A good wife would understand your mail need to still have fun with living when you get a chance.

My personal observations and experiences have indicated that a sense of humor does seem to lean substantially more heavily towards with gender than the other, exchanged for an ability to conduct and enjoy gossip by the other.

Disclaimer:
In order not to offend, I did not specify which gender is which in the above blanket statement.

The Mayor rearranged atoms inside his dairy-free cheeseburger. (11)

The Mayor = definition
rearranged atoms = 'omast'
inside = (insertion indicator)
his dairy-free cheeseburger = 'burger'

what?? burgermaster???!!! that sounds so Americanised. It sounds like like a good cook at MacDonalds.

I know my German is pretty poor, but I thought it was burgermeister was the proper pronunciation/spelling.

Um ... no: Bürgermeister would be the German version - the umlaut changes the sound of the letter.

I was expecting a hole in the ground. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat

I'm gonna be "that guy":

Christopher Tolkien has more money than his father ever had. His estate got a fortune from the movies alone.

I don't see why he needs my money to "save" a house that's bigger than anything I would ever be able to afford in my lifetime.

Seeing that he died last January (I just looked it up), I'd say no.

But if his estate isn't involved (he's still got grandchildren)...and they're not...then you have to ask yourself why. $omeone is $melling an opportunity.

I was going to be "that guy", but you beat me to it Smile | :)

Next to Tolkien's family, who's always been very protective of his work, if I'm not mistaken, the actors alone could buy the estate ten times over and not even miss the money.

I also really don't understand why they're asking for our money Unsure | :~

Meh, the works of Tolkien are both limited and literarily poor. 99% of positive sentiment toward his work is really just nostalgia for the movies of Peter Jackson.

Being one of those who has read the three books in the trilogy, plus The Hobbit, I thought they were much better than the film.
Although it's a long ponderous read, but yes I would not class it as literature like the works of say Dickens, Elliot or a more modern writers like Kazuo Ishiguro.

Although I thought that two of Kazuo Ishiguro's books that were made into films were fairly well accomplished.
