I just hit 14000 posts! Ask me anything...
I'm going outside first to have a smoke and look at the flowers in my garden.

So you can ask me anything, and I'll answer in a few minutes.

7. Tulips
Irises, Daffoldils, Salvias, and a bunch of things I don't know the names of...

Rather beautiful too. The magnolia and Japanese Apple trees were in full bloom last week, but are done now.

15. Congratulations on so many things.

New laptop, reaching another milestone here at DU and enjoying all the beauty in your world.

x( The deer ate my tulips. The jonquils are almost finished blooming, the lilacs and redbuds are putting on a wonderful show. I missed my crocus while I was at the beach but I think I'll get to see all the new peonies I planted before I hop on the plane to a different beach.

I'm sure you love them both, but do you love them the same?

19. Yes, it is the same, at least right now.
As they get older, they will differentiate more.

I worry about her more, I think.

But then again, by that time they will know right from wrong, and then they have choices to make.

I hate guns...

26. Blue Jeans and a black tank top. Checked Vans.
Since I've lost 40 pounds in the past 6 months, I dropped 4 waist sizes and lost my gut.

Jeans fit better, tank tops look okay, and I can show off the tatoos.

27. Fair by Remy Zero
I play it way too much in the car.

RL

Fair - Remy Zero

Hey, are you lonely?
Has summer gone so slowly?
We found the ground,
but that damage was done.
It's cold as you fade into the sun.
Where'd you go? To me?
But you're alive!
Well, it's only
fallen frames, they told me.
You stand out, it's so loud...
and so what if it is.
It's cold when you fade into the wind.
Where'd it go to?

Chorus:
So what if you catch me,
where would we land?
In somebody's life
forsaking his hands.
Sing to me hope as she's
thrown on the sand.
All of your works
are rated again.
Where to go?

But it's all wrong, you're so strong.
But this life's work
and choice took far too long.

Where'd it go to?

Repeat chorus.

You know I love you.
You know I love you .
I want you oh so much.

It's so fair.

When I was sure you'd follow through,
My world was turned to blue.

When you'd hide
your songs would die,
so I'd hide yours with mine.

And all my words were bound to fall.
I know you won't fail...

see, I can tell...

That was cold. Lots of people have "snowball" burried in their garden. I take it you were being saucy.

Thou art already dead.
stabbed with a white wench's black eye,
run through the ear with a love song,
the very pin of heart cleft
with the blind bow-boy's butt shaft.

51. Now I'm really depressed. I should not have brought up the issue
if I wasn't prepared to play. Sorry. I meant to start a debate on whether cats should roam free.

Enjoy your flowers.
