The dental hardware is truly yours. Lucille Ball used to quote herself as always answering “Yes” when someone asked whether that red hair was “hers.” Then she’d confide, “I paid for it. Doesn’t that make it mine?”
That's a truly great post, Leah. A few lies just drag along behind you your whole life, don't they? Kind of like gum stuck to your shoe. The Oval Office dude... I don't know. Whoa.
You know all the best places to shop particularly for clothes. I’d love to read a post by you about shopping for clothes!! Meanwhile, this one was delightful. I am not lying. Really. No, I mean it. Honestly.
Oh, THAT'S why I couldn't find the garden shoes I sought at the Fillmore Goodwill. They were at Haight Street. Discerning shopping gets more and more difficult. 😞
Delightful piece, as always, but I wanted to know what lie did you tell? That these were your honest-to-god teeth? Or that you had perfect dentures? And did that satisfy the old bohemian, so that she had no more questions or comments she could muster?
Well, there are a few implants. So nodding YES, which is what I did, makes me a liar. Except, of course, if you think of the implants as now all MINE. That's what I try to do most of the time. x
A green thumb? BTW, the Autopen Presidency lied for four years. Well, the economy is humming, too bad the MIC wants to keep this ghastly war going. Cheers.

Oh I always look to Ball as an icon of ethics! Your painting of the pink ladies is fabulous
Your post is priceless. Love the comment about the teeth. Oh and the Hermes scarf!!!!
Oh, I am a big Goodwill aficionado!

I can still picture the garbage can!

They are even too big on me. They would ENGULF your dainty tootsies
I always feel better after reading what you've written. Thanks!
What a wonderful comment. Now I feel better, too
greenburg doesn’t lie.
Well, his "model dog" imitation is a total piece of performance art
I laughed out loud. “Always finish your banana!” Words to live by. ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah, that scolding probably is responsible for adding many pounds over the years
I am so glad to be able to read your delightful posts again— and now in English, not Italian!! Hooray!! Xxx Sandy
Thanks, Sandy!
Pleased at punch to read this cheerful bite (sorry) of vestpocket philosophy. Rock on, Ms. Garchik!
Thank you!
Love it, dear Leah.
