The ideal death, I think, is what was the ideal Victorian death, you know, with your grandchildren around you, a bit of sobbing. And you say goodbye to your loved ones, making certain that one of them has been left behind to look after the shop. ↗

I love to be with my son and my grandchildren, like normal people. I have no particular idea of what I represent to other people. It's very mysterious to me. I don't understand it. ↗

Well Washington DC what are you going to do. They think the capitol steps are the state of the art in comedy. You try to drag them into the 20th century let alone the 21st and they refuse to come with you. ↗

A mother becomes a true grandmother the day she stops noticing the terrible things her children do because she is so enchanted with the wonderful things her grandchildren do. ↗

Do you still look at each other like you once did, back at the beginning of the story when everything was a question you were too afraid to find the answer to? ↗

For brick and mortar breed filth and crime, With a pulse of evil that throbs and beats; And men are whithered before their prime By the curse paved in with the lanes and streets. And lungs are poisoned and shoulders bowed, In the smothering reek of mill and mine; And death stalks in on the struggling crowd— But he shuns the shadow of the oak and pine ↗

With a Luxury Chauffeur Company for Your Executive Needs When we think of the directiechauffeur service we might typically envision a motorist in a smartly pressed uniform and a limousine - a big, important-looking automobile to drive us to someplace essential, on an essential day. A short but swift burst of speed and luxury from one point to another point on the vacation that means more to us than most trips ever will, and will certainly remain with us for longer. Of course, it is all of these things. However it is actually a lot more also. It is, really, a bespoke experience completely tailored to your personal requirements, with each aspect of-the service both designed and performed solely with your expectations in mind. There is a whole lot of reasons why one might choose to utilize a limo service, but basically they boil down either to party or to convenience. If one is being driven to a point of destination by a chauffeur it's commonly either an once in a lifetime event, or alternatively it is because there is no simpler or less stressful way to travel to a particular port of call. It is trivial to organise a limousine for-a wedding, a motorist who's dedicated to getting you to-the church on time and without forever stealing a glance at his wristwatch in expectation of his next customer. On such an once in a lifetime affair no other style of wedding transport comes anywhere close. When convenience is what you're looking for allowing a seasoned chauffeur to take on the weight of organising your transport needs would be to alleviate your own self of the pain of being diverted or upset by peripherals when all your focus needs to be upon the job with which you have been entrusted. Airport transfers and excursions outside to company meetings are also instances once the traveller actually has to be with his or her thoughts, considering what will be occurring during the hours ahead and focusing on the events of the day. As a possible source of strain travelling and all other peripheral activity needs to-be eradicated. ↗

We owe Clint Eastwood a debt of thanks. Not only because it was truly a hilarious twelve minutes of improvised "awesome" in a week of scripted "blah". But because it advanced our understanding. This president has issues, and there are very legitimate debates about his policies and actions, and successes and or failures as president - I mean, tune in next week. But I could never wrap my head around why the world, and the president republicans describe, bears so little resemblance to the world and the president that I experience. And now I know why : There is a president Obama that only republicans can see ↗

There's a girl calm people don't know about. It's a girl teen standstill. A motionless peace. It doesn't come from anywhere but inside us, and it only lasts for a few years. It's born from being a not woman yet. It's free flowing and invisible. It's the eye of the violent storm you call my teenage daughter. In this place we are undisturbed by all the moronic things you think about us. Our voices like rain falling. We are serene. Smooth. With more perfect hair and skin than you will ever again know. Daughters of Eve. ↗
