OUTSTANDING!

Take my word for it, the silliest woman can manage a clever man, but it needs a very clever woman to manage a fool.~Kipling

WHY ARE LIBERAL WOMEN MORE SKILLFUL LOVERS THAN CONSERVATIVE WOMEN?

Hmmm. Hard to answer that question... I think :
1. You haven't met the right Conservative women,
2. Your data sample is too small (no offense),
And, I can't think of anything else. But I think you're wrong. :-)

A woman sees a man she wants, the game has just begun,
She tells him he's the best on earth, the moon and rising sun,
He knows she's right, he buys the ring, this scheme will never fail,
The female of the species is more clever than the male.

Okay, you've got us figured out. Hmmm. Ladies, what next?????? :-)

Thank you, re #44, I started laughing as soon as I was scrolling down & saw the wreckage..... :)

Like I said before, this whole thread reminds me of my last trip to Walmart!

[Sabertooth]

The bards have written odes that tell of "woman's intuition,"
When all that really is is her excuse for her opinion--
But if you try and tell her that, you'd better run like hell,
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING in Canada..:)

You won't know how bad the bad ones are until you meet a really good one.

Hi, I love that one with the gas line coming out of the car, I saw it on the Art Bell website (yes, I'm a fan of Art Bell). :)
Thanks for posting the pictures.
Now I'd better get upstairs, I'm trying to get rid of the permanent circles under my eyes. Yes, sleep is important, even though we'd like to pretend it isn't. Bye! :)

So start running, I'll give ya a headstart by ONLY FIVE!

[Victoria Delsoul]

HE is dead that was alive.
How shall friendship understand?
Lavish heart and tireless hand
Bidden not to give or strive,
Eager brain and questing eye
Like a broken lens laid by.

He, with so much left to do,
Such a gallant race to run,
What concern had he with you,
Silent Keeper of things done?

Tell us not that, wise and young,
Elsewhere he lives out his plan.
Our speech was sweetest to his tongue,
And his great gift was to be man.

Long and long shall we remember,
In our breasts his grave be made.
It shall never be December
Where so warm a heart is laid,
But in our saddest selves a sweet voice sing,
Recalling him, and Spring.

RE the Happy Thanksgiving wishes: Thanks! Keeping my son home tomorrow from school, we'll make a turkey & watch the parade (hoping to see Hillary booed!)--a lot of kids at my son's school are kids of the Embassy in Ottawa, and I think they're staying home too.
A good friend of mine in Denver grew up in Detroit & had tons of family in Canada, she always celebrated both Thanksgivings, I think that's nice, too. :)
BTW, I sent everyone I knew a nice email wishing them a Happy Thanksgiving, with that internet picture of the Normal Rockwell painting, with Osama's head instead of the turkey on the platter.
Yes! Happy Thanksgiving! :)
