I knew a girl named Brie. Unlike the moon, she was not made of cheese though. So, were there any other celestial bodies that were supposed to be made of food? Was Venus ever supposed to be just a big chunk of lettuce?
When I was in school (college in my late 30’s) I knew a girl named Fawn and a girl named Spring! Tell your parents…the '60’s are over! Come with us into the 21st century! 
I have no idea if Venus is supposed to be made of lettuce, but I’ll make a bet that there are no Venutians with really cool vintage leather jackets. There are probably Venetians out there with some pretty chic vintage duds, though.
Amazing the difference one letter makes, isn’t it? If you’re Venetian, you’re from a city with lots of canals. If you’re Venutian, you’re from another planet.
Speaking of Venice–man, I’d love to learn Italian.
Seems to me, Venice is just an example of bad planning. I guess their pollution from automotive exhaust isn’t a problem though.
That or you are a mini-blind.
Speaking of mini-blinds, I need to put up the curtains in one of the rooms of my apartment. The room’s not being used for anything but storage at the moment. But I’m sure I’d use it for something if only I had curtains on the windows.
Right now, the room’s closed off. That’s because, if I left the door open, the entire neighborhood could see my naked self as I walk from the bathroom to the bedroom after taking a shower.
And forget Venice–the plumbing in my apartment is an example of bad planning.
My father is a crutain freak. Every window in the house must have overly thick curtains so no one can see in. The best is the upstairs bathroom, that has curtains, and a pull down shade. And you can’t even see in that window from the outside.
A crutain freak?! And what, pray tell, is a crutain? A cruton with its own drapery?
We have a really big window in the family room.
My family room is partially underground.
Is it really? Do you have flooding problems, then, or is the water table sufficiently low (or your waterproofing sufficiently strong) to keep moisture out of your family room?
There’s nothing worse than permanent moisture in a house. Nothing. The mold–oh, is it ever awful. If you didn’t have allergies to mold before, after living in a damp place for a while, you will.
Right now, my window looks out on traffic. But it’s not quite dark and deserted enough for me to do an impression of Elisabeth of Wied. (aka Carmen Sylva) She was Rumania’s first Queen Consort, and devoted her life to the arts.

Wait a second–wouldn’t a Queen Consort be a guy married to the Queen? After all, the Prince Consort is a non-royal woman married to a prince, right?
But, really, do royalty play any significant role in current politics? To what extent is Romania’s royalty (if it still exists–and, no, I’m too lazy to Google it right now) at all involved with the country’s affairs?
Well, I guess the water table is low and the waterproofing is good, because there never has been any mold/moisture problems.
Maybe, but would your family room be fit for a Queen Consort, whatever that might be?
I don’t think that my family room is fit for any kind of royalty.
my family room is completely decorated with bird paraphanelia. my mother likes birds. the clock, the fan, the wallpaper, the pictures, even a shelf…they all have birds.
my house is surrounded on three sides by a wildlife center, so we get lots of birds in our backyard. we used to have a birdbath, but rabid raccoons kept using it. and every spring canadian geese come in our yard and swim in our itty bitty pond with their babies. a few got stuck there and couldn’t get out, and we’d have to try to save them without touching them,because if we touched them, they’d smell like us and their parents wouldn’t take themback. but its so wonderful to watch the baby birds grow throughout the spring and summer. now they’re grown, and they’ve taken to walking through the streets and standing there, not even noticing that cars are honking incessantly at them. we also had a herd of turkeys in the neighborhood one year, and a fox that i think attacked/killed? most of them, as they disappeared one by one.
There were a lot of rabid raccoons around here a few years back. They dropped traps and food with rabies vaccine in them to stop it from spreading.
Say…look at the time. I really ought to quit reading and get some sleep.
Usually I dont go to bed until closer to 5:30 am.
