: : : A bone to the dog is not charity. Charity is the bone shared with the dog, when you are just as hungry as the dog.

: : 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.

Hmmmmm, and I s'pose if it had been Alexandria....this could have been the outburst at Camerons Cabin......
"I see..........you invite your friends over, without so much as a word of warning, you expect me to pull dinner out of a hat, wait on you hand and foot, and I suppose after dinner, you will want to go out on the tiles, smoking and drinking with your mates, while I stay home with the kids and clean up this mess....and how many times do I have to ask you to TAKE OUT THE TRASH!!"
hehehe
