Every homeowner dreams of a water feature on their property at least once in a while. But should it be a cement pool for the kids to swim in, or a nature pond with plants and fish? David Pagan Butler said, "Why not both?"

C’mon Miss C, that shirt doesn’t look anything like you. You're way prettier than that.

“And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind”
Does that mean loud and smelly?

Plant food processing makes me think of water and wind Grist mills, but they were smashing grains by hand.
I wonder how they would eat grains if they weren’t smashed, boiled? In soup? Chewed raw?

They only went back to 1950 with the movies, then have the temerity to say what my parents were laughing at. They did list some great movies but a couple of them I didn’t think were particularly funny.
Ones that were, like Blazing Saddles, or Dr Strangelove I doubt could be made today, maybe not even Airplane or Auntie Mame.

I know what you mean. The graduate and Moonstruck were good movies, but I didn't know they were supposed to be comedies.

I didn't think of Fargo as a comedy either. Maybe it is a comedy in its absurdity, with over-the-top stupid violence placed in the North Dakota 'you-betcha' culture.
