<span style="color: purple; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>I started this at 12:55. I</i></b></span><b style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>t's now 13:55 and I'm still standing in the garage watching the water SLOWLY drain out of the emergency drain tube on the front loading washer so I can clean the filter.</i></b><br />
<b style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>This is not something on my bucket list either.</i></b><br />
<b style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></b>
<b style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>I'm so frustrared I could chew nails and spit out tacks.</i></b><br />
<b style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></b>
<b style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The last time I had to do this was when I was washing foam backed rugs.</i></b><br />
<b style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Did you know that the foam on the back of those rugs disintegrates in soap and water.?</i></b><br />
<b style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>I didn't but now that I do I made certain every foam backed rug was in the trash.</i></b><br />
<b style="color: purple; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></b>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Recently I got some new rugs of the shag verity. Trimed all the tags off...threw them in the washer with soap ... Set the timer on my coffee table and started crocheting on my poncho while waiting for the bell to ring.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>When it did..... OIE</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>While I'm waiting for the water in the tub to go down enough where I could open the door I figured out what caused this problem lose shag threads and lint. Wonderful.!</i></b></span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Once the water gets low enough I'm dragging my Rainbow into the garage and use it as a wet vac. And vac out all the water in the tub along with the bits of floating lint.</i></b></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>Gathering up all the other rugs in the house so when I unscrew the filter I won't find myself on my knees with my butt in the air in a lake of water.</i></b></span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><i>So I told him about my day...he didn't say anything and disappeared into his room. In fact that was the last that I saw of him for the rest of the night. (Smart man)</i></b></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><b><i>I've learned a few things from him which has given me insight into somethings that I rarely say anything about. Things about family that I really do care about but don't have anything or anyway to do or help them with it. </i></b></span></div>

<span style="color: blue;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue;"><b><i>Things that would have helped me when my first husband and I were trying to make a marriage work for 11 years. Things that made him act and react the way he did.

<br />
Welp.<br />
It's been awhile ..<br />
Bet there aren't that many people out there that are still intrested in what I have to say.<br />
That's okay. Some days I'm not that interested in what I've got to say either.<br />
Been busy on facebook (FB) lately. Made a few friends that I enjoy talking to and they seem to enjoy talking to me too.<br />
Most of them I will probably never meet in person and that's okay too.<br />
It's like having pen-pals all over the world but you don't have to wait for the mail man to bring you their news.<br />
Now one of those friends is starting a blog. I will be reading what he has to say. <br />
Maybe, it will help me to understand somethings a whole lot better. Gosh...I really do hope so.<br />
<br />
That's it for now.<br />
Hugs to ALL.<br />
<br />
Me.<br />

Okay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I might as well say something. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know its about as dumb as it can get. But, it still something that I can't stop even when I try as hard I can. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because, being envious of those who seem to be able to go to sleep without any problems seem to make me a little bit jealous. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now ... here I sit wondering if I go to bed I'll actually be able to go to sleep or will I get to count the pinpoints of lights dancing inside my closed eyelids.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some days it just doesn't pay to crawl out from under my warm covers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Later... 00:33</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Welp. </i></b><br />
<b><i>I'm up and moving and the clock is reading 18:47. (6:47p) Going to bed at 08:15 (8:15a) after staying up all night is not exactly the dumbest things I've done but when I do them it sure seems that way.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Have you ever sat and wondered why at times we think that was dumb and other times we think that was really stupid?</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Have you ever wondered why we were suppose to do either? </i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>You know, we did have a choice. </i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Somewhere along our way to the point of no return there was a chance to say, "nope...not going there." That is if you were smart enough to recognize that small handle of "being smart" to grab on and not let what's happening to drag you off. </i></b><br />
<b><i>Guess I missed the "smart handle" last night and my best intentions weren't strong enough to hang onto that "smart handle" .</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>I did get up at 14:18 (2:18p) mainly because Mother Nature can not be ignored and if you do...you'll not only be "really stupid" but now you've got a mess to clean up.</i></b><br />
<b><i>After answering Her call, I wondered around the house thinking I need to stay up and get somethings done that I should have already gotten done. Well, if you've read this you know how those thoughts were so very well ignored.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Now, I'm going to stop tapping on this keyboard and pick up my fork and eat my dinner of pasta with venison spaghetti sauce that I've been ignoring so I could talk to you.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>Later..</i></b><br />
<b><i>Me.</i></b><br />

