She died just a few days shy of a year ago. She might have differed... I distinctly remember being flattered when she said, "Often a boor, but never a bore." Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Everyone knows that children are notorious freeloaders. Husbands, if you play your cards right, somewhat less so. You're always welcome, though, for a short-term freeload at Hotel Hag if you find yourself in Little Beirut. By the way, I do appreciate, a lot, your recommending my blog @ UT. Not everyone necessarily gets the Hag, uh, style, and you do, so I know your voice draws the right readers. (There's kind of a lot of them, and I've been surprised and delighted....) You're a wonderful addition at UT, and it's great to have you here. Ah, I see, that’s how the adoption thing crept in. Everyone knows that children are notorious freeloaders.

I was hoping for an easy, leech-like, gig. But it was fun while it lasted. And I will always throughly enjoy everything about you. It's all good stuff.

I keep using it because everybody loves it; including me. This is my second apartment entirely in that color. That's another rule of Hagdom, after the looks run out, there's the personality, and then it's on to the apartment. Too bad I'm not an heiress; I'd have one more hole card to play. Although I don't favor a whole lot of togetherness in the home, when it's time for housework or bill-paying I do sometimes get a bit lonely.....

You've got a lovely place; colors are perfect, very relaxing and calming (and that's based merely on the pictures alone!). So you can either marry or adopt me--I'm not particular about the legal arrangement. CH, I just looked through your pics.

It was on a weekday afternoon, and over a hundred thousand people quickly filled up the square and all the surrounding streets. That's why we're "Little Beirut," of course, smearing dissent as anarchy was already being rolled out back then. I could see that it was a reelection ploy by Bush Sr., and I didn't believe the stories about incubators and whatnot. Also, having grown up during Vietnam, I had already decided that wars like these were stupid and lost before they started. Furthermore, the supposed "Peace Dividend" had obviously upset the MIC, and the war was blatantly and obscenely marketed, culminating in Bush's repulsive, triumphant gloating that the "Vietnam Syndrome was well and truly gone. Personally, I think that that "syndrome" is the best thing since sliced bread, and I do at least partially blame that first gulf war for both Sept. 11 and the next Gulf War. That's miserable for you to have been caught up in the whole thing; you should be glad you got out when you did.

It really hurts to keep learning how our nation's leaders led me and so many dedicated warriors into conflicts that destroyed so many lives and weren't even necessary and only served the interests of corporations and "Serious" foreign policy "experts" and the damn neocons. And to make it worse, I was a part of building the very effective Pentagon PR machine that aided these assholes. Just one less BJ could have prevented the horrors of the second Gulf War.
