Making Cow Aphorisms cloy and I don’t want to talk in generalities: Some skin would be nice. This meat began as hamburger, and that’s the best it ever was. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but they don’t have adequate refrigeration here. Never mind, I’ve made a cow of sorts. It hasn’t slumped yet; maybe there’s hope. On good mornings I can even moo. |

Ed...be careful or you'll make food poisoning! I know you're being funny, but you worried me.  |

Well...I have been in that situation, of trying to build a cow out of hamburger....and I've been the cow a time or two! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

When I first read this, I focused on the humor... and appreciated the much-needed grins it gave. *S* But... I also appreciate the darker side of it... know what it is to feel ground down, formless and voiceless... and there's nothing funny at all about that. *S* You're a master at merging dichotomy into a glorious whole! *S* |

Eddy darling one, I echo Suthern here, this is something that you do so well, blend and merge and make something rather special as always Mushy x x x x see not just one splash of pink but two, I had to read and reply and always your writing draws me. Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |
