It is weird for me not to put in a link over to visit TRAVIS at "Trav's Thoughts" on a Tuesday to read his review of Dancing With The Stars...but as anyone who cares knows...Mr. Donny Osmond won the Mirror Ball last week...
Congrats to Mr. Osmond and his fantastic professional partner Kym Johnson for their victory. Ms. Johnson did an excellent job choreographing the routines to play to Mr. Osmond's strong points all season and especially for their last number of the season.

Holiday season is upon us and it is also my busiest time at work as I gear up for 2010 mailings. I will be away days at a time over the next month but will try and continue to post each weekday as has been the norm here on The Couch since March of 2006. Over 950 posts and some 121,000 plus visitors later. We have reupholstered the Couch three times and if I could do one thing over again, it would have been to change the URL with each design change to leave the old designs and their posts in tact.
I realize that if anyone wanted to go back to the beginning, it would be difficult to read some posts. YES! I understand it is because of my incessant need to use various colors to illustrate certain things. Like with this format names are in light red; show titles or song titles are italicized and in lime green; album titles and band names are also in lime green, but ALBUM TITLES are capped and in bold and BAND NAMES are just capped - well, most of the time.
It does bother me that my old formats are lost...but I will learn from that and when/if we reupholster here again, we will change the URL...something simple...add a 1 to the end.

When you are a celebrity and you have been in the news your entire life...can there be certain expectations of privacy? I would certainly like to think so - but it appears that is, once again, not the case.
Now I am not talking about a celebrity (defined as anyone who earns a living by appearing on television, screen, sports and politics) who has been caught having an affair out in public, or has spoken words that offend, or has been found to be intoxicated to the point of making a spectacle of themselves.
Then it is difficult to presume privacy. Now, how about a domestic dispute gone further than it should have? By bringing it onto a public street and by damaging public property, does that give the public a right to know what occurred?
Yesterday, Eldrick Tont Woods withdrew from the golf tournament he should be hosting this week. He and his bride, Elin Nordegren, have also told Florida Highway Patrol a number of times that they did not want to talk and as of my writing this, I have not heard that this item has changed.
OK, you get into it with your wife on Thanksgiving -- she burnt the corn bread...you burnt the turkey...one of you didn't want to deal with the green crap that continually oozes out of your baby...so you have an argument.
Excepting...it gets a tad heated and she decides to start swinging at you with one of the golf clubs sitting by the door in anticipation of a little round with the boys on Friday morning.
You begin to yell "Hey honey..now let's be careful where you swing that thing, it costs $400.00" and this makes her even more upset.
You grab the nearest set of car keys, run out of the house and jump in your car...wife in hot pursuit.
Car goes into drive and you begin to take off down the drive and think "phew...got outta that one", when the sound of breaking glass makes you turn your head - which allows you to see the wife making like Albert Pujols and your golf club smashing through another window.
BANG! Your car runs into the fire hydrant across from your drive and the car skids a bit and hit the tree in the neighbors yard.
You stagger from the car and wife takes aim at your head...
Advance to hospital where police come to find you have already left and gone home.
Advance to your house, police asking if they can have a word - and you say "Sorry not available"!!!!
When you get 'star' treatment...and then you put out a lame story that your wife was a 'hero' and broke out the windows to save you, then well kiddies...then you get what you deserve.
I think the story would have held more water if the freaking air bags had gone off!
I love what this man has done for the game of golf. He supports his charity and gives mucho dinero to help kids...he has been squeeky clean for 34 years and now, because of a fight at home, it could all come crashing down.
The reason for the fight...as they used to say in da neighborhood 'nonejabiz'

All you need to do is click on the graphic to get tothe rest of the RUBY TUESDAY posts...
From our recent Garage Sale...this was very early in the day just as the sun came up around 7:00am
Plenty of hits of red in the stadium chairs on the lower right and the soccer ball and the clothes hanging on the tent in the back...
Thanks for stopping by...
