Erma Bombeck

Sometimes people say it better than I can.

Here is an example from Erma Bombeck.

Erma Bombeck's words.

Some quotes from Erma Bombeck (Sorry if the ad to the left is for Meeting Married Women).

It was interesting, when doing research on this entry, the discrepancies I found from site to site. For example, the quote at the end of the first hyperlink appears not to have been a part of the message "If I Had My Life To Live Over". It is something she said or wrote on another occasion. Also, many tribute pages said that she died of cancer, which is not true. She died from complications from an unsuccessful kidney transplant. This goes to show that just because it is on the Internet doesn't mean that it is true (including my stuff).

Finally, a Johnny V. thought. I often say that life is like a sponge. You spend a lot of time soaking things up, but when I die I would like to say that I was able to squeeze every last drop out of that sponge.
