humble pi

I'm humbled by the right-brain endowed — artists, musicians, writers of fiction, etc. (I'm so left-brained that I even outline my grocery list.)

may i ask?

LOL

I am very visually dyslexic. With phone numbers there are no context cues for order, especially now that the first 3 don't even match the area the person lives in. When I'm tired, a simple phone number is all it takes to bring me right back to my 7 year old self.

Hola, Pepe

Pepe, welcome back! Your Pepeness was missed by all of us. If not your cat.

Still searching for the right brainy quote.

Why didn't the person who fed

Why didn't the person who fed your cat water your plants??

(p.s. I have a good trick for keeping plants watered while you're gone--if you're interested!)

I wonder... Is it the trick

I wonder...

Is it the trick with the plastic botle?

String

It involves a piece of string.

Thats very clever, i should have thought of it.

You just did!

Well, I think you just did because I didn't specify what to do with said string.  But I guess that mechanically -inclined mind of yours has figured it out.  You run a piece of string between a container of water and your plant and the water leeches in.  Not exactly the best way to water a plant since most should not sit in continuously damp soil, but it's better than having them wither away...

Singing the site eclectic

Donuts, butch blowjobs, and string theory all on one site. Impressive.

I saw this in the sidebar and literally LOL'd.  If I'd been drinking something I would have sprayed it all over the computer.

LMAO

Cats are verrrrry sensitive - your kitty really is telling you how much she missed you...give her a big kiss. She'll forgive you, eventually.

The thing is that at first he

The thing is that at first he was "belonging" to one of my neighbor who move away and left him.

That must remind him bad memories.

" What thing makes you most humble? "

The love of my handicapped baby sister........ Even though she journeyed back into God's arms too soon - I will always be in awe of her courage, and her innate ability to teach others what love, patience, and faith truly is....

I am humbled to have shared her very young wisdom.

My telescope...

... or more accurately, what I see with it on a chilly and cloud free night away from cities and other sources of evening light pollution.

It definitely puts my existence in the multiverse into perspective.

Palin on O?

Seems Oprah Winfrey is going to have Sarah Palin on her show on November 16, to promote her new book.

Wonder what everyone will find under their seats on that episode? Laughing out loud

Joanne Robertson's picture

I hope Oprah

asks her some real questions, but I won't hold my breath.  No doubt it will be a pre-agreed, hype-fest interview ... with an audience full of SP fans.

MacLass_19's picture

That would be nice....

But, I think that you're right Joanne. I can't see Sarah Palin accepting, or participating in, a format that would make her look like a fool.... again.
