Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

i love ann's wit and sharptongued humor. she is nice looking, but the hullabaloo about her, to me, indicates that you can put a blonde wig on a broomstick and men would go wild over it. : )

[xsmommy]

KUDOS!!!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

This took 7 minutes but I was interrupted twice.

Cataracts

I’m glad you’re seeing better now,
But surgery seems silly.
I guess I’m just a simpleton,
A dummy, a hillbilly.
It seems to me if you can’t see,
The Cataract is nill.
I’d trade that gashogg in right now,
And get an Oldsmobile.

As evidenced by hobbes fascination with the hilton broomstick....... lol

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Ok - that one is the best ever!

[xsmommy]

exactly. men with blonde fixations.

[Constitution Day]

CD! You Da Man!

Why, yes! Yes. I. Am.

[xsmommy]

you still all puffed up today after the ann tryst? ; )

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

My Marine has never had a blonde fixation - he doesn't even like for me to highlight my hair....... I do it anyway, but he doesn't encourage it......lol

[Constitution Day]

I bet she was asking CD about me....

Harrumph, hardly. ;)
She did say she loved FR and that she would look for my posts, though. Heh.

[Laura Earl]

I am all atwitter!

[xsmommy]

i gave xshub the choice about whether to color my hair to its natural brown or just highlight the crap out of it and make it much blonder. he chose the brown. he has always dated brunettes.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Where and how did you meet her CD?

[VRWCmember]

Texasgirl, how many times do dubs and I have to remind you all -- we love Ann for her beautiful mind and certainly not for those amazingly luscious long legs of hers.

[Constitution Day]

CD is MUCH better looking than ann. and i have met CD in the flesh too : )

*blush* You are far too kind, XS! :)

[xsmommy]

ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! as the little 9 yo boy told xsbrownie at school yesterday, i think she likes you as more than a friend!!! ; )

[Conspiracy Guy]

Like the Hitlery twins. Mrs Bill Clinton's head and Azz are identical twins. Huge and lumpy.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Ok - I'll concede on that one.....I love Tom Selleck's luscious long legs too.........

[Conspiracy Guy]

You like it?

[Laura Earl]

He's a cutie!
