AGNES by Tony Cochran
Sometimes we need to establish boundaries so that our friendships may continue.
That said, I’m confident my friends here in LJ-Land who are all exceedingly supportive (tolerant?)
of my bird mania would varnish my nose if I asked nicely.
Isn’t that right, friends?
Hellooooo? Anyone out there?
Tracy Abell 
In a heartbeat ;o)

Of course I would do it. But would you really like to varnish your nose?:)

I probably wouldn’t want to varnish my nose, but just the fact you’d do it if I asked is enough for me. 🙂

Who nose…
Well, Tracy World she had no varnished nose
Her Live Journal friends
At her question, froze
She asked slatts tell me
Where can I go?
Ol’ slatts said there’s only one place I know
She said tell me quick slatts I got to run
slatts whistled across his loaded gun
And said that way down on Highway 61.

You made me SMILE. Thanks for being willing to slather on the varnish, Susan.
As for boundaries in your friendships, I hope you’re holding the line and keeping you and your heart safe. I’m learning to advocate for myself a bit better in that area, too.

Okay, so if you see me coming across the open space with my bucket and brush, you’ll put on the paint smock and be ready. Right?

I’m whistling whatever will come out my currently un-varnished nose. But once it’s shellacked, all bets are off.
