Mafia Valentine Verses


My love for you... it came and went.
So your feet are now in wet cement.

I'm here To fulfill your fondest wishes
Now that your husband sleeps with the fishes.

Lie down with me -- it's my final offa,
Or you'll be lying wit' Jimmy Hoffa.

I picked up dis card from a slim selection
But that's all they offer here in witness protection.

Be my Valentine, and we can do it execution-style.

Cinderella got her fella, with a slipper made of glass;
So please be mine, Valentine, or I'll have to whack your......backside. 

Violets are blue, roses are red,
I blew up your car -- So why ain't you dead?

The day we met, my little pet, I knew with just one look
You'd bear a son, and now that's done, So shut your mouth and cook!

Youse da greatest. Youse da best.
But you're as untouchable as Elliot Ness.

Lust is fleeting, true love lingers.
Be mine always and you'll keep your fingers.

Hope da chocolates is good, but y'know, dis ain't really what a guy's heart looks like.

When a goon makes you die,
Cuz you told him goodbye -- that's amore!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next time you're invited to a boring social event, try one of these excuses to why you can't attend:

I'D LOVE TO BUT...

... I don't want to leave my comfort zone. ... I have some real hard words to look up in the dictionary. ... I have to answer all of my "occupant" letters. ... I have to fluff my shower cap. ... I have to fulfill my potential. ... I left my body in my other clothes. ... I made an appointment with a cuticle specialist. ... I'll be looking for a parking space. ... I'm being deported. ... I'm converting my calendar watch from Julian to Gregorian. ... I'm giving nuisance lessons at a convenience store. ... I'm going down to the bakery to watch the buns rise. ... I'm sandblasting my oven. ... I'm taking a crash course in punk totem pole carving. ... I'm worried about my vertical hold. ... I've come down with a really horrible case of something or other. ... I've got a Friends of the Rutabaga meeting. ... it's too close to the turn of the century. ... my Millard Filmore Fan Club meets then. ... my plot to take over the world is thickening. ... my subconscious says no. ... none of my socks match. ... the grunion are running. ... the last time I went, I never came back. ... the monsters haven't turned blue yet; I have to eat more dots.

Good morning everyboomie. 

Gads I'm in a hurry and my mind is a blank! 

Like I said, the first thing they taught me in art class was how to draw a blank, and I got an A+. 

My teacher said I was inspired.
And believe it or not, I've even gotten better with age. 

The thing that has not gotten any better with age, unfortunately, is inspiration. 

If perspiration really makes up for it though, I should be almost back to even. 

Well, almost nearly, but.....not.....quite.....hardly. 

I’ve gotta be getting close though. Yup

Another 5:00 start today. UGH!

Have a happy day everybody!

joe

Good morning Joe. That is awfully early to be going to work
Happy Friday to all

Good morning Joe, manxman and all. Happy Friday!

Good Morning Joe, manxman, Ana, Cailyn and Haroula. Wishing you and all my Diner Buddies a happy day filled with love and laughter!

Hello and goodbye.

Have a great Friday, everyone.

Good morning everybody!

Sorry I couldn't say hello yesterday. Headache was stonger than my will... Glad it's gone.

Joe: that is really too early to get up. Tell them!

Ana: so glad you finally came out of that corner. Guess it's running with the dogs and then Zumba for you? Enjoy!

Manxman: happy day to you too!

Good morning Sue and Haroula and Gerry and Venus

Good morning to all coming in after me. It's nice, sunny weather here in Switzerland but awfully cold. I'am not used to that.

Midge: I hope you'll find a perfect 2bedroom apartment for you and that you will be happy there and glad you are rid of the "old" Landlady. Tell her she's a "Bloedi Chue" (that's Swiss German, she won't understand). It means bl... cow.

We sold our old (12 years old) car to the daughter of a friend of mine and hubby just went to the garage to get our new car. I'am a bit sad today to have to leave my old car. We woman always are so emotional and are getting personal ties to "things", in my case a car. I was always patting his rump after the 8 hour drive from and to Italy. At 2 p.m. friends-daughters-hubby will come to collect the old car, and I fear I have to shed a few tears then. Sigh

Despite of all this, I wish everybody a happy and wonderful day!

Evelyne

Good Morning Boomers

Joe, It doesn't sound like you're a Morning person.

Manxman, good morning!

Ana, Woo Hoo. Enjoy the free day!

Cailyn, coffee..please and thank you.

Haroula, how is your weather this time of year?

Gerry, have a great day!

Venus, hi and bye.

Gimli, Glad you headache has gone. I'm sure you'll enjoy your new car also.

Will walk the dogs this morning. Heather did good with the dental surgery. Maybe a trip to K Mart this morning then getting some gaming in.

Happy day to All!

Good morning everyone. Not sure what's on the agenda for today yet. Ana, I'm glad you are out of the corner. Midge, I hope you find your new apartment quickly. To all here and all who follow, have a Wonderful TGIF. Danish and French Toast in the NC.

