So the world at large is waiting for Mary Moffett aka TEFF to jump forth like a budding rose. Moving is hell on the nerves. All is well, all is secure as the race to end this rental continues as another venture begins. This happens to us all from time to time as years build into chuncks of decades and we say farewell to old haunts while friends and relatives from all walks of life gather around us with a ring of support worth the marvelous compliment of love and trust.

Stained glass throughout used in the manner of the fad to collect same and put these art works into additions forty years ago. Imagine if you will 5 acres, lawns, pines, wisteria, Judas tree, lilacs, sycamores & oaks & maples higher than the house itself adjacent to a woods.

my keyboard is not working proper off air for now TEFF The above is not what Teffy likes to wake up to yesterday. Stifle, silent is not the way to go for this author.

Now the butterfly bush is under wraps, as these incoming blow outs effects its broad grayish leaves. Take no chances.

Doncha see there's come a time in the week's occupation known as the friction hour. When Dan Brown starts to defend his novel's worth as real, yet maintain the genre as fiction, arising to the right are now an entire week's worth of Decoding on History Channel. Da Da Doncha Code is the Teffomism version of a combination of random mundane things TV tosses in our direction. Me? I like to think that descendants of Mary Magdelen were mermaids.

Pappy Gamble, son of the original founder of Gamble Copper Mining, tosses and turns abed upstairs. Hearing strains of rock & roll ascend the high staircase, he feigns sleep listening to the conversation below with no trouble distinguishing Barry's deep voice from Modesta's shrills. That little one can break the eardrum of a rockstar, he thinks. Pap's never been inundated by worry. Au contraire, he's in line with the planets when it comes to embracing the powerful alterna...

Always kinda thought blogs were ID-ed as open book on opinion. Journalism has a different meaning. Editorials, letters to the editor, these are opinions. Reviews are reviews, sums of articles etc. Reviews on WC are detailed and fit the bill as edits. Just pointing out definitions do exist both with or without spin.
