Rita Mae Brown’s got a point, ya know?

Neat list. I found a great one by Cher, that was about how her greatest fear was making safe choices. I’ve forgotten the actual wording, but the spirit remains with me.

Happy TT!

I really do have sick mind, I like the Ellen DeGeneres quote.

My memory is so bad, that I can’t remember quotes, but I do have a bumper sticker that says:
“Maybe the Hokie Pokie, is what it’s all about”.

Fun list Shelly!
