Life is far too short for drama. Love sweets, barbecue, good home cooking, seafood. Like balance in life : good exercise, good up tempo music, the occasional cold Corona Most of the problems of this world can be traced directly back to arrogance, poor communication, a lack of common courtesy, and greed. Still a cartoon fan, a good listener, eager to learn and believe laughter truly is good medicine.

  • Jason Garrett next Cowboys head coach?

    John Madden had predicted Jason Garrett as an NFL head coach for years. I just don't see it. His play calling can be cited as one of the reasons this year's Cowboys are struggling. (4th and 1 and Romo is throwing?)

    I'm not a Cowboys fan, but wonder if he is still being considered as a replacement for Wade.

  • Does it drive you crazy?

    When your team has a great prospect and either trade or release them?

    Blue Jackets had Filatov, an absolute fire-plug and clutch scorer. Released him...and went on a 7 game skid.

    Has your team ever released or traded a player, then entered a scoring slump?

    Do you consider it karma?

  • Texas Nebraska final results...fan reaction?

    I only saw the hightlights, did not watch the game unfold.

    Just curious, are fans of Texas glad for the win and relieved with booth review?

    Or are you furious with your coach for sitting on that timeout, eating up clock, and trying to gain another few yards before kicing that last field goal?

  • Why are 3 men in the booth?

    Sumerall and Madden held down the Monday Night Football booth incredibly well, for years.

    Al Michaels and Madden worked well together. I realize MNF has changed networks, but why does ESPN insist on changing the format?

    Haven't we learned from the Dennis Miller and Kornheiser failed experiments?

    Every other NCAA and NFL game is adequately covered by a play by play and a color commentator.

    Is MNF that much more complex of a game? I'm confused.

  • Does your school district require levy votes?

    We live in Central OH and the way schools are funded by state is based almost solely on property tax. Every 2-4 years voters are faced with increases or loss of sports and school activities.

    I wonder if this is unique situation, or does your child's district have the same problem/issues with funding...

  • Have they finally buried Frank TV ?

    Last season all through baseball playoffs they completely blasted us with promotions for this show. I wondered if the network cancelled the show, or if it's coming back @ New Year's, etc.

  • Is J Gruden the network's biggest suck up?

    Did not know much about Gruden when he coached in Tampa Bay other than his tough looking "Chuckie" face. Now hearing him gush, blush and have man crushes on players and coaches, from the broadcast booth - it's hard to know what to make of this guy.

    And I thought listening to Kornheiser last year was painful...

  • Honestly, how can I help him with homework?

    Am I the only parent who feels completely inept? Tried to help my son with his math last night and had to get on-line to look up "partial sums" and "partial difference subtraction." New requirements of the OH standardized test(s).

    Helped him do some basic subtraction and his teacher marked it all wrong. Even though our answers 'are technically correct' she informed the class they need to use new math methods to solve. I'm wondering how I can be a help to my son, at all.

    Are other parents out there finding it hard to help your children with basic homework?

  • NFL Q.B. knee sensitivity?

    Too young to remember...when Joe Theisman's leg was broken, did the NFL institute stricter "roughing the passer" penalties? Watching Colts/Titans last night, defenders could barely pressure Manning w/o drawing a 15 yard penalty.

    Doesn't this alter the entire defensive scheme?

    Are we watching a sissy-fied version of the NFL?

  • What do you recommend for sniffles, cough?

    We have a 1 month old who started sneezing, having a little cough.

    I've used the respirator to clear her nose, we've given her a bath with the soothing vapor bath. No fever, she's just congested. Is there something you've used that works on a child this young/small? Thanks for the help

  • LOST authorities/fans can you tell me why...?

    John Locke orders Ben to kill Jacob. Jacob has this deity like presence and yet a couple of stabs to the chest and he's dying. Now instead of taking his body, to show all the follows that Locke is now their official unquestioned leader - Locke rolls his body into the fire.

    Why destroy the only proof? People had wondered if Jacob actually existed, why not show them? Locke has such an ego, why not prove he is now the leader of the island?

    (sorry, I'm intimidated to enter a theory forum/chat room and ask.)

  • Can someone please explain "How I Met Your Mother"?

    Given in to a dozen friends telling me I "HAD" to watch this show. Wow....this is physically painful to watch. Doogie Howser is nothing more than an effiminite wanna-be-David-Spade. (see 'Rules of Engagement')

    Thing is I like Seagel in his other projects, love Hannigan. But for some reason this cast/writing/chemistry just doesn't work.

    Where, oh where is the comedy?

  • Can someone please explain P.M.I. to me?

    (sorry if this is the wrong section)

    There are so many properties in foreclosure here. Made me wonder what good it does to pay P.M.I. along with the mortgage. Doesn't P.M.I. pay the mortgate company, even if the borrower is unable to pay the full mortgage/note? Doesn't this insurance cover the amount of the loan? I'm confused as to why so many people are losing their homes and we have this mortgage crisis.

  • If you had NFL G.M. power for a day(?)?

    ...who would you draft for your favorite NFL team? Would you make any key changes (in 2009) to their current roster? Try to land a hot free agent?

    My team was out of the playoffs in October, so the only thing I have to look forward is 2009 regular season...
