You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Shoes a smidge too tight
Evolution's small relic
Pain in little toe.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

le n - ha!

I'm so sorry, msbelle. That can't be easy on any of you.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Sometimes people last with hospice for much much time longer than is estimated -- knowing that they'll be taken care of when they go relieves the stress, and lets them enjoy their last days more.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yes, it has a name
A name for the space between
lip and nose: philtrum

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Ha! I was trying to think of a philtrum one! All I had so far was:

That space, right down there;
sometimes it's covered in hair;

But I couldn't come up with a last line.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm sorry, msbelle.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

On non-recessive traits:

With my widow's peak
full earlobes, brown hair and eyes,
I'm quite dominant

The gap between now
and then can some times become

I know. I only know about it for the pun potential

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

msbelle,

I thought hospices take patients ASAP? Is that not right?

I'm sorry about all of this.
