A wonderful commentary on Sunday any controversial issues. I especially like the end where you talked about the doggie scoopers The hitchhikers I know things are put there naturally the things that are put there by their people and how they compete with the litter. Love this stream-of-consciousness love the blow this was a lot of fun to read.
Blessings,

Comment from Waterfowl
You spared no poetic expense on describing each categorized conundrum. I saw alliteration, prose, rhyming, punning, satirical singing; it was the whole ten yards.
I also agree with a lot of these issues. Though I haven't encountered all of them and probably/hopefully never will, the death penalty, the "suckers," fur coats, and toke resonate the most with me.
People who commit crimes should understand they risk their privileges and publicity. It's people ignoring the moral of responsibility. However, the death penalty could receive support since we wouldn't have to finance the survival of the incarcerated.
For the MJ, I like my munchies (and brain) untainted thank you very much!
I did notice an obvious double standard regarding your stance on human foliage. I understand it and even I support the issue since men carry follicles en masse with greater poise.
And for the "needy," those people can be an issue. Though some days I wonder/worry I may be among their ranks.

It would be distasteful if I didn?t read from start to finish. And I refuse to call your manic musings ?muck.?

Thank you! I say that in jest--wry humor in that few people select a long piece--I just put this back on the listing--it had been on for the past four days with payout starting @ .90 increasingly pumped ending at 1.02 --got only 2 reviews, one from a fan. Thanks so much for your six-thumbs-up!

Elizabeth...you have so much to share and share it with such wit, grit and flair. What an absolutely stunning piece. It never loses its humor and the specificity is just intoxicating. You really knocked this one out of the park!

Comment from LisaMay
Seven items to absorb and worth every star - a bit of a marathon but worth the read as an insight to American life and your own viewpoints about various experiences and situations, and then expressed wittily, fervently, sourly as appropriate.
Checked a couple of amendments:
In your Suckers and Company story:
An (should be A) twice-bottomed-out abyss cannot suffice to store such abysmal miseries.
In letter to local Paper:
So long as the stuff is out of sight and squishing range, leave it to it (delete 2nd 'it') enrich the woodlands.

Comment from Rikki66
So much babble I am in a quandary to begin. People hate even when they do not know what to hate. Men should be hairy from a man that could never grow chest hair and lost leg hair with age.
Women look more womanly with hair in a certain location.
I find it hard telling fur from faux fur.
Do away with prisons, first felony one year in prison, second felony three years in prison, third felony taken to front of court house and executed; cause you ain't gonna ever learn.

Comment from elchupakabra
This collection of short pieces is endearing to the writer as your voice shines through. Though I have to disagree with you on the multicolored munchies, I understand the idea that we cannot allow accessibility to children, but adults enjoy candy as well ;) Thanks for sharing and great work here. Later daze.

I just wrote a long review on this and when I pushed save the internet informed me I was unplugged. Hopefully it went through anyway. Just in case, I'll summarize that I get such a kick out of your perspective on life.

Well, I don't know why I wasn't sent notice of this posting, but I'm glad I decided to check the new stories and found it. I mean, I learned a lot. Now, I can just take a stick and flick it... and I don't even have a dog. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from lyenochka
Well, wow! This was many different little editorial posts. After reading it all, I don't know what to comment on anymore. Shame on all those people verbally attacking Muslim women! And as for fur clothes - don't even think about wearing your grandmother's furs on the west coast - except maybe in LA (who needs furs in LA?). Good for you in all your work with Bread of Life! And oh, I agree about those dog walkers who leave the bagged poo! Who do they think are going to pick that up?

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
I enjoyed reading your informative post, Liz. Each one gives readers more insight into you. I like how you presented each topic. I like the 'Take it or Leave it' segment the best. The others give us some great commentary or the state of our society and how some people take advantage of every little thing, then turn into their agenda.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
