Enigma (forward) is something that you can't imagine.

Enigma (backward) is amgine, which is of course IMAGEN -- Something that you CAN imagine!!


I find meaning in Conspiracy Guy's words when even he has lost it.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Coincidence?

[NicknamedBob]

"Coincidence?"


More like looking at abstract art, and "seeing" statements of social significance.

Otherwise known as talking through my hat.

[OESY]

Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Thanks. I enjoyed it. Did some work. Got some sun. Took some pix.

Amgine is obvious but it took "he who talks through hat" to catch it. Sure it's not a word, it's a concept. You are very good at understanding me because you are Esoteric as well.

[OESY]

The dog also did some things. Got some sun. Cleaned up for dinner.

Is it cold?

That photo was taken at Chimney Rock, North Carolina. The handsome man is jkphoto, the pretty blonde is Mama_Bear and the one in sunglasses is scubachick.

[MeekOneGOP]

Sure ! You have a great evening too.

[Terabitten]

Hey y'all. I got back safe from the parents', although they 'bout worked me to death. Other than that, life is good!

[Mama_Bear]

WELCOME BACK! How was your trip? What did you do?

Thanks, it's good to be back.

We had a great time, although it wasn't exactly a restful vacation. We tried to cram too much into 11 days, but we didn't want to miss anything. Toured the monuments in DC...the WWII, the Vietnam Wall and the Korean War Memorial were just beautiful and such an emotional experience! Also, our Congressman's intern give us a tour of the Capitol building. I have toured it many times as a kid growing up in DC, but it was like seeing it for the first time.

Then we went over to Manassas to see the Civil War battlefield there, then up to Skyline Drive and went to the Luray Caverns, then over to Colonial Williamsburg. That took up the first five days of our trip. After that we drove down to Charleston and spent a couple days there....what an interesting place to visit! I love the history of that area...Fort Sumter was very interesting. Then we went up to Charlotte to visit my niece and nephew. She took us up to Chimney Rock and beautiful Asheville, and my husband got to drive a NASCAR at Lowe's Motor Speedway. That was the highlight of the trip for him. LOL.

(Who is who in that photo?)

I am in front. My husband, jkphoto, and my niece, scubachick, are behind me. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

I see you answered PAL just before I did. :-)

the pretty blonde is Mama_Bear

Awwwww.........you are sooooooooo good for my ego, scubachick. And jkphoto has been strutting around like the "big studmuffin" you keep calling him. I told you there would be no living with him if you kept it up. LOL!!

Enigma is actually a Lancome lipstick color.

[NicknamedBob]

And Amgine sounds like a stock that's traded on the AMEX.

Here's another derivation.

Am-gine, like the word en-gine, is an artifact of be-ing.

It is a device for living in the moment, and being a part of the now.
(And that comes straight from my hat!!)

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday President Bush,
I hope it is a good one.
I’m really glad that you’re in charge,
I’ll pray until the job’s done.
You are a man, who speaks his mind,
And firmly stands his ground.
I shudder when I think about,
Bill Clinton backing down.
John Kerry would be like Old Bill,
Imagine he’d just cower.
It seems that all, that he can do,
Is flip-flop and crave power.
John Edwards adds no Kerry hope,
He’s just another liar.
I know your team will stay on top,
I’ll add fuel to the fire.
John Kerry and John Edwards no!
Our Nation could not take it.
We need someone to fix what’s wrong,
Not more who want to break it.
You have my vote it’s in the bag,
Keep up the long hard fight.
Bush Cheney on November Two,
I’m voting for what’s right.

Pup ‘n Stuf

Marissa and her Louie/Max are best of friends, you know,
And puppy wags his tail which is a way to let it show.
Marissa smiles and laughs a lot, which Louie/Max just loves,
And when she pets him, he smiles too. She uses her “kid” gloves!!

She’s teaching him to shake his hand, he shows her how to drool,
He will be disappointed when Marissa goes to school.
They’re just like brother and sister, and play together well,
And every adventure that they share, Just Amy will have to tell.
