I KNOW WHAT’S AT THE TOP OF MY LIST! Well, Thanksgiving is upon us once again here in the States, and hopefully many people will treat it as the special holiday it’s meant to be.

WOUNDS LICKED... HEAD ( SOMEWHAT ) CLEARED Back from the dead? Not quite. Back from the brink? Perhaps. But I shall do my best to forge ahead. It’s nice to know people appreciate the effort... Sign in to see full entry.

Drained . . doleful . . distressed . . dismayed. Somewhat frustrated too C

CHANGE MAY BE IN THE AIR... I believe the fun and excitement, the curiosity and enlightenment, the challenges and aspirations, are quickly fading... Mind a million miles away now, almost completely preoccupied. Tired of the insults too. Talk about driving people away... Sign in to see full entry.

C'mon, everybody! Time to start the week off with a chuckle or two . . .

STEP RIGHT UP, TAKE A CHANCE... AND WIN SOME LAUGHS! We all love Fridays but we also hate Mondays! Oh, it’s not so bad... * The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow, And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?

Do these fall under the heading "Strange But True" . . . or just strange?

THESE’LL LEAVE YOU SHAKING YOUR HEAD... Okay, folks. Time to break out your weird-o-meters! Let’s see if I can widen those eyes and raise an eyebrow or two with these recent articles...
