Easy to hypnotize these critters, place a chock in the mouth to hold it wide open, shove a large diameter gastric tube down to the final resting place of fatso Buffalo Bill, whose kid did you kill, apply suction, get enough for presumptive gross tissue ID, and a lab DNA sample. Softly reverse proceedures. Then place a heroes ribbon around it's neck before gentle release. I do it all the time up here near Canada, where the place is lousy with these caring critters, who appreciate the tropical climate. Aa.
LO F L. Thanks, Zman. Hope it's really true, and that both crocks are now sunning themselves, eyes a beaming, with that knowing Mona Lisa smile going. Aa.
Good post, Mic man. Wonder if the Donald has read the Art of War by Sun Tsu. Action in Syria and Afgoneistan, while DINING with Chinese PM. Cards about the whereabouts of carrier task force close to vest. Lots more that really fits. Aa.
OK, here's a kicker, of sorts. There is a documented neurological syndrome of emotion induced multiple O's, pretty much exclusively seen in females, although some of us pray each night to be so afflicted for life. Likely relates to certain sleep or seizure disorders, as with narcolepsy, in which some patients fall asleep on experiencing strong emotions, often laughter. Very rare conditions these, but while our jokes may at times be very good, they probably are not THAT good. Aa.
A lot of these devices never fail to facinate, and many poor souls swear by their prowess of divination. For me it's the I Ching. Sure, lots of times after a throw, I have to steady myself by sitting down, so spot on is the info. But I've realized that much of the good advice comes from re reading, mulling it over, living a bit more in it, and only then acting. WOW!. Aa.
LJ, and all. Thanks. Having Elders who live into very old age is auspicious. Lifestyle in moderation and Mediterranean diet seem important. Oddly, friendly/loving social contact and always learning new things as well, as are spirituality, a little hearty red wine and regular exercise. Well, perhaps not so oddly. Aa.
Thanks, Mini. Often makes sense. Sadly,, folks often don't get the connections till quite late. And Confucius advised respecct for parents, and elders in general. I don't think he meant unquestioned devotion, just patience and fair judgment, without surrendder, and support in old age. Applied to my sibs and me. Aa.
Took the wind right out of my sails. Happy Passover, Easter, etc. to CS and all you mentally challenged blogers. Got a bit of a tan already, but I notice the nose is dark brown? Aa.
Not at all, F. it's a woman-man sort of thing, methinks. In our most elegant and productive endeavors, we men can use all the experience and wise help we can get. aa.
Well, seagrit's post, funny as it was, did push a tad bit toward the crude on sensibility scales. But as I've said before. biology is destiny. I was actually waiting for a similar post concerning gas. Aa.
If I'm really honest, one of the most useful things about wedding rings for me is that they often guide my behaviors with women I come across. Of course, there's a lot of deceptions here. People wear them and take them off for manipulative purposes. But I definitely act differently when I encounter an attractive woman with and without the wedding band on board. How about you ladies? Aa.
Think I've said it before here, but it bears repeating, as a cautionary tale for both genders. Instead of on the ring finger, allegorically, in many marriages, the ring on men gets placed where it's worn on many bulls. Aa.
What doesn't kill us, can often make us stronger. I should know. Get over it, let go, forgive, stop allowing lowlives to rent emotional space in our heads, above all, stop blaming and settling. Aa.
Very relevant comment, F. Thanks. Forgot to mention it in my blog. But if we are honest, many of us like to broadcast some of our lives to the wide world. Blogs, poetry, and so on. Hell, I do it. Just not on SM, as a rule. Aa.