Have you ever been so bored that you stare at the screen and not see what you are looking at?<br />
Have you ever been so bored that you can't think of why you are staring at the screen?<br />
<br />
My thought exactly.<br />
<br />
Then I began to wonder what would it take to get rid of boredom.<br />
Then the light bulb went "Bing" because the brightness from that idea that just popped into my stagnated brain housing flicked its switch.<br />
<br />
POP CORN !!!!!!<br />
<br />
Charging down the hallway stopping only long enough to ask "BB" if he wanted any which his reply was "No" and straight into the kitchen.<br />
Grabbed the canister of pop corn kernels and the "hot air" popper then its just a matter of what bowl to use before the pop corn starts popping.<br />
<br />
Tripping happily back down the hallway with my bordom fighting ammo I will once again place myself in front of this screen and hopefully be able to work my way thru stupidity and moron-ness( I hope that won't be a made up word).<br />
<br />
Ain't life grand!<br />
<br />
See y'all on the flip side!Miss Emhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14441825597709556390noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091663762556580085.post-65211329089133235342015-06-10T21:25:00.000-04:002015-06-10T21:25:51.273-04:00owwwwww**gasp**heeeeee<br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>It mind boggling!</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>I go into my bedroom, leaving the door open and the lights are on. I have pillows stacked about a foot from the head of the bed so when I go belly down my chest is lying across them and my arm pits are just pass the pillows. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Got the picture so far. </b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Now, one of 4 things will be will be in front of my face during this time of relaxation...</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>1. A book that I am finding to be of great interest.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>2. My tablet hooked up to WiFi and being used to cruise the "cloud" in order to catch up on what the few blogs I follow are saying or whatever I am finding that's interesting.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>3. I have several games on the tablet and c-phone that I've been known to indulge in when I'm bored.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>4. My c-phone because I'm texting or doing a "reach out and touch" someone.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Now, when "Best Bud" next sees me in the kitchen getting something to drink (or stuff my face with) the first words out of his mouth is "Damn, I thought you were sleeping!". </b></span><br />

<b style="color: blue; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Welp, I dug out one of my "thinking" CD's and set it up to play on my radio/player. I hope that will be enough noise for him so he won't think I'm sleeping.</b><br />

I have heard the bugle<br />
And answered the call to duty<br />
I raised my hand<br />
I swore the oath<br />
My blood for Freedom's Land<br />
<br />
From the beginning of this Land's birth<br />
To the ending of this Land<br />
From the Eastern shore of the rising Sun<br />
To the Western shore of the setting Sun<br />
From the North cold Winds<br />
To the South Humid Swamps<br />
A Warrior's blood has made this Land sacred<br />
<br />
Now many forget or refuse to acknowledge those Warriors<br />
Many have shouted and cursed those Warriors<br />
Others have spit and thrown refuge upon those Warriors<br />
And still when the bugle sounds<br />
And those same cry out for protection<br />
<br />
THE WARRIOR ANSWERS THE CALL<br />
FOR DUTY<br />
FOR COMMITMENT<br />
FOR INTEGRITY<br />
FOR HONOR<br />
FOR THE WARRIOR WHO STANDS NEXT TO HIM<br />
FOR THE ONES HE LOVES<br />
AND THIS LAND THAT LIVES BECAUSE OF HIS BLOOD<br />
<br />
Go<br />
Pay homage to those Warriors<br />
And<br />
Remember<br />
What they swore<br />
My blood for Freedom's Land<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Warrior I am<br />
I heard the bugle<br />
And answered the call to duty<br />
I raised my hand<br />
I swore an oath<br />
My blood for Freedom's Land<br />
<br />

With the ceiling hanging over my head<br />
And there it sit my favorite spot<br />
That I stare at all for naught<br />
When for all the counting of the sheep<br />
Does nothing but keep away the sleep<br />
The ever turning and toss<br />
Is for nothing but loss<br />
Of the ticking of time<br />
For soon the clock does chime<br />
And there hasn't been even a peep<br />
Of one little snore of sleep<br />

