Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Item Once: Una
Itemo Secundo: Phyllis
Ometi Trieste: work and home
Quartro Itemae: Gravity Challenge
Cinque: the joy of remarkably lax filters, at least when it comes to the written thought
Sex: (for everytime I miss-type a small handful of words, get the word ‘sex’ and invariably laugh. This, I submit, is proof of the immortality of adolescence)
Seven: I just remembered that, of late, zoe and doug seem to, somehow, miss the connection over here on this oT, I will attempt to remedy this by the simple expedient of linking both at Lizzi’s and z’s. (hell, I’ll link pretty much anywhere that I’m not, actively and actually barred from… we need a new term for the courage that’s sometimes imparted by the fact of virtuality! There’ss little doubt that everyone, most of us, ok, clarks….. sure, sure…just me have a certain confidence that comes with the existential anonymity of being in the virtual world. damn! can’t think of one! I’ll work on it and get back to ya. (online suave? virtual balls? lol! no! digital chutzpah… lol enough for now!)
Ocotpie: ‘there’s always enough to go around’
Item 9th: ‘Almira‘ Chapter 10 due this weekend. It’s about ‘time’. The fleeting nature of it and the ephemeral character of all things that are tied too tightly to the passage of time. In this week’s Chapter: Emily Gale pays a visit to Ephraim Hardesty and reminds him of her Offer (an Offer she will not permit be refused). Eliza Thornberg has dreams of being in the movies and discovers that, while desire (when fulfilled) is always good, want (with the risk of disappointment) is decidedly not. Finally, Dr Thaddeus Morgan talks with Nurse Griswold. (Why, no! of course it was only the two of them! Can you think of anytime that two people were in the room with Nurse Griswold …at the same time?) Hey, I trust everyone noticed the soon-to-be-significant-character, Sterling Gulch, back a couple of chapters ago! Yes, his last name is, in fact, Gulch.
10. SR 1.3 (from the Book of Secret Rules aka the Secret Book of Rules), this particular Rule states that ‘the completion of a List of Ten Things of Thankful can be considered to constitute a thankful thing, in and of itself. The aforementioned List can, therefore, remain pre-terminus with Item 9, the completion citation (along with appropriate reference(s) to the BoSR/SB0R and, applicable Rule substituted as Number 10. et its fit!
Lets get ourselfs some music. Since we have a photo of a dog, lets use the song, ‘All Dead’ by Queen. Because, (as the story goes), it was written by Brian May for his dog and is quite touching. And, no, nothing wrong with Una. But looking at the photo made me think of Ola.

And you know how one thing triggers another? Your spell-correct sex item and reference to adolescence had me thinking about how those of you from Y-chromia like to make those bodily function sounds with a palm and an armpit. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
well, of course we
diddo… your point is?lol
And in my adolescent mind i giggled at Vals association too… man, high school never ends does it!?
no which is good, ’cause this time I’m enjoying myself way way more
Val, Tucker’s been begging me to teach him how and I have never known! Going to have to fly in my brother to teach him…
best to get yourself a scott… they are born with that skill, (and others, including the timeless, ‘hey!! Tucker pull my finger’), and many many more!
There is a little bit of adolescence in all of us that never quite grows up…and I think that’s as it should be. :)
true dat
The immortality of adolescence! lol. I do believe the world is filled with proof of such!
yeah you look around and think, how is it that people don’t really change, when they grow up (but then I think, ‘er Clark, it might just be the company you keep’ lol)
Moving forward with Almira y’are! That is awesome! Una and Phyllis are awesome, awesome things to have, non?
Hope your weekend has been good! I just got back last night from taking 28 students to Dollywood along with 9 college students and 14 parents. Not tired at all this Sunday morning. LOL.
lol… quite the skill set enhancement Ms. Calhoun. (This widening of our personal realities can, at times seem to be too much, but, in my experience, that only when it (the widening) is perceived as being apart from and outside out reality (the ‘real’ world). The Doctrine would hold that we can walk the jungles of the scotts and the verdant prairies of the rogers…even as we walk down the corridors of our everyday workplace.
I can absolutely vouch for the immortality of adolescence. Usually I find it a good thing, seeing as how I first met my husband when he was in the throws of adolescence and it reminds me of those early days. Except when it’s irritating cause he’s getting the current, real adolescent males in our house all rowdy and adolescenty. :)
…define ‘real’
lol
Yup. I’m still a teenager and a six-year-old because I can laugh at fart jokes with the coolest 6yo I know!
Speaking of typo’s (not sex – and yes adolescence can last a long time – I’ve often thought my humor is pretty much the same as the average 8 year old boys humor) do you find yourself often typing dog as god? I swear for me, it’s every time.
yeah totally does, but the thing about sex (bar rum bump!) is I seem to mistype it more often in the process of zoe’s Six Sentence Story ‘hop laugh way more than I should
Ah Clark – so nice to read one of your lists again and still only understand small parts. I’m still giggling at the typo too. But I like the #10 rule. Good to know.
lol thank you… the Book of Secret Rules (aka the Secret Book of Rules) is one of things that makes this such a cool bloghop
Ooh, Chapter 10 is sounding like a lot of revelation. Can’t wait.
:-)
should be out this morning
YAY for thankfuls!!! And for The Secret Book of Rules (or Book of Secret Rules) :) And for Queen, too!
