    I've only just discovered this lady and I can't get enough of her. I'm not even sure why. She's so cool.

      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’ .

      It was a facetious remark! You do not need to take it literally. Her sharp witticisms are self-explanatory. You are overstating the obvious which is banal.

    I love that she has a Checker Marathon. The only car that would be more perfect would be a Hudson Hornet but she never mastered a typewriter so a standard might have been a challenge. And she needs a new mechanic, rigging up a fuse is not rocket science.

    I don't know why she thinks the body design of her car is from the 1930s. I've heard her say this before, but it is definitely from the 50s.

    An image can have an effect on you without you understanding it. But the in order for the written word to have an effect, you have to understand it. Without understanding it, it has no effect on you .

    My oldest sister trips because I wear and look "sexy" in men's clothes.Fran and I have something in "common". 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".😉🤗
