      I think it’s because she has a keen intellect and a sharp tongue,and she isn’t afraid to use both.

    OMG, two administrations later and these engagements haven’t aged…We *thrive* on Fran’s singular delight in being Fran, and listening to her doing so is forever a pleasure. Fran’s wit and comedy are second only to her dazzling command of the language. Pure joy!

    In Catholic we were taught the word ‘practice’ had two spellings . As a noun, it was spelled ‘practice’. As a verb, it was ‘practise’ .

    • @comicsgrinder
      @comicsgrinder 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The verb version is wrong, especially when you consider it not used. Even if it's a rule, what matters is what is in use. The rule eventually becomes a historical artifact destined to die out.

    • @dennis_duran
      @dennis_duran หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ironic considering that “practice” essentially *means* verb. The practice of medicine, practicing religion. It just means doing.

Our clothing.Only I'm more " dramatically Goth and a dandy who love "alligator " boots and combat boots.I also love black.My whole wardrobe is basic black.I'll be ready if I have to attend a funeral.The men that I've dated always said I looked better in men's clothing than they did.They thought it was sexy and bold.Total rebellion.Am I gay.No .I love everything about a man.Even their clothes.I use to choose my dad's clothes.What I thought would look good on him.My sisters couldn't have cared less.It tickled my mom.I was a daddy's girl.He was the handsomest man in the world to me and my sisters.But I adored both of my parents but it was daddy who I epitomized.He'd comb and brush my hair.Find me a man who'll comb and brush my hair and let me eat out of his plate.That might be "love".😉🤗