Where did the week go?

TGIF everyone

L4L

Howdy ho, sweet Joe! Thanks for the openers! Early to work, but early back home, yes?

Good morning, sweet 'Boomies!

Alrighty, gotta skoosh! See you later!

Good morning Joe and all Gameboomers! Happy Friday and best wishes for a wonderful weekend.

I'm off to a slow start, but I'm "Goin' Bowlin'"
It's payday so I'm pretty excited and making and changing plans constantly.

Gotta get moving!

Sharon

Happy Friday all!! Hope it's a good one.

Joe may work fly and go well. Thanks for the chuckles.

Ana hope it is warmer there for your run with the dogs then it was when Sassy and I went out. It was only 19F. Where is Indian Summer????? Enjoy your freedom!!

Manxman, Cailyn, Gerry, Sharon, Haroula, and venus!! Have a wonderful day!

Gail enjoy the walk and have fun shopping and gaming. Glad all is well now with Heather.

Darlene may work fly and go smoothly!!

Evelyne sorry about the head but so glad it is now better. HUGS! Good luck and hugs for when the old car goes to a new home. It will be nice to have a new one for all the traveling you do.

Soot enjoy the time off and hope it is relaxing for you!!

No plans till the taxi goes out and then I work the fish fry!!


Nan

Fantastic Friday ya'll

Soot is off so today will be a WoW day. Dogs are fed and coffee is at hand so life is good.

I can't believe it's already Friday! Dunno where my week went.

Good news is that the phone pole workers are back on the adjoining street. They started Wednesday and disappeared all day yesterday. So we get to see what they are up to today on the morning walk.

Bought 2 awesome blankies at the thrift store. They just got them in the day before (brand new in box). They are double sided plush (short soft) and feel like soft fur. Nice satin edging all around. Only paid 20 bucks each (bargained with one of the workers who knows me from years and years). Usually they won't discount NEW just arrived stuff, but I'm special. Washed and dried them. Washing was easy, drying not so much. Because they are two separate pieces joined by the edging, the rolled into a tight ball in the dryer and I had to go out every 10 minutes to undo the ball. Incredibly heavy when wet, like a comforter. But they came out looking fantastic, just like they went in, no fuzz, no lint on the dryer screen, awesome.

Anyway, looked them up on line and found that they are currently selling for 90 bucks each! I think the 20 was a good deal. Will be great for cold winter nights on the bed or just to wrap up in. I'm thrilled.

Hello again Boomies

Old car has gone to a new home But the new car is a real hit . (No Joe, I didn't hit something with the car, the car itself is a hit... LOL)

Nan: thank you for your kind words! Hugs right back at you This girl here is sooooo emotional

Guess I overdid my Smilie permission for today, so I'am signing off now. Got to change into nice cloth, because I'am going to an opening of a ceramist friend's exhibition tonight (with the new car - yay!). See you all tomorrow. Happy TGIF! Love,

Evelyne

Good morning boomies. No Zumba for me this morning. I woke with a blinding migraine that I knew was not going to be helped by jumping around so I went back to bed. I will take the dogs to the park after I have some lunch.

Sue, Haroula, Gerry, Venus, have a great day!

Evelyn, congrats on the new car! Mine is ten years old in a couple months and sadly in need of replacement also. I know what you mean on getting attached to them.

Gail, so glad your pup is doing well. Enjoy your walk.

Connie, anything fun come along yet?

soot, I hope you enjoy your vacation day.

Darlene, happy Friday! Is daughter loving her new house?

Sharon, have fun bowling!

Nan, it's 43 and sunny. I am not ready for the teens! Have fun at the fish fry tonight. I am in the mood for fish for dinner too.

L4L, enjoy your gaming day.

Okay....off to the park before I change my mind.

Hi boomies. I worked this morning and checked out an apartment but it's not what I'm looking for. I think this is gonna be harder than I thought. Very few choices. I'm off to get some moving boxes, then to my chiropractor, then maybe to see another place to call home. I hope you're all having a great day. Be back later.

Midgie

Hi guys, taking a break to see what ya'll have been up to.

Midgy, I hope you find the perfect place soon.

Ana, hugs to you. I hope the romp with the dogs squashes that nasty headache.

Back from dentist for the 6 month check-up. All OK whew. would be celebration with some hot pepper chipies but mouth kinda sore. Maybe later.

Beauty day-again. Warm and sunny and rainy on weekend hooray gaming weather.

Good for you Midge. She must pay you 100$/day befor the month end. Just think, you will be celebrating the holidays in a new place.

I'm cooking a vegge dish, it's lima bean bake and it sounds good -we shall see.

It's Doom time all

Good afternoon Boomers

Yankee Clipper -- I never heard of a lima bean bake. It sounds delicious!

