Irony or not, it is a fantastic turn of events.

Only irony if her condition was "doesn't enjoy being strangled"

Tomorrow we have a Mom, Dad and Q trip to NYC planned because she seems to need a just-her event since the youngest just starting to walk and requiring a ton of attention and all that. The youngest has come down with a fever threatening to sabotage this trip.

Almost 200 miles round trip (in a light snow) is the closest.

I think you're close if the taxidermist is the veterinarian. But, I don't know any more.

I was in Wal-Mart last weekend with L-Jam 4 getting seeds for the herb garden. We go into the main store and I'm trying to keep up with him, when my corner too tight and the cart knocks over an end display. What was on the end display, you ask?

A display of travel coffee mugs designed not to tip over.

I like What do you mean?, Sorry, and Where are U now? much more than love yourself.

In early February, Mrs. Sabo and I ordered a kitchen table and chairs from an Amish furniture maker. We were told it would take 10-12 weeks to build and deliver, which is fine.

In the mean time, I've received at least three e-mail solicitations from this furniture maker.

Maybe they went to the library to send their marketing e-mails.

There are different levels of Amish (Amishness?), and depending on the level, they can use electricity for some tasks. Old order Amish can't use any modern convenience, can't ride in cars, etc. More liberal Amish communities allow Amish workers to use air compressors for work, and some groups of Amish families will jointly buy a property and put in electricity there so they can power freezers, refrigerators and even have phones.

It seems odd to me they would follow religious practices that prohibit certain things in their private lives but allow them to get around those rules. It is, dare I say, ironic.

Not my call, but I wouldn't call that irony... unless the person he saved was the author of a book debunking the effectiveness of the Heimlich maneuver.

What about if a person who worked for PepsiCo, or even the CEO, got arrested for possession or overdosed on coke (the white powder kind)?
