I didn't think much of the idea, but taking a good whiff of pickle juice can alleviate muscle cramps and spasms.
It does seem to work.
Don't get yourselfinapickle, just smell it.
One of my girlfriends used it. I cannot remember which. My memory is being affected by all this discordance

Powerball to the people, left out.

I know the drill, indeed.
Tough luck, amigo.
I was at the dentist's, for example:
Le Mot Juste
Paying my bill at the receptionist's desk
(Really just signing a form to initiate insurance billing)
She paid me a compliment
“Nice hat”
And it is a nice hat
Everyone says that to me
Fourteen unsolicited comments from different people
All women, it so happens, since I began counting
The ladies notice things and want to be noticed in return
But the point being that it IS a nice hat
Were it on Facebook it would be universally “liked”
Note that
Never “loved” but only “liked”
Loved implies commitment
Liked implies, well, something else
It is a nice enough word
Though it might be nice to use other verbs
Pretty is a good description
It makes for a pretty compliment
Pretty and nice
Put them together and you come up with something pretty nice
Not very descriptive but that’s not the point
The point is that it is a pretty nice compliment
People like to be thought pretty
They like to be thought nice
Even the skanky ones
Even the real bitches
It is easy to be nice to anyone
Just think of them as yourself and you’ll do just fine
They’ll like you for it
Isn’t that nice?
Have a nice day.
Barring that, try to make it to the end without a fight.

A Liked hat that draws questions.
then while out watching football, I had to come home,
had to take the monstabidge, outShe is so Also 85% house trained...:-\
long story, Un-fixed and staying that way unless issues arise
she has been through enough. . .
lived in a box,
never let outside, in a basement all 3 years of her life. . .
so the changes in weather, snow , rain, sick`cold,
can make her revert to old habits.
She tries so hard, if we are home, she lets us know,
then won't 'go' because of snow or what ever.
It is a labor of love, we owe them so much. . . blackit can be hard to get a picture that shows her true black-ness.

It all adds up now: Dwain's a math prodigy.
I knew I could count on your fingers but wasn't sure about your toes.
Now I know.
You can always count on my friendship.

Fogged In
Creeping in on creepy cat toes
Here it is now and there it goes
Condensed water droplets soaking my clothes
Dewpoint-cooled, it adds to my woes
Standing on Telly in front of old Moe’s
Vogueing like a model assuming a pose
It is what it is as everyone knows
But it's not the weather I would have chose
Not a fit night for neither virgins nor hoes
My proboscis is the color of a red red rose

The Imbroglio Equation
The language of the heart
Being of lyric or of poetry
Does not lend itself to politics
Without the sacrifice of love
And all those endless useless arguments
Petty discourses void of levity
Cannot lend sustenance to passion
Like the stars that lie above

^^^^Totally agree.
All those endless useless arguments
are all devoid of rhyme
and are such a waste of time
they aren’t worthy of a mime
no, I wouldn’t give a dime
to pay for any irritating pundit’s lame opinion.

Time Out for Some Poetry
or
The Fox and the Viper
The fox bit twice
It was not nice
The vipers coiled embrace
The viper bit
The fox’s hind
And then he bit his face
They died entwined
But did not dine
No love upon the fox’s face
The viper had
A smirk of vengeance
Nothing lost was nothing gained
But in this case
A total waste
And such a sad disgrace

why captions are important
in this move on quickly world
the images come and go so quickly
that there is little meaning attached
they are presented at speed in order to shock and to persuade
and those who are better at learning visually are the losers
our poor occipital lobes probably get so stressed
by this hyper-presentation of images
that it's a wonder the visual learners among us don't go crazy
interpreting images presented slam-bang one after another
means we need to rely on our ability to absorb meaning from verbal sources
and this is why captions mean so much
this may not be obvious to those who prefer their learning
to come from aural sources and the blind, of course
say cheese, girls
and don't look directly at the camera

about her accent, she is Spanish and is a professional singer who learned her stuff