<br />
Just got done reading an article on <http .="" www.fourwinds10.com=""> where there are Goldfish up to 1-1/2 feet or more and some estimate up to 5 pounds (or more) in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.</http><br />
<br />
Goldfish are a member of the Carp family. <br />
<br />
Many think the Carp is a "trash fish". <br />
<br />
But, there are those who are finding the lowly Carp to be very delicious with a light and delicate taste. <br />
<br />
After looking up how to cook Carp, I discovered that the way you take care of the Carp after you catch it greatly improves its flavor.<br />
<br />
It is also suggested that you fillet the Carp but, like some fish keep on the look out for bones.<br />
<br />
So everybody it's time to head for Lake Tahoe and do our best to catch some of those over-grown aquarium and/or back-yard pond fish.<br />
<br />
Wonder how well they will taste after being smoked on the "bar-bee"?<br />
<br />
Talk at yall later.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Why is it that a simple Thank You never seems to be enough when someone is not only nice but very generous to you?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Why is it when you try to tell that person Thank You, you can hardly get it past that lump that suddenly appeared in your throat?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">TODAY was that day for me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">My "BEST-BUD" got and gave to me a brand new Acer Android Tablet as a belated/early Happy Birthday present.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">It is already set-up so I can use my Android Smart phone (that already has the app) as a Wi-fi hot spot. I learned</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">something new about my phone that I hadn't known before and it will save me some money for internet service for my new Tablet.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">How do you tell this person just how much it truly means to have recieved such a wonderful gift when the words just don't seem to be there on the tip of your tongue.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I have spent from around 2:30p runing-a-ring around in all the corners of my grey goop and still the words can't be found.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I keep saying Thank You but it REALLY IS NOT ENOUGH.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>

The thing that I noticed was that there was no ammo to speak of on their shelves. <br />
There was cases of NATO authorized rounds But when it comes to .22, .25, .32, .38, .45, or 9mm ---empty. <br />
There were some shot gun ammo but not that much.<br />
I have heard that the ammo companies aren't filling any new orders.<br />
I have heard that many who were buying on line have received notice that the orders would not be filled any time in the near future due to Obama's and the gun control advocates in the government desire to infringe on the 2nd Admenment.<br />
<br />
So, I have come to the conclusion that they (the gun control advocates and the Government) will let us buy our guns so we can have the right to bear arms.....they will just make certain there won't be any ammo for the weapon.<br />
<br />
It's a back door that may NOT be included in the meaning of the "right to bear arms". Needs somebody smarter than me in Constantutional law figure that one out.<br />
<br />
Now that I brought this to your attention you can't say you haven't been warned.<br />

Now, it's going to take an hour just to put things away, empty and refill dishwasher, and then to finally clean it. And all of that has to be done before breakfast can be fixed.<br />
<br />
What I want to know is .... "What was I thinking?"<br />
<br />
Oh hell.<br />
Doesn't matter.<br />

It's breakfast time.<br />

Yum-yum.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><strong>Merry Christmas</strong></u></span> and before I forget and it gets past me <span style="font-size: large;"><strong><u>HAPPY NEW YEAR</u></strong></span> !!<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of pictures of what adorns my place for the holiday season.<br />
<br />
This one is sitting on a table top that is 6 feet by 5-1/2 feet and only took 2 and 1/2 days to figure out just how to set it up. Next year ought to be a lot easier especially with the picture.<br />
Now, <em><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">if</span></strong></em> I can talk BB into making me a second story ?<br />
[ You did notice that the if was in really big letters. I've already hinted at a second story with a road leading up to it and he looked at me as if I was either asking for the moon or a meer- i - cle. Maybe, if I hint and do a little whinning. Well, I will give it a good try and see if it works.] <br />
<br />
Next year is still a looooooooooong way away.<br />
<br />

</div> The next one is on display on one of the three shelves of the hutch of my brand new pine buffet/hutch that goes with the rest of the pine furniture in the living/dining room.<br />
<br />
The fire truck and candle holders are only a couple of years old.<br />
<br />
The bucket came with a dozen home-made chocolate chip cookies that I received from one of my customers this year. I am now using the bucket to catch my keys and sun-glasses because I keep loosing them in the house. Thursday morning I was "bitchin" and "stomping" through the house trying to find my keys. BB said to <em>look</em> in the basket in the dining room chair...someplace that I never have placed my keys before. <br />
Damn! It's a shame that ones memory goes before the thinking part of the mind does.<br />
<br />
The small tin held a Ginger-bread Man. He wasn't toooo bad either.<br />