Midge -- I know this must be so stressful for you. Not to mention financially "inconvenient". But anyone who wants to charge you $100 per day if you can't be moved on time is somebody you really need to get away from. I'm saying a prayer that you find the perfect place to move into. (I'm not sure what she's doing is legal. Have you checked those laws in your state??)

Nan, I can't imagine having to go for walks in 19 degree temps. I shiver just thinking about it. Sassy has a good friend.

Ana, sorry about the migraine. I hope you feel better soon.

I forgot how hard it is to walk that far. My legs hurt and I get very tired. Which just goes to show me that I need to keep doing it till it doesn't hurt anymore... Went to the Dunkin Donuts first to get a breakfast sandwich. Then went bowling and found I am really terrible at it. I didn't realize that my arms had lost strength as well - My right arm hurts now too! But it was fun and had the added advantage of also exercising various muscles.

So, a terrific day so far. Hope everyone else is enjoying themselves.

Ana I pray that the romp with the dogs and all the fresh air make the head all better! HUGS! We are at 36F now. At the wind isn't blowing.

Evelyne have a wonderful time tonight and enjoy the new wheels!!!

Sorta what a deal, enjoy!!

L4l happy gaming.

Yankee happy gaming to you too!

Space have a nice start to the weekend. Enjoy the evening.

Time to head out with the taxi and then on to work the fish fry! Have a wonderful afternoon and evening all.


Nan

Sharon, good for you

Yankee, I love limas, so sounds good to me. Glad the check up was good!

Afternoon Quest What's going on with you this afternoon.

Nan, have fun! Be safe!

Sleep well Haroula

Sharon B it's amazing how quickly we loose strength after we age a bit. When my last horse was buried -in my front yard btw- that happened to me. No more riding, jumping, dressage, but mostly throwing hay. Now I work out dailey, even if I don't feel like it.

The lima bake is pretty good and here it is:
Cook the dried limas
Saute onion and green pepper
Add cooked or canned tomatoes
Chili powder, salt, pepper -I used chili
peppers
Pour into casserole
Sprinkle with grated American Cheese
Bake 350 for 5 or so min
I used alot of onions and green peppers as they give a good flavor. A vegge meal

Remember to change clocks tomorrow night. Back

Sharon, I think I'm going with a 2 bedroom apartment not far from here. It's certainly big enough for what I'm bringing. I just can't wait to move out from under my landlady's eyes. She's gonna miss me. I was a great tenant.... no parties, no loud noises, I'm a neat freak, what more can you ask for? I just want to bring my son over to the apartment to see what he thinks. It won't change my mind though.

Midgie

Midge,

Glad you found something you like. Hope it is a safe place.

I am feeling much more normal now. Dogs and I are walked/run and I spent the last 4 hours cooking nonstop to fill the fridge with my usual side dishes. We all really missed them this week.

L4L, how is your gaming day going?

Midgie, any small houses or condos to rent? Have you checked if there is roomate service that maybe you can find someone like you to share a nice place with? My daughter and her fiance rent out a room in their house to help with the mortgage.

Yankee, I am soaking an array of beans, peas and lentils right now to make chili soup tomorrow.
I am glad your dentist visot went well.

SpaceQ, how you doing?

Sharon, so glad you did the walk and bowling! It will get easier each time.

Nan, have a fun evening. A walk with the dogs always makes me feel better.

Haroula, sweet dreams.

MaG, you snuck in there.

Woohooo Midgie, I know you are gonna love it. Does it have room for a treadmill?

Hi ya MaG

Ana, now you've gone and made me want 15 bean soup.

Thanks MaG . I'm gonna like it.

Night all. Ana I'm glad you're getting back to normal. I think your puppies are too. Work in the morning.

Midgie
edit:
L4L there is a workout room there with treadmills.

I is home!! Had a good time too. The VP of our wonderful country was here in my little town today and only 5 blocks from where I live. Something like that don't happen that often. Last time I was that close to one was President Kennedy and I got to shake his hand.

Ana what's normal??? Glad you are back to it and that you had a good run/walk with the dogs. Bet the rest of the house are glad too. Hope the head is better.

Midge glad you have found a nice place and that it is the size you are looking for. Night and sleep well.

Hi MaG!

Yankee that sounds good but would kill me since green peppers swell my throat shut. Enjoy!!

L4l hope you are having fun gaming the day away!


Nan

Thanks for the recipe Yankee Clipper. I'm going to try it.

Midge -- I'm so glad you found a place you like so quickly! I was worried about the time crunch. It isn't easy to find a place available when we need it which suits us. Really hope this works out well for you.

Good night Gameboomers!

Well, Soot and I had a fantastic day of gaming. But, it's time for bed so up I go to put together the day's meds and hit the hay.

Midgy, I'm glad you found something. Did Rob like it? When will moving day be?

Yankee, I printed that recipe out and will give it a try.

Nan, I'm so glad you had fun.

Night Sharon

Night all sleep well and pleasant dreams!!


Nan
