What I Think Will Come True This Year

The czars and the kings will hold on to their throne chairs until they are dragged out kicking and screaming, tweeting all the way to their dungeons. Nuclear winter is a few years down the road, but global warming will have people flocking to Kansas soon from Florida which will drop into the sea. The Texaco Shareholders and their families will build a wall, and stay inside, breathing their own greed and selfishness. Jesus will be saving other planets, not concerned at all about our silliness, as we have so many wanna-bees here. Stocks will go up and down, so many times. It will be called the yo-yo year of the stock market. The girl next door will develop narcolepsy and refuse to come out of her house or answer the door, not telling us it has flown into agoraphobia. It will be the year of the PIG, and the pig will be orange and be featured on balloons with diapers. A misogynist bully-pig. This is what I think.

oh; it seems we are all in abnormal fear of being helpless in a situation from which escape may be difficult or embarrassing that is characterized initially often by panic or anticipatory anxiety and finally by the avoidance of open or public places////great thinking

Yes there it is....ABNORMAL fear, and I think most fear fits well under that category.

You know, if you hadn't told me otherwise, I definitely would have believed you (i.e., that you're on different sites now). Furthermore, I predict that you'll burst past that limit of a paltry '16' a day and probably get to 25 or so. (Why set limits? Greatness will out!) :) gw

I do, Gershon, I do! I am on different sites now. Just kidding! Sixteen a day is pretty much my limit.

Thank you Vera. I did not really think it was brilliant at first, but I thought that it was a "reflection of the times" according to Trixie and I, and she leads me around and makes me do when we feel strongly enough about something.

Nuclear Winter? No, no, no, no, no, no, unless the world leaders are just idiots! (What am I saying?) Okay an orange pig; possible, that I don't deny but, how about purple or green? Maybe purple with green polka dots? Yes, I'm hoping you just made that all up.
