MzB -- I take no responsibility for the acts of my followers.
Mo'a, right down to the outdoor furniture.
ReplyDeleteBrian, I prefer "differently moral" to "pervert."
Mo'a, thanks for translating.
Or those with housestaff, OC.
Al, stir up all the trouble you want. I wear gloves.
Sar, good to have you back brawlin'
Ms. Quilly!
Joel, I had the pleasure earlier in the month at a dinner party I joined with my little brother of hearing a french woman scold her husband for passing her the French wine instead of the good stuff from California. If I'd been smart enough not to point it out, I could have missed the gallic lecture on cheese. I'll remember that if I go back.
Hermana, what was he thinking? Knows better now, doesn't he?
Nice, puppybrose.
Dome-stick. I'll write that down, Joe. I think I'm three years away.
Quill, thanks for keeping us up to date on the math and the law.
Doug -- angelic me wants to know why you have set my name with that started exclamation point.
ReplyDeleteGasp! And I get in trouble for just being? Douglas!
ReplyDeleteDifferently moral...ahahahaha....
wait...what was the word again? The "pervert" and "do me" references have me confused.
French housemaids make good prpviders too
ReplyDeleteprpvider: a tool used by a viking dentist to open your mouth
A friend gave a small poster which said my only domestic trait was that I live in a house. I think she was trying to warn my then fiance. He didn't listen.
ReplyDeleteBut he seems ok with that, probably has something to do with Quilly's definition (snicker snicker).

ReplyDeleteWhat the Bear I live with ISN'T. :-D
ReplyDeletelvjkow-- Lively cow. That's the difference between a domestic gallon of milk or dog food. See Mad Cow. :)
ReplyDelete"She's quite domestic!" - a nice way of saying someone has a lot of time on their hands.
ReplyDeleteexercising your mistress!?! kEwL!! :~)
ReplyDeleteTogether Scissors and I make up quite the domestic. He cooks and I clean and nobody's complaining...too much.
ReplyDeleteQuilly, angelic you should ask impish you that question.
ReplyDeleteJenna, you should try following a plot with those lips staring back at you.
Karma, you can tell by the lace.
Logo, that's what makes a house a home.
CA, works for me every time. Happy holidays to you and Mrs. CA.
Even in winter, Terry?
Brian, I enjoy both. All three.
Merry Christmas, CJ! It's also a sure sign that someone has criminal ambitions.
You know, Karen. Talking walks and stuff.
Sounds like a home that works, G. And Tali can do the calculus.
Doug, impish me claims bewilderment. Angelic me is concerned about her Sunday School teacher reputation.
ReplyDeletePrecisely.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
ReplyDeleteI get grief for my nekkid couple
I get grief for my sparkly lips.
Just for that I'm not defining domestic.
msbrd:Ms Bored was very domestic, up until the point was made to the bum formally known as husband.
ReplyDeleteNow she looks good in stripes. :)
domestic:
ReplyDeletefollow my thoughts...
violence
animals
majestic
big
stick
I mean, imagine what it is like to be inside my head. Does this make sense? I think not! I need help...
oh and I also blame Quilly and Miz B for this stream of conciousness!
Domestic: It can refer to a Goddess. See Roseanne Barr. Or to a terrible product. See Gross National P.
ReplyDeleteBut who could top Quilly's "Do me" comment? Certainly not I.
Quill, imps usually claim bewilderment. I wasn't born this morning.
ReplyDeleteG, as I thought.
Ha, Jenna. You can define "pert" again.
Brian, I guess boredom is the warden's recruiter.
Minka, I actually did follow you. I'm not sure which of us should be frightened. I commend your self-restraint at the end, though. Could that be the first free association here?
TLP, that was GDP, right?
Doug -- can't blame an imp for trying ...
ReplyDeleteTLP -- a Compliment from you is truly an honor.
self restraint is my middle name! Well, only because the world is so unobliging :)
ReplyDeleteIt is really late, I should not comment when it is late.
Pert? A shampoo to get rid of dandruff. Do you have dandruff, Doug?
ReplyDeletedomestic-betty flippin' crocker
ReplyDeletearsenic and old lace! didn't get the typo you maid ... err .. made?
ReplyDeleteuh yeah cindra...and that Martha Steward woman too.
ReplyDeleteQuilly, I never cast the first stone.
ReplyDeleteMinka, I bet "self-restraint" sounds pretty in German.
Jenna, that's the least of my flakinesses.
Cindra, the Quill family sure is getting raw-mouthed.
Karma, I don't see it. Maybe it's the arsenic I've been taking for my memory.
A pox on them all, hey, Minka and Cindra?
Happy Holidays Doug. Enjoy!
