There Was an Old Woman Who Lived In a Shoe
Jack: You want to live WHERE?! Jill: Oh come on, Jack. It’s perfect for us. We don’t need a big place like we have now. This is close to work and comes from the best store. Jack: No. No way. Nuh-huh. I’m not living in a high-heel. Look, if we have to live in a shoe, I know just the place. Jill: Shreeeeek! No! You’re kidding, right? You won’t make me live THERE will you? Jack: What’s wrong […]
Suzie’s House 68: When the Cover is Blown
No way Christina would have gone to Todd if she’d known he would blow her cover. All she’d wanted was a little advice. Now look. Suzie, Miranda, and Vin sat together on a leather couch in Todd’s basement, looking at her expectantly. Only Drew, the FBI agent, joining them could have made it worse. “So they know you’re CIA,” Todd said. “Get on with it.” “Did you tell them you were too?” She shouldn’t have snapped at him, but couldn’t […]

By George! They’re All Alike. Almost.
Last week and the week before we saw what Fast Eddie could do in the most “dismal” of places. Let’s see what dear old dad can do to him. Hover over the pictures to see the names. The King agreed with The Prince that Brother Edward should get the chance to be a hero. Only not on the European side of the Atlantic. Fortunately there was a kerfluffle with, who else, the French down in the West Indies. Prince Edward […]
Hubris
I already know from previous Tuesdays that no one here is as egotistical as I am. No, don’t argue. You can take it for granted I’m entirely too sure of myself. Most of the time I’m aware of what an pushy individual I am and compensate with the sure knowledge that EVERYONE is special in some way or another. Now and then, however, I set myself up for a fall without even realizing it. I don’t even have to be […]
Square Watermelons
Did you know they have square watermelons in Japan? I didn’t until someone emailed this to me. Check it out. They do this to make it easier to store and ship them. It has absolutely nothing to do with the way a watermelon will try to roll out of the refrigerator and leap at you. What, am I the only one that has happened to? If you’re like me about now you’re wondering how they do that.

Jack Knows Better
Jill: Jack, what are you looking for? Jack: Candy. Jill: You won’t find it among my spices. Jack: I know what I’m dong. Jill: Well all right. Just don’t make a mess. Jack: Ah-hah! I found them. I’ll just take this to the workshop. Jill will never know I swiped one. Jill: Oh, that man! feefifoto Tamy ~ 3 Sides of Crazy CrAzY Working Mom maryt/theteach saturday photo scavenger hunt The rules for Photohunt can be found […]
Suzie’s House 67 : On Our Side, Sort Of
Previously in Suzie’s House, Vin, Suzie, and Miranda followed Christina to a quiet neighborhood behind Woodman’s then watched her enter the house of a man Vin knows. Miranda stifled a giggle as she closed her car door. Clearly she didn’t take this operation very seriously. “Shhhhh!” Suzie hissed, her expression solemn. To Vin’s mixed horror and amazement, the two women dashed to the nearest tree and peeked around like a couple of kids playing hide and seek. If Christina didn’t […]

By Geroge! What More Can Edward Do?
As if turning his solider’s quarters into a place for his mistress wasn’t enough, Prince Edward had to go throwing his weight around. We continue with Mr. Al’s take on the brothers of George IV. His Majesty was not pleased when the press reported the arrival of Prince Edward’s ladyfriend. He was also distraught to learn the that the Royal Fusiliers of Gibraltar had, to a man – NCO’s and enlisted men – mutinied against their commanding officer. […]
Lock Down
I happened to be in a grade school recently when a practice lock down was ordered. At first I didn’t know what was happening. One minute I was passing out juice, the next the teacher had locked the door and turned off the lights. All the kids piled into a corner and sat down. Even I was expected to sit on the floor making as little noise as possible.We remained like that for half an hour. I timed it because […]
