Table Topics from Today

This weekend we set the clocks ahead, a sure sign that spring is just around the corner. What is your favorite "Sign of Spring" or "Spring Thing"?

March is "Women's History Month". Share with us your favorite woman in history and why you admire her.

March 15th is the Ides of March, the day Julius Ceaser was betrayed by Brutus. "Et Tu Brute" - Tell us about a time you were "stabbed in the back" of felt "betrayed" by someone?

St Patrick's Day is almost upon us. Green beer and corned beef and cabbage. St Patrick is the patron St of Ireland. Many saints are patrons of a place or a cause. For example St Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals. If you ever attain sainthood, what would you be the patron of, and why?

On this day in 1876 The first successful voice transmission over Alexander Graham Bell's telephone took place in Boston as his assistant heard Bell say, "Mr. Watson, come here. I want you." - Tell us a favorite memory you have that involves the telephone - a conversation or a favorite type of phone device you've used....

Glad you found them and liked them. Maybe it will inspire me to post items like that more often.
