I passed it on the way to pick up griff (of course I was running late) so I called Linda because I wasn't sure it was a friendly fire, but hesitated calling 911 for a leaf burning... Anyway, she was headed that way to pick up Sarah and said she'd check it out and act accordingly.

I think that putting on make-up can be very loin-girding. <br /><br />Mungam- You crack me up, you silly boy! Yeah, there are many loins out there these days which need girding. WHEN is this trend going to end? I mean really- I have no personal fight to pick with it. If fellas want to have to hold up their pants all the time with their hand that is fine with me. I just do not understand the longevity of the style. <br />Lloyd is in the county of Root Hog Or Die. Feral cats are lucky as shit to get a dish of generic Friskies and they know it.<br /><br />Birdie- I prefer my nightgown but that's a personal choice and I get your point and agree.<br /><br />N2- Today I have spoken more than I have done in the getting-out-and-dong realm.

Once your pants have dropped below your ass (so fashionable amongst my younger brethren), you must gird them up to run, or work, or participate in civilized damn society. <br />To gird your loin garments is to belt them, to make them functional for labor or effort. Now if you gird too much, you'll get your loinies in a bunch so be careful (that's right; I'm talking to you Isaiah!).<br /><br />Which county is Lloyd in?
