Very impressive, Dolly, but I think I saw it first in the 1958 sci-fi horror film The Fly.




You'll be frightened to death to learn that it can carry
four 100 pound children or two 200 pound adults ...






... just when you thought it was safe to shower again.




Rub-a-dub-dub. A vulnerable young woman and a fly in the tub.




Then there was you.




"Stop. That tickles."




"Where's Obama when you need him?"




Return of the Fly, starring Bill Clinton, another horror classic

I pray that justice is done in your case. Those sweet doggies
just CAN’T be taken away or put down. I can’t believe that
they’d do what that lying woman said they did!

Graphic by Billie

American Castles

Westward where the land is rent
Beneath the azure desert skies
Stand lonely jagged monuments
Like mystic castles to the eyes

They're first to greet the morning sun
And last to see the distant stars
They know how the west was won
It's written in their ancient scars

From native fire in the night
To covered wagon caravan
They watched a nation come to light
God's timeless castles in the sand.

Okay!!!

I guess that turnabout is fair play??
The above Welcome Graphic is by MamaBear.

I knew this ..... all my notes said it was by MamaBear, but ......
my fingers insisted it was by Billie.

Billie and Lori ...... I'm sorry.

[OESY]

Who is that ... Humpty Dumpty? I heard he had a great fall, but that's no excuse:
He's got to pick himself up, dust himself off, say 'I hurt my foo-foo' and get back to work.


Torn Between Death and Desire ...


this woman had a crush on him.


(Yes, it looks like we're back to feet again.)

[JustAmy]

corned beef hash is pretty popular here. but even when i ate meat I dont think I had it. I used to love corned beef sandwiches with lots of melted swiss cheese.

Now I have the lots of melted swiss cheese with thinly sliced sweet onions & tomatoes.. grilled.

[yorkie]

Yes, we have corned beef hash, snugs. Several packers can it, and it can be readily found on the shelves in the market.

I also like to ‘poach’ the eggs on top, after I have browned it a little. Just make wells in the hash, crack open an egg in each well, cover, and let it poach - about three minutes. Serve with ketchup. Yummmmmm.

One of the American Castles...
...in Sedona, AZ...
...one I call "The Keep"
...cuz I don't know the real name!

[OESY]

Never keep a Giantess (who wants to go shopping) waiting ...


and you thought the sales at Macy's were bad.)

Praying, Dolly, for your Mom and your Doggie Trial.

[yorkie]

Not sure which rock that is, Luv, but here is a REAL "Castle" very near Sedona: Montezuma Castle

Montezuma Castle

[yorkie]

Rockin' monkey feet - missing toe?

[luvie]

We could see it on the main drive through Sedona. Ms B and
I liked it and named it! ;D

Wow! How did we miss the real castle. That does it! Now I
gotta come back!

[yorkie]

I KNOW! You gotta come back! There is at least a week's worth of sightseeing beauty, here! (Plus Yorkie's Kitchen) :-)

[yorkie]

Luv, here's another beauty the 'TARDS missed:

Cathedral Rock, Sedona, AZ

[luvie]

Especially Yorkie's Kitchen! LOL!

I am pretty sure we will, but just not sure when. It's all up
to the TARD leader! LOL! I hope not too far in the future!

[luvie]

Awesome. We might have seen it and I just don’t remember it.

There are so many beautiful places around there!

Tequila day? Great, I’ll celebrate by putting tequila in my coffee this morning! :)

Why don’t they have a “clean up your yard” day? My neighbors need to celebrate that one. :)
