| Believe me, she's a bargain, great with bulls and bullshit and not bad looking either! Worth every penny I'm asking! What say? Deal? And my friend in Mumbai added this one for the day! How terrific is that? Two for one! Ugich Konitari has left a new comment on your post "MicroFiction Monday": Look,we're representing the anti-vodka Milk Party planning to march from Wisconsin to Alaska. Palin said we could go to Russia from there.. |

| Then Stella and her Mom came to visit!! Mojo hates it when that happens because she has to share the upstairs!! Ha Ha! I don't have to share anything! And the first day they were here they all went to a neighbor's house for Thanksgiving including my Mom. Mojo and Stella and I had to stay home!! What kind of Thanksgiving is that????? But on Friday Mojo and her Dad and Stella and her Mom went out sightseeing and hiking and Mom and I got to have the whole house to ourselves!! Whoooh! That was cool! But now for the really fun part! Today Adam and Amber went out for the day that didn't include Mojo or Stella! You can tell by the look on their faces how they felt!! I tried not to laugh at them, but it was hard!!! |

| Sky mirrors Dry winds and crackling leaves and she looks around the empty trees, stark in the dark.... There is a definite chill, she feels the roughness on her face, brownish in patches; and so she will sit and pine and grow thinner day by day, till a sliver of her old self. Cloud lotions, and Christmas flake moisturizers, coming up soon, make her smile, and touch her face again. There will soon be Dancing with the Stars.... The time for Thanksgiving has come.....

Once again our weather hasn't been particularly encouraging for any activity that requires sunlight! It's cold, windy, rainy as you can see in this first shot. That same neighbors tree showed up again in that reflection of a reflection and you can see the rain drops -- I haven't been trying to fool you! And you can see the reflection of the overhead light in the breakfast room. Then, of course, some of the other old regulars along with some more colored ones! Hope you have a wonderful weekend with lots of love and laughter and good food and a warm place to escape the cold!! |

The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter. Mark Twain Ugich Konitari has left a new comment for "Sky Watch Friday!": The Last Picture Show If all the world's a stage, and all the sky the curtain, then, given what goes on in the name of religion, power, insults, fatwas, defense, attack, and so on, is it any wonder, that the moon checks again and again, through the stage curtain before making an effort to appear in the sky ? |

A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. Mark Twain |

Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand. Mark Twain |

Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen. Mark Twain |
A man boarded an airplane and took his seat.. As he settled in, he glanced up and saw the most beautiful woman boarding the plane..
He soon realized she was heading straight towards his seat ... As fate would have it, she took the seat right beside his..
Eager to strike up a conversation he blurted out, "Business trip or pleasure?"
She turned, smiled and said, "Business. I'm going to the Annual Nymphomaniacs of America Convention in Boston "
He swallowed hard. Here was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen sitting next to him, and she was going to a meeting of nymphomaniacs.
Struggling to maintain his composure, he calmly asked, "What's your business role at this convention?"
"Lecturer," she responded. "I use information that I have learned from my personal experiences to debunk some of the popular myths about sexuality."
"Really?" he said. "And what kind of myths are there?"
"Well," she explained, "one popular myth is that African-American men are the most well-endowed of all men, when in fact it is the Native American Indian who is most likely to possess that trait.
Another popular myth is that Frenchmen are the best lovers, when actually it is men of Jewish descent who are the best.
I have also discovered that the lover with absolutely the best stamina is the Southern Redneck."
Suddenly the woman became a little uncomfortable and blushed. "I'm sorry," she said, "I shouldn't really be discussing all of this with you. I don't even know your name.."
"Tonto," the man said, "Tonto Goldstein, but my friends call me Bubba."
