Fading fast. 16 lb. Crowbar pages me circa 0600 for morning constitutional.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, y’all!
Good morning, y’all! Crowbar needed AM constitutional a little early today.
Have a great day!
The lack of a proper AM constitutional is perhaps the best explanation for people’s typical attitudes.
Jake still trying to control hoomins today?
Another gloomy day, with cold and wind. *sigh* I’m SO ready for 105+ temps!!!
Even The Stig resents the weather. He doesn’t want to sing to me.
I may have to curl up with a throw in order to get warm.

I’m at work trying NOT to get sucked into reading the works of Sir Isaac Newton.

The National Library of Israel has digitized his theological manuscripts, and made them available, here:

I’m sure, if you weren’t allergic to cat and dog dander, you would most likely have one or two of each. I wasn’t referring to folks with health problems; just the folks who actively don’t like cats.
I apologize if I gave you the impression of putting those who have health problems into the category of having something to hide! LOL!
*HUG*

‘Face, you are right - I would have one or two or three of each. Heather keeps bugging me to get a hypoallergenic dog like a bollonoodle. When we have a “secure” yard and I am not on the road so much I might consider it. Vet bills aren’t in the budget these days. :(
Howdy! Been sorta sleeping in these days. These icanhasacheezeburger kiteh pic’s are just FUNNY, this one is as well!!
No snow for a few weeks now.....:)!
I hope all is well with the dead thread folks!
When Insults Had Class
These glorious insults are from an era before the English language was boiled down to 4-letter words.
The exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor:
She said, “If you were my husband I’d give you poison.”
He said, “If you were my wife, I’d drink it.”
A member of Parliament to Disraeli: “Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease.”
“That depends, Sir,” said Disraeli, “whether I embrace your policies or your mistress.”
“He had delusions of adequacy.” - Walter Kerr
“He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.” - Winston Churchill
“I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure.” - Clarence Darrow
“He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to the dictionary.” - William Faulkner (about Ernest Hemingway).
“Thank you for sending me a copy of your book; I’ll waste no time reading it.” - Moses Hadas
“I didn’t attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying I approved of it.” - Mark Twain
“He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends..” - Oscar Wilde
“I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a friend.... if you have one.” - George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill
“Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second.... if there is one.” - Winston Churchill, in response.
“I feel so miserable without you; it’s almost like having you here.” - Stephen Bishop
“He is a self-made man and worships his creator.” - John Bright
“I’ve just learned about his illness. Let’s hope it’s nothing trivial.” - Irvin S. Cobb
“He is not only dull himself; he is the cause of dullness in others.” - Samuel Johnson
“He is simply a shiver looking for a spine to run up.” - Paul Keating
“In order to avoid being called a flirt, she always yielded easily.” - Charles, Count Talleyrand
“He loves nature in spite of what it did to him.” - Forrest Tucker
“Why do you sit there looking like an envelope without any address on it?” - Mark Twain
“His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork.” - Mae West
“Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go..” - Oscar Wilde
“He uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts... for support rather than illumination.” - Andrew Lang (1844-1912)
“He has Van Gogh’s ear for music.” - Billy Wilder
“I’ve had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn’t it.” - Groucho Marx
I recently read a book review by Lord Acton, of “History of Liberty” fame, in which he described the author’s account of ... the reign of William III, or whatever it was ... as “well-researched and consecutive.”
There are so many books ... it’s the one thing that makes me agree with Dead Corpse about the desirability of a longer life than the reasonably expected 80-ish.
Jake’s goal today is getting people to go to bed so he can nap with them. It’s been raining.
Granted, a goodly number of them are probably unworthy of perusal... But until you make the attempt, how do you know for sure?
