. . . And finally, here’s the OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY’s short and sweet take:

HEN-PECKED adjective, colloquial: Domineered over by, or subject to the rule of, a wife. . . .

You say that like it's a bad thing. ;^)

(Happy wife, happy life!)

Thanks for creating the link, Phil! Watching it again, still gives me shivers.
Gots to close up shop at the office: will visit again in a couple of hours. (I can hear you -- "Yeah, sure. I'll believe it when I see it".)

So glad this topic came up again, because I'm reminded to post " THIS " (a wonderful YouTube video that illustrates a "murmuration of starlings"). Meant to do this a long time ago, when I still remembered how to copy and paste a url address in order to set up a hypertext link, making the word "THIS"...

Why, sugar and spice and everything nice, WoZ. Thanks for asking! It was Delilah's "big flamin' deal" that elicited outright prolonged laughter, reminding me how much fun I have here in WooWooLand (hats off to Mirav). I don't know how life got so complicated that I can no longer spend two to three h...

Geez, I've missed you.

Another particle physics joke:

A photon walks into a hotel lobby.
The bellhop asks the photon, "May I take your luggage?"
Replies the photon, "I have no luggage -- I'm traveling light!"

(Don't forget to wave goodbye when you leave.)

sunnydayaway, Although I haven't had the time or patience to read this entire thread, I can agree completely with you that "mumble", "mutter", and "murmur" are entirely different from each other. In writing, I would never use "murmur" when I meant "mumble", and I would hope to have wit to come up wi...

Good night. Sleep tight.
Don't let the bed bugs bite.

Well, try drifting off to dreamland after hearing THAT from your grandma!

It's been a vicarious pleasure to read of your visit with each other, Bobinwales and Wozinoz! So glad to see it.
Considering your record with extreme rainy weather, Bob, I would ask you to stay away from Northeast USA for a few years -- we're still recuperating from "Sandy"!

trolley, I have a dried wishbone on the sill at this very moment -- just waiting for the next time someone needs a wish. I've kept several among the Christmas tree decorations, painted gold -- again to just have on hand for wishing, if the spirit moves. The best wishbone I ever broke with someone: I...

"Never trust an atom -- they make up everything!"

Another good one -- !

(I wonder why I find these jokes about the eroding of one's memory so funny?)

Fantastic! OPL!

(Just spending some time turning the red bits blue.)

WOZ makes an important point, but I'd like to add something. Stevenloan, I've always thought the phrase "It was a blur" had more to do with one's memory of events over a period of time, rather than how quickly the time passed. The two are connected, of course, because, as we all know from watching G...

You're right, hsargent, I just hoard to say it!
