[:D] HUUUUhuuu Now should this old owl be afraid though he had no Gown of Gauze -No Ringlet, to his Hair,Nor hopped to Audiences - like Birds,One Claw upon the Air ?... What's that moving in FFL corner What's that shadow on the FFL wall Should he be afraid, should he be scared It really is nothing at all But he saw something in the corner A shadow crossed the wall It's just his imagination Look! It's just him the old merudanda owl (whooo) Nay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iqmba7npY8g&feature=related
Cannot resist to quote this lovely poem by Emily Dickinson (written about 1862),tooShe sights a Bird - she chuckles - She flattens - then she crawls - She runs without the look of feet - Her eyes increase to Balls - Her Jaws stir - twitching - hungry - Her Teeth can hardly stand - She leaps, but Robin leaped the first - Ah, Pussy, of the Sand, The Hopes so juicy ripening - You almost bathed your Tongue - When Bliss disclosed a hundred Toes - And fled with every one - what would scare this old Owl here at FFL? May be a Pussycat with hiccups? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8SdQT2tdJ8 [:D] --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Emily Reyn <emilymae.reyn@...> wrote: > > <snip> > NONE of the advertised "get rid of mole" products and > cures work, except one.

The neighbors have even thanked me for the good work "Alfonso" does. I wait for the possums to take the carcasses - there are too many to keep up with. > > You must read Judy's posts, because you comment on her posts frequently. I don't see her *asking* for the put-downs, but I do see her *defending* herself, and if you can't handle it like a gentleman, than "oh well." Why should she pretend to be less intelligent and articulate and debate-worthy than she is to assuage another's ego. I mean really, she hasn't *destroyed* you yet, has she, after all these years of the back and forth between you? She never "lied" about why Ravi was removed - "she is demented" you say - he was removed for more than one reason, IMO. Intimating that she might "Google-bomb" someone (whatever that means) is simply malicious. She's one of the few here who use their real name, btw. The power you give her is pretty funny actually - she has never indicated she wanted to *destroy* anyone as her purpose in posting. Yes, she doesn't like you and disputes much of what you say as manipulation of truth, etc., but she does > this in present time. It may be because you and she have shared internet forums for many years and this has resulted in your various opinions about each other solidifying in opposition, or it may be that she simply presents an ongoing alternative viewpoint to yours, or of your behavior, in present time as it continues. Btw, why is it that when women disagree or advocate their position, it's called "arguing"? I had a recent sub-contractor in my house who accused me of "arguing" - I told his boss to let him know I was "negotiating." I got what I wanted, and he shook my hand on the way out. > > Long day, I've been on a bit of a roll. Just trying to keep things in balance.
