Einstein was also a musician...he played the violin.

Maybe he got his ideas about Relativity from the geminate nature of the Aeolean and Ionian Modes.

(A minor point of major significance!)

Hill and Bill came to Washington
So Bill could have him a little fun.
Geminate lady parts he craved
He really was disgustingly depraved.
Now Hill wishes her turn at a similar run.

[Louis Foxwell]

Well that certainly puts matters in perspective. Gotta go with -

I got paid on the job we finished-it isn’t much but every dollar is precious now-and I’m home ahead of the rain that is on the way...

The situation in Iraq now
Is just another epic fail
And Obama’s incompetence
Should be reason for jail

His blunders will geminate
Historically with Viet Nam
Twice the ball was dropped-
It should have been the bomb

Only one thing is different
About the present situation-
Obama’s foolishness makes LBJ
Look able to lead the nation...

[Honorary Serb]

Thank you! Have a great weekend!!!!

[Louis Foxwell]

Now that is epochal. Masterful poetry, worthy of

The Feathered Pen award

Congrats on the payday.

I had a late lunch at the mall. The young man who seated me, either a host or manager, and the waiter both flattered the daylights out of me. He told me I was a glamorous beautiful woman and how old was I, 29? LOL He went on to say his mother always claimed to be 29 and that he never knew her age until her obituary. I told him with the day I was having, that he just made my day. We chatted awhile.

Ever since I got glammed up for the wedding with a tan, slimmed down some and started wearing more makeup I have been getting casual compliments galore. DH and I were out to dinner when our usual waitress looked at my husband and said you have a beautiful wife, you know that don’t you? When the young lady finished my makeup for the wedding my daughter stopped dead in her tracks and said “oh, Mom! You look beautiful”....my niece at the wedding exclaimed “Aunt____, you look beautiful!” Who knew that was all it was going to take? LOL I am enjoying it.
