21/XX -- Edited P..."

LOL!!! They don't call me speedy for nuthin'.... wait, they don't call me speedy at all.

[Lisa Kay]

But do they call you fast, you trollope, you? Blind and fast. (Just kidding! ☺)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Heh. Heh. Heh. If the shoe fits...

[Lisa Kay]

Yeah, the rest of that quote goes, "then I hope it don't pinch." **hee hee**

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

LOL!!! Or in my case.... if the shoe fits, I hope I can see it to put it on!

[Lisa Kay]

And in my case... if I can remember where I left them.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

LOL!! We're a pair, aren't we??

[Lisa Kay]

Yes, but didn't the blind mice come in threes?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Not in the nursing homes. They had cats.

[Lisa Kay]

LMAO! They do!

[Lisa Kay]

My girl-friend's 18 year-old cat recently died and now she is getting mice -- and she didn't know why. I told her, "Duh!" So innocent, thinking her sweet baby wasn't a killer.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Just sayin', right?

[Lisa Kay]

Right. Or is it left? What's the question?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

You know what they say...

[Lisa Kay]

What?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I thought you knew...

[Lisa Kay]

New? All I have is old.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Well, you know what they say about old...

[Lisa Kay]

Everything old is new again? That one?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

No... the other one... you know the one....

[Lisa Kay]

You can't teach us new tricks? That one? Geez. You're making me dust out the cobwebs.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

No... you know the one, "a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle...." that one...

[Lisa Kay]

How in the HELL does that relate to what we were talking about?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

What? What were we talkin' about again? Lemme get my bifocals on so I can see.... *wink*

[Lisa Kay]

Yeah, get your coke-bottle-bottoms. I'll get my hearing aid horn. Then when one of us finds some ginkgo biloba and see if we can remember what it was.

It amazes me that you could see my post that fast. And then you responded so fast. I mean, geez, it was barely there a minute. How fast do you type, anyway?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Lordy, Lisa Kay... I don't know how I saw it so fast. I was checking through emails and yours popped up so I clicked and replied!

And I just checked... girlfriend, 18 minutes lapsed between your post and mine! If you consider that fast, you need to up your Geritol dosage.

[Lisa Kay]

I'm talking about POST 250! Geez. Can't you keep track of the conversation, old lady?

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Damn, girl. 250 was 31 posts ago! How am I supposed to remember what we were talking about way back then?? Geez. I need to go to bed.

[Lisa Kay]

FOFLMAO! I hope you sleep well, sugar plum. ☺ Drat! Now I need to pee.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Night, cupcake!!! Be sure to wear your Depends!

[Lisa Kay]

LOL! Yeah, I swear I have the bladder the size of a walnut. I would say peanut, but you would probably mis-read it. ☺

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

*giggles* Probably so! LOL!

Good night!
