have you contemplated the futility of an answer?

So much better to

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/07/2022:  11:00:32

say that the dress has nothing to do with it.

Then you can head for Grim Jim’s

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/07/2022:  13:23:45

after your ambulance trip to the hospital to get patched up.

They say there’s

OM45GE - Posted - 06/07/2022:  16:07:53

no place like home and considering my home, that’s probably a good thing.

I’m not saying

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/07/2022:  21:37:14

that I love her, I’m not saying that I care.



Or that I’ll sing her name up to the sky

either in praise or a wail of anguish.

She definitely provokes

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/08/2022:  04:38:41

me in alarming, yet intriguing ways.

For instance

OM45GE - Posted - 06/08/2022:  08:27:00

she has started referring to someone named Larry like is some sort of great guy.

Now, I only know two Larry’s and

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/08/2022:  08:40:20

they’ve been dating for 2 years now.

So “her Larry”

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/08/2022:  09:26:35

has to be her new Larrivée 000-50-FSB Slotted headstock, fingerstyle guitar.

You can’t get

saw_woods - Posted - 06/08/2022:  10:46:34

love like that out of a bottle.

They say money can’t buy you love, but I. This case

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/08/2022:  13:14:33

lies an old 1938 D-18.

I’m going back to

saw_woods - Posted - 06/08/2022:  14:53:23

Old (West) Virginia, to bunji jump of the bridge across the New River Gorge.

I sure hope

OM45GE - Posted - 06/09/2022:  02:35:27

I remember to tie the bungee cord to the bridge this time.

It is surprising

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/09/2022:  05:14:43

how much crud accumulates under a kitchen refrigerator and stove over time.

It seems like yesterday

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/09/2022:  09:46:53

that found 3 dead mice and 6 cockroaches under there.

I might go off-grid

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/09/2022:  11:13:41

for awhile because utility prices are Sky high.

Speaking of

OM45GE - Posted - 06/09/2022:  17:30:03

high, has anyone seen my rolling papers?

I need to

saw_woods - Posted - 06/09/2022:  20:39:29

try to remember the lyrics to, “Don’t bogart that joint, my friend.”

For some reason, my mind

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/09/2022:  22:20:14

has taken a vacation, or as my Pa used to say, “you’ve got a vacant mind.”

He had a way with words

saw_woods - Posted - 06/10/2022:  03:16:57

,In fact, ma often accused him of suffering from diarrhea of the mouth.

I can’t get

OM45GE - Posted - 06/10/2022:  03:37:13

that image out of my head.

It reminds me of

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/10/2022:  04:27:38

the time my cousin fell face first into a fresh cow pie.

It was quite a

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/10/2022:  06:05:45

rude awakening for an arrogant city boy.

He vowed

saw_woods - Posted - 06/10/2022:  06:40:50

to bring along some ice cream for his next cow pie.

Some people

OM45GE - Posted - 06/10/2022:  08:01:13

don’t share his culinary interests but he doesn’t care.

He’s happy to

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/10/2022:  10:34:31

be the odd man out.

I seem to recall

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/10/2022:  12:03:04

add man rushes during hockey games.

I don’t just mean on the ice either

OM45GE - Posted - 06/10/2022:  16:42:00

, or as some call it, on the rocks.

Speaking of rocks,

saw_woods - Posted - 06/10/2022:  16:58:48

I like to get my jollies by climbing up some.

The views are

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/10/2022:  19:56:07

igneous and metamorphic.

My prospecting days are over

OM45GE - Posted - 06/11/2022:  04:11:10

now that I discovered the mother lode.

I’ll never

Love Another was a popular Flatt & Scruggs song.

There’s something

saw_woods - Posted - 06/11/2022:  06:07:36

About Mary was one of those films I found hilarious the first time I saw it, but couldn’t sit through more than once.

There are some films

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/11/2022:  08:29:55

on pond surfaces that remind me scum.

I grew up

OM45GE - Posted - 06/11/2022:  18:32:45

thinking there had to be a better way.

My parents were so strict

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/12/2022:  07:47:18

that when I was three years old we got a dog who behaved better than me, so they got rid of me.

Once

saw_woods - Posted - 06/12/2022:  07:59:59

I ran away from my foster family, but they tracked me down with a bloodhound.

His name was Rhino,and

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/12/2022:  09:58:23

he used to slobber on the kitchen floor during our breakfasts.

This was reason enough

saw_woods - Posted - 06/12/2022:  10:31:01

to banish him from the house.

All was well, until

OM45GE - Posted - 06/13/2022:  03:08:09

exactly what “it” was but it was large and left a big mark on my forehead.

There were no

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/13/2022:  05:42:25

clues other than a mangled Celtic cross lying on the ground.

I’m sure it was one of my dead relatives

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/13/2022:  07:03:01

who left me an accordion as inheritance.

Although

OM45GE - Posted - 06/13/2022:  15:18:57

I have no idea how to play accordion.

In fact, I

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/13/2022:  16:39:51

don’t know how to do much of anything useful.

The one thing I do well

chuckv97 - Posted - 06/13/2022:  16:56:04

is fill inkwells at the pioneer village school.

Octopi are sources of

OM45GE - Posted - 06/14/2022:  02:46:04

wonder and have some amazing traits.

For example, they

Pick-A-Lick - Posted - 06/14/2022:  10:10:43

are generally considered to be Left-handed and are a wonderful source of protein.



It's common

(I fabricated the Left-handed remark but it sounds good)

to find octopi in the ocean but nobody can recall seeing one in the Sonoran Desert.

Perhaps they
