@Beckdawrek Re: boring book Donate it. Return it to the library. Burn it. There is already so much you have to do that is unpleasant. Why subject yourself to more unpleasantness? I’d love to see your old MAD magazines! I forced myself to read “Pride and Prejudice,” although I think I aged ten years. That was the most inane, boring blather, and the only way I could keep myself from falling asleep was by repeating, “THIS is supposed to be good literature?” I have to be captivated, or I won’t bother. ~VOW ---

Dude! You should see me this morning. I’m at the Surgeons office. They just put me in a treatment room to get un-stapled. I wore a baggy teeshirt and leggings. (Baggy shirt reads: “Bad choice, kinda sorta”) The baggy shirt so I can just pull it up and not have to remove it for this un-stapling business. Leggings because the Lil’wrekker wouldn’t let me wear shorts with my new rainbow Crocs. She has serious mis-givings about my ability to dress myself properly. I just don’t know how I’m gonna manage when she leaves. @VOW , I am officially not reading anymore of that book. I removed my ace of spades card bookmark, and threw it to the back of my closet shelf. @Gatopescado , the question is “If you were me…?” ---

1. Tell me about crocs. I’ve never had any. They look like plastic cages for my feet and that sounds unpleasant. Are they comfy? 2. Keep the book for when you wanna sleep but can’t. Get something else for fun reading. Heck - send me some notes on what you like and I’ll send you a box. I’m tripping over the things and need to prune the collection. 3. Nothing is wrong with green and purple (or pink with red). Orange, now. Orange doesn’t belong on clothes. 😉 ---

They are microbial and antibacterial, too! @Sunny_Daze, I’ll PM you my address. I like any mystery or biography. ---

Y’all are so wrong. The lil’wrekker tells me they are on fashion runways allover😳 College types are wearing them to class. Don’t matter to her. She hates them. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > College types are wearing them to class. Then College Types have dirty feet. The rubber makes you sweat, and the sweat makes dirt stick to your feet, and the dirt makes your feet… well, you get the idea. Nope. Only good for walkin’ to the creek or beach, and into the water to wash the mook of your filthy hooves. But, hey. All-ya’ll can do as you want. I’m not the Boss of You. Your kid hating them is the most sensible thing I’ve ever heard about her. ---
