Interesting write. I like it. I usually mix 'em, though, which likely explains why i walk around looking a bit odd. Robert Edward Levin |

sometimes that's the best thing to do...shut the door and go on your way  I've done it many times. |

Sometimes I like to mix it up...but not with clothes in the washer!! it's life...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We learn to recognize which it is.  "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

What a great metaphor for the realization that I can change the way things happen but I don't. I think you should put the red in with the white. I never sort laundry and life goes on anyway. I really enjoyed this poem -- it made me smile an "ain't that the way it is smile." http://www.anthonyarmstrong.zoomshare.com |

Ah, life's little moments..... A man does look good in pink -- some in shirts of pink, and some....in faces rendered in that shade by someone who knows the true value of the doing. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
