"Frog Applause reminds one of learning to read, in the sense that each word in the captions seems 'surprising' and new. Teresa's writing takes one back to that fresh state of mind (typical of, but of course not limited to, childhood) in which the brain, free of preconceptions, doesn't 'fill in' any blind spots along the way but rather wholly embraces the present moment as it unfolds. Every sentence is literally an imagination-expanding adventure." — Craig Conley, author of One-Letter Words: A Dictionary (HarperCollins)

There really are anatomically correct, inflatable sheep that you can buy. I’m not aware of any similar goat product, however.

What’s with all the ”Timmy’s” all of a sudden. Did someone just invent a new fad that I’m clueless to? I know what it means, btw. ← Know that one too !

Reminds me of the story of Cholmondeley. Can’t repeat it here…. Funny, though.

I don’t think I want to know the answer to “What’s got your goat?” No, really, I don’t.

I’d say something, but my comments have been getting flagged a lot lately and I’m trying to be more G rated……as if! Oh, and technically it’s not cheating.

From the blog, Edward Gorey’s page, there’s TMI for you.

Confession may be good for the soul, but it can be really bad for the reputation.

Gives new meaning to separating the sheep from the goats.

Only one word comes to mind:
BAAAAAA!
gabrielmcgrath said, about 1 month ago
“Baaaaaa” means No!
P.S. Hey “ejcapulet”… don’t you mean “Ewe, ewe, ewe!!”

At least it wasn’t a flatulent goat.
Burgundy2 said, about 1 month ago
If it’s full of gas, wouldn’t that mean it is flatulent?
Hugh B. Hayve said, about 1 month ago
If you ask him, “How was it?” He’ll probably say, “not baaaaad”.

Does “top the swine” have anything to do with an inflatable pig?
Teresa, I’ll pray for you and the doctor. Get well soon.

I thought Swine Flu was just some kind of myth the government made up to trick us into getting vaccines we don’t need.

Flight Suit In 76 Jerry Ford warned of a mass infection of Swine Flu. About a quarter of America fell for it and got vaccinated, killing 500. No flu was reported
Yukoneric said, about 1 month ago
Ms Theresa, we miss you. From a fan who used to live where “Men are men and sheep are scared”.
jackmatt said, about 1 month ago
Lewreader - in 76 Swine Flu was isolated from recruits at Fort Dix, NJ. Three elderly people died after getting the vaccination at the same clinic - no evidence that the vaccination and the deaths were related. More likely that the deaths were related to something specific to the clinic, not the vaccine. The deaths and risks of the vaccine were wildly exaggerated by the press,, and the myth lives on. Perhaps the ‘76 vaccination program was ill-advised, but even given your ‘500 deaths’ out of 40 million vaccinated - pretty small collateral damage considering the risk of a 1918-like pandemic - it’s a very complicated risk/benefit equation with no ‘right’ answer.

T., Hang in there girl. Wish I could think of something witty and buck-upish to say. I’m keeping you in my thoughts and sending all the positive energy your direction that I can…

Sisyphos said, about 1 month ago
Best wishes for your speedy return to health, Teresa!
IsisDreamer said, about 1 month ago
T, I just recovered from my bout with the Swine Flu, and I sympathize. It really sucks the first 7 days or so, but once your fever breaks it’s all down hill from there. I held my 104 - 105 fever for 6 days. Get plenty of rest, drink ALOT of Gatorade and don’t over do it when you first start feeling better.. GET WELL SOON.
ed-in-toledo said, about 1 month ago

An update from someone who knows Miss D. personally would be nice. Being hospitalized is serious.

Your goat’s here, safe with me, Teresa.
I’d be glad to keep her for a few more days, if you’d like.
P.S. Great car! Just don’t go out with your head uncovered for a few more days.
