Now I love to cook so it was not a tribulation. I remember on the 4th of July they used to have a TWILIGHT ZONE marathon. The day before I prepped whatever I was going to have so on the day when the marathon began I'd be in front TV watching all day. It was something I looked forward to do....a TRADITION I had built all by myself for myself.Do you have a tradition for you? If not you should. If so what is it if you don't mind my asking? less

I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW! Hissy fit tantrums usually work for them.So it seems that 40% of Americans subscribe to I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW. Temporarily or permanently? Will they survive their demand for INSTANT gratification NOW? More importantly, WILL WE?

What do you think will happen? A twitch of your nose and hospital beds and workers magically appear to care for YOU? Naw. It won't work that way. You will get ill and have no one to care for you and you could die. Or you could suffer through and WISH you had died because you will be unable to breathe for a very long time GASPING for every breath you get and in pain everywhere at once. Your choice. Go for it. Have your fling. Do your thing. No one dares suggest advise opine in your best interest. It's your life. less

She would call out the name on the valentine and the recipient would walk up to claim it and go back to his/her seat. The popular kids kept going up repeatedly. I think I might have gotten one. I just remember how I wished there were another way to do it. Actually probably no one paid any attention and didn't care. They were too busy with their own valentines. I wonder why after all these years that is the one thing that stands out still from grammar school days?. Did you ever have something like that you had to go through? less

Good student but I didn't have a lot of friends. The weird thing is I was voted "most sophisticated"! I will never figure that out. Maybe they mistook the shyness for something else. I don't know. I didn't ask.So how about you? Did you love the whole thing and have wonderful memories of your school years?Or not so much?

You don't gild the lily. It is already perfection and you cannot improve on it.He will show up at the proper time and make that declaration. If Republicans are in a majority anywhere they will absoluteky confirm him. On the spot. First day he will burn the Constitution and from then on there will be no rules anywhere in writing or otherwise to stop him from having his way with everyone and everything.He will be older and fatter then too which will be easier on his body. Jabba the hut was a sloth. Duck is too.His adoriing worshippers will still be there adoringly worshipping. They will never have stopped. He is the air they breath the food they eat the drink they drink the ground they walk on. Without him they do not exist. With him they are eternal and forever.I might not be here then. I don't know.
