Roll Call.
I was told by my drill sergeant many years ago NOT to ever sing “his national anthem ever again!”
Apparently I sang-fraid’ed him by being so far out-of-tune, out-of-time, and out-of-range.
Then again, Sister Bernadette never let me sing in elementary either .....
You will appreciate this. Late last night my daughter called to tell us that they gave notice at their jobs and should be HERE by December 1st to move in with us. They ARE moving back! I couldn’t sleep last night, ended up sleeping in today. Woke up without a thought to class, just remembered to post it. I am stunned. They will be here for Christmas! I cannot wait.
They have a down payment for a house, but need jobs here to get a loan, so they will be with us for awhile. Wow.
When Ted Cruz displayed his sang-froid
The liberals could only say, “Wha?”
He was speaking the truth
Said the mods were uncouth
Teddy has that real je ne sais quoi
I moved the furniture around in my office to give it more sang-froid.
I saw the clip of that. He’s got cajones. A++++
No singing in class here then, either! A+++
All those pluses means you’re missing body parts from laughing them off.... thanks.

Oh, it happened in Vienna, not so very long ago,
When not too many folks were getting sick
That a starving young physician tried to better his position
By discovering what made his patients tick.
Oh, Dr. Froid, oh, Dr. Froid
How I wish that you’d been otherwise employed,
For the set of circumstances sure enhances the finances
Of the followers of Dr. Sigmund Froid
He forgot about sclerosis, but invented the psychosis
And a hundred ways that sex could be enjoyed.
He adopted as his credo, “Down repression, up libido,”
And that was the start of Dr. Sigmund Froid
Now he analyzed the dreams of the teens and libertines
And he substituted monologues for pills,
He drew crowds just like Wells Sadler, when along came Jung and Adler
Who said, “By God, there’s gold in them thar ills.”
They encountered no resistance when they served as Froid’s assistants
As with Ego and with Id, they deftly toyed.
And instead of toting bedpans, they bore analytic deadpans
Those ambitious doctors, Adler, Jung, and Froid
Now the big three have departed, not so the cult they started -
It’s been carried on by many a goodly band,
And to trauma, shock, and more shock, someone went and added Rorshach
Now the thing has got completely out of hand.
Now old men with double chinseys and a million would be Kinseys
Will discuss it at the drop of a repression;
I wouldn’t be complaining, but for all the dough I’m paying
To lie on someone’s couch and say confession.
Oh, Dr. Froid, oh, Dr. Froid
How I wish that you’d been otherwise employed,
For the set of circumstances sure enhances the finances
Of the followers of Dr. Sigmund Froid.
Carly displayed sang-froid in last night’s debate. In fact all of the candidates looked good, but Rubio and Cruz really shone.
Congratulations. I coud never get any of mine to come back after they flew the nest.
Moving away from California?
Yep, and her husband was born and raised there. They will spend Thanksgiving with his family, then start for home. They are only bringing a couple of pieces of furniture and their personal stuff and wedding gifts. The rest they will sell off. They want to open a business back here. This is just the first step in their plan.
I didn’t believe they would until last night when they announced it.
I skipped it, glad to hear they did well. From what Cruz said the moderators were out to get them. A++
LOL A+++
Well, good for you. I hope their plan works out.
I am happy, but worried. New businesses are hard to get going. It’s my daughter’s dream, though.
