CC sent us a joke! It's hilarious, thank you, CC.
A man walks out to the street and hails a taxi just going by.
He gets into the taxi, the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Frank."
Passenger: "Who?"
Cabbie: "Frank Feldman... he's a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time."
Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody."
Cabbie: "Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone, and danced like a Broadway star. And you should have heard him play the piano! He was an amazing guy."
Passenger: "Sounds like he was somebody really special."
Cabbie: "Oh hell there's more. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order, and which fork to eat it with. And he could fix anything. Not like me, I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, he could do everything right."
Passenger: "Wow, some guy then."
Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made mistakes, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never argue back, even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too. He was the perfect man! I never knew him to make a mistake! No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman."
Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?"
Cabbie: "Well. I never actually met Frank. He died, and I married his f+%$#*g widow!

Black & White fashion
When I did the post about 1950's fashion, I came across many pictures by the eccentric British photographer Norman Parkinson. I had too many photos for that one, so I saved these for a new post.
[Fashion posts make me think of CC and Amy...]
Black:
White:
Curiosity: the model in the middle of the black and of the white pictures is Parkinson's third wife, Wenda Rodgerson. Here she is again, in a very lovely photo:

I could spend a long time here...
This bathroom is very beautiful and there's so much to do! I could see a line forming at the door while I studied the pictures on the wall or read some of the books!

Dealing with annoying people
I came across some wise words and some funny pictures that can be helpful when dealing with people who emanate bad vibes... I think all of us have wasted time and energy trying to accommodate intolerant, stubborn or simply annoying people who won't change. It's funny how we can be very fastidious clearing overflowing cupboards, but we tend to neglect our emotional "cupboards." It's not always possible to distance ourselves completely from difficult people, of course. They may be a relative or a co-worker, but it's ok to click on a mental "ignore" button...
