Mag 55 - Taking it a step too far



When life gives you lemons you should
bloody well make lemonade!
- MLydiaM, March 2011




This is a Magpie Tale, albeit a short one from me this week.

    Uh, thanks for the tip, but I like the tiger photo better than the lemonade photo.

    Snowbrush~ I totally agree with you about the images. (Some months ago Fireblossom - commenting below you - wrote that the tiger's mouth looks "almost toy-like," which I also agreed with.)

    Fireblossom~ Question is, would you really drink it even if it were left by the door? ish!

    Helen~ Hah! :)

    lydia, i can't say i like this: i'm a prude at heart when it comes to bodily functions and this comes too close to that. :)

    kj~ Interesting reaction! I am anxious to spend some time this weekend reading others' Magpies generated from this rather disconcerting photo prompt. When I saw it all I could think of was a personal episode that involved slicing my thumb with a box cutter that I was (stupidly) using on top of the kitchen counter...hence, the kitchen-blood theme. Visit to the ER and 16 stitches later and I was fine. Ouch.

    I have to admit that's the most frightening piece of fruit I've ever seen. One might need tongs to remove it from the table.

    Ah! Roger Milller revisited. (You can't roller skate in a water melon patch... but you can be happy if you've a mind to!)
    All else is a bloody waste of time.

    Jingle Poetry~ Thanks for the invitation! You enticed me. :)

    Stafford Ray~ Roger Miller...wow, haven't thought of him for ages! I loved his song King of the Road and haven't thought of it for ages, either. Think I will visit your blog and then look for the song on youtube. :)

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
