76. If I ever commit a major crime, I want to go to the prison that Martha went to. It was a women's prison and pretty nice as far as women's prisons go. They had a paper making contest, I saw it on TV when Cybill Shepard played Martha. Martha's group won because she's an interior designer. I want to go somewhere like that. But I'll have to kill someone first. I don't want to go to prison for money laundrying or fraud. It's not worth it.

79. Just shows how life passes like a river and never know when it will hit a wall. Live life now and say your sorrows later.

My heart goes out to M. Stewart.

and for the rest of you if you don't have anything "nice" to say -- move on to someone else

83. I am so sorry about the loss of your mother. She was a doll and I was always glad when she was on your program. I know it will be hard, especially with the holidays coming but your family will be there with you. My dad is in a nursing home, 104 years young, and I know I will be very sad when he dies. He is still very alert also. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Charlotte K.
