I'll let you know in about 10 years time how it's working.<br /><br />I want to run my fingers through the fringes of your poncho! Very touchy feely. And don't think I didn't clock the pattern socks - me want a pair like them!<br /><br />http://petitesilvervixen.blogspot.co.uk/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12140833533512536372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-10166156544131274602016-03-14T12:28:00.200-07:002016-03-14T12:28:00.200-07:00Hahaha!

I think the fact of the matter is the world is currently a huge pressure cooker, driven by fear, power and greed. It's terrible when the masses seem to be heading in the wrong direction and you feel impotent, insignificant, powerless. My default setting is the ostrich position, head in the sand hoping it'll all go away.

I don't suppose you need to get any taller, either, as long as you can reach the top of your head. And if you want sunny climes, there are a lot of Americans on the west coast who want to be part of Canada. Maybe BC can annex the coastal strip all the way to San Diego. We'll go willingly! Then we liberals won't have to worry about those wacky Trump-supporters. (Like it matters to me since I'm flitting off.)<br /><br />I love your poncho and the outfit that goes with it.

Quit trying to get everyone to move out there! I wouldn't mind living a dog's life as long as it is a dog owned by a very loving and responsible owner who isn't going to abandon me at a shelter just because I'm older and am not all puppy-cute anymore.
