Your lovely sketch is a welcome place in my soul!

Thank you for posting this. I have been collecting art for years and the best pieces are in my mind because he ones I love the most are the ones like yours that have touched me in my heart. Bless you!

Now this makes me sick!

Not 3 days ago I was standing in Jim Banks office trying to get much needed veteran assistance for
my brother and I didn't know I was in a cesspool
but I should have known. What a jerk.

What is wrong with everybody?

I saw it this weekend with my best friend who is basically "a prude" and she and I loved it. What did you expect? Have any of you ever seen a cat? Then you should already have known what cats DO. And the music was wonderful. Grow up. There was nothing unexpected in a movie with that title.

Where do hoosiers go to find these groups?

Don't I know it!!

If I actually sat here and told you about MY family and what kind of lunatics and pathetic jerks they are you would send the van with the guys in the white coats armed with straight jackets to round them all up and find padded cells for all of them. Families can kill members of their own with just words or neglect and it HURTS!!!

I keep telling people who want to know....

but nobody believes me. I grew up in Mayberry with Andy and Opie. No, not the one in the tv show but my own Mayberry in my own childhood that was so similar to Opies that I can still hear the criclets and the frogs and smell the livestock over the fence. There was a tiny general store smaller than the one in the Waltons about 45 feet away from our home and it had a potbelly stove in the back for winter days where farmers and friends gathered to talk after dark. There was a big candy counter in the front and almost every family, about 20 or so, had accounts they paid once a month. I don't remember ever locking a door or not knowing everybodys name. There was a church and a school with all 12 grades in one building and the basketball team and baseball team and track team all had local championship trophies that are still there in a beautiful hand built display where the ball diamond used to be before it was all torn down. It was heaven but nobody knew it. It still is only now I do know it and I drive by there often and shut the car off and listen for the cheer squads and the the crickets and the silence over
head. I visit it in my mind everyday of my life no matter where I am or what I am doing. I wish the property I grew up in was for sale but it isn't. I would go to the back yard and toss an old blanket on the yard in the dark and look up at the Milky Way with my dad the way we used to do until

At least he really wanted gun control !

I was watching a 50 year old black and white movie
and on the credits it said: "Members of NRA we do our part." It's a virus,something in the water.

OH!! YES,yes,yes! I thinks about that verything a lot.

We could have avoided W if the Big Dog had been re-electable. We could have avoided Trump to keep Obama. We could have saved our environment and given Al Gore the support he needed to clean it up. We could have given our children and grand children a planet to inherit instead of the sludge and plastic world we are leaving them. Why the hell not get rid of the electoral college? It serves no purpose beyond giving one really fucked up corrupt party power over all of the rest of us. Yes we really do need to do this.

My very first day and very first post on DU!!

And you get the honor of me replying to your hilarious comment!! I was eating a chicken salad sandwich and I want to thank you for the chunk that went up my nose when I read your post when I started laughing at the visual you gave me. A outie pussy! I take it you from your name and your wording and you are a man (I could be Wrong!) and know nothing about outie pussies and since I am a lady I will tell you the visual is still funny enough yo drive that piece of chicken up my nose where it may never come out. Thanks for the Funny!!
