CONJUNCTION JUNCTION WHATS YOUR FUNCTION?

It is the function of a writer to share ideas, feelings and opinions. Another part of a writer's function is to entertain and to impart knowledge. Mr. Vonnegut is a master at all of these.


The function of this sign is to make you want the ice cream the evil penguin is selling.



This item used to remove bodily functions.
Sometimes it is possible to change our functions. :)




Sadly, sometimes we outlive our function and must bow to progress and more advanced invention.


In Vonnegut's writings, this phrase's function is to convey the meaning that something has died or passed away.

Now for your amusement... in the video below, if you can stand to listen to the tirade that long, this boy clearly illustrates that he has no idea of the function of a TV remote!
This young man is using the function of pitching a royal fit to show his mother how angry he is that she has cancelled his
WOW subscription. YIKES!

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds.


Yesterday my family all converged on Bear's house for a BBQ. This time the two people in StbX's family that are nice people attended. My grand daughter joined in. She is living with her dad now... for the summer. She was shy and clinging to me most of the time, but that was okay by me.








Max had to work. He had a bad weekend. He was invited to a party, but his ride never showed on Saturday. Then we had this party and he had to work. He just plain missed out.




I hope you enjoy the Bob Marley. I know at least two of you like him... and I like to please myself. Ha. I find regae music very relaxing. Almost hypnotic. Little kids always like it. Mikey gets into the beat and knows some of the words. Of course his favorite song right now is "That's Not My Name"by The Ting Tings.


I hope you are off to a good start to your week and that you find it satisfying in whatever way floats your boat. Me... I plan to go fishing. Aaaahhhh... talk about relaxing.
