Awakened by a whisper.
She ravaged him till dawn.
Sated and spent, he drifted into sleep.
When his eyes opened, he was alone again.
Just him and the wet spot.

Thursday Portrait.....

.

.

Hi everybody....
I 'm going to be repeating some common knowledge for seasoned veteran bloggers tonight, so please bear with me. Last week someone asked me what Thursday Portrait was all about. Actually it's a "Spin-Off" of a Thursday Theme called HNT..Half Naked Thursday. It was started by a fellow in Montana named OZ. Every Thursday you posted a pic of yourself baring some skin. Now this didn't necessarily mean 'Naked' unmentionable body parts. But you know how some people are, and they got a little carried away. You'd have everyday house wives getting naked on Thursdays and posting the pics for all to see. Including family members and PTA, and Church...yada yada yada. So a couple of years back, Susie, Lime, and a few other's decided to hone it down a bit, and just post a personal pic in our everyday life mode, and call it Thursday Portrait. Of course me being the Blog Whore for my Friday Funfest that I am, I think it's great fun to incorporate an 'Overtly Subliminal' reminder to my minions, about Friday Flash 55! So each week on Thursday, you'll see a pic of my ugly mug, and a reference to 55.....
Yesterday I sold a couple a Silverado Pick/Up, you'll never guess how much it cost to fill it up for delivery.
So now you have...The Rest Of The Story!!
See you on Friday.....Peace...!!!

Retro One Shot.......

.

.

Oh perfect piece of pottery
Harbinger of joyous celebration
You're empty now.....
But it wasn't always such!!
Your belly once brimmed with sugary delights.
Grandma's Recipe's
Mom's Loving Labor
Holiday Nirvana
After School Favors.
For years now you've waited in eager silence...
For another batch of memories.
.

.
Hi everybody.
Since Mom and Grandma are long since gone.
And My kids are grown.
And I have no grandchildren yet....
The old Cookie Jar has been tucked away in the far reaches of the house unused in years.
It used to be the center of endless Family Fun and Togetherness.
But now the house feels so empty.
Just like the Cookie Jar....
The Great folks over at One Stop Poetry, hosts a Wednesday Forum called One Shot Wednesday . Give them a visit....Here.

TMI Tuesday....











.
.
A Sir Paul McCartney from Lostachunkacashtoanamputee England asks..
.
"Dear Mr. Knowitall...Not born an American, I don't know where the term 'Southpaw' comes from, could you please fill me in. And could you inform us Lefties of any interesting Left-Hand Trivia?
.
Dear Paul...I thought you was dead? Maybe I'll talk about that next week. But getting back to your question...Of course I can!
.
*In the late 1890's, most baseball parks were laid out with the pitcher facing West and the batter facing East (so the Sun wouldn't be in his eyes).. This meant that Left-Handed pitchers threw with the arm that faced South. This term was coined by Chicago sportswriter Charles Seymour.
.
*Lefties on the average live 5-7 years less than Righties.
.
*If you are left handed, you only make up 5-15% of the population.
.
*If you are a female Southpaw you are even more unusual, there are roughly 50% more male lefties than females.
.
*The artwork in ancient Egyption tombs depict most Egyptions as right handed. But their enemies as left handed. An undesireable trait back then!
.
*Ancient Greeks NEVER crossed their left leg over the right! And a person's sex was determined by what side of the womb they were in. The 'lesser' sex woman, usually rested on the left side of the womb.
.
*Roman custom dictated that you never enter a home with the right foot foreward. You turn your head to the right to sneeze. The Latin word for Left is sinister(evil or ominous)!! The word for Right is Dexter (skillful or adroit). Ambidexterous means Right with both hands!
.
*Lefties are more likely to be on the extreme ends of intelligence. A higher proportion of mentally challenged people are lefties. But also A higher proportion of people with an IQ of 140 or higher are lefties
.
*And of course we all know what happens in third world countries where people are wayyyy to poor for toilet tissue. Thats why we shake hands with the Right! Also in India, one should NEVER be seen eating with the left hand, for the same reasons I assume?
.
*And on Judgement Day? God Saves with his Right Hand, and casts sinners out of Heaven with his Left. It MUST be true if it's in the Bible eh?
.
Great Question Sir Paul! Not enough money after the divorce to buy a PC with Google??
Oh well, it's folks like you that keep me in demand.
.
Enough of this Left-Handed Hogwash...Mr. Knowitall grows weary.
I bid you Adieu....
