Practice makes perfect.....post on....
i want to show off my new toy. hellinahandcart let me steal it from her, after she stole from someone else. isn't it ADORABLE????
I love how it looks like its middle fingers are extended when it goes postal.
i didn't even notice that but it made me roar all over again to see it now and notice!
Could this be a new PMS Alert pic?
They should read Scalia's dissent in Morrison.
Finally home and whirling like a dervish to get dinner started-
After hearing her ad nauseum
Shrilly damning everyone in sight
I've decided my first impression
Of queen Hillary was right
No matter how she reinvents herself
Or what direction she is leading
It would be incongruous to connect
That woman with good breeding
well during one of my TAMER moments.... ; )
how you can whip off an A+++ pome like that whilst whirling dervishlike to fix dinner i have no idea! i am doing a teriyaki chicken and rice dish with fresh green beans. and the king cakes for mardi gras are rising on the kitchen counter. and my BACK is killing me!
i would like them abolished. dems i mean. A+++
Ah, the challenge of an incongruous problem not treated promptly and removed: A lot like a criminal left to sit in the White House with her law firm papers securely hidden, an incongrewuous toenail will become infected and cause much more serious harm to the remaining limbs.
Good poemetry!
She's a former nurse now? Oh for Pete's sake...
The Roe effect is taking care of them, it's a slow process....
[Middle English discheveled, from Old French deschevele, past participle of descheveler, to disarrange the hair : des-, apart. See dis- + chevel, hair (from Latin capillus).]
There was at least one time when I felt quite separated from my hair; When I got my recruit haircut in basic training, I reached up to run my hands across my head -- and touched skin that I had never felt before!
Good job.
Jack,
I thought of you tonight as I attended a music rehearsal.
We are singing a piece by Benjamin Britten called "Rejoice in the Lamb." The lyrics were written by a man in an insane asylum in the 18th century and set to music after WW2. The theme is the worship of God, by all created beings and things. One part says:
For I will consider my cat Jeoffry.
For he is the servant of the living God.
Duly and daily serving him.
For at the first glance
Of the glory of God in the East
He worships in his way.
For this is done by wreathing his body
Seven times round with elegant quickness.
For he knows that God is his saviour.
For God has bless'd him
In the variety of his movements.
For there is nothing sweeter
Than his peace when at rest.
For I am possessed of a cat,
Surpassing in beauty,
From whom I take occasion
To bless Almighty God.
