Solvent and Respectable are my favs!!
XOXO
I love this! It's amazing that you've done 24 of these. You're nuts in the best way possible. Pure genius.
Sixpence: When you find your glasses, don't look at the Sun.....
Deedles: You're nuts in the best way possible
Thanks! That's a very accurate description of me, I think.
These always make me laugh. That's a good thing.
Canine : 50% more than 6 of the best.
Man these challenged me this week - must be getting dimmer.
Jono: Always glad to provide some laughs!
Phat: I'd be more likely to re-define that as "almost ten in California" or similar -- remember I'm going by spelling with these, not pronunciation.
Lady M: I hope it's rather that I'm getting brighter.....
We need a solvent right now. The big question would be who can get close enough to open it?
We'd have to go open it at night.
Patronage and shadow made me snicker :) You're so good at these.
Just when I want to say this that or the other one is my fave, I read a new one lol
Cool, I'll keep on trying to improve the language.....
Post a Comment
Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
From now until the finalization of the election results, no comments claiming the Republicans (or Democrats) will or can "steal" the election. It's pointless to engage with such stuff, and it promotes defeatism, which makes people less likely to vote or otherwise be politically active.
