empathy. In my sister's case we had the
opportunity to work with the developer of the
Saltz regimen ... which, along with other things
the guy recommended, didn't do a lick of good to
basically anyone. Oh, well.

Figures. Sometimes the research doesn't pan out. Or the "new and
improved" treatment makes things worse. I ran into that more than
once.

Saltz was the guy who suckered Martha Stewart
(not the most sympathetic character) into the
situation that ended her ass in jail.

I get the putz part but not the Tony Roma part - what
does that chain have to do with boots? Another question:

Makes cowboy boots.

I thought he was The Place for Ribs.

Never heard of a rib joint with that name.

Our interests may differ a bit. I'd never heard
of footwear by that name.

why did the Jewish word for one of a man's most prized
attributes come to mean, well, schmuck and putz?

No idea, but it might have something to do with the ratio of

brain to

wedding tackle usage in question.

Welll ... only a mother would be allowed to make
remarks like that without them being fighting words.

I've been called a mother a few times, but ... well....

Well ... .

La Boheme's plot all but put me off opera for life at the age of
five. A woman with terminal TB singing arias? Seriously?

Especially in Puccini titles, where the standard
pattern is boy meets girl, boy gets girl (or as in
the case of Tosca, gets shot down), guy goes oh
goodygoodygoody (or baddybaddybaddy, in the case of
Tosca), girl dies. A surefire recipe for operatic
success.

It worked for Puccini.

Who not only got rich and famous off the formula
but attracted all sorts of presumably maochistic
women to his bedroom.

One hopes who's next is not one who tells
the lighthouse to get out of the way.

With our luck I wouldn't hold your breath.

Bashing politics in this echo is not so offtopic
as to earn a chiding. It does get kind of old,
though (if a little funny, granted). Bashing
individual parctitioners of that discipline
will be moderated.

Eh, twenty bucks' worth of miles for a couple
hours I'd have spent doing the same thing anyway
(e-mail or FIDO).

Getting paid for nothing works for me.

Why fly point-to-point? There's no points to it.

Good old snake oil is alive and well and still in production.

Sometimes you gotta wonder.

One reason I only go after the profession in general. There are
plenty of folk out there in other venues giving individual members of
the species a hard time.
