@Pearl So she's professional, then, while the older man is amateur. Interesting...I wonder how usual / unusual is that combination? I looked up just now and Oti Mabute seems to be quite well known.

@FollowHim You know the expression: "You don't have to be crazy to work here; but it helps..." Historians speak of "politicians bribing the voters with their own money"....it's illusory...

@Heart2Soul So what about those of us who don't actually live in the US? :)

@Pearl So, who won, in the end? And what was the routine they used on the floor called?

@amadeus How legalistic can some churches get, trying to compel ppl to have a Christmas tree! o_O
