Living is the most important part. Blogging is a good thing to do when you get around to it. <br /><br />I'm glad you had a period of contentment over the fall and winter and I'm sorry to hear that the pain is back and your friend MaryEllen is so sick. (Not to mention houseless friends, etc.)<br /><br />Thanks for the St Paddy's day cartoon. I really liked it.<br /><br />MoonRavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03010194761440202586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744889144101573638.post-58324305496952721062015-03-16T19:04:47.731-04:002015-03-16T19:04:47.731-04:00Your Yamminess- It's a nice gift.

I hit a brick wall and it was scary to think I had nothing to say. But that's passing.<br /><br />We're working on legalization here. I just emailed my State Senator today. Probably not this session (ends in May) but next session... can't be soon enough for me.<br /><br />You too, and top o'the mornin to ye!Austanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568578637922817033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744889144101573638.post-28289281717716673952015-03-16T18:58:45.203-04:002015-03-16T18:58:45.203-04:00Lawless- that's what really cracked me up- she...Lawless- that's what really cracked me up- she tells her daughter she got it from a thrift shop!

I had nobody to point at it and say, "What the hell?!" and then laugh at it together. I got a witness today, even better because it's her daughter. Then I told Allyson, and now it's hilarious! xAustanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568578637922817033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744889144101573638.post-58942490403393000802015-03-16T14:00:06.526-04:002015-03-16T14:00:06.526-04:00It's so good to get an update from you, kiddo....It's so good to get an update from you, kiddo. I agree with Arleen about that re-gifted present. Maybe that person was low on funds. If nothing else, maybe that gift looked like something you would genuinely like... which is TRUE, right? (I'm sure you wouldn't pick out something for another person that you DIDN'T like...)<br /><br />I'm so sorry about the return of pain. Any chance you can move to Colorado...? <br /><br />Take care. And the luck o' the Irish to you, too.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744889144101573638.post-23372374430274176012015-03-16T09:09:28.698-04:002015-03-16T09:09:28.698-04:00Regifting....a dangerous occupation.

Don't let it hurt you as there was probably no malice intended. <br /><br />What a lovely spring gift it will be for you if your daughter can visit. Hopefully, it will be a time when the snow has left and the smell of spring is in the air.<br /><br />Stay well, dear Laura.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744889144101573638.post-77992594695980243662015-03-16T00:21:38.441-04:002015-03-16T00:21:38.441-04:00Whiffleball bat?

Couple years ago a contentious relative gave Norma a Christmas present transparently regifted --a purse with a used snotrag in it. If we hadn't laughed so hard it would have hurt. You keep up your internal resilience and don't let the rat bastards get to you.
