Best flowers -- Dutch Flower Gardener in Cambridge, MA

Second best -- Winstons Flowers (Boston) or Mahoneys (Winchester). Winstons tends to be a bit artsier, Mahoneys more traditional.

If you're cheap -- The Daisy Shop -- they've been delivering quality carnations for years.

Dutch Flower Garden and Winston are both excellent.

Fringey, I thought you were going to hire a hot guy to paint your place, ask him if he wanted to take his shirt off and offer him a Diet Coke?

That is your fantasy version of my life. In my actual life, I painted solo.* And drank DDP, not Diet Coke.

*Really, it's better for control freaks not to have company for this kind of detail work.

I have a friend who met his future wife at a sports bar in Boston while he was attending BU (I think). He was watching a football game and she stood in front of him. He told her to move her ass because he was trying to watch the (insert football team name here). She said, "oh, I'm sorry. It's just that (football team) is my favorite team." He said, "really" (football team) is my favorite team." She said, "is this seat taken?" The rest is history.

Hoosiers to be saved from the stain of sexual interstate scandal.

• John Hostettler, the Congressman representing the 8th district of Indiana, has been convinced by local religious groups to introduce legislation in the House that would change the name of an Interstate 69 extension to a more moral sounding number.
  
  There are plans to extend the interstate from Indianapolis through southwestern Indiana all the way through Texas into Mexico in the coming years. While most believe this highway will be good for the state’s economy, religious conservatives believe “I-69” sounds too risqué and want to change the interstate’s number.
  
  Hostettler, a proponent of the interstate extension, agrees. “Every time I have been out in the public with an ‘I-69’ button on my lapel, teenagers point and snicker at it. I have had many ask me if they can have my button. I believe it is time to change the name of the highway. It is the moral thing to do.”
  
  ....
  
  “Naming the road I-63 not only follows numbering guidelines, it doesn’t have the sexual undertones that I-69 has,” says Hostettler, “It is a win-win situation.”

What's more, think of the public safety benefits! Studies have well-documented the dangers of cell-phone use while driving. Those dismayed by the earlier challenges in recruiting participants for this study can now be comforted by the fact that this problem will soon be moot.

What is it about this show that people like? I've never understood it. Don't say, "It's campy," because that doesn't really mean anything. Someone explain to me the phenomenon behind The Brady Bunch's continued popularity.

Funny he doesn't choose to call in his "I-69" pin.

I enjoy it because it provides sophisticated amusement by virtue of having an artificially (and vulgarly) mannered or banal or sentimental quality.

Thank you. Someone informed me on IM as well - I'm not sure who came first, but you will both receive reasonably-priced treats of your choosing the next time you are in NYC.

It's not popular is it? It's not in heavy rotation as reruns on TVLand (I don't think). Lots of older shows seem more popular- see Andy Griffith.

The Bradys only get press anymore when there is a new tell-all about how Peter got his first boner looking at Eve Plum or something. For awhile people liked the reunion shows but that was mainly to see who had fucked their lives up most, who was fat, who was bald. Now we know about them all even those have stopped

Don't worry, the DVDs won't sell.

I read PLF posts and cereal boxes for the same reasons.
