Whatever happened to the real life men and women who used to stand in shop windows for several hours a day displaying the shops clothing wares? They were fun to watch and see if they'd move. I used to want to be one of those people, stick my tongue out at just for the fun of it, wink or wave. Just small movements to make people wonder if they really saw something. Of course after that quick movement I'd be back in a frozen position. At least that's what I wanted to do as a kid, I thought it would be a real hoot...lol.Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00198283033410908267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173487087895437639.post-48383684333884193522010-01-24T07:08:46.696-05:002010-01-24T07:08:46.696-05:00Charlene- Ah, if only other people would wake up a...Charlene- Ah, if only other people would wake up and open their eyes to the truth of the matter! :)<br /><br />Berowne- I have noticed shrimp's strange overly modest stance in restaurants, as well!

The Brady Bunch made it seem possible for a residential architect to support his perfectly blended family of 8 and a full time live in housekeeper. I remember having a stern conversation with my mother in which she pointed out my various imperfections and character flaws and asked why I couldn't be more like the kids on tv, after all they were "normal". To this day, I blame the Brady Bunch for my dysfunctional family and my decision to become an architect.stillthinkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00319335306715676399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173487087895437639.post-43192234856754617702010-01-22T14:23:06.458-05:002010-01-22T14:23:06.458-05:00I took a picture last year that's been accompa...I took a picture last year that's been accompanying every syndicated news story about goats ever since.
