Would love to participate! Back in the days of desks & tests, I was ace at spelling 😁
You'll be fantastic, without a single doubt.

You gotta keep the skip in the LP until the message becomes a chant & can be offered as a round :)

The old kitchen sink
Each small scratch, dent, flaw & scar
Imprints for our lives
Faded sixties formica
Once a housewife's new red pride ❤️‍🩹

Never thought you would
ink up your skin with tattoos
Is this your black swan?
Try as I might to unsee
My tattooed ballet daughter 🖤

Directed many notable films, including your old theater pal in Biloxi Blues!
Thanks for the book recommendation ♡

May good weather & good times await you in Mother England 🇬🇧 Safe travels ❤️

‘The Body Politic’ - Chapter 13 is posted!

Myld is introduced to the place where ‘the deed’ will be done, and Phibber learns of someone who can investigate the killings

A pinch of 'Yes, Minister', a dash of 'The Walking Dead', and a heaped spoonful of 'Discworld'.

You ask of these tears
My back turns to wind torn waves
Sand grit still reaches
Conveying past grains of truth
I'd rather not recognize

Does his warped brain ever stop scheming, wheeling & dealing, & warring?!

What's the bet Trump used that movie as inspiration (with a Trump endorsed alternative ending though)

Youssou N'Dour - 7 Seconds ft. Neneh Cherry YouTube video by NCherryYNDourVEVO

Is this Afrikaans, (Youssou N'Dour singing) or a dialect of same?

I've always loved the Mahogany theme song!

Your sarcasm is sincerely delightful!
(And helps to temporarily offset the mind boggling seriousness of this accelerating situation we're all an uninvited part of 😩)

He's running out of rhetoric.

Thank you 🙏 My mother was a fluent writer & wordsmith. Being right handed, her holding of the fountain pen meant it did not "scratch" on paper, as my awkward left-handedness did 😩

I inherited
my dear mother's fountain pen
scratch scrawling my heart
in black ink like the bereft
orphaned adult-child I was

Shut the gate
Too late
DJT's a reprobate.

she needs him
her family of insecurity
he needs her
she's not a racy girl
he's sensitive
raised to respect

their union will be blessed
distant promise church bells

the kids just see love
their sky is blue

In NZ it is currently $3.30 per LITER (just under one quarter of a gallon)
Therefore we'd be paying approx $12/gallon.
What's even worse is that our dollar is only worth half of the US $.
Also we're at the bottom of the world so any freight delivery is a heck of a lot more expensive getting here.

Today, a federal judge told Trump to stop building his ballroom. Come review the opinion with me, because it's a sort of smackdown for the administration and you'll want to understand what it means! Our house. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Did he respond? I so want to hear his "screw you, Judge; I'm Donald {King} Trump".

(He's as) crazy as a two-bob watch.
(Old Australasian idiom from the 60s)

Airports are in chaos, energy prices are skyrocketing, stocks are in free fall, Iran has killed 13 Americans and injured 200 more and is striking our gulf allies, but…

"...force ourselves upon them" 🤡

Every day brings more confusion & skewered logic.

This conduct contract
Squashes spontaneity
Too straight laced for me
