A Plain Old Kiss
Some people need a peck or two;
For others a simple smooch will do;
Too many, a graze will stimulate;
A few may want to osculate.
And then, there are those who need a smack,
For flowery words they have a knack.
But all I want from you is bliss,
Which you can give me with a plain, old kiss!
- Arr. Ara John Movsesian

Etymology [Latin scul r , scul t-, from sculum, kiss, diminutive of s, mouth. See s- in Indo-European Roots.]

Nice to meet you........ I like to know where people live...... being from Texas I have a real interest (it's a safetly issue) in weather......I sort of group people by their location in the country and what their weather is doing! lol......I'm know, that sounds weird....lol

Award winning work huh? That is great...... would you have done anything I might have seen?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Sitting on the fence gets a bad rap......ya gotta sit SOMEWHERE! lol.......

School was never so much fun! And the short bus is just right for us!

Dagnabbit, I am having a serious blonde moment... Spanish Inquisition...

MONTY PYTHON! There finally, it popped into my little brain.

I have a little teeny wireless weather station so your weather thingy is probably just like my weather thingy.

Some of my clients are still advertising on national media but it was a long time ago, over 20 years. It was a very exciting career and I'm proud of the awards. I actually made history with a couple innovations but can't reveal them for business reasons.

[RikaStrom]

Well, an open secret anyway. lol

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

How wonderful that you have a career you are proud of!

[Lady Jag]

Not the comfy chair!

[RikaStrom]

ROFLOL, I have spent the last two hours trying to think of Monty Pyton.... National Lampoon kept intruding!

[Lady Jag]

How wonderful that you have a career you are proud of!

Ummm, does that mean you, uh, do you have something to tell me?

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

No not at all....it was a sincere compliment

[international american]

Troll booth.....ROTFLMAO

[Lady Jag]

ROFLOL, I have spent the last two hours trying to think of Monty Pyton.... National Lampoon kept intruding!

You must have had a hilarious two hours!

If Monty Python crossed with National Lampoon you'd have:

National Monty
and
Monty Pythoon.

I like the sound of one and would love to see the other.

[Lady Jag]

No, not that. I took it as a sincere compliment.

I couldn't think of a funny way to say that by what you wrote, you intimated you had a career you weren't proud of. And I still can't think of a way so it still sounds stupid. But, you know, a comic has to keep trying and God knows I am.

[international american]

Monty Python....remember the Miistry of Silly Walks??

Better than having a Visa Card....
Priceless!!!
Best, IA

[international american]

OOPS! "Ministry" Sorry, had a beer!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Oh - I'm sorry - I didn't pick up on what you were saying......lol........ I'm a Mom and I am currently homeschooling my son....... not sure I'd call that a career......lol
