Then shouldn't it be called SMASHED?I thought he was referring to Dinah Manoff. Maybe it was Dina Merrill.

Mormons apologize for posthumous Jewish baptism.I remember reading that Mormons had posthumously baptized other historical people, such as Anne Frank and even Adolph Hitler!

I really only take aspirin and occasionally, but when the IVs were taken out of my hands, the nurse commented on how thin my blood was. Blech. So, I'm taking brussels sprouts instead.
So they have been at it again since the last time they apologized.
I just got offered two tckets for tomorrow's matinee of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS, Fantastic! I've been dying to see Beau Bridges in it.
The little buddy I used to take out on Adventures is a Mormon. One night he told me he had to get back in time for the baptism for the dead, in which he was taking part. I told him if he baptized me after I'm dead, I will haunt him.

DR Jane I still have the cold but it's not so bad. I just feel tired and have a runny nose.
Is there one more "Downton Abbey" episode this season? Or was this week's the last? Anybody now?

I'm going to look at the article now but I thought this was very old news.THIS link to a political forum has some interesting links in the first post...very interesting.
And personally, I don't know how I'm going to make it until next Fall for Season Three of "Downton Abbey" it's like crack. Not that I'd know what crack is like, but... whatever.Valentine's Day dinner if the DP ever gets home from work - T-Bones, brocolli, and These Little Beauties
