greeting with a wrinkled pucker and a bear hug

never wanting to leave

and that's the explanation of my phrase "it's insane to keep being sane!" well it's certainly un-welcomed, unexpected... but what can we do when it's hugged to us like a teddy bear? with a certain allure?! well nothing but to welcome it and hug back lol

lol. going with the flow. swimming against a rip current not an easy thing ... :)

An amazing metaphor! Insanity comes uninvited, unwanted and unannounced. We pull up the unwelcome mat but still it stays. It wants to dine with us, sleep in our beds and smell the roses.
I love it.

[Pete]

thank you sami. an unwanted guest indeed but knows how to knock and ring doorbells ... :)

[Sami Khalil]

Ding a long, chyme long. You are welcome Pete.

Insanity must have some kind of speech impediment. It keeps repeating itself.

[Pete]

what else would you expect from it ... :)

[Gee]

As a kid I only knew my siblings and mum, now I have chosen to.ditch the siblings and mum has popped her clogs
Pity you can't pick your family

[Pete]

as the old saying goes, "you can choose your friends but not your relatives". you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friend's nose either ... :)

The only thing worse than rampant insanity within one's family is having a clan like mine who won't acknowledge theirs! *wink! wink!*

[Pete]

they would look out the window and comment on what all the "crazy" neighbors were doing, oblivious to the fact that they had written the book on it ... :)

[barleygirl]

This is so hilarious, I choked! *smile*

[Ruth]

If only one could wipe it from their shoe on that rug but such visitation is not as easy to rid as that...nicely done Pete...

[Pete]

i guess it takes all kinds ... :)
