All Fall In Behind Game CXXXVIII post here

13 years ago

I'm taking a liberty and reposting this with correct numerals to save us missing the right total (you all know I'm a bit particular about stuff like that *g*)

From Vee:

astrokath finished with

Ezra Pound: His Metric & Poetry - T S Eliot

Money Talks: Penny Wise Pound Foolish - R Skolnik

Sorry folks I've left a V out of the 'Game' number. May my vital organs be ripped from my body and tossed to the ravening wolves and the birds of the air peck out my lifeless eyes. 'Tis no more than I deserve.

(Fixing this here)

From dido:

Seven Pillars of Wisdom - T.E.Lawrence

(Some kind of self-effacing (or even erasing), subconscious but non-Freudian slip, I shouldn't wonder, Vee.)

(How come the last thread went on to 51 posts when it should have ended at 50?)

From astrokath:

The Thousand and One Arabian NIghts - trad

(I was most surprised to find it let me!)

Sort by:Oldest

Citizen Hobo: How a Century of Homelessness Shaped America by Todd De Pastino

(Veer--Tramp has 2 meanings here: one as usually applied to a "loose" woman :); the other usually for a homeless man who lives off the land and handouts as he moves about the country.)

OK, had a few minutes while waiting to call a business in Calif. that isn't open yet!!!! Give me your address, I'm coming over to steal everything on your coffee table, my sunroom is Northwoods theme & it would all go perfectly in there! Just love all you've done. The fireplace is PERFECT, you have such a talent for decorating! I love the softer look, the draped greens and the fireplace is stunning! I will keep checking you blog, since all your pics are there.

Diane, looks like Houzz let Joey post a pic, but I'll try, too. These are for testing purposes only because you've seen them. We may lose the red maple. It's a mere shadow of itself this year. The arborist said he doesn't think it's pests or diseased, and we should wait a year before having it removed. I would miss it as it's the better of the two, but, on the other hand, removal would make it possible to grow something in the front. I love it in the winter the most. Joey, that's not just a dusting! That's a good snowfall. Do you do anything to protect your roses? Geeze, April seems so far away. I'm adding the Queen to my spring list. I'd never given it a thought until I saw yours and read your recommendation. Can't pass up on a rose that beautiful and that hardy. Kristine, I've had roses do that because of snow, never rain. I'm so sorry. Beverly was one of your most gorgeous, but Marc C will be a beautiful replacement.
