Is "toque" really the spelling? Since I pronounce it "tewk" I didn't even know what it was till I clicked on the link.

DR SWW, thanks so much for the cooking tips. I really appreciate it.

I always watched CHiPS! And I remember that episode clearly....and the skateboard kids episode - and the roller disco episode!

You are right about watching something before judging it. I just don't have the time to watch everything, plus there are two of us choosing our evening viewing. When Keith traveled I could watch anything I wanted but no longer.

Now it's time for my walk!

-I need more potato chips!

Laters...

Now I want potato chips, but Tim's. I have never had Utz's to compare. And I want Hammond's pretzels from Pennsylvania.

I must go get some work done.

Jennifer I was under the impression the women are running around having affairs. Am I mistaken?

Actually, only one woman is having an affair (the Hispanic woman with her 17 year old Caucasian gardener). The others are either married (happily or un) or not married but wanting to date or just "hook up" with the cute plumber who's not quite who he seems to be.

Ha, ha! No, only one wife is having an affair...it really is campy fun...not really a drama, not really a comedy, sort of a mystery...just lots of fun entertainment!

...but I know what you mean. One reason I haven't watched LOST or JOAN OF ARCADIA is because I didn't want to get hooked on too many weekly shows...and both looked like shows I would want to not miss. I did make the mistake of watching COLD CASE last Sunday and now I want to watch it regularly!

"Desperate Housewives" is da bomb!

Totally riveting. It's truly one of the hour's of my week that seems like minutes.

All the stars are riveting, the plot is twisting so grandly, and with such macabre glee, that I can honestly say I haven't enjoyed a series this much since the third and fourth and fifth seasons of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (the greatest series EVER, IMO).

"Lost" isn't far behind in its ability to mesmerize me...but it's in a different way entirely.

Well, I have some bad news for you.. It's always been "prerogative" even though it's pronounced like "perogative" most of the time.

Words, words, words....

Err...umm....make that "MIS-pronounced most of the time."

The "r" following the "p" is supposed to be sounded.

But we live in a world where most folks say they "could care less" when the true sentiment is "COULDN'T care less."

If you "could care less," there's no point in saying the phrase at all. It implies that you "care" a bit.

"PRE-rogative" is the correct spelling of the word, but "per-rogative" is the common pronunciation of the word. Like pronouncing FEB-ROO-ary as opposed to FEB-YOU-ary...noo-clee-yer vs. nuke-you-ler. It's all personal preference.

All things are personal preference these days...like running red lights; throwing trash on the highway; etc., etc.

You can be named "Bucket" and pronounce it "bouquet"...but folks who know better still laugh at you behind your back.

I have an acquaintance whose pride in life is correcting others folks' grammar and pronunciation. It's rude and annoying and grates on most of us.

Yet, he pronounces the perfectly wonderful French work "outrè" as "out-tray." He uses the word a lot. His associates who know better (i.e., it's pronounced "ooh-tray") haven't corrected him as that, in their minds, is bad manners. I haven't corrected him because it pleases me not to.

I'd love to be there when he learns the correct pronunciation of it.

One of my favorite episodes of "Friends" contained the following exchange:

Joey: All right, Rach. The big question is, "does he like you?" All right? Because if he doesn't like you, this is all a moo point.

Rachel: Huh. A moo point?

Joey: Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo.

Rachel: Have I been living with him for too long, or did that all just make sense?
