MFM....


Breaking up is not hard to do.....
Just walk away,
Don't look back...
Eat...gain 10+ pounds...

No tears...
Lesson learned.

How's that?

But....why is tissue always called Kleenex?
That's a puzzler....



peace~

I forget the details, but writers have to be VERY careful not to
refer to "ordinary" tissues AS Kleenex. Their attorneys are up
there with Disney in AGGRESSIVELY protecting the copyright.
.
Kleenex has had such a commanding market share of the tissue
suppliers for so long that people naturally refer to ANY tissue as
"Kleenex".

I didn't gain 10 lbs after my biggest heartbreak (when my young
marriage came apart), but I did stay seriously drunk for just short
of a year before pulling out of my crash-dive.

And I'm not about to do a search for the correct spelling...
Every time I search on Google, click a link...I'm redirected to something else.
Sometimes it a red flag virus and all kinds of warning go up ...blah.

Well....I gained over 30 pounds living with someone years ago...
It's all crazy! Matters on the situation I guess...I was so miserable.

I'm with you!
Staying drunk is the best way to go....
Oh well....
Sweet oblivion ...





peace~

I bought a new Camaro & moved to another apartment. It was the only heartbreak I ever had & it was a BIG one.
