Of all the mistakes people make when speaking, either grammatical or misquoting expressions, the one that most drives me up the wall is when somebody says, "I could care less..." about something.
 
THAT MAKES NO SENSE! If you could care less about something, that means you DO care about it, at least a little bit, and it is possible that something could make you care even less than you currently do.
 
HOWEVER, when you use the correct expression, "I COULDN'T CARE LESS..." it means that nothing in the world could cause you to care any less, because you already care as little as is humanly possible for you to care.
 
GOD, I NEEDED TO GET THAT OFF MY CHEST!!!

Apparently, the bride has never heard of "removing one's glasses" and "handing your crutches to someone out of camera range."
 
Instead of gifts, people should contribute to the groom's divorce fund.

DEAR ABBY: I am a bridesmaid for my brother's upcoming wedding. However, his fiancee is throwing out some crazy mandates for the big day.
 
1. All family members must wear contact lenses. Glasses will not be allowed because they look ugly in pictures. (Both her mom and my parents wear glasses.)
 
2. She made my father get dental work to "improve his smile."
 
3. I recently tore my ACL, and she says I can't bring crutches to the ceremony because she doesn't want them in the pictures.
 
How much more of this should our family put up with? I love her as my niece's mother, but not as my future sister-in-law. Would it be better to tell them I won't be a bridesmaid? I am afraid to speak up because I want a relationship with my niece. -- AFRAID OF BRIDEZILLA
 
DEAR AFRAID: Your brother's fiancee appears to have gone off the deep end. Weddings are supposed to be about love, commitment and the joining together of two families, not the photo album.
 
While I sympathize with her desire for a "perfect" wedding, the idea that your parents and her mother must invest in contact lenses or miss seeing the ceremony and reception because glasses aren't "allowed" is ludicrous. And the suggestion that you leave your crutches and risk further damaging your ACL is off the charts.
 
Talk to your brother. Perhaps he can make his ladylove see the light. If not, I wouldn't blame you -- and your parents and her mother, by the way -- if you decided to skip the "show."
 
DEAR AFRAID: Your sister-in-law-to-be is a FUCKING LOON. Tell your brother to grab his daughter and run for the hills!
 

DEAR ABBY: My husband, "Jason," and I have a 19-year-old daughter, "Laurie," who finished her freshman year of college with a 4.0 GPA. She has always been a great student and is interested in theater, music and dance. She has never given us any trouble.
 
My husband is very conservative and opinionated about politics. Our daughter has become much more politically liberal over the last couple of years. Jason thinks it is disrespectful of her to not want to listen to him try to influence her to think like he does (he has tried before). I have told Jason she needs to work out her own political beliefs and, as she matures and sees how the business world works, she'll probably become more moderate.
 
Jason is now insisting that we set a time when "the three of us can talk," which means he will lecture her about where she is wrong. What can I do as a mother and wife to mediate this meeting? I think both of them are pretty dug in. -- LOVE THEM BOTH IN ARKANSAS
 
DEAR LOVE: I see no way that what your husband has in mind will be either pleasant or productive. However, because he is her father, Laurie owes him the respect of hearing him out. When the conversation becomes heated -- as it very well may -- suggest a timeout until they both cool down. Or leave the room if it becomes too stressful for you.
 
DEAR LOVE: Your husband is a FUCKING LOON. Grab your daughter and run for the hills!

Regarding the wedding - see what happened when straights were allowed to marry! ;-)))

I found that there's a foolproof formula for creating a music group I'll love: equal numbers of men & women, one of the women is blonde, the women do the majority of the singing, & they're from Sweden. ABBA, Roxette, & Ace Of Base all fit the formula, & (coincidentally?) are the only 3 Swedish groups to achieve significant international success.

In addition, they’d recorded a song for their 8th album that never made the cut. I always thought it was decent, but now that I found a youtube video with the lyrics, I’m a little more impressed… Frida’s the harder to understand of the two women, & I never knew the lyrics fully until now:
 
SHOULD I LAUGH OR CRY:
 

 

I keep playing I AM THE CITY. IT’S GROWING ON ME. IT HAD A DIFFERENT SOUND MUSICALLY & VOCALLY THAN THEIR OTHER STUFF, SO IT INTERESTS ME, EVEN IF I DON’T THINK IT’S A GREAT SONG.
 

When ABBA stopped recording, they were in the midst of what would’ve been their 9th studio album. It was left unfinished, though two songs were released as singles (and two others as the “B” sides). They recorded 2 other songs… one appeared on a compilation album 11 years later [i Am The City], and one has never been released in full [Just Like That], though tapes of it were stolen from Bjorn’s car & are online.
 
I liked 3 songs (including possibly my favorite ABBA song, The Day Before You Came, the last song they ever recorded) and thought I disliked the other three, based on a first (or second) listen.
 
Well, I’ve been on an ABBA kick for months, so I decided to give the three another listen. I still don’t like two, but seriously misjudged the other. It’s a silly little trifle, but incredibly addictive (it’s been in my head for days).
 
YOU OWE ME ONE:
 

THE DAY BEFORE YOU CAME: (Agnetha looks beautiful in the video.)

 
I also like CASSANDRA (B-side of The Day Before You Came):

 
UNDER ATTACK was their last single (YOU OWE ME ONE was the “B” side. Should’ve flipped them):

 
Those 4 of 6 songs would’ve formed the beginnings of a fairly good album, though not their best. Given their reticence in releasing the 2 other songs they recorded, who knows if they’d have even made the final cut.
 
I say there was also an unofficial 7th song… on Frida’s 2nd solo album, she had a song I like that Bjorn & Benny wrote:
 
SLOWLY (you can hear the similarity in style to CHESS):

How will anyone know if/when that happens?

My pet rock is very anti-social. He just sits there all day, seemingly not needing human contact.
 
I leave him alone on his special day. I have the sense it's what he wants.
