OK, I promised you more “wild art.” How’s this? I drew this to be the cover of my book. Beaucoup Arlo & Janis, but I chickened out. I didn’t want to have to listen to all the juvenile giggling and hooting which I knew would ensue (No, not you!) or to that annoying tut-tutting about children reading the comics. I told you: I chickened out. Instead, I went with a more staid version of a Rodin theme which I thought turned out well enough.

Well – that didn’t work! LOL -:)
Mike is waiting to hear from a friend who is cruising the Arkansas River. He is going to meet him and go out today or tomorrow, it is beautiful right now with fall foliage starting.
Mom and I are going out for a birthday breakfast for her, we had birthday lunch yesterday and tomorrow we will have birthday dinner. She had coconut cream pie with a candle and waitresses sang happy birthday. Wonder if they will have candles for the biscuits and gravy?
Then we will pick green beans and I will start cleaning out some plants that rain, wind and fungus took out, like squash. My plan is to try and spend time she enjoys with her, so much as we can. She is going to at least watch tulip planting time!
Love, Jackie
Lily, I know who you are, and you know who I know. Not hard to find you here from your pseudo-Facebook page. These nice people here are concerned about you, whether you want it or not. Don’t you think it’s time you come clean with them?
The fantasy life you’ve presented here probably seemed harmless and fun enough at first, but now people have come to realize how it all doesn’t add up, and they’re worried or puzzled about you. The pictures you post are not really you, many of the events you say have happened never occurred. The Man in your life, the Boss in your life, all of that – where to start with that? The kindest way to say it is that they don’t exist in the way you have portrayed them. You are not digging discarded flowers from the trash of a rich family. And so much more. I could not believe that several threads ago you invoked Murr and the dressing, as though that could be your story. That’s seems too much. What’s next, Diann and all the girls?
Villagers, you know the internet can be one big masquerade party. The person who plays Lily here does indeed need your concern, but maybe for different reasons than you may be thinking.
Lily, the people here seem very kind and understanding. Use their openheartedness in a good way. You’re a good person and deserve a good life. Celebrate the real life you have.
Mark….because …..it’s Cream…..thanks for posting

