You say dangerous and invasive......I say beautiful and free spirited.It's true, it's true, I say!
(and not being friends over someone's opinion of a dangerous invasive plant... my, you've set a high bar there.)
I'm right, btw.
When people come to you with gossip...Do you ask...

I heard that Sunny
likes to braid daisies in her hair and then take moonlit boat rides on the viaduct....
You got it about half right.......
Wait!!! Have you been following me?
Didn't notice that new "shrub" by the trumpet vines did you?
Uh-oh......
I've been spraying the area by the vines with a special fertilizer to help them grow bigger, faster.......
I hope I didn't accidentally spray you

Define special......
Define special......
....as in, I concocted it myself.....using rare vitamins and other ingredients
Any side effects I should know about? Are things going to start growing on me? Are trumpet vines going to replace my ear and nose hair or something worse?
I'm not sure.....I have only tested it on plants. They grow especially tall, green, and leafy.....and when they bloom, the flower blossoms are vibrant and huge!!
You haven't noticed any new sprouts, have you?
If people start calling you Jordy or Mr. Verrill, you might want to see someone about that.
I only make the Meteor Sh*t recipe during the winter months......If people start calling you Jordy or Mr. Verrill, you might want to see someone about that.
Well, my No No has been working overtime lately and I had an urge to climb the trellis yesterday. Most troubling is the bees I keep finding in my pants. They don't sting they just look hopeful......

Oh Lord........I haven't seen any meteorites since the Perseid's.......
What I said wasn't to the gossiper. there was a group of us in the school yard and this one person (and I use that term loosely) was telling them all that this other woman always wore sun glasses to cover the bruises because her husband beats her.
The sunglasses wearing woman had previously been a very close friend of mine, but she had kind of cooled towards me. She wasn't rude exactly....just avoided me. I had no idea why.
Anyway, I made a point of waiting for her to walk to school to pick up our kids. I told her what the other woman had said. And I told her if she wanted to charge her with defamation of character...I'm in. (I guess it would actually be the woman's husband...but anyway....)
So we get to the school yard and the gossipy crowd are all standing around and the woman I'm with walks right into the middle of them. Turns, looking at each person, making sure they are looking at her. Takes off her sun glasses and again turns, looking at each individual, and ends staring eye-to-eye with the one who had said it. Then without saying a word walked away.
Then we talked....and talked. It turned out the lieing gossiper had told her I had been saying nasty stuff about her daughter. Her daughter was pre-school and didn't speak clearly. One day I had been in a rush and didn't have time to walk slowly with my friend and her daughter. The other woman told her I was "always" complaining about how her daughter talks.
We instantly became best friends again. And I mean instantly. I totally understood why she had believed the gossiper. She was a very convincing liar.
If the humming birds show up, you might have a problem.....
Brace yourself......you may be in for a show!!!!!
Never was a fan of gossip.Won't even listen to it. My favourite line? "Tell someone that cares" and then I walk away. Must sound rude and I
guess it is but just don't have time for crap. IF it is about me; the same response. If the person cannot say it to my face, it and they lose
credibility with me.
I'm not big on gossip, mostly because it is so uninteresting. Consequently i don't hear much.
