I guess some cheeses get sharper in taste with aging. Cheddar cheese for instance is sold here as mild, sharp or extra sharp. You might have to google for sharp cheese.

I found this:

Cheddar was first developed by cheese makers in the Cheddar Gorge in England. Later, colonists produced Cheddar in the New World. Cheddar still ranks as the most popular cheese in the world. Sharp Cheddar is aged at least one year before packing.

I read somewhere that eating a few slices of sharp cheese before you go to bed makes your dreams more vivid or colorful. I was hoping that you might eat some sharp goat cheese to give you the flying dreams.

In the US most TV programs are supported by advertisements commonly called ads. If you don't want to fork over hard earned money for paid TV, you simply learn to live with those ads. At times they are better then the program anyway.

Later in the Chistmas season, after most electronic gadgets had been sold out in stores, I noticed the huge amount of ads for stinky perfumes this year. Am I missing the news about an impending water shortage, when folks have to cover up body odors with these silly fragrances?

Now with the New Year resolutions soon in effect, the TV ads have switched to the usual exercise contraptions that might help you replace brain matter with muscle matter.

The ads I am looking for are the beer ads, heating up for the much hyped Super Bowl football game. Many of them are down right funny.

What do you think of TV ads? Do you have them in your country?

Watched the DVD with friends. Cooked the cod fish with lemon peels and some lemon juice, it and the movie went over very well. We ate it with potato wedges as a side dish.

Strange dream last night. One of my professors, a rather rotund man, called all the students into his office to show us his exercise routine. He would lift one leg straight up in front of him and then jump up, so he would seem to float about a foot above the ground. He asked us all to copy his efforts.

I woke up will all my covers on the floor next to the bed.

Democrats have destroyed the economy with their health care program to the point where the only jobs are illegal underground ones. You can't work unless you hide from government.

That sounds like a nightmare. Looks like the only jobs left would then be with the government healthcare office. To pay for the jobs we would borrow money from the Chinese.

Thanks heavens, I have never dreamed about the economy or politics. However, I have had dreams about overflowing toilets.

The first function can be cleaned up to:

def numWords(aString):
    return len(aString.split())

# test it
print numWords("Merry Christmas to everyone")  # 4

You can do more cleanup here:

choice = raw_input("Would you like to save the file?(y/n): ")

if choice in ['y', 'ye', 'yes']:
    print 'yes'  # test

# or even better
if 'y' in choice.lower():
    print 'yes'  # test

Your line 'def save' is of course an incomplete function statement.
