    Internal organs are fairly sturdy. This may take a while.

    A hair dresser will be requiredWherever she lands. The land of OZ for example. Where she to retire in other places than the farm in Kanas. Who knows who will win the NCAA Tournament. Her brain organ may carry the J Hawks.

    Perfectly varnished and spackled until the end. Then voom, everything internal goes at once, leaving a slowly draining shell.

    Funny you should mention MAKEUP! Slapstick comedy in the 50’s used to have a huge powder puff and when someone called for makeup, this giant puff came in and smacked the person in the face with powder! I guess you had to be there….ahem!

    I’m awful sorry to hear about Flightsuit’s injury. Any hand-modeling ambitions he may have had will have to be put on hold.

    …not a fan of the mystery genre…

    …I’m not smart enough to solve them…

    …but hunting your own clone…

    …and if the clone wins…

    …you lose…

    …except clones don’t/ won’t ever truly work…

    …even if you could collect memories…

    … the primaeval ooze never compatible to exact replication…

    …life creates its own chaos…

    …as Scrooge so famously said…

    …“There is more gravy than grave about you.”…

    …Ethyl’s clone has won so much…

    …that they are calling her the human ship of Theseus …

    …or ‘The’ for short…

    …I saw this on the Froglandia Tv show…

    …" Don’t look Ethel …

    My father in law had a heart attack. He called 911, put on a sport coat and tie, and waited for the ambulance on the front porch. The house was a mess.

    The Hayflick Limit is a concept that helps to explain the mechanisms behind cellular aging. The concept states that a normal human cell can only replicate and divide forty to sixty times before it cannot divide anymore, and will break down by programmed cell death or apoptosis.

    We die cell by cell until there are not enough living cells to sustain us.

    Do you expect me to disagree with this, reflexively? Au contraire, ma Soeur! It is logical.

    As one lives, so should one die. Fate has spoken….
