Treason, Piracy & Counterfeiting

Okay! Okay! So my little trick of the previous post didn't work for everyone. Since I wouldn't want for anyone to be left out and not know the answer to the question about federal crimes listed in the Constitution of the United States of America, and what crimes would warrant one being incarcerated...

333

So, I was sitting here at 3:33 a.m. not sleepy, and a little bit bored, and I noticed this thing called Pinterest which I have noticed before. My curiosity got the better of me, so I pointed and clicked. Of course it was another one of those things that you can't look at unless you join, and though... Sign in to see full entry.

Sleepy Is As Sleepy Does

These days, I fall asleep at the drop of a hat, it seems, at any quiet moment, if I sit down, or relax. I'm sure part of it is due to my age, or to the fact that I stay up pretty much all night, or perhaps it's all in my head. But, anyway, I often wonder what I might look like, or sound like, when I...

No Fly List

Even though Friend Richard is growing a couple of castor bean plants in his back yard in Phoenix, he claims that he has no idea how to make ricin, nor has any desire to know how. He said as much when he posted this picture on his FaceBook site which he accesses from Verizon. So, his FB account has... Sign in to see full entry.

You Gotta Love Him

I can't help but messing with Son Mark's mind sometime. I fixed him some supper this evening and I put this in the middle of his plate. I had to laugh when he got up and went to his bedroom to get his reading glasses to get a good look at it. It took him a while, but he finally figured out he didn't... Sign in to see full entry.

A Year Gone Bye

I have my favorite chair at my place--a Laz-y-boy recliner. Now that Great-Grandbaby is one year old, and her birthday party is over, she has her favorite chair at her house. It is pink and shiny and easy for her to slide in and out of because it is just her size. It is her favorite birthday... Sign in to see full entry.

Watching! Waiting!

How do I know the bird feeder is empty? Actually, they are all over that tree watching, waiting. I just happened to focus in on that one. What they don't know is that I haven't been to the store lately. I'm out of bird feed, out of bread, no cake or cookies. I've either got to go shopping or bake... Sign in to see full entry.

Loon Of The Lake

For I have a song to sing,O! It is sung to the moon By a love-lorn loon, Who fled from the mocking throng,O! It's the song of a merryman moping mum, Whose soul was sad and whose glance was glum Who sipped no sup and who craved no crumb, As he sighed for the love of a ladye! ~ Sir William S. Gilbert...

Morning Sun

Through my window screen one of my birdie guests was doing acrobatics for me and I just had to try to catch him and his antics for you. Actually, I was prompted by my Baby Sis (turning 61 soon) who told me that she uses my pics for background on her Blackberry and that it is time for a new one. She... Sign in to see full entry.

Thirty Years Later

They worked together; they played together in those years aboard the Admiral's Flag Ship, 7th Fleet, the Pacific--the Signalman and the Quartermaster. Always together for three years, Mark and Mark, in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Hawaii..... In the pictures below, they are singing and... Sign in to see full entry.
