He’s wearing eye protection while using that thing, I hope.
Now I sound like Cook.
8<) Nah - I was wondering what kind glue he used for the PVC stand.... And what Dremel tip he was using for the wood carving. Tends to burn if you’re not careful. 8<)
Don’t know. Now I have to find out.
Broken/blocked link...
I was expecting .... a pic of anthony weiner in his famous pose....a selfie in front of the mirror. LOL
....in comparison, my flights were quite uneventful.
It has been storming so off and on since 7-I just got Hughesnet back a little while ago-there is a flood watch, which means the short way to the FM-over two low water creek crossings-is probably too full of water too be safe in anything less than an 18 wheeler-good thing I don’t have to be anywhere...
If Hillary suddenly decided
To tell only whatever is true
Her being frank will give pause
To us and the driveby media too
They wouldn’t have even a clue
About how to spin what is real-
They’re too used to catering to
How they think people must feel
Never mind that she will never
Answer with honesty and grace-
She once told the secret service
Not to dare look into her face...
Oops-”to” be safe-not “too” or “two”.
I cannot believe she is even in the running for President. What is wrong with this world? A+++
It keeps raining on and off here. A cold front moved in and it’s cold out there. I hope there is no more snow.
Thank you! I think she honestly believes that Bill can buy/steal/blackmail well enough to get her the nomination this time-I’m sure he promised it to her when he was pres to keep her quiet and married to him.
I saw an article about university students who think classic mythology is too stressful-seriously? I seem to remember that the study of mythology was done in HS honors English-that is where I first read it, and don’t remember anyone being stressed at all-most of us enjoyed it, because it was kind of naughty with the sex and all. What is the matter with the little cupcakes in college now?
Bunch of pansies.
It’s still in the 40s here. We had had 5 days or so of high 80s. Now this.
No snow though.
No kidding-they weren’t comfortable because there are episodes of rape in the classics-oh, dear-I always thought it was ridiculous that Zeus supposedly had sex with these unwilling women as a shower of gold, a swan, etc-it never occurred to anyone I knew that showers of gold or swans ran around committing rape. What company is even going to give these infants a second interview for the short list, never mind an job offer?
I am stubbornly still in flip flops.
