		<description><![CDATA[

Didn’t your mother teach you to eat with your mouth shut? That’s what mine taught me. But there are some people who are otherwise civilized, yet they don’t seem to be able to eat without smacking their lips, making sucking sounds, and making me want to go after them with a butter knife.
I believe this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

From Jack in Ohio: What’s your opinion on door knobs? What color should they be?
Well, Jack, I prefer levers. And they must never be brass. I have brushed nickel levers, myself.
The only thing about levers is that you can’t temporarily attach a dog to it (at least without impaling him). The leash handle slides right [...]]]></description>

So if you happen to be bickering in a restaurant and notice that all the people seated around you are quiet, [...]]]></description>

Practically everyone has a name. So why do so many people refer to their significant others as “he” or “she,” especially when it’s not crystal clear who they are talking about? My dad used to do that when talking about his second wife. Out of the blue, he would say something like “She’s going to [...]]]></description>

It doesn’t matter if you’re a male or a female. You always marry your mother . . . unless you’ve been through lots of therapy and are over the age of 30. Then you might be safe, though not necessarily.
So my advice is two-fold: (1) DO NOT get married before you’re 30, and (2) make [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

My opinion: kids should not be potty trained until they are begging you to get them out of those diapers. So you’re having another baby and don’t want to be changing diapers on two kids? Suck it up. You’ll be SO sorry if you potty train too soon.
I can offer up anecdotal evidence, but it [...]]]></description>
