Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 31, 2023

A crib foot note prints of my finger and DNA

It’s the only flying lesson you’ll ever need.

I love Pema Chodron!

“You know that feeling when you lean back too far in your chair and almost fall over? I feel like that all the time.”

- Comedian Steven Wright.

Probably a good idea to stay out of the nest the first time.

truth….Chodron fan here.

Good. I can find better stuff under rocks than what I get regurgitated to me.

Hard to afford even a nest anymore…nothing sadder than a homeless bird!!

A daily smack in the head with a clue-by-four is what it takes to survive in this world.

Pema does the throwing. Nice spiel, Pema.

Wonder if that guy is a veterinarian?

Somebody throw me!

I suppose it really wakes up the senses, ya know…..fresh air and all…..

Every day, I earn my wings. Unlike Ms. Jong, I have no fear of flying.

I see our esteemed Ms. Teresa has activated her inner Keith Haring.

Yes, especially when someone slips sand into your pants!!

I had to read “The Education of Henry Adams” in English 1A. I realized that that was the theme of the book. Every time you think you have things figured out they change the rules on you. My instructor liked my paper,.

Moral of the story: Be careful where you build your nest.

Reminds me of my favorite Bowie quote: “If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.”

one of life’s struggles

…and really, sizzlingly pi$$ed off.

French toast chasers.

Drunken Sailors again.

…well, there goes my nest egg…

…diving into wind turbines…

…I’ve been kicked out of worse places than nests…

…Van Gogh…

…van don’t stop…

…no brakes…

…Space Capt. Cody…

…look ma, not net…

…(poor Dick Grayson)…

…I have never been afraid…

…just mighty concerned…

…yes, but when God does it…

…people get pi$$ed…

…Frog Applause…

…kicking us out of the nest since before we were too young to get kicked out of the nest…

…ok OK ok ok…

…I’ll try Coke Zero…

Don’t Tickles on spy cam pickles with Don Rickles bringing home a Hooker to the bird nest.

Just watching a show about Nova Scotia on the CW. It’s called Moonshine.

That advice is for the birds!

It’s a hard-knock life, and some learn their coping skills at the School of Hard Knocks (not to be confused with the school in the Robert Conrad TV epic, Hard Knox), or at the School of Life, such as columnist John Kass says on his page on that social networking site (whose name is anathema).

I need this as wallpaper right now.
