TheBanyanTree: You can't bury a cow here

[Monique Colver]

It's all okay.

I know people who judge others based on musical taste (Green Day is so
yesterday, if you like Train you're a schlub. (I just made that word up.)
People judge based on books, music, comedy, movies, houses, neighborhoods,
shoes (well, shoes are important), hair, children, sports. But it's all
fine. It's all good. There's a reason there's so many different types of
everything, so everyone can find something they like.

OT: Did you hear about Dan Rather and his half-dose of Ambien? Well, I took
a full dose tonight and I may not be making much sense soon. If not, just
ignore me.