Oookaayy here…Laurie A,’s friend…..just eggactully with whom are we to believe here….I’m seeing the “Three Faces of Eve”………………
Debbe, good morning and enjoy your well-deserved rest. Saw my orthopedist Friday and he said this thing comes off on Nov. 21st. Yay!
Don’t blame Ted Turner for programs disappearing off your satellite. All his old channels belong to Time-Warner, which is currently trying to sell itself to Comcast. Under anti-trust laws, how can programmers be owned by competing rebroadcast companies? Seems like a clear conflict of interest to me as they would cut sweetheart deals for their owners and then raise rates to their owner’s competitors.
I am on the same service, probably. Do you have D**h? Their Blockbuster on Demand has lots of good free stuff. Plenty of recent Disney/Pixar releases, etc.
Steve…I just learned a very dear friend of mine will be having a liver biopsy….they discovered a tumor on her liver…..I’m very happy your SIL’s new liver is ‘transplanting’ well, she will be on anti this and anti that for the rest of her life….and how is the kidney transplant doing?
When I lived in Corpus, I worked for a non-profit organization that raised money for children’s heart transplants…one particular family benefited, unfortunately, as all the son’s were born with a congenital heart disease….I became close friends to one son who had benefited from a heart transplant….
gotta go….too many sad memories here…………….
Debbe, I loved the Apostle. Village, I’m glad that it wasn’t just me and I’m very glad that the kindness and support behind our remarks has been expressed a bit better than I was capable of doing. I’m sure that we all hope that something positive comes from this.
Yup…..the envelope says D–h…thanks Mark, gonna check it out.
Having some company this afternoon….hopefully, my husband’s other nephew will be coming out for a hot dog grill out…he has six children. 🙂
Good, I did too Jerry, have you seen the movie “Assassination Tango”? Duvall wrote, produced and starred in both movies…..
Debbe, I could have said much more, but it’s Lily’s story to tell (or not). I mentioned some specifics, including that I’m Laurie’s friend, for Lily’s sake. Passcodes, truth serum, whatever you want to call it.
so Debbe, you have Dish? I had to immediately go out and get Comcast to get Turner Classic Movies back in the house, we’re FoxNews people so nothing else was a problem, although I do like Cartoon Network Adult Swim sometimes. For some long ago reason I had Comcast internet and phone but Dish for TV, turns out it was only $10 to turn on Comcast TV for our computers and iPads, it’s having the HD DVRs that run the bill up. My wife has nasty cancer that’s “not going to get any better” and TCM is a small joy in her life. Really steamed me too, when I come home I put the channel on TCM before even turning the TV on. I get Jeopardy in the DVR, it’s on the local CBS affiliate and I don’t want to take a chance on even seeing any CBS news when I turn the TV on
You can never know who is who on the internet… even if Laurie A.” friend is real. (I am guessing probably). I have been using my “scroll” button a lot on my mouse lately, so it does not bother me. From time to time we all share health concerns, family situations, fascinating tidbits (a cornucopia of useless information) and frankly some really great laughs. I enjoy being here and have been since the beginning. Except for Facebook, it is the only place where I “chat” with folks that I do not know…but in some ways do KNOW.
My son’s marathon last week brought back a flood of memories of all of my marathons. I was even the Elite Runner Coordinator for several years in Detroit. In 2002, I lost my job the day before race weekend in a very unfair manner. On race day a runner finished 3rd that I never heard of and the 4th place runner, a former runner and a guy I had grown to trust told me that the 3rd place guy never passed him. It took a few days to sort out, but the 3rd place runner admitted that he may have taken a short cut. I took a little criticism for taking my time, but considering the manner that I lost my job, I felt everyone deserves a fair shake.
That memory made me think of Rosie Ruiz, who cheated and for a few days “won” the Boston Marathon. People like that have existed for quite a long time.
BTW, I DO live in Royal Oak, I DO love to sing and I DO have a strange sense of humor….Oh yeah I don’t drink either.
Just got Jersey Boys on Apple TV it’s the movie about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, a fascinating American story, but try as they might, let’s face it, no one is going to sound like the real thing
John….been interested in seeing “Jersey Boys”….now I have too….loved their song “oh, won’t you stay…..just a little bit longer……”…guess where I’m going now 🙂
Mark……………because…………..it’s guitar hero day:

Debbe, missed that one but I’ll be sure to see it.
Jerry, Mr. Duvall actually studied and dances the tango…I believe you’ll enjoy the movie.
Finally saw the feral cats’ two kittens, a fluffy gray and a fluffy cream and apricot one, they were chasing mama and mama was trying to escape them. We need to set our humane traps and try to catch them, the dog sitter and I. I will get them “fixed” and we can put them inside my house in cage to tame them. But we have to catch them first. I saw little gray one up eating outside my office yesterday, sitter saw the apricot one.
Need to get mama fixed, the kitty, not my mama! She looks pregnant again, the kitty mama, not mine.
Mine is out picking green beans!
Love, Jackie
Jackie….I’d bring you a couple of trays (60 eggs) for just one green been supper with taters AND with some bacon fat…………………………
My mom used to fix a meal out of new peas and new potatoes…with a cream mixture……anyone know? I think corn starch was used a lot back then.

I’ve copied and pasted so much I have no idea who…but the theme remains the same……
Springteen’s ‘Human Touch” …….don’t know, but then again….it could be Carly’s “It’ the stuff that dream’s are made of…”
Jackie….you come to mind when I hear Carly’s “Stuff that dreams are made of”….you, have come a long way………………..
Leaving for Gainesville, back Tuesday evening.
