That's right, Kabu! Why did he run away from me? And why wasn't he holding the balloon by its string?

Assuming he was actually invited, Frankenkitty, he'd then be entitled to that party balloon.

Well, be that as it may, Scriber ... even if my gardener were planning a criminal act,
I seriously doubt he would tell me about it.

Grandma here you be careful and tell other members of the family. I don't

Re: Two bad he wasn't planning a major heist. Better story I think. Or he
could have been planning to come back and rap you when things quieted down.

quick wit!
liquid, solid, and gas... but then, see, they are all one of the same. Deep.
p.s. my political professor always said: "there are three kinds of people in the world. Those who go out and try a make a different, those who don't care, and the rest who walk about and wonder 'what happened!' all day."

Not that I go that route ...
But Morgan Webb has a way better body than Norah Jones. Not even close! No comparison.

Her body is too big.
She
does look like a variation of Norah Jones-- they have the same hair.

She's the co-host of this show I watch ...
She's not pretty per se, but I think she's cool because:
a) she's really funny.
b) she has an interesting voice.
c) she looks like a witch (all she needs is the pointy hat and a broom).

I'm not really familiar with Morgan Webb.
But, of course, I googled. She does have some nice pictures, but some strange ones, too. Not exactly my type, though.
Why?
I didn't really like Adrienne, either. She was really funny, but I just didn't think she deserve 1st place.

Probably not, bandana.
And I didn't care for Adrienne, actually. She was kinda low class and mannish, imo.
P.S. Do you like Morgan Webb?

If you were really poor, would you consider being a gardener?
I heard cycle 1 winner of ANTM, Andrianne Curry, actually took on some gardening job
after she won the show (when she was home, waiting for the last episode to air.)

I figure tossing in little details like that helps create a mental picture without "bogging things down" too much or disrupting the conversational flow.

It sounded like you had a serial killer, or at least a bandido, in your garden and that you were about to expose him (since he didn't expose himself).

Yes, I did (and replied), fair Mademoiselle.
I'm sitting on my edge, waiting for that "important" one (while cleaning my nostrils, with my finger... and eating chips.)

Your mother was probably just feeling graciously hospitable.
Or maybe he had a gardening job nearby, and thought he'd come to
see you.
