Iggoz: "He (Dolly) is a She for real. I never got that one figured out. I really couldn't care less.

Not surprised Iggoz hasn't figured that one out, even though I must have explained my user name 50 times over the years.

(I think she's staying under the dryer too long.)


Dolly is short for Adolphus, a very popular male name during Victorian times.

Adolphus "Dolly" Longstaff is a character from a novel by Anthony Trollope:The Chronicles of Barsetshire & The Palliser Novels.

The dashing but penniless Burgo Fitzgerald is also a Trollope character; the only man Lady Glencora Paliser nee McCluskey, ever truly loved.


Congratulation on FINALLY getting the "I couldn't care less right", although I really think you do care.....a lot.

Firstly Bill, I must ask how are things between you and your son-in-law?
Last time I checked things weren't going too well.

Secondly, where did you get the idea that you're admired?

Ask yourself this, why do so many people visit zoos every year?
Is it because they admire the "residents" or is it because they enjoy observing them and get a kick out of watching them interact with each other?

My, my Micha, such vitriol coming from a "writer" of such gentile, child like tales.

BTW, here's a passage from a book entitled "The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making" by Catherine M. Valente an authoress who writes fairy tales for grown women and whose work reminded me a bit of yours.

"Twelve-year-old September lives in Omaha, and used to have an ordinary life, until her father went to war and her mother went to work. One day, September is met at her kitchen window by a Green Wind (taking the form of a gentleman in a green jacket), who invites her on an adventure, implying that her help is needed in Fairyland. The new Marquess is unpredictable and fickle, and also not much older than September. Only September can retrieve a talisman the Marquess wants from the enchanted woods, and if she doesn't . . . then the Marquess will make life impossible for the inhabitants of Fairyland. September is already making new friends, including a book-loving Wyvern and a mysterious boy named Saturday."

Unfortunately, the critics have not been kind.

“This is not a bookl to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.”
(Betty Hodgeson, The Valley Vigilant)

“Once you've put this book down, you simply can't pick it up again.”
(Percy Marcus, The Plain Speaker)

“This book isn't just plain terrible, this is fancy terrible. This is terrible with raisins in it."

Uh, oh.
I remember our neighbor Hazel...Hazel Cousins saying the same thing once.
That was 30 years ago. The next day she called to tell us she was pregnant with Lucinda.

Keep:

I love her (Judge Jeanine) show, she's one of the best.  Too bad she's only on once a week.  
Madam Jeanine has a "house" to run the rest of the week.

Keep wrote: Buckle up for the next six months: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are effectively tied in the swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to the results of a Quinnipiac University survey released Tuesday.

Buckle up indeed.
Right now there are 2 Democratic candidates.
When Hillary gets the nomination, do you think Bernie supporters are going to jump on the Trump circus wagon?

BTW, Hillary Clinton is leading Donald Trump 49 percent to 44 percent and Bernie Sanders leads him by 53 percent to 40 percent in the latest NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll on the general election.

Any sensible Dem or Independent should fell the same way.
This is too serious to do otherwise.

Sheldon Adelson pledges $100,000,000 to Trump.

(So much for Trump financing his own campaign and being beholdin' to no one.)

Yeah, but what about Hillary supporter George Soros?

Soros, a fervid fan of Hillary Clinton has contributed a sum of $6 million to Clinton's Super Pac.

Yeah, but in 2004, Soros made a $160 million loan to Donald Trump to build Trump Tower in Chicago.

The $160 million Soros investment came in the form of a so-called "mezzanine loan." (A mezzanine loan is like a second mortgage that charges a higher interest rate than the initial construction loan.)

Additionally, in 2008, Trump and Soros found themselves named co-defendants in a major lawsuit together…

So there's that.

Keep posted:

Bloomberg: Hillary Clinton plans to use the Iran playbook on North Korea. and, this inside of her top priorities.
Does this scare the crap out of anyone else?

Not as scary as the idea of Trump's willingness to make deals with Kim Jong-un.
