I have missed a few episodes of The Closer. Last week, Fritz came home with a kitten for Brenda. What happened to Kitty, the cat Brenda had in the previous seasons?

I think it's getting real old, real fast. Nine times out of 10, Simon is right in what he says. He may not find the best words, but he's usually right.

Mine is REM's "Everybody Hurts"

Just wanted to tell you all Merry Christmas and blessings for a happy and healthy New Year! ((((everybody on YA))))

We are subject to random drug testing at our workplace, which I do not have a problem with. My question is that they are requesting a cheek swab also. I am curious to the legality of obtaining DNA when one is opposed. This is the first I have ever heard of using cheek swabs during drug testing. Can anyone enlighten me?

Which song would you pick?

My brake pedal squeaks (well groans) when I press it. The noise seems to be coming from the pedal, not the brakes themselves. Brakes still work fine. Any ideas?

If you order more than one ticket, will they be guaranteed to be on the same flight? Two adults, two kids. We don't need to be split up. Any experience with this?

What sauce or condiment would compliment crab cakes?

Questions will be posted about Yahoo mail being down before people realize it's happening to everyone?

It started with the ABS Low trac lights. I replaced a front wheel bearing and that went off. Then, the service engine soon light appeared. After process of elimination, we're thinking it may be the filler neck tube on the gas tank as the code leads to a vacuum problem with the fuel system. The gas tank and seal are new. Now today, the security light came on. So far, the car is still starting with no problem, and I am aware of the ACC and wait 10 minutes to reset ritual should it arise. I'm just wondering...could it be a short and the lights are going haywire? I love this car, but she's driving me to drink. Basically, I'm looking for enlightenment (pun intended) on the situation, especially the security light.

I know some of you are still fortunate enough to have your parents, but for those who don't. . .

How did you manage when it came time to 'sort and toss' the memories? Granted, this is not a new problem. My Dad has been dead 32 years, and my Mom 13. We're selling the homestead and cleaning out the attic. I'm feeling guilty throwing out all the things my Mom saved (like bowling trophies and all the sympathy cards from my Dad). Help me to rationalize it as I'm emotional right now. Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Would anyone else like to see the ability to add html tags to our answers? There have been numerous times when I would like to bold, underline or italic my answer for emphasis.

To keep from answering some of the questions? At times, I read some of these questions and my sarcastic side just jumps out and takes over. Do you ever have to restrain yourself from answering for fear of REALLY insulting the person who asked the question?

I'm one of those fans who 'keeps the faith', but it seems that with every game, someone else gets hurt. Granted, some of these are short term (like Jason's stiff neck and Jorge's sore back, and Bubba's hamstring), but can we make it through the season without Matsui and Pavano, and will Randy Johnson ever get "it" back? Do you think it's time to bring up the minor leaguers and groom some youth?

I use vanilla yogurt. I'm tired of crushed pineapple and bananas. Does anyone have some good ideas for me?
