Delicious as usual, TF!

When you get through, the "emperor" not only has no clothes, he has no skin.

It could all be in the way that line is delivered.

Perhaps if it's done with a gentle, lilting voice, a sweet little smile, a twinkle in the eye, and maybe a wee shrug or nod of the head, then it's harder for the recipient to take umbrage.

It's all in the delivery. Schtick can be rather disarming.

LOVE how those questions are worded.

They're trying to influence the answers by the way they describe what you're expected NOT to like anyway. Push that button and the targeted dogs will start to salivate.

Wonder why they're calling NC Democrats? Do they really think they can pick off any votes from Democrats? Trying to muddy the waters or something? Psy-ops of some sort - destabilize the opposition in some way? What's the objective here, I wonder? I'd guess their time would be wasted, calling North Carolina Dems.

It suggests they think they know the right buzzwords to use and buttons to push.

Happy Birthday, virgogal!

Eighty-five HUGS!

I saw that photo - MAGNIFICENT! No wonder it was an award-winner!

Condolences on the loss of Mellow, also. Each one of these gets harder.

Happy Birthday, trof!

Only 66, but gotta admit, I think about that EVERY day. "When does my number come up?"

Exactly. We're lucky to be alive as a species by 2090.

That's likely to be settled WAY sooner than 2090. By maybe half a century.

Nor mine!

Not on MY watch, either!!!

That's why Jay Inslee's campaign really spoke to me.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
