Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Tomorrow I’m bringing in chains, so beware.

The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.

Good morning, Gabz!

[Slip18]

Ain't that the truth!

A++++ for you!

[Slip18]

ROTFLMAO! Thank you, SG!

[Slip18]

She certainly is.

A++++ for you, ti!

Yes, remains cold here. We do have sunshine today, that’s always encouraging.

Nan seeks power preservation.
Goes WAY off the reservation.
With Dems sinking fast,
She knows it won't last.
Perhaps she'll try dessiccation.

Most of the time I wish the Dems would just dry up.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

"And speaking of freeze-dried; has anyone besides me ever cleaned out the deep freeze and found unidentifiable dessicated lumps of packaged meat in the bottom?"

Cyber and I both have funny bones about packaging left over food and saucery. We freeze dry just about everything. The labeling is fun. We've thrown out more stuff because of that. One freeze dried sauce was the best Teriyaki sauce I had ever made, but we labeled it as "phlegm." We didn't know what it was, so we melted it and threw it away. We laughed. No more mislabeling.

A++++ for you, Cricket!

[Gabz]

Good morning Slip!

[Slip18]

I wonder if any seminal fluid was on her beret!

A++++ for you, Dave.

BTW, the word is "desiccate." Two c's, one s. I messed up a crossword puzzle yesterday with that word. LOL!

Senator Jacka$$ proves his head is full of desiccated dust where his brain used to be as he calls for closing Club Gitmo.

How anyone could even consider bringing those foreign fighters onto our soil id beyond me. One would have to be stupid or willfully destructive to suggest it.

[Slip18]

Buenas diaz to you, xs!

[Slip18]

Go outside and get some Vitamin K when it warms up. Don’t stay out too long or you’ll get sunburned! LOL!

If Desi Arnaz had married Kate Smith instead of Lucille Ball, we would not have had

but would have had

DesiKate.

At the Flyers games, Kate's famous "God Bless America" would have been followed by "Babalu."

[Slip18]

I think they are already dried up, Loney.

A++++ for you!

I was a little early this morning. Didn't know if I could figure out this computer and how to get the dictionaries. I found them after about 15 minutes. Sheesh.

I listen to Paul Harvey or Paul Harvey, Jr. in the morning at 5:57 my time. I'm addicted to his two-minute stories.

[Slip18]

As the second poster said, "Shut his mouth."

A++++ for you, Neo!

Hey, you spelled the WFTD correctly! Congratulations!

[Slip18]

It took me a few seconds there to figure that one out, Truthie. ROTFLMAO!

A++++ for you! Thank you!

Whenever I see those desiccant pouches, I always wonder
how many people REALLY try to eat them?

[Gabz]

You pinged just as I was about to go off line to take the girls to school, so I was able to jump in quick and then lave!!!!

I need to get some blackbeans a soaking for dinner tonight. A friend gifted me with her Easter ham bone, because she’s not a big fan of ham and hates all kinds of bean soups, especially those made with ham. I cooked a beef roast for Easter and so didn’t have a ham bone, and I’ve been craving balckbean soup for weeks.

The Real Poison of Political Correctness

To strike fear in the hearts of people
to DESICCATE free speech for some
while it's true words do hurt,
I've been on the receiving end of many
to shut the world's mouth is an error
to DESICCATE free thought and expression
is an enemy of our nation at it's worse.

I don't agree with what Don Imus said,
it's a cultural expression used by rap singers
if ya dig that stuff....it's okay I guess
for some, but not for others.

Flip Flop and I don't mean shoes.

Apologies, not worth a damn
a lively hood will go
we are all human and all will error
and be sure no forgiveness there.

This earth no Utopia,
a whipping up of rhetoric
the temperature to increase for sure
and constant yelling it's not fair!
Who the hell ever said it was?
We are born we get life,
we live it as best we can, improving as much as we can.
