I apparently have the amazing ability to be the last person to post on threads I start. I’m afraid that’s really tacky and am therefore embarassed. So here I am confessing in hopes I can be absolved and the curse removed. ---

So here I am confessing in hopes I can be absolved and the curse removed. There is nothing tacky about that at all. It would only be tacky if you were the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth person to post to a thread you started as well as being the last. This is something I’ve never done, but it really sounds like fun! I hope nobody else tries to do it before I do!!! 😃 ---

Pink Flamingoes? 🙂 Actually, I’ve been begging my husband to allow me to put plastic flamingos on the balcony, but he’s against it. I do have American flag Chuck Taylors that go with absolutely nothing and clash with everything. I wear my wisdom tooth around my neck. Whatcha got? ---

Big Mouth Billy Bass? Child’s play. How about a giant transparent yellow sports bottle that makes any liquid inside look like urine? ---

Bah. How about a framed 24" x 36" poster of my wife and I kissing at our wedding in the living room? ---

A little cow on a keychain that has a hole in it’s backend. When you squeeze it this gooey, sticky brown stuff comes out. ---

Oh yeah, and worse than that I have an erasure shaped like a Saturn V rocket that is the perfect size for my officemate to stick up the cow’s end. ---
