: Huggy, that's the best one yet. Too many of us go through life thinking we're doing all these wonderful deeds ... charities, if you will ... when really it's no sweat off our brow.
: Hmmm ... relating to LOTM ... now Duncan, at the end, THAT was charity!
Well, speaking for myself, I ain't sharing ANYTHING with any stupid dog! I would walk a mile through waist deep snow to get a can of Fancy Feast for my darling cats, but the dog can go to blazes.
As for Charity.....no way I would hang over the fire for Cora aka Madeline Stowe. For Betty maybe...certainly on those 24 days when she is NOT cranky from PMS.....but during PMS I am just as likely to invite her to join Alice over the cliff.
Which prompts a question.....did you EVER NOTICE in ALL these period movies NONE of the women are EVER suffering from PMS?????
Why is that, may I ask? In real life Cora would be cramping in that cave under the waterfall, and when Hawkeye jumps, he is jumping to escape the wrath of a PMSing woman, with her words of "And don't come back without some damn Midal!" ringing in his ears.
