Heya BR, how are you doing? I looked through your gallery but didn't see a reference to Chris the Sergal - how are things going with his character?

Question - am I the only one to regret the demise of the tie?       
The modern world has new standards - suits with no tie.  It must be my age     

Thank you for faving the tie-less penguin Blackruby.   Have a great weekend to come...

Hi Blackruby, thanks so much for faving  "The pain of her betrayal..."       

I must correct the illusion, created for drama by the title, that this was a caged kitty.

In reality, the window screen was for security of the house not to incarcerate the cat

Part of Max Ehrmann's "Desiderata" advises:  "Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans"...       mwkworks.com/desiderata.html
This is good advice that answers the negative aspects of "Tall poppy syndrome"   

Thanks for faving "Tall poppies..."          Have a good week Balckruby...

Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and solitude expresses the glory 


of being alone.  I hope you can find somewhere as stunning as that 
South African beach to experience solitude       but avoid loneliness

I've messed up  Several deviants read the original title of my llama submission ("Give a llama -- Give me! Give me!") as a request or even demand for a llama to be given to me. This was NOT the case. When I composed the title I had the mental image of the llama jumping up and down, like an over excited little child     
        That is:      "You are going to give a llama away? - Give Me! Give Me!"       

My thoughts obviously didn't hit the right note so I changed the wording to "Pick ME!" 
I hope this explanation makes things clear.  
Anyway thanks for the fave it's appreciated Blackruby
