"Rule of Feline Frustration"

I dubbed that one the Hitchhikers Dilemma. No cars will come till you have your **** hanging out...... No cars will come until you have to p** and they won't stop unless you do stop and it hurts to stop, if you really had to go that badly.

Well I had to think on something in the dead of night on some deserted highway and it always seemed to work out that way. I entertain myself very easily.

On the other hand, you might catch an interesting ride if you do let it all hang out, even if was a cop. But no headlights will appear until you let it all hang out.

It's hard in the winter. That might be due to Frozen Unit Syndrome. The male is extraordinary in that sense of cold. Shrinking Violet Syndrome I think or what ever you happen to call it.

Am I treading on thin ice here?

Like the bus never coming over the horizon until after you've fired up another lungbuster. And that was when tobacco products were relatively affordable, even for impoverished students. Just as well that I quit when they were still less than a buck a pack.

Thin ice, ai. Reminds me of my misspent youth in the frozen winters of Alberta. Makes my knee ache just thinkin' about it. 8O

Damn, I am old. :D

You can not imagine how many false starts I managed to put out before I figured I best shut up. It was fun though and you are now a legend in Alberta, at least in my mind. Nobody should ever leave such lines as you wrote while I'm still awake and I never sleep.

My rule of writing? Those that wrote the rules of writing didn't know what they were writing about.

Lemon, I so enjoy mangling the English language, rules, and other hobgoblins, never ever read anything I write. Including this one.

Please don't right your writing. It's your right to stick to the right of the page, as you age, and act as a mage, which is all the rage.

I read "Reading" at Reading University, and I know no one now would see the wood for the trees in there if they didn't come in threes.

So, it's off to its second cup of coffee (not toffeee), for the lau, which will make two, if that's not too much, for the witch's which are four in number fat present (and where are my presents?), if this doesn't make them feel number than my frozen fingers.

That last was a lie. It's a pleasant 5C here, and the snow is melting. Well, at least some of it is, and Wells is well clear of frozen wells.

And my "off button" is just over ther

Check out the edit tag time stamp on my post. I was on it so long I thought I hadn't posted it yet, for the first time. I punched the post button and proceeded to go make a before sleep sandwich, thought I best check the mail one last time and saw your post with me quoted and I thought, OMG how did he do that so fast. It like freaked me out. I mean every body that i have talked to marvels at your speed, but that's just plum stunning.

(And never ask what I really throw away. I'm not afriad of the ban bomb, but don't ban bomb me yet. I threw it away.) Now I see why I was on the edit so long it took me at least 15 attempts to write bomb instead of boob. No reason for it, it's not like the o and the m are really close, but oooommm is rather soothing. No, no real reason to have been on the edit that long that I can think of, unless......

What you wrote made perfect sense and that scares me more then the first freak out.

O'Master of silly bits, I bow before thouist golden bough. For blessed is thigh verbage.

How'd he do dat? Howdy do.......I gotta go to sleep, the drool is starting to wet my shirt.

No need to thank me, Postie. And you need to know this about our almighty Lau: even while busily numbering his frozen fingers, he still knows and sees all verbiage that passes through his cyberspatial demesnes. Before, during and after it is edited. Just ask Merle, she knows it's true. :D

she was chatting with us this AM on Skype, it is down by Melbourne (Nannarob is up by Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast) in the state of Victoria near the 'bottom' of the continent. Watching the terror and grief on their faces (on US TV) even an Aspie can figure out.

Watching Climate Change happen is literally not believable I don't know if I can wrap my mind around it on a Global scale. It just all blurrs into horror after horror.

The fires down there are not brought on by climate change, but by outright malice.
They were set deliberately. Click for Video
