Obviously you must know that I, too, stew in my own childhood juices on a daily basis so get with the stories, huh? So that I'll have something to read? Because? I'm too tired to do actual work? Help a sister out here. Oh, and the earrings are nice as well.

I certainly do love That Janet. Thank god they made her eggs right, and the gravy wasn't watery as it has been in places that will remain unnamed! p.s. the earrings are cool. Are you gonna sell them online?

My monitor sucks, so it looked to me like you were making handcuffs and other strange gear. But I squinted a bit and then everything made sense.

No offense to you guys in the South, but what in the hell is going on in Tennessee? I thought Chattanooga was a city? Where they would have money to pay literate people to write for their paper? I just stumbled upon this blog, and saw this link to Janet�s online column, and I am nothing less than horrified. I�m so embarrassed for her, and I�m embarrassed for the people of Chattanooga. Someone needs to fire her, and she needs to never write anything publicly again. She is writing at the 4th grade level, and an assessment test will prove it. �I ate food at this one place. And it was good. They were friendly. You should go.� Cut, paste, and repeat every week. I�m not trying to be mean, but the semi-literate should not be handed public forums to write in, to dumb-down everyone who reads them. In giving her a column, they are sending her the message that she is a good writer, and encouraging her to be the sub-mediocre writer that she is. She probably has no idea that she is a terrible, boring writer. Embarrassing.

i always feel so bad for wayne when i read her articles. i feel that he is probably the human version of some sort of long-suffering beagle, complete with droopy eyes and mournful sighs. "poor wayne," i think. "ordering the omelet while janet eats the entire menu. what will bring meaning to HIS life?" it's possible that i should stop giving personalities to people's orders at restaurants, especially when the restaurant in question is inside an old gas station; with those ones, you never can tell.

I have tons of deisturbing childhood memories that make me stew. And sometimes seeing certain people transports me years back in time. I don't know if it's a matter of dealing with it or letting it go.

"She probably has no idea that she is a terrible, boring writer." Heh, except for that time I wrote and told her she sucked. Actually, I sent her the rules for the proper use of quotation marks. She was "unamused." But Shawna, if it makes you feel any better, Janet isn't a paid writer, she does it for free! I have a friend who used to intern at the Chattanoogan and she introduced me to the joy of Janet. Oh, the humanity.

Whoa, what scares me on the Chattanoogan site is the web poll containing the name Ann Coulter. Anyway -I wear your earrings a lot, and I love them so very much. Awww. I took a picture of them even... nice yes?

WHO'S GOING TO GIVE THE MAILMAN A HOT CUP OF SOUP? is cracking me up. I bet he thinks it's funny every single time.

No, wait! I interned at the Chattanooga Times Free Press, which is the newspaper in Chattanooga, and is entirely separate from Chattanoogan.com, which is a website run by disgruntled former employees of the newspaper. I swear, the newspaper is good! Don't associate me with Janet! "Please!"

Yikes, sorry Lela, I totally got that wrong. DIFFERENT PAPER! I had no idea and I'm sorry to connect you with Janet in any way. Even though you're her cousin.

So is Pat Robertson, but we don't talk about him, either.
