The Garden Party

Quote Thursday 18 June

14 years ago

Earth. Famous interstellar home of two great races. The warriors and the worriers. For aeons they have battled with one another for supremacy. Or, at least, the warriors have. The worriers have let them get on with it... while they worried. Alien observers may wonder how the worriers ever survived. It is because they have had a weapon that is even more potent than aggression. It is called 'contagious anxiety'. As soon as they achieve their victories, the warriors become worriers.

You may not believe that, but it was my yesterday's horoscope and I just loved it! It's a British Astrology site and the Astrologer is more of a philosopher, that's why I like it.

What a good way to put it! And such friends are rare and to be cherished. Friendship has so many meanings, some I don't quite get: My GGD Kailey boasts that - on Facebook - she has 1300+ friends, what does that mean?

I held a police commission. You have to ask yourself before you ever hold that hand up and swear an oath, whether you'd be able to use a gun, or not, given a split second to make your decision. Your life, or somebody else's life may be put in jeopardy if you suddenly hesitate or change your mind. I have a healthy respect for them, and keep one, and prolly always shall since I've been a shootist since I was sixteen......but I'll still pick a fly off the wall and walk him outside to safety before I take his life if I have a choice. Having one doesn't necessarily make you a person who wants to use it.
