Forget the heart...it's the ankles that ache and break...(waitress's lament)...
I stand upon them every day
My feet that is, oh dear
But my ankles
They do ALL the work
"Sit down" they seem to
Scream and cheer!
My achy breaky ankles
Are victims, yes they are
And until I can get off of them
They'll have to stand up tall
Or buckle underneath me and then
Jack and Jill will falllllllllllll
Oh my...I MOST DEFINITELY can find a common denominator to this...I too waitressed once...now I am a CNA...ACK what's the differance...still my blasted ankles (and knees too) ache!
Glad I stooped by!

Make your husband let you ride on his back for awhile in the Diner, but don't drip no coffee on him? You might try some roller skates. Yes Lynn, I'm insane, hee, hee, have always been that way. It's a harmless insane though. I'm enjoying your book, my sis, Laura wants to read it. Laura was amazed of your picture and your Axelson look. Rub & soak those ankles cuzz, I said so............

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
Deputy Dave Jenkins sets out to find the murderer of the local high school principal, aided by a voice from the grave that is sometimes helpful and sometimes misleading.
"Murder isn't usually this funny."
