P.S. I think all those hats are probably a sin, too!

Well, but we all already know that I'm a lost cause. So surely a little more won't hurt.

Now who said that? They need to be taken to the altar and prayed through!

It must have been one of them ULTRA-CONS and you could never get them to admit that they needed to pray through! Just kidding!!UC's. Come on smile! I was just joking! A little!!

Re: The Royal Wedding - Prince William and Kate

I'm up that time of the morning every weekday. But, even if I did have a tv, I still would not care to watch. I don't understand why some folks go silly over some things.

Enjoying a beautiful wedding is 'going silly'?

Well, you know what I meant! LOL
More like the world going silly over someone else's wedding
that they have no personal relationships with.
Better?

I understand your viewpoint, but I don't agree with it.

Sometimes it's nice to just get lost in watching a full-blown shindig. It's the same reason I enjoy watching the Presidential Inaugural Celebrations. It's so far out of the realm of reality for me, so far removed from my life, that I just find it fascinating.

There is little royalty left these days, it's like a throw-back to another time. Watching all of the formality, all of the pomp... I just enjoy it. It's interesting. And as I said, I love to look at beautiful things, and I imagine there will be a lot of that to look at.

Whatever your opinions of the monarchy, this is still a piece of history worth watching, IMO. (And appealing to girls everywhere.)
I'm not getting up. I "may" set the recorder.

Re: The Royal Wedding - Prince William and Kate

I'd like to watch, but I'm with ILG, I'll have to catch it on the internet later. No TV. I have a strong aversion to cable bills.

We just bought a good antenna. No cable bills, and enough channels for us.