A few of the Angles, all of the trees and all of the snow has been added in the last year or two. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh the reason I have these two very nice pictures is because I gave BB his Christmas present early and he is having a blast learning how to use it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thank you BB.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">{I keep hearing "This is neat." ..."Oh, man this is sooooo cool." and "Thank you, I just love my Christmas present." ... It sure is nice to have made somebody's day.}</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Welp, its time to head back to the kitchen and keep doing the prep work for a nice meal tomorrow. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope all of you have a great day and get much of what you like/want.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once again ...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm doneDid anybody{??} see where BB put my wheelbarrow?? I need it ... along with someone to<strong> push</strong> the damn thing.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, I made myself a promise that I would not be stuffing myself to the point of finding myself unable to even push myself away from the table. Lot of good that did me because I found myself sitting there looking at BB and stating that I needed him to roll me over to my chair in front of the Tv.<br />
His comment was, "Who the hell is going to get me out of my chair because, I'm no better off than you are."<br />
<br />
++++++++++++++<br />
<br />
REFURBISHING UPDATE !!!<br />
<br />
++++++++++++++<br />
<br />
Yep. <br />
You read that right I did say "table". The ceiling and walls have finally been finished in the painting department in the dining room. <br />
BB also put together a set of shelves that fit in a corner by being screwed into each of the walls going into the corner. They look like a Set of steps going nowhere that is now covered with 4 generations of family pictures and a few pieces of silver and other small items. It really looks nice.<br />
BB then put a shelf over the dinning room window that has scroll brackets that are screwed in to the inside of the 4 inch window well wall. Wow!! Can you say he got busy.<br />
Now all I got to do is to paint the bracket..Black-Bean..this week-end.<br />
Find the black sheers that were put somewhere in one of the closets for safe keeping and then re-hang the leather drapes.<br />
Sometime in the next few days, Fed-Ex will be delivering to me my new buffet/hutch which is made of light pine that I ordered to replace the 2 very dark oak-like units. [These 2 never went well with the rest of the wood furniture and sucked all of the light from the room. Can you say black hole.] This new buffet/hutch will go with the pine that I have in the front room. Since these 2 rooms are on an open floor plan it helps the decoration factor by having much of the furniture working together rather than fighting each other.<br />
Now, I just have to figure out what to do with those 2 "black holes".. er .. ah dark behemoths.<br />
<br />
NEXT on the agenda is the front room...which means its furniture movin time so the 15 foot ceiling can be painted.<br />
<br />
Great...and its also time for Christmas decorating.<br />
<br />
Wonder which one will win ???<br />
<br />
++++++++++<br />
<br />
Now, I'll say to one and all that I truly hope that your T-Day <span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="background-color: white;">was spent with lots of food shared with those that you loved</span></span><span style="background-color: white;">. But, if the ones you love couldn't be there I hope that the phone lines were smokin.</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh B-B agrees with me, "if the dumb-ass is stupid enough to get with in 20 ft then the dumb-ass will find out that I can make his world hurt"...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">10 times before I drop out that clip and slam in another with 10 more hurts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I'll be takin a few more pic's of the "DOB Extractor" and all of its New Additions so ya'll can see I will be doing a lot more of this type of "Banging in the Woods" in my old age than the other type of "Banging in the Woods" that was done in my younger days. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm still verticialTo all who have been wondering if I am still kicking and giving everyone a hard time....WELP...the answer is now obvious because I am tappin away on this machine at 0700. I should be catchin a few more zzzzz's. Unfortunately for me, "Sleep" was not on the night's schedule. Guess an afternoon nap will be one of the things that Will be done whether I want to or not.<br />
<br />
To all who asked about Best Bud's job...so far so good.<br />
<br />
This week-end Deer season open for bow hunters. Best Bud packed his truck this morning before heading off to the job because he will be heading for the Deer lease at the end of the work day. BB is hoping to bring back some venison for the freezer. In fact he is hoping to get in enough venison so he will have to get a chest freezer. [No. I don't have one.]<br />
<br />
This means that I've got the house to myself for 2-1/2 days. Yeah!! That means that I can run "Naked" though the house. Yep. I know. I sound silly but it is a chance for private time and that is special when you are sharing a house and that person is of the opposite sex and NOT married to you.<br />
<br />
Guess I'll go get ready for the day fore this 1/2 cup of coffee has gotten me wide awake and a bit jittery. I should have a zip-a-tee type of day.......OH JUST DAMN with a bit of extra joy.<br />
<br />
See you guys in the funny papers after I drag myself back to the key board of this blasted machine. <br />
[lots of smiles and laughter]<br />
