Cold Case is pretty good. Desperate Housewives was okay for a while but Terri Hatcher's constant pratfalls drove me away -- can't the creepy widower kill her off? CSI:NY infuriates me. I wanted to like it because I really like Gary Sinise, but not even he can salvage the laughable dialogue the writers churn out. And what's with having 'CSI:NY' printed on their lab coats and flashing on their computer screens? Will they forget where they work if they don't have a constant reminder? At least I can thank CNBC for getting me to turn off the TV and read some of those books piled up on my shelf.

Maryam2003,

I hope you are kidding, either about that question to Molly - or on
your personal profile where it says that you are an "evangelical
missionary."

Are you looking to proseletyze to those poor single muslim Turkish
men? They are gonna love you, I promise.

I guess my point is, when you ask a question like this,
you are gonna get either generalizations or flames.
I am sure you will meet our own flamer before
too much longer.

maryam, few people here know this, but i am actually a nun.

That explains so much Molly, after all you need the quiet calm manner of a nun to be a D.O.S at any school. I don't need to say god help you. I guss as a Nun you've got a direct line to him/her.

As I was watching Desperate Housewives last night, I remembered about commercials on American TV, and why Turkish commercials don't bother me all that much. In a 1 hour program like that, every time it fades to black for a second or 2, it means a commercial break in America-- that's like, 5 times per show, or about every 7 minutes, and the breaks in the US are longer than here-- 5-7 minutes during Prime Time. That's probably why the Turks have put so many commercials, plus they start the show after the hour and it ends before the next hour-- a 1 hour program in the US is closer to 40 minutes, and a half hour sit-com is really more like 17 minutes...

Sorry! I think I was misunderstood-- I wasn't trying to pimp out whynotme-- I just thought being a Turkish man made him the best qualified to answer that question....

And it's an adorable photo of your son. The combined cuteness of the boy and the kitten might be a bit much, but I forgive you. He's a lovely boy.

hee hee hee!!! We may generalize from that avatar that Turkish men have a clever yet biting sense of humor. Aferin!

That picture's cute too, you should mention it to your son when he's about 14. Do you have one like that with a kitten in it?
