Need an image makeover? I do.

All that and he thinks too!! He's got it made.

A Thought went up my mind today --
That I have had before --
But did not finish -- some way back --
I could not fix the Year --

Nor where it went -- nor why it came
The second time to me --
Nor definitely, what it was --
Have I the Art to say --

But somewhere -- in my Soul -- I know --
I've met the Thing before --
It just reminded me -- 'twas all --
And came my way no more --
( ED )

Very nice.










and aren't you a sweet thing. (how's the garden?)

Sweet thing eh! grrrrrrr!









Haven't done a thing in the garden yet . . . but it's on auto-pilot.
Crocuses have been blooming and daffodils are about 12" high . . .
they'll be blooming in a week or so I think. . . .still waiting on the forsythia to bloom . . . probably 5-7 days before that happens although you can see a little of the yellow getting ready to explode out of the buds.

Yeah, keep talking about your flowers. That'll get your tough guy stock up!

jjorge, we need to get you to start talking about sports. Synchronised swimming does not count.

nor figure skating. anything that involves judges, or "costumes" instead of "uniforms," or has a kiss-and-cry area is strictly verboten.

jjorge
you're just sucking up and getting all the attention from the ladies :wink: :wink: :wink:

patiodog! he called you a lady! you gonna stand (sit roll over) for that??

what!? come on, MF! you wanna piece of me?! bring it, MF!!!!

Um, yeah, so how bout' them New England Patriots? You like Brady?

Avatar, shmavatar. Talk is cheap, amigo. You really want the ladies to stop labeling you "precious, sweet, and nice" and have them start getting nekkid in the drop of a hat?

Treat em' like sh!t. Smash a beer can on your head(preferrably cheap beer), hand em' a $20 bill and say "why don't you take your sweet ass down to the packy and fetch me a 30-pack" while giving their backside a little tap. Subtle things like this equal mad sex.

Take it from me.

Flowers aren't prissy patiodog . . .
Everybodys into flowers nowadays even my hardhat blue collar brother can't stop talking about his Clematis, and zinnias and such. . .

. . . BTW can I call you Patty?





Slappy

I tried all that years ago. It worked for me about as good as it works for you.

PS
Is that why they call you Slappy? . . . cause you're slappin' all them butts?

(you know, you're kidding, but it seems like all the locals here talk about their damn rhododendrons. the same trees that are spreading sudden oak death throughout the country, but that's something else entirely. damn those rhodies!)

and no, you may not call me patty. just peppermint is fine.

But how does your brother pronounce Clematis??

:wink: :wink: Who is MF

Husker

I'm shocked that you'd say that!

(jjorge smirking)




Jespah

But I LIKE synchronised swimming!!!*




Patiodog

I really like the figure skating . . . the womens' anyway.

BTW Didn't the NY Yankees have a kiss and cry area last year?

Oh yeh, don't say damn, rhodies . . .I LIVE in 'Little Rhody'.

PS My brother drives me nuts. All he wants to do is talk about his
garden. It seems like he and wifey spend every waking moment
there.




Slappy

Brady's ok but I was more of a Bledsoe fan. Watch Bledsoe and
Buffalo in the next couple of years.

I can't stand Kraft who essentially pushed Parcells out then
pretended he wanted him to stay. Then he lied to and used the
Connecticut fans and politicians to leverage a better deal from
Massachusetts on a new stadium.

My man is Parcells. He runs a tight ship, he doesn't suffer whiners
or prima donnas gladly, and he wins.

Although he's tough he's highly respected by his players and he
gets the most out of them. Keep your eye on Dallas this year too.




Ossobucco

He says: Clem AH' tis

I say: CLEM' uh tis

I'm right (I believe)









* not!

the yankees may have had a kiss and cry area (hey, it's possible, with all them pretty boy millionaires), but they also had an empty-your-poo-bag area -- and that's manly.

A what????
