Oh, Homina- you're always in the back of my mind. I'm not very good at doing those stream of consciousness things. We animal lovers stick together.

Don't fret. Me, either.

You were in there, ya 'tard.

Nothing, really. It would just be nice to have some beautiful relief every once in awhile. The last time that happened to me was when I saw The Fellowship of the Ring for the first time in the movie theater {GASP!}. That took my breath away.

That is too true. However, Jill, for sweethearts like you things must seem sunnier. You always have such a pleasant spirit. It's admirable.

It's hard not being cynical, since most people are @$$holes.

I hear ya on that one, babe.

Your advice is always solicited, mah dear. Oddly enough, I think my malaise is due to the fact that I am an eternal romantic-type optimist and things either let me down or rarely reach my desired level. Maybe I'm more ennui than pessimistic.

Honey- it means that I think that people may see you as something lighter and more superficial than how I see you. People tend to underestimate severe Chiffonheads as classic flakes. I think you're made of a lot more that that.

I thought you were forty-nine going on fifty??? Who knew??

"You wait, old man, on an empty stage
For fate to turn the lights off
Your life, old man, is a tawdry novel
Full of men who wanted to get off…

You are forty-nine going on fifty
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware, be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink (of alzheimers)

You are forty-nine going on fifty
Fellows will fall in line
Eager young lads and rogues and cads
Will expect to buy them food and wine

Totally unprepared are you
To face a world without men
Timid and shy and scared are you
Of things beyond your den

You need someone older and wiser
Telling you what to do
I am fifty-three going on fifty-four
Honey, I'll take care of you"

BTW - did you ever see the doc. "Grey Gardens" about Jackie Kenney's insane mother and daughter cousins. That will be us one day and you are Big Edie.

I have seen that one. I would say it was depressing, except for the fact that that woman was so out of it mentally, that I sure she had no idea how awful her life was. Personally, I'm hoping for a slow slide into non-reality as well.
