  • On a scale...

    ...of 1 to 10, this goes to a bajillion and six. When Carol hits one, it reaches the stratosphere.

  • Carol Lay.

    I use to say, "Why read the blogosphere? Buy a pair of pretty mules. I was old fashion? A old faddy farm 'dews' hey.

    I was just given, as a tease, a 'commercial, ad-swim suite calender from a dear Cambodian women. She will tells me true war-stories about fears living under Pol Pot when she was 8-years old.

    Her husband has been renamed Lucky. He is a great herbal healer and farmer.

    She has two children. The Cambodian couple have a handsome boy and a beautiful girl.

    We barter edible victuals.

    I'll offer fresh Asian greenhouse greens.

    She and her husband, Lucky, were only 8-years old during the tyrannical Pol-Pot terror rein. They via providential design are transplants here in 'our' neighborhood. I love them.

    I love listening to their true life war-stories. She has class.

    They enjoy my fresh homegrown luscious greens. She makes great Pho-soup.

    If you don't mind...I'll pretend one of those swim suit bikini clad-silly girls is Carol Lay?

    I'll not think a one "impure" imaginative though, I swear

    I like clothed Ladies with mental-spirit appeal. Ia's only do try to be honest, and yet if Ia's a seeming to be miserably assailing, it's true, and yet Ia's only being honest.

    O, Anh ya's em= [?] It's a innocent private and [giggle] word of affection...description.

    Please don't call the NSA?

    I've run errands, and sat to groan,

    under the Willow Tree. In innocents!

  • Congrats for exploring Science Fiction, Ms. Lay!

    Most people don't know what it is. They think it's all Lucasfilm special effects. It is really a lot more thoughtful than that, and you've hit the nail on the head. To quote the great science fiction composer and singer Tom Smith's song "Rocket Ride"...

    I want more than action and special effects

    Just think about what might happen next.

    A hero, not a weapon shop with pecs

    And a heroine, not an excuse for sex.

    "I used to live in a room full of mirrors.

    All I could see was me."

  • Fabulous

    Love those 'capsule stories'. Thank you Ms Lay.

    Boy that just sound like inane blather.

    Guess that explains why Kansas O'Flaherty so consistently gets 5-10 times as many responses as WayLay does.
