About me:


How I made my profile:
I used MyWackoSpace.com's amazing MySpace Editor. According to a straw poll of my friends, I am: kind, determined, capable, loving, too hard on myself, too soft on my kids, easy to be with and I am a good listener. They make me look really good, my friends. I don't know why they all failed to gush about how funny I am... maybe I'm the only one who's laughing...

Who I'd like to meet:
peace-loving wags with gentle souls and sharp tongues.

You, like my husband, are one of my very best things. I love you so much, that I KNOW you love me MORE, because you are weak, and subservient...you KNOW you luff me, and you luff it!

Ya know what ya do? You forget. You forgive. Everyone is happy. Never to speak means never to remember. Remembering is King. Pleasure is Queen. Behind every King is Pleasure. Before every King is Pleasure. We live and die for and by Pleasure. Forget and Forgive walk swinging clasped hands. The Queen trumps the King every time.

Now introducing COLOSTOMY PET!

For the very lazy pet owner, who has no interest in unexpected waste, or scheduled exercise, here is the COLOSTOMY pet! Now available in dog, cat, bird and our monthly special, FERRET, this easy to dispose of load of crap is self-contained in an easy-to-remove, disposable, plastic bag. Forget pooper-scoopers , and unpleasant cage cleanings, these pets can be emptied at YOUR convenience! Four steps to freedom! Just twist, seal, drop and screw!
1: Take off the specially designed colostomy bag
2: seal it up
3: put it in the garbage
and
4: pop on a new bag!
Enjoy your pet, without the mess!

I love you SO much...and NOT just because we have the same mother..! I just saw a poster on the subway that asked if a person gets up at night to eat. The reason is that there is a medical classification for that, AND a medical study which will determine the appropriate MEDICATION, apparently! The affliction is NOT called OCD, instead, it is specifically, "Sleep Related Eating Disorder". SRED is different from DAYTIME eating disorders, so if you binge or purge during your usual AWAKE hours, you are not going to reap the benefits of the WONDER DRUG! Har, har, har... I miss you
Hey! I have "Dressing in the Dark Syndrome" please do a study and come up with a CURE! F CANCER, let's solve FATNESS with DRUGS!! Oh wait, I pee at night, I think there should be a study regarding a cure for "Nocturnal Urinal Relief Affliction"

NURA has made me a SHUT IN!

You luff me

I'm amazed at how long Van Buren has kept it alive.

LONG LIVE MUTTON CHOPS!!!

Just stopping in to say hey...so "Hey"
Anyone else I might know from the old days in your friends list? I was looking at your photos, and I think my 1970's 1st grade photo is pretty much identical to yours-- well-- except it's me in the picture-- but other than that. Of course-- Acton used the same company for all the school photos, which would explain it. We did not get to choose fancy primary colored laser-light backgrounds.

They say Van Buren's got the "Potomac Primary" all wrapped up. Change is in the air!

Hey Suze! Didja watch the election returns!? Van Buren is wrapping things up down south!
(I know - I already used this one on Nettie, but it's still cracking me up).

Wow! Just got a blast from the past with that Green Peppers tune from Herb Albert! My childhood just passed before my eyes.
I hope all is well with you and that you're not covered with snow. xo

It occurs to me that there was a gross oversight of NO SPANKING on Saturday night. How the hell did you get away with THAT?!!!!

How the hell were you not my friend already??? Well, thank goodness we've remedied that. Hugs!
