I had this in mind as a potential WFTD recently and found I too only thought of anemia when I saw it. I am gagging here since I inhaled a bug 1/2 mile into my run this morning. I’m just glad it wasn’t a bee.

We are now taught to believe that those who lie and steal from the public trust will never need worry about burnicious in what is, still today, h*ll.

[secret garden]

But innocent and being judged not guilty are not the same thing.

[secret garden]

Talk about a pernicious response to being told no. Overreact much?

[xsmommy]

anemia never occurred to me when selecting it! i thought of “regrettable” and used the thesaurus to extrapolate out from there.

[xsmommy]

[xsmommy]

It’s God’s job to sort out souls.
