I understand why the great ones drank a lot. All may not be lost, I've had a great deal of intoxicants in my misspent youth, which would mean it wasn't misspent at all. Now that's just logical. Hey!! I might be catching a beat to this. I'm also going to double my coffee and smoke more. That should do it.

Now that, is the best logic I've seen all day. I know because I've been trying to do it. See, I have all the makings of a great Philosifer, Artiest and Cumongation or however you spell crazy old man in French. I'm eccentric as hell, I'm poor, I'm in seclusion, I don't like bath tubs, but it just ain't comin. I get my Wa busted all day by Ike, Jack the cat is out clearing off the kitchen table of pennies and books. I have come to the logical conclusion anybody that has cat and a dog and more then likely a telephone, kids, a wife and a firehouse near by, should never be read. He doesn't stand a prayers chance in hell of getting anything even remotely good produced.


I remember in one of Alexander King's books one of his old girlfriends shaved her head and painted herself blue and sat on her old beater car out in front of William Carlos Williams's house until he had the cops come take her away.

Umm, you can spell it, so logicaly, you must be French. If you are, that means you're going to correct me everytime I say the word France. That's not very flattering. So if you won't do it, then I must. This logic thing is really on a roll tonight. I do need more coffee though. I still think you'd look good in blue. Is my flattery working?

Yep, I'm vicious like a cheesecake; oh so sweet and inviting, a pleasure to meet again and again... until you realize I never had to "attack" because the damage was already done sneakysneaky a long time ago. :twisted: :wink:

If we could switch for a day I don't think I could resist at least once turning around and saying "Boo!" *snicker*
Ok, now we have the bookends of reactions. How do we find the happy medium? Actually, I would like both in my arsenal. The ability to look sweet and innocent so no one knows what's coming and the ability to convince people to leave me alone with a look. Of course somedays I think I should have used the name MischievousMouse.

My dearest Dino's, I have missed you so. Beneath even Posties acerbic tongue is a heart of gold. Not so on the main forum, where I feel that poor, misdiagnosed psychopaths reign. I've been withdrawing until I feel a little safer to put my toe back in the water. News of fires even reached SA. I do hope Nan is safe.

Robyn (nannarob) once put it like this: many of us Dinos have been around long enough to know that nothing, good or bad, lasts forever; that the world isn't black and white, it's full of shade and nuance; that fellowship and mutual support are important; that it's a waste of valuable time to bear grudges or to argue endlessly about trivial things.

Life is too short. Let's have a laugh while we can! :jester:

SSSHHHHHH! Please don't say the word "smoke" around me until further notice. After a year, I just suddenly started craving them again, stronger than ever. It's just a good thing that I have 4 kids that need me to stay alive and healthy for a long time. Otherwise, I'd be outside having one right now. It always amazes me how something that smells so horrid and can do such nasty things to a body can have such a hold on a person.

When I was a teen, my family had to stay with relatives while my parents where waiting for their new house to be built. These relatives had a beautiful silver persian. If that creature saw you heading upstairs with towel in hand, he would race up the stairs and jump right in the sink. In my case, I couldn't move him because of my severe allergy and he didn't seem to find me all that scary, so in the sink he stayed. He also seemed to like sitting on my knitting projects and would plant himself on the table in the middle of the newspaper every time I sat down to read it.

You realise, of course, that he was saying, "Hmm, this one's a bit standoffish - I'll make her pay attention to me, even if it kills the both of us."

Yeah, I kind of figured. :lol: :lol: An old neighbor of mine had a big old tom cat that prowled the neighborhood and rarely came home. Whenever she got worried that he'd been away for too long she'd have me over for coffee and we'd sit on the front step. Within a half hour I'd have a smelly old cat rubbing up against my leg. It never worked with anyone else. And I try so hard to pretend I don't like them. I guess they see through me. :wink:
