@Izzie,
Early Warning Requested if Tryagain Returns
@wandeljw,
Fer Sure
The City of a2co tests the sirens on the first Friday of each month at 10 a.m. If you hear the sirens at any other time, there is the possibility of a weather-related or other emergency that could require you to take precautions. For weather-related emergencies, the City of a2co will activate the sirens during a tornado warning... if a tornado ... or some other hot wind incdident....is imminent.
@Izzie,
Gosh, how did I miss the news about the hamburger family? My condolences.
@jespah,
Here now Jes.... that's what matters gal. x
@Izzie,
I know, just wishing love to 'em all.
@wandeljw,
Just wondering what wandeljw is up to?
@Dutchy,
Knowledge of Tryagain's whereabouts are always a concern for special agents.
@wandeljw,
Loverboy Tryagain is probably in sync with TTH and both orbit within the
cycle of the moon. Full moon is tonight or tomorrow - he should reappear then.
Be patient my friends!
Mention a full moon and I will howl with unrestrained delight…

Well, if the rumors are right….. About 230 pounds!!!
I’m always being asked; how do you rite so good?
Well, my several years spent in the cauldron of A2K politics have learnt me several rules:
Always avoid alliteration.
Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.)
Employ the vernacular.
Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
Contractions aren't necessary.
Foreign words and phrases are not apropos.
One should never generalize.
Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said: "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
Don't be redundant; don't use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous.
Profanity sucks.
Be more or less specific.
Understatement is always best.
Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
One-word sentences? Eliminate.
Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
The passive voice is to be avoided.
Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms.
Who needs rhetorical questions?
In an upcoming interview Calamity-Jane is asked, ‘which is more useful, the Sun or the Moon?’
"I think it's the Moon because the moon shines at night when I want the light, whereas the Sun shines during the day and keeps me awake!"
De nouveaux locataires pour la cathédrale d'Albi " Yeah, right; go tell that to the birds!
@Tryagain,
Not wanting to call attention to this subject, but I weigh 220 pounds, not 230.
Once upon a time, I woulda known that in metric.
@jespah,
Pound weight is psychologically not as enticing as kilogram weight - in kg,
wandel has 99.75, which looks so much better on paper than pounds, doesn't it?
@CalamityJane,
Questionable, but it does make me look better to convert the pounds into kilograms.
Rules like the ones edicted by Tria Gain are always used by me.
My acquaintance with the locataires de la cathédrale d'Albi doesn't make me an ornithologist..
@Francis,
Sacre bleu another outstanding editorial by that master of words Tryagain, no wonder the ladies are fighting for his favours.

@Dutchy,
Tryagain? Well, he's kinda cute if ya like ... blue.
Valetudinarianism can be cured by Understanding The Color Psychology of Blue:
Blue is described as a favorite color by many people and is the color most preferred by men. Blue calls to mind feelings of calmness or serenity. It is often described as peaceful, tranquil, secure, and orderly.
Blue is often used to decorate offices because research has shown that people are more productive in blue rooms. Some weight loss plans even recommend eating your food off of a blue plate.
Consider if you will how blue is used in language: blue moon, blue Monday, blue blood, the blues, and blue ribbon. It is also the past tense of Blow;
I am going to blow, I am blowing, I blue…
Luscious Jespah, in your honor I name the 1,000,000 word in the English language: Qinuazk
It means; quintessentially a=k
@Tryagain,
When did I become luscious?
Radical!
