I had a gorgeous dress, it looked good on me. I wore it to the symphony.
It was cotton, on the hanger, it looked casual. On me, it looked hand-made and women stopped to stare. That dress was made for a runway. When I wore that dress, the whole room stopped! No model ever had a better dress. It was a Speigel nothing.
On me, I was Cinderella. I've never been so beautiful, my whole life. It was a cotton dress, laced up top, sundress, navy-style pockets, gold buttons, slits on the side, I unbottoned the skirt and a noisy bar got quiet, when I entered.
I started to be embarrassed until girls asked me about the dress. Others just said, "nice dress". When a dress makes the whole place go quiet, it's either wrong, or very RIGHT!
I wear stuff I like. French cuffs, I like touches of drama.
I have a fond memory of an animal t-shirt, Other times, his blue shirt matched his eyes. His button-down jeans were great.
This thread was about the rise in oil prices, right?
Nigeria was a high producer, then the kidnappings started, the sabotage hindered production, 2-2.5 % of the world's oil is significant. That's what Nigeria produced. That was stopped.
I'm thinking you guys could care less if Nigerian rebels have kidnapped oil workers and held them for ransom. Did you know American oil workers are held longer? Schlumberger is often attacked in Africa. Even the compounds are attacked. Schlumberger is trying to train native kids and give scholarships.
If Exxon and Shell did the same and hired natives, maybe people would be safe.
I used to work for Exxon. They weren't the only employer in my country, even if they paid well. I hated that company so much, I'd rather wait tables.
Very rare glimpses of the "real" me are observed. My daughter has the best understanding of what lies below. She's refinishing some pieces and asked for my help. I've got a bed that was abused and a piece shattered. It left two jagged holes. I finally decided it was better to trim the jagged ends, fill the holes slowly, carefully and match up the new to the existing design in order to preserve the beauty of the original. I never could figure out how to put all the pieces together.
It's a gorgeous carved bed with turned poles, scroll work and it's very intricate. It took me 5 years to tackle the project. I've had the supplies for two years, but I lacked faith in my abilities. Even if it doesn't turn out perfect, it makes me happy to make the repairs and invest the time.
The family prefers the shellacked, gleaming product. As long as they can see themselves in a mirror finish, they're happy. My mother said I should just get rid of it quickly, then forget it. I'm not the type to discard beauty because it has a couple of flaws. I'd rather spend some time and effort on a great thing and keep it.
Pat, you picked one helluva an analogy and came pretty close, as usual.
I know what needs to be done and I've been doing the work. It's a slow go, 'cause I'm scared, but it already looks better.
I'm an angry sloth who's envious of other's good fortune. I'm lustful of other's works and take pride in my ability. If my abilities are recognized, I'm greedy about my paycheck. When all my sins are acknowledged, I'm gluttinise about shrimp, only because I take the time to shell shrimp and search for my 7th Sin. I might eat too many.
Does he eat fruit? You could cut up fresh fruit and veggies. My daughter developed a fondness for raw broccoli and cauliflower, she eats everything raw. When she was 3, I just cut up stuff and let her pick. She was over baby-food (made from scratch). Finger-foods were all fruits and veggies, raw.
Just give him raw stuff. He'll feed himself and you can figure it out. In the interim, he's eating healthy. By the time he's a teen, he'll still eat fruits, veggies and less junk.
Moss is green because it lives in nature and the forest. Sunlight and photosynthesis is merely a chemical reaction to sunlight. Natural things are prone to stuff like that. We wear camoflage because we don't fit in the forest and we're not green.
I ordered old books, had a snack and the postage will send me to my second shower.
I used to drive to work, to sweat and shower twice.
Best to shower twice, no electricity used. I've even come to like cold showers. If I could stand having hairy parts, I'd be a poster child conservation!
(11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed 'her night off.' And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women...
In the event the man invited 100 people to view his skills, she might have also, mowed and trimmed the yard, picked up after the dogs, borrowed furniture and acted as DJ.
All the guests will say she was grumpy, but he's a perfect host. As an upshot, his boss will love him. Her, not so much.
I'd like to be a cat, with floor to ceiling windows, and a nice cozy litterbox.
You may come and go, just leave me food, water and change my litter, before it gets stinky.
I'll meet you at the door, act like I like you, and curl up in your lap.
When you're gone, I'll have my favorite windows for sunbathing, sleeping and storms. When you have guests, I'll hide under the bed, in the closet, or find the far corner in the master bath.
No stranger touching! I don't want to be friendly, unless my owner treats me well. Come to think of it, do I have to be a cat?
Seems the stars have moved in the past 2000 years. (Ya' think?!?) Going by the new positions of stars, at the time of my birth, it would make me a Leo rather than Virgo.
My cousin married a guy in a wheelchair. They've been together almost 30 years. I didn't go to her wedding, I don't think I was invited. Knowing her, I'm not sure she invited anyone. Ben was in a wheelchair and part of the fam, 30 years ago. She never needed approval, for anything.
I was fond of a guy at work. If I hadn't been living with a guy, I would have asked him out. Frankly, wish I'd kept my job, dumped the romance, and asked out the guy in the chair.
If I'd been smart, that's exactly what I would have done.
Don't kid yourself, maybe you've met plenty of women who want to go out with you. Do they have boyfriends, would they call you, when they got single? Did you tell them you were interested? When was the last time you noticed a twinkle in a woman's eye? Did you give her your number? Make yourself available!
Some women could care less about your chair. If she twinkles, in her eyes, when she talks to you, give her a number!
