        "No offense, but..." is one I've actually seen meant genuinely, when what you're saying might come off as more aggressive than you want it to be.

          That's not what I mean. You lot threw sexual morality out the window decades ago. And NOW you have the nerve to be outraged when people are sexually immoral. it's a joke.

            Yeah, I try to avoid those openers, and just gently get to the matter at hand.

                Headline writers have been having fun with Rose's name. Two headlines I've seen:

                CHARLIE ROSE, CHARLIE FELL

                and

                BLOOM IS OFF THE ROSE

                  I'm sorry. I thought I was right but I was wrong.

                            My youngest daughter, now about 40, has a big sign on her wall that says "I'm not bossy - I just happen to know what everybody else should be doing"
