Of course mist people don’t really look their best after traversing the maze that is IKEA, so we shan’t hold their poor appearance against them

We ourselves were dressed quite casually and are no raving beauties

But I digress

Which I know you know is totally out of character for me

In fact I would say that most of you would be most surprised to hear I wandered away from my initial subject matter to discuss in detail something that had absolutely nothing to do with the story at hand

Back when I was in junior high , Miss Simmons, my English teacher , who was very keen on oral reports , always stressed the importance of sticking to the subject of your speech and by it wandering off into different topics

Mr. Engle , my 11th grade English teacher, also was a proponent of oral reports and was also a bit of a smart ass

He gave once assigned each of topics which could be interpreted in alternate ways.

I remember Robert Parisi was assigned “Dates on a Dime” and he gave a hilarious speech about how he would take girls out on dates with out sending more than ten cents

I, myself, was given the topic of “Apple polishing”

Most likely because he thought I was a bit of a suck up just because I would read assigned novels all in one go, when we were assigned chapter one

And because I would always participate in class discussions

And because I liked Shakespeare

vixmom · « **Reply #163 on:** July 09, 2022, 08:54:22 PM »

I just loved Reading and talking about what I read

If he saw me in math class he would have seen a sullen, miserable student, cowering in the back hoping to remain invisible

Back from a grand dinner at the Smokehouse. Filet, dinner salad, and creme brûlée.

110%! Next stop, 115%! We've almost covered the fees - I'll go check to see what's what exactly.

We've covered the fees - just barely. But then they withhold eleven hundred bucks for people changing their mind, which I find horrible, since in none of my campaigns has that ever happened. They began doing that about five campaigns ago - thankfully, it's only been a few weeks but they have the right to hold it for six months, so next stop is covering that and then I'm hoping we can keep going on from there because there's so much to be done and I want to do it all and pay down most or all of the big boy bills.

I hope this delightfully clever woman wins her case.

I hope not. There was a case like this in Washington. She lost, big time. The unborn does not take up a separate seat, but shares the driver’s seat. She would have a better chance using her dog as the second rider.
