Looking for a sturdy mattress

[the mingo]

Ain't heard Marianne Faithfull in years. She gave me a bad case of the hots back there in the summers of the late sixties. I've always wondered about that, not deeply introspective but curious. Why the presence of some women will spin one about like a ship caught in a storm while others catch an interest only generally.

I've heard it's chemicals in the brain or dna or "hard-wired" & blahblahblah.
No one can explain that bad tug on the heart. That something where you can eat & eat & eat & never get your fill. You enter hungry and you stay that way.

Yeah, that.

Yep, spinning in the swoosh
our hairs twisting to the roots,
what a whirl the buzz.
It's got me up,
got me spun.

Been hanging for two days looking at women
and he's still tango, ya know.

Thanks, mingo for this drawing,
I thought one big knot, thinking statue,
liking what's done. You got it right.

Read all your posts this morning wow you've been busy bees up down & sideways. I got a leak I think on my Jeep. I keep addin' but after a couple of days the puter goes "Danger Will Robinson Danger!" "Low coolant level!" but I ain't lookin at it 'til it warms up 'round here as long as it keeps runnin' cool. I'll put some magic juice in it & cross my fingers & hope the line holds 'til April at least. In this world of wonder what's next? Well I, for one, have to take out the trash. Hey, I'm almost done with The Host. How you doin' with Anna Karenina?

[SadLuckDame]

Yes, every things got such a grip,
it's gotten aggravating.
Damn, I want heat.

Gonna go read some more Anna Karenina in my electric blanket.
I don't know what else to do. I'm frozen stuck solid.
I'm no wheres near to done it.
What book ya gonna knock out next?

Specking of cheer, you said, Doll, gonna be alright'.

I hear ya on the heat - we are in the midst of another cold snap here. I am tired of this winter. I know the season is changing underneath even as I speak but it can't get out of here fast enough.

I don't know what I'm gonna read next. The first two books were good reads. I want another good reads, good stories. I want another of those. But I ain't had a chance to look at what's available. Maybe do that this morning. Thought maybe I might want to read some gritty detective fiction.
Sometimes just when I need my mind the most if just goes blank. Ain't that a kicker?

The sun is so bright out there & it's so cold.

Did you get a new book to get into, mingo?
It snows every day here.

Thx, Doll, good song and I needed it. Last howl outta the woods tonight for me.
I'll catch ya tomorrow.

[SadLuckDame]

Might keep ya up all night.

[the mingo]

Now that's my kind of wicked. Don't believe I'll be readin' any gospel tonight.
Double Thx, Ann.

When we sleep well, dear mingo
it's like two cocoons broken at the seams
and twisted on the bottom.

There is the next moment
then the next.

[SadLuckDame]

Someone posted the last one and I thought I'd take it away and bring here.

[the mingo]

didn't see these 'til this morning - yesterday was such a whirl all over. Glad I caught them though. I ain't heard any of these before. Really really liked the first one, Chasing cars. The last one rocked me too, different than the first one but just as good for me. Been there. Thx, Doll.

Mrs. Jessica Rabbit too much for my fossils to be bothering. Think I'll drive on into town with a dark cloud above me. Maybe catch a trout.
