Thanks for reminding me that I need to go to the butcher shop today.

Thanks for reminding me that I need to go to the butcher shop today.

Yeah I got a busy one too.

Need to go give my Uncle Toms their morning whipping and crust of moldy bread, so I can get enough work out of them during their 36 hour shift. Also need to visit my hubby's new litter of brats spawned by our new house maid.

Then off to poise for my new gallery of statues all devoted to me.

Busy day

[Salamander]

I got exhausted just reading about it.

[Salamander]

I think Kansas is the perfect place for him.

[his red legs won’t stand out so much]

[mstar]

I got exhausted just reading about it.

Me too.

I just don't how I will manage the accounts for this farm, plus see that the household has enough food in the pantry and that it is prepard to feed some 100 plus mouths. Then all that spinning and sewing to see they are clothed. We have a number sick that I will need to help nurse, plus two new babies and one on the way.

It's been esp hard since my the birth of my 8th child, and now carrying another, due next month.

I am just so pampered.

[cowboyway]

And his intellect matches the terrain.

Sic Semper Tyrannis!

[arrogantsob]

Come on don’t be so skeptical. You can always get the truth from these clowns, just stand what they say on its head.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

A brave man, that John Wilkes Booth. I bet he had the knife in case he had to protect himself from Mrs.lincoln.

“I am just so pampered.”

If you’d stop laying around eating bon bons and reading romance novels, you’d have more time.

Truly, has anything good ever come from Illinois?

"Head for the deep mountains of WV. You’ll be welcomed."

Thank you. A tip of my cap to you;

[Non-Sequitur]

Truly, has anything good ever come from Illinois?

Ronald Reagan.

[Salamander]

Well, there’s the 1%.

[Non-Sequitur]

Charelton Heston. Who went to the same high school as I did and who, according to school legend, was suspended for riding a motorcycle through the halls and into the swimming pool. This is generally considered his first attempt at parting a large body of water.

[Salamander]

Is that original and do you own it?

All I have is a near-mint US cavalry bit with high port and copper cricket.

[it was bricked up in the wall of a relative’s antebellum house. legend has it the ‘former owner’ is somewhere on the property, too]

[Salamander]

‘Who went to the same high school as I did and who”

Then what went wrong with *you*?

[jessduntno]

“Is that original and do you own it?”

God no, wish I did ... JEB Stuart’s hat ... museum in Richmond.

“All I have is a near-mint US cavalry bit with high port and copper cricket.”

That’s gotta be hard to come by near mint ... wasn’t all cracked and torn up?

[mstar]

[and turn down the freaking AC...that costs money, you know]

Who needs air conditioning when I have all my man servants to fan me with peacock feathers. Oh dear, I wonder if this baby will be a "high yellow", like the last. /s

[Non-Sequitur]

Then what went wrong with *you*?

Nothing. If memory serves Charlton Heston was a Yankee, too. He played mostly Yankee officers in movies.
