Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
A picture is worth a thousand words, so Fred R Bernard would advise. Well, that would imply, in the course of a thousand Wakefield Doctrine posts, we’ve supplied Readers with over (carry the six, hold the polynomial and praise the lord) at least ‘One Million Words!’ Let make that Grat 7
And, to continue our excursion into the realm of mathematics, like when we were young in the winter and tried to cross a puddle that was more than ankle-deep by the simple expediant of running and trying to lift our feet, even as the fractal-polygons of ice submerge under our weight*, we would say, “Lizzi would be proud.’ (And, as host, Dyanne might nod in approval.)
I would not deny gratitude (or the clarklike-facsimile) for the following this week.
1) Phyllis ———————–↓
2) Una —————————————————-↑
3) Ola
4) Bella
5) the Wakefield Doctrine
6) Hypograt* The beginning of winter this weekend.
7) To celebrate the use and abuse of photos as post enhancement, (you know, like Hamburger Helper for rhetoric and prose), here is the photo used on this date in 2012
8) the Book of Secret Rules (aka Secret Book of Rules) for providing us with such a helpful concept as Hypogratudinal Thankfuls; those people, places and things that we could live without, however our lives would, somehow, be diminished, had they not occurred.
9) serial stories: ‘the Whitechapel Interlude‘ and ‘the Case of the Missing Fig Leaf‘
10) Secret Rule 1.3 which, ‘hey, it’s the long[est] day of the year, don’t sit behind a keyboard like it was the windshield of a car with a tank full of gas and no speed limit, get out there and do shit ….et al; ….sic transit gloria mundi, y’all’
* If memory serves me well, and who would deny that, at this stage of life, surely we’ve edited all but the most obscure recollections, the better to support our current secret biographies; this strategy doesn’t seem to never work, albeit on occasion, accompanied by a price much higher than originally anticipated. And that observations speaks volumes to the question ‘Do we remember what we want to or do we remember only what we need to?’

Oh, I’m sorry! No time to comment! As you and Mr. Liszt suggest, I must get out into this, the longest day of the year!

Thank you for the inclusion of all of our ‘children”
yw
As i once read, real women do not serve hamburger that has been “helped.” We will, however, in the interests of time, post words that may have been previously used.
lol
Only once in a while did I resort to the products shown above back in the day and still don’t, only for different reasons.
Great canine tree you have created complete with their adoring humans.
Definitely something to consider if one dares – ‘Do we remember what we want to or do we remember only what we need to?’
totally (adoring humans, that is)
Funny, too, about photos, even when very young, their personality (as adults) is quite clear… suspect that is true with human kin, as well.
Imma gonna admit that my roommate and I lived on Tuna Helper and fritos and bean dip in college (not eaten at the same time).
…and grape nut cereal (hey! man, you’re like, eating gravel*) and milk kept cold in the dorm window sill
*drugs necessary for this to make sense**
** ‘make sense’. lol
I can admit to having utilized such things as Hamburger or even Tuna Helper. I forgive myself because I was young, broke, and busy. Can’t even think how long it’s been since I resorted to such culinary, um, delights. LOL It’s a food group all by itself, truly.
Love the puppy pics!
lol… being young and hungry, surely the culinary Philosopher’s Stone
