I do not think that the driveway, where it was melted off to dirt/gravel has re-frozen, as it felt (under the snow this morning, about like it had last night, when it was bare.)

I understand exactly what you are saying. I feel it to. The worst is over and we are leaving winter and entering into spring.

DW is a hillbilly. An honest to goodness Kentucky Hillbilly, one of 14 brothers and sisters (no kidding). They did have indoor plumbing until the 80's.

She's a little more worldly now though very proud of being a hillbilly. She says being called a hillbilly is a term of endearment.

I dunno I'm still on the fence with her. She is a beauty but I don't think she's the sharpest knife in the drawer. My son was watching Mr and Mrs Smith today or whatever it's called she looked pretty hot in that one. I guess it was the billboard of tattoos she sports that made me lean toward skank. I have no problem with a nice well placed tattoo on a sexy woman but not War and Peace printed on someone.

It does not take a sharp knife to read a script.

I was raised in a culture where females with tats were less than reputable.

I do understand that our culture is changing. But I do not think that today's youth cares at all.

Oh, thank god, I wouldn't have wanted to have offended anyone.

I liked her in each of those roles.

Does that make her hot skank?

I loved her as 'Lara Croft' and 'Mrs. Smith'. I think she's made many positive changes. Being with that hunk of a man she has now is a positive too! Of course, if I could look like her...........nope, wouldn't trade him in for anyone!

I tend to agree on the tattoo issue but in these times you risk offending just about anyone if you speak disapprovingly about them. My daughter had to get one when she turned 18, all the friends thing. At least she got it in a place that can be hidden by normal clothing and it is only the size of a half dollar.
Even our multi-million-heiress, Harvard educated, Boston Blue Blood, Pug cuddling neighbor has a tattoo on her shoulder.

As my mother would say, "Jezebel!!!"

I've wanted a little dolphin on my ankle. I'm just afraid of catching some disease!
