Bread ~ Baby I’m-a Want You
I’ve always liked that one. Probably because it makes me feel 15 again. 
That’s it for this week’s Mambo, my lovely kittens. I enjoyed it and I hope you did too!
Here’s a nice quote to end this post:
Release my body with your lips, and stir my soul with the heat of your kiss.

AHAHAHA!

That’s a good one, isn’t it? I swear I just about peed myself from laughing. 
I hope you all have a really nice Monday. The Mememeister has been recuperating from a surgery, so that’s why the Mambo hasn’t been posted lately. (Get well soon, rfduck!) I might post some music later this week, just because I like to do it and others enjoy it too.
I’ve got a busy day ahead. Driving over to Wisconsin to see The Pillman (that sounds so nefarious, doesn’t it?) and then I’ll probably head south to Illinois just to bum around in Galena awhile. I’m taking my camera, so if I get any good shots I’ll share them with you.
Love one another ~
Thursday’s Pretty… late but great!

A study in contrasts: light and dark, smooth and rough, large and small, rustic and refined. And the name “Adamas”? It is the ancient Greek word for diamond, and it means “invincible” or “indestructible.”
This necklace is one-of-a-kind.
Details:
~ 3 Grey Diamonds, 2-3mm in size, rough nugget cut. For as tiny as these gemstones are, they still give off a fascinating sparkle whenever they get the chance.
~ 1 River Stone, naturally smoothed by the waves, about 24mm long. Its evenly patterned black and deep brown color serves as a perfect backdrop for the diamonds.
~ All metal work is .925 Sterling Silver. The Sterling Silver chain is 2×3mm and measures approximately 24 inches long. Lobster claw clasp.
I’ll be listing The Adamas Necklace this Saturday (tomorrow) so if you’re interested, be sure to check it out in my shop. It would make a great gift for yourself or someone you love!
I’d also like to mention that The Jacqueline Necklace which was featured here a couple of weeks ago is now on its way to its new owner. (She knows who she is.) 
Several people asked about it and said they couldn’t find it in my shop, so I felt it was necessary to explain that it never made it there. I’ll try not to send you all on a wild goose chase again!
Are you all looking forward to the weekend? I am. Lots of stuff to do around here, but we’re going to get another cold spell so it will be a good time to stay in and get some work done.
More again soon!

Can you believe that!? Zero. Nada. NO ONE in the entire USA with *my* name.
This means that I am in full stealth mode, people. I can do whatever I want. I can sneak across the borders totally undetected, too, because I suspect I may also have invisibility privileges with this “zero existence” thing.
Um. Either that or I misspelled my own name.
(I DIDN’T… I know I didn’t…)
So beware. Since I am now nameless and invisible, I shall be visiting you all quite often just to play tricks and have fun.
Misplace your keys? (That was me.)
Your computer is behaving mysteriously? (Probably me.)
Your underpants suddenly creep up like you just got an atomic wedgie? (Me. Me. ME.)
Bwaaahahaha… let the mayhem begin!
WTF Lemurday.

AAaaaahahahahaha! Good lord! Is it Buddha? Is it Gene Simmons?
No! It is LEMUR! Respect the lemur, people… and the lemur shall respect you.
I really don’t have too much to WTF about today. The weather is perfect, the trees are getting leaves on them, and I’m saving all of the really gnarly stuff for therapy this afternoon anyway.
Gotta make Dr. K earn his pay, dontcha know.
(I swear if he ever read that, he’d have me committed just for being an incurable smartass.)
There’s always room to bitch about politics, however, and I think I’ve picked apart an interesting phenomenon that seems to be occurring in the Democratic race for the nomination.
Did you ever notice that before important primaries that Bill Clinton goes out in front of the media and makes a complete jackass out of himself? It’s almost like clockwork! I think there are three possibilities here.
1. He really *is* an attention hog who can’t keep his mouth shut about anything whenever the spotlight is on him.
2. He is purposely (or perhaps subconsciously) undermining Hillary’s political ambitions - because, let’s face it, she’s an absolute c*nt. You know, I know it, and the American people know it. Who wouldn’t want to get a little revenge on her?
And finally…
3. It is all orchestrated and Bill is doing it intentionally because it will rally the voters to come out and support Hillary in droves. All of the women whose men have “done them wrong” will view her as a heroine with that doofus albatross of a husband hanging around her neck. They won’t want to see her lose the nomination simply because of him and his big mouth.
It makes her a special interest group underdog, and Bill is wagging that underdog.
It’s so diabolical, I wish I had thought of it!
(Oh wait… I did.) 
In other WTF news, gas prices are !@#%$ outrageous. In my opinion, Big Oil is sensing the shift to alternative energy resources and they are going to grab every f-ing penny they can before everyone has a better (and consistent) choice to rely on.
I can buy the fuel I want and go where I need to go, but other than that, I say SCREW the gas gougers. It’s not so hard to combine trips and cut back a little bit. Creating a glut is the only way to get back at them and bring the prices down.
So you do it too.
Unless you’re a part of Big Oil, then I suggest you do something else: kiss our collective American ass, you money grubbing bastard.
Parting shot: Jimmy Carter is a moron. A sweet, gentle moron - but a moron nonetheless.
He should not be poking his nose in foreign affairs. His passport should be taken away, just like one would take away the car keys from the feeble old uncle who shouldn’t be driving anymore. It’s simply better for everyone involved.
Putting him on house arrest might not be a bad idea either. Let him sit in the parlor and play with his peanuts. 
Ok, the WTF Lemurday mini-rants are over. Thank goodness it only happens once a week. I don’t think I could handle being a sarcastic bitch 24-7.
Stop looking at me like that…
Welcome to the here and now.
My name is Christine Thurow and I am a professional artist, living in my lovely home state of Iowa. My humor is sarcastic, my wit dry and my appetite for unbridled hedonism, ravenous. Did I say hedonism? I meant intelligent exchange.
