take care when following a dictum

I've spent so much time

I admit but cannot account for

thinking  about things I've seen

and that have been affected 

by my behavior. 

of stuff I do, stuff i've done

I'm not especially careful

nor conscious 

of my behavior

I do something

and follow the dictum

don't just stand there 

do something

and I have 

and gradually but assuredly

the consequence

the results 

lose their opaqueness.

they become translucent

and little by little they

become transparent

a mist that means something

only to me

little weight and import

usually gradually ebbing

if lucky leaving a short

trail of eskers and detritus

a little flotsam and jetsam 

until they fail to  exist.

Marthe Steward tip for the day.

If your guy likes the way women who work at Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme smell and you're afraid he might step out on you, don't sit back and do nothing.  Take the offensive.  Make your own pastry-flavored perfume with simple household ingredients and a little elbow grease.

Note:  This pix was done nearly two weeks ago.  I've been sitting on it.  I had a general idea of a joke but sometimes no matter how long you wait and think, the dough don't rise.  Still haven't found the good laugh.  If you think of a gag let me add a pix.   Especially need one or two line gags.  You get the credit, assuming there is any.   I like to draw.  I draw all kinds of merde but can go a long time without  thinking of a chuckle.  I might put a book together eventually.

Maybe to keep us humble...

"Did he just come from the loo?"

"Marcel ..."

"...Stay on the porch till I can clear a path!"

I always wondered...

most people have heard that the "nicotine patch" is an effective treatment for nicotine addiction.

Few realize that a similar attempt to develop an "alcohol patch" was a complete failure.
