Cops: Accused Prostitute Offered Undercover Officer Sex For Cheeseburgers Off McDonald's Dollar Menu
The woman, the detective reported, replied that the pair “could go have sexual intercourse if I bought her two double cheese burgers off the dollar menu at McDonald’s.” The cop added, “I agreed to the deal and purchased the hamburgers for $2.75.”

Something that very few people understand is that the way the Creator works is not supposed to be just something to be admired, but also something to be emulated.
In a painting, the composition is what matters, not the minor details. On a printed page, the white space can be nearly as informative as any of the words.
The Creator works from more than one perspective, from seeing clouds, and life, and love, from both sides, or even more than that.
As everyone should.
As poets teach.
Can you explain composition with respect to a painting?
A proper painting does not have a single subject. It has a number of inter-related subjects that compare and contrast with each other. It is like a musical piece, with low and high moments whose contrasts help to highlight their differences.
One studies a painting to see how central items may relate to things in the background. To try to determine what story is being told.
There are also matters of balance and lighting that are more matters of style than of substance. No painter will ever tell only a single fact with a painting. Since it is worth at least a thousand words, you really ought to get your money’s worth.
Consider DaVinci’s Mona Lisa. The background is a wild and rugged terrain. What is that telling you about the serene and composed expression on the Lady’s face?
That tells me that I should continue to appreciate The Creator’s work! Sorry that some of us don’t measure up in terms of comprehension or execution. However, being in harmony with the universe can’t be underestimated. Fortunately, we appreciate!
Thank you for elucidating. Will attend.
Jake wiped out the rabbits from our yard very early in the spring, and our location discourages more from arriving.
Lake Park, where I take the kids to swim, has swarms of rabbits. Maybe the canine predators got so many geese and ducklings that they can’t be bothered with rabbits.
Talk to my dad. I have chased his paintings all over the West, trying to compile a photographic collection. When I get ambitious, I will scan the photos I have and post some on photobucket.
May Darksheare continue to be on the side of Truth, Justice, and the American way. While the ranks of those who have left and have gone to the dark-side (thinking green lantern) a new Hero has emerged to stand beside the Heros for the important things Americans hold to and honor. Thy name is Darksheare and Darksheare was always there. Would be scared green lantern. I was as Darksheare made that entrance.
My compliments Master Darksheare.
What are the assigned duties, this day, for me? Please, Master if asking for food, the pantry (at this time) appears empty. Will search for food, as soon as can make certain Elvis is not out there in the bushes. Searching for Elvis. Must end the reign of this monster Elvis. Just read Elvis is dead. That explains a whole heap of things. Just last night heard cries and howls as if from deep with the bowels of earth the monster Elvis was emerging. Cannot and will not ask for help as I pursue Dlvis (my new name for him) and do what must be done to right the space time continuum line and put all which has experience the time warp right again. It is going to be a long day, me thinks.
We’ve had longer days, hovering above the South Pacific, gleaning U-Know-What from ocean waters...
A song to honor your compliment to the Iroquois ... Mother Earth ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pudIhJLZhoA ... May your day be filled with abundance in blessings for you and yours.
Thank you! That was beautiful. I will check Amazon for her music. My Native American ancestors are the Plains Indians, giving me just barely enough to legally claim them. I honor them.
Anoreth was writing a fan-fiction about Darksheare at one point. I think he was a werewolf, although I do not recall whether his hair was perfect.
Got any 3’s?
One 3 is enough, and mine is Frank!
Epic Fail Lawn Service needs line for the weed-eater. I guess he’ll have to finish the job first thing tomorrow morning, since it will be too hot by the time we get home from the store. We have a babysitting job this afternoon: Abigail, one year old, whose mother is going to the hairdresser.
LOL!
It takes two days to mow the lawns here, but the good news is, they will soon begin to replace some of the lawn with desert landscaping...the water authority is robbing people right and left, and I’m waiting for a full-scale investigation.
No one can afford grass or pools, except the very rich.
Music break...
Abney Park - Death of a Hero

“You fool, I’m not trying to kill you! I’m trying to save you!”
There was a white knight riding on his steed,
Waiting for a noble deed.
Inside, a lady in distress
With blackened eyes and blood down her dress.
A villain with wicked plans
Doing wicked things with those wicked hands.
Look down, stopping dead in the road
“Mind your own” was what he was told.
And there were peasants, being murdered and raped
By an evil man in a big black cape.
An evil army with evil plans
Doing evil deeds in faraway lands.
Then stood up for the whole kingdom
Said, I’ll need some help to get this done
Getting bare back, look of disconcern
That would cost most of what we earn?.
Death of all flags,
This is the death of a man.
This is the death of humanity,
The birth of tragedy.
Things are wrong,
He’s long gone.
This is the death of humanity,
The birth of tragedy.

The “lawns in the desert” thing never made a lot of sense. If we didn’t get enough rainfall to keep up the grass more-or-less, we’d have desert landscaping, too.
Of course, government buildings will still have lawns, and they’ll water them even when the little people can’t flush their toilets ... and we can sneak out and shower in the sprinklers!
Pat said that was a good song. I say those young ladies could not belly dance.
The lawns and golf courses were all here (in most areas) before the CAP began taking water out of Lake Mead and other parts of the Colorado River.
Now of course, there is incentive for desert landscaping...the water company charges by the size of the meter before ever calculating water usage.
