Looks like I have my five shots for the Artist Gallery Photography Contest.

I posted the fifth one in an earlier post.

@MrsEthanBrooks I am so glad you asked about what to do with an energetic five-year-old.

As I have a wonderful solution that will drain even the most energetic child.

You send the child outside.

Outside to play.

On a swing set.

Please get out and play…

I am watching a creepy movie and thinking: all of this could be avoided by getting a dog. A very big dog.

Even a small dog and a gun would work.

@MrsEthanBrooks I just love all the drama.

Love all the analysis.

Love all the grid lines.

Please get out and play.

@vazserox @MomKrill That reminds me of an old joke from an old movie that I enjoyed because I am old:

Don’t worry, John, Doctor Richards hasn’t lost a father yet.

@HLC_actual The Top Score belongs to the B2.

Thanks for all the work you do.

We appreciate your expertise and humor.

@ReluctantActvst @Kristinartz Yes, if the husband has died: we call the woman a widow.

I have many widows in my family.

If the woman divorces her husband, she is called a divorcée.

I have some divorcées in my family.

(Although, not many since divorce is cost prohibitive in my family.)

@KingONumbers @GreatLakesWife_ If your must use an apostrophe because you have a need of it, then use it this way:

The ‘80s music scene is your favorite.

@ZagCreations @Kristinartz Bachelor.

@HLC_actual @ASo1omons Hey, I have a relevant question:

Are we back to our normally scheduled HLC drops of Monday and Friday at noon central daylight time?

Or is this going to be a Friday only?

Just trying to manage my addiction, er, expectations.

@wolfncrisis So, do you think you will talk first or will the Siberian Husky talk first?

You two are close relatives.

[APS - Alcohol, Photography, Sports @EssentiallyAPS]

The AI must have been paired with Grandpa Buff.

Hat Tip: @HLC_actual

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

History of AI students are going to love this one.

@dennis_foutch @HarmeetKDhillon Oh dear, I said the same thing and I am getting slammed.

Good luck, my friend.

@yacineMTB The Thin Man, it is a comedy/mystery from 1938 or 1936, I can’t remember which year.

[APS - Alcohol, Photography, Sports @EssentiallyAPS]

@patgotweet @Kristinartz In that case we call them widows and divorcées.

[APS - Alcohol, Photography, Sports @EssentiallyAPS]

@loudproudTexan @Kristinartz What, exactly, is offensive about spinster?

Is it offensive because it merely sounds harsh to you?

[APS - Alcohol, Photography, Sports @EssentiallyAPS]

@wolfncrisis I don’t know about rudest, but the Siberian Husky will be the first animal to actually form sentences.

[APS - Alcohol, Photography, Sports @EssentiallyAPS]

@burgy369 @Kristinartz Spinster is not derogatory. It is descriptive.

You are describing someone, a woman, who was never married.

Much like you would call an unmarried man a bachelor.

If he were widowed, he would be a widower and if he were divorced, he will be a divorcé.

@seswope @canuckfan87 @GraceOM63384867 @Kristinartz Wow! I had Everclear that burned less than that.

[APS - Alcohol, Photography, Sports @EssentiallyAPS]

Less than what?

Women had their place in that society. Whether they liked it or not, their place was to marry well, have an heir and a spare and live in their husband’s home until their husbands died.

Then, if they were good mothers, and had a strong relationship with their sons, they could stay in that home until they died, but it was not always thus.

Jane Austen wrote Sense and Sensibility with this premise in mind. The husband dies, can’t leave anything for his second wife and daughters and they all were destitute and had to move into a cottage.

As far as fair goes, well, we are in a fallen world, full of death and sin; therefore, fair is a term we use to describe the weather.

@coraxblvd @Kristinartz They can be, or they can be miserable.

A relationship doesn’t make your problems go away, it just makes them different.
