I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

"Stuck on Stupid" on CSI: Miami

Earlier I was watching CSI: Miami, the episode entitled "48 Hours to Life."

I was surprised to hear a certain phrase that has become popular lately.

One of the characters, Det. Frank Tripp, asked a murder suspect, "Are you stuck on stupid? Just do it."

Of course, the phrase started when the fabulous General Honore told some reporters "Don't get stuck on stupid" during a press conference about Hurricane Rita. You can read about it here.

The phrase spawned the Stuck on Stupid Blog, which you can find here.
