I remember watching Blazing Saddles years ago but haven't seen it in years.

I'm sorry you can't watch movies, Irish. But I'll bet that you've got us beat on books that you've read.

bp did its work there too. I used to read seven or eight books/week. now that is reduced severely and now I rarely read any fiction at all. During the last year I have read a lot of books of poetry and some psychiatry/psychology but not a lot of anything else really. my concentration is shot to hell on these meds. poetry is great on my kindle but i would not be able to read a book on it. does anyone else find these strange side effects of meds?

I have a book of poetry that's being published next month if you're interested.

Yeah you'll be able to buy it. It'll be available either next month or in March. There's roughly 50 poems (I wanted more I wanted all 79) Green Ivy is publishing it, they are out of New York City. It's suppose to go Nation wide but I'm going to set it up so that it can go further than that because a lot of my friends here want it and they are world wide.

OH!!! My wish!! I wish for a miniature stegosaurus to keep our dragon company. Jo gets to name this one since I named hers lol

Spartacus would LOVE the company of the stegosaurus.

What about Spike?? Like the stegosaurus from The Land Before Time?

That would be PERFECT! Now what about breakfast? I'm not hungry personally still too damn sad. I thought sleep would knock that out but it didn't. I had ridiculous dreams about my uncle last night. =( YUK

I thought it'd be perfect too, glad you like it too :)

I'm in a similar boat with you this morning Presh, not really hungry and feelin' pretty down and out. What about some waffles (I love waffles), bacon, eggs, sausage, with little fruit parfaits? I'll just nibble on a waffle.

I'm sorry you had a horrible dream about your uncle last night :( those dreams don't help the mood at all. I had a dream about being back in my med class I took in high school....... Feeling kind of nostalgic about it.
