Congrats on the wedding anniversary, Mav! Sending many good job vibeys your way as well.

I'm not big on knowing the ending before hand. Getting there is half the fun in my mind.

Okay, here's an imponderable: why do hot dogs come in packages of eight and hot dog buns come in packages of ten?

because there is a war between the hot dog people and the bun people and there is no decisive victory in this war of proportions...

Thanks, deepgirl. Husband & I have had ups and downs. We're pretty happy to have made it to 13 years. If I could just get a decent job, thing's been pretty darn rosy!

I'm convinced the hotdog/bun problem stems from the Oscar Mayer cartel. They've been controlling things behind the scenes for years.

So I suppose you play the MsQ denial game too. If you watch the movie without knowing what's going to happen and it ends "unsuitably", after a few months you watch it again all the way up to the objectionable part and switch it off you you can make up your own happy ending in your head and the movie is finally deemed "acceptable".

Well, do you?

DeepGirl! This is getting to be a regular thing with you again. So glad to have you back.

The less you know about how they make hot dogs, the better off you'll be...

Hey, Zeek, honey. How's it going?

No I just avoid the movie/book entirely...unless I'm already sucked into the series...like Harry Potter ( in case it turns out Snape is a bad guy which will break my heart...I will still read it)

I'm sleepy, sweetie pie. Other than that everything ok I guess. Still haven't spontaneously found a winning lottery ticket. So, I still have to be at work.

um... cuz... you're buying the wrong ones.
Around here, you can get hotdogs in a pack of ten or buns in a pack of eight....
