GAH! I made the mistake of listening to Clint’s tune. Yup, it sure is melancholy.
Truthfully, I appreciate all of the upbeat and humorous comments from all of y’all. You vivacious friends remind me of the high jinx and comradery of my high school days. And we know joy & laughter keep us healthy.
Here’s a song that makes me happy and reminds me of our more youthful days.
I admit, I don’t act my age and am quite content being “comically quick-witted” [ translation: GOOFY]. Either folks scratch their head and stare at me in bamboozlement… or they spring gaily to life around me because I’m so “joyfully animated” (translation: DITZY).
Yikes. Maybe the doors are sentimental to him. Or perhaps they are unique in some way that he fears something aesthetic will be lost. Who knows? Well, apparently you'll find out when he brings them in to show you.
BD, “posting videos and such as a mild form of protest” is something I would often do on another site’s message board. It didn’t accomplish much other than letting narrow-minded folks know I thought they were full of malarkey and as a result, getting put on ignore by some. I no longer post there.
“Like painting a mural in a monkey house” Now that’s funny!
It is my opinion that you have a clever sense of humor, BD.
I gather you are in truth implying “gnoseological” epistemology, Mr. Elf? I do say, you present an astute theory for email reciprocation, which I, too shall endeavor to execute henceforth.
I agree, Marlin. Men who are coy and flirtatious make it awkward for me to dialogue with them. I think it comes across not exactly direct, ya know? Possibly because my father was an old fashioned gentlemanly sort, very friendly and candid with everyone, people liked and respected him. I feel much more drawn to guys who are immediately cordial and unpretentious.
I long ago read that eating lots of green leafy vegetables, dark berries & fruit like blueberries & pomegranates, and sweet potatoes were not only a natural sunscreen, but also helped skin absorb vitamin D from the sun. Evidently it's true. I've been eating spinach, sweet potatoes, and strawberries & blueberries regularly, am in the sun all the time, and I don't burn. And I'm a fair skin redhead living in the heart of Texas.
Dear God, his poor mother. How she will suffer with guilt and grief. May she find peace someday soon, hopefully friends will surround and comfort her. May Eric RIP.
My day is going really well, thanks for asking. For the first time in about two years I've been able to write again. I had lost my motivation during a rough patch, but now am inspired again. Even wrote a poem this morning that just flowed right out of me.
My siblings and I used to watch that hilarious show growing up. Back in the 1980's Demond Wilson (who played Lamont Sanford) visited my brother's church in Toledo, OH and talked about how he came to the Lord. I remember thinking, "Wow, it's Fred Sanford's son, 'Dummy'!"
Isn't it strange about technology? Years back, when practically every person and business was listed in the phonebook, it was often easier to find who you were looking for than it is searching online today. The internet has gotten so congested in the past few years, hasn't it? Also, before cell phones, I memorized all my family and friends' phone numbers. I still remember my phone number from 1960's! Today, I can hardly remember my own cell number when asked.
I mostly regret the times I wasn't a faithful friend. I often was selfish and allowed my own life's drama to get in the way of being committed in my friendships. I'm trying to remain more aware now.
RE: 5 people on a plane
Hilarious!
