Obama is running out of smoke
And shiny mirrors to explain
Why most of us know he left us
Standing broke, out in the rain
I suppose that the next “story”
His minions are directed to tell
Is that he’s been too valetudinarian
To see plainly the road to hell
That he has sent us speeding on-
If he is concerned he might be ill
He needs a psychologist for that-
Preferably one with plenty of skill...
I swear he is has a major emotional problem-now he thinks if he becomes story-teller in chief people will learn to like no work, no money for bills, ramen noodles and hamburger helper to eat every day with salad as a treat? If I were a casemanager for his employer I’d recommend a psych eval for him before he got a dime of workers comp benefits...
“humans have sex” Apparently, that instructor either does not, or is kinky-he is a voyeur, at the very least-he needs to be sued...
did you get my email pic of xsteen with Sid’s dryer? also has pix of his school uniform and report cards....
I had a roommate in college who was a sociology major and she had a class in Human Sexuality, and the days they showed sex films, the room was always packed. BTW, she dropped out one semester shy of graduating. I guess she noticed what the job market would be and went back to waitressing.
That is interesting to know! Someday when I have the oppotunity, I’ll ask him about it. When we were anticipating his arrival, we were trained to say Yah’- meed. Oooops! We were quickly re-trained the day of his arrival to say Jah - meed’. In any case, he seems like a eally nice guy.
Oh, mine did. I stepped in to keep my husband from giving him “what-for”. He might have gotten us ex-communicated!
My husband did get his 2 cents in by muttering “serial adulterer in the White House” at the mention of JFK. But his crack about “you should be glad you are not married to her” caused the pastor to crack up, and that broke the tension.
Ya meed is fine. The Ja is really a nuanced Y sound. I don’t have the phonetic vocab to describe it but you put your tongue on the roof of your mouth behind your front teeth to pronounce the Y sound and it ends up a little like a J.
Mine has been known to exclaim aloud at lib nonsense in church and when attending Mass in upstate NY has walked out of ridiculous lib masses like when they had the gay lay person give the homily about the church needing to be more welcoming of gays. We tease my husband about being a groupie of one particular priest who used to be our associate but now is the pastor of Clarence Thomas’ church. Father DeCelles is excellent. We have also gone to Mass where justice scalias son in pastor. Saw Niño there once and saw Clarence at st Raymond’s.
It’s why we always sit on the right side of the church. ROR!
Possibly the first, of millions, to lose their job because of Obama.
I meant you’d like the accomodations for the dogs.
No, I don’t have my PC with me, so no reading my personal emails.
We walked out once (1983) in Washington State when we had some crazy, radical, substitute priest who started carrying on about the Korean Passenger Airliner that the Soviets shot down, killing all aboard, because it was spying. He also mentioned how he was in a small plane that was waved away from flying over an air base in Puget Sound and he seemed pleased as puch that he had done that.
We walked out, along with some other people we know. The problem was that we were in the choir loft and our walking out made a lot of noise. My daughter (who was leading the choir) was humiliated at our action, but we defended ourselves mightily.
Fast forward 30 years. Guess what. That Korean Airliner WAS spying.
Who’s taking care of Riverdance (haha know thsts not it but it’s river or stream something)
River Blue.
River Blue is at the doggie hotel. They were going to have another sheltie in this week and put them in adjoining rooms.
Oh how fun! Very cool when they encounter one of their peeps!!
Space and Air museum??????
I would think thats a large empty building.
