Dear Katya,

You're not a "real" blonde, are you? I'm just wonderin' why you're trying to act like one.

The only thing darker than your roots is your heart, I'm thinkin'.

P.P.S. A helpful hint: It's not good to be drunk when you're pluckin' yer eyebrows.

Fifty Bucks




Hmmm, at first it was worth nothin'

Then it was worth $564


I should've sold out when I had the chance.

OTOH, I've been accused of selling out anyway, so....



UPDATE: Just checked this blog with the ValueMyWeb site (second link)

All is not lost; this blog has increased in value on that site by six bucks!

nescience

nescience \NESH-uhn(t)s; NESH-ee-uhn(t)s\, noun:
Lack of knowledge or awareness; ignorance.



I think Dictionary.com is putting these words up just because they've come to this blog after seeing that I link to them.

Oh well, can't blame 'em when they describe it so well.

Old Farmer's Wisdom

From the email archives:



* Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.

* Keep skunks and bankers and lawyers at a distance.

* Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

* A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.

* Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.

* Meanness don't jes' happen overnight.

* Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.

* Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.

* It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.

* You cannot unsay a cruel word.

* Every path has a few puddles.

* When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

* The best sermons are lived, not preached.

* Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway.

* Don't judge folks by their relatives.

* Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

* Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll enjoy it a second time.

* Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin' you none.

* Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

* If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

* Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

* The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin'.

* Always drink upstream from the herd.

* Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

* Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.

* If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.

* Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply.

Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

I Promise I Will

Will Rogers Never Met Me

A fool and his money are soon elected.

A holding company is a thing where you hand an accomplice the goods while the policeman searches you.

All I know is just what I read in the papers, and that's an alibi for my ignorance.

America is becoming so educated that ignorance will be a novelty. I will belong to the select few.

Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.

Chaotic action is preferable to orderly inaction.

Diplomacy is the art of saying "Nice doggie" until you can find a rock.

Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.

Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.

Everything is funny, as long as it's happening to somebody else.

If you are interested in our acquaintence, please, write me on my e-mail address: preety1girla@googlemail.com I will tell you more about me and my life.

Dear Eva,

I'm sorry, but I don't like these letters without photos. I won't even make fun of yours and am only publishing it as so to make your email address available for the spambots.

Regards,
Mike
