Yr friend's a certified nutter; I like that. Both stinkos and staples hire
great young talent at basement salaries; this stoopid maneuver backfires in
all the usual imaginable ways. Fact is, most pkg's tragic bcuz the suits
use talented things for breadcrumbs, and of course they fail to psyche their
gifts. Like the army combing lists of enlisteds with hoot-laffy jobs
assigned to The Wrong Soldier.
My fave printing company's Fleet Printing bcuz they have Ruth at the front
desk running the photocopy machine and every Monday bringin in homemade
peanut butter chocolate fudge to sell for a cancer charity, which I always
buy, and I get her brilliant eye-talent at cropping, aligning, copying out
pages of my illustrated books to the grandtwins----all those pluses for
something like $3.24. Everybody loves everybody, and well they should.
Sounds like you 'owned' devilwoman; now she should write evil verses about
you!
My mac was a gift from a truly beautiful human being. Praise be to God!
Time for a nap.
ideas are popping to joodles on her incomplete priest [more so than
unfinished, I think].
