What to Read While Hanging by the Neck Until Dead


Dear Readers!  I’ve been away from my blog for four whole days!  My kids visited, and we all  whooped it up Vernon Style in a combination, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Spring Birthday, Memorial Day celebration!   Gosh we had a good time!  We figure it will hold us over until June when we’ll all get together again to celebrate National Accordion Month!  (Can! Not! Wait!)

But Dear Readers, as you know,  life isn’t all fun and games.  No siree!  Sometimes life is a serious business and as such, you have to get the most out of every single minute — which brings us to today’s topic:

  1. I would opt for Oliver Twist of Her Neck or Hemingway’s less popular companion book, Farewell to Arms and Legs and Blood Vessels. But that’s just me — I love the classics.

    Cheers!

    • I’ve never see Lemony Snicket but now I simply must! I wonder if I should read the book or see the movie. I probably won’t have time for both if I happen to be dangling and whatnot . . .

  2. If these aren’t really quick reads and there’s time to finish them, then the hanger is doing a really bad job.

    I have only two pieces of advice for the swinger:
    – Dark sunglasses so no one sees your eyes bugging out
    -Diapers

    (I really don’t want to talk about how I know this.)
    (Damned disney channel.)
    😀

    • hahhahaha! Dark Sunglasses and diapers! (I know what you mean about the Disney channel. I think you’re referring to the hanging scene in the Apple Dumpling Gang if my memory serves me correctly.)

  3. Bhahaha! You’re killing me, Linda! (No, not literally.)
    “The Agony and the Ecstasy Only Ixnay on the Ecstasyay!” LOL!
    My other favorite, “Literally Lord of the Flies.” “The most effective step-by-step fly management program to date.” Oh my gosh – too funny. Now this is how I like to start my day. 😀
    Thanks for the early morning laughter!!
