Captain Kirk could defeat the logical alien invader with those, it would simply self destruct halfway through the list. They "don't compute".

Hey Mamahen...
I'm sorry but that's just way too cold for me! However, the fruit salad sure sounds good!

Thanks for coming by today!



Hey Phyllis...
You ladies always make me hungry talking about all this good stuff to eat!

Thanks for coming by to share some sunshine!



Hey Linda M...
I am starting to think that Winter is going to stick around your place for a while!

Thanks for stopping by today!



Hey Sunnybrook...
Some of them certainly don't compute at all!

Thanks for the visit today!



Hey Jo...
Yesterday was really windy here, but so far today, it's very pleasant!

Thanks, sweetie, for coming over this morning!
