Dealing with Conflict

Please read the author notes before you continue.
 
Here I go again, and this time with help from my FanStory friends, who must have caught the fever I have, it seems, even if only temporarily.

How so? Judge for yourselves whether the reviews that arrived for my Confused or Bewildered posting have been on par with the nonsensical senselessness I write, like Br. Goff penned. "I have often wondered why our brains do not spill out of our ears, nose and mouth. 

And Sr. Hamilton authored, I quote, " most of your writing... leaves me neither confused or bewildered but rather hungry for salt water taffy because it sticks to my teeth like your words stick to my brain and there's no floss around that can help me get unstuck after reading your mystifying memoirs.

If I never accomplish another thing in my life, and that is a possibility, making people smile now and then, so they tell me occasionally... okay, daily, is the highlight of another GOD-gifted day. 

As demented or mystifying as my mind may be, it is what HE has given me, and to do any less with my "special" talent might be disappointing to HIM. That would make me sad, not glad, like you are, obviously, for here you are reading me... again! Or is it because I offer member cents? Hmm. 

As an aside, did Tweety Bird of cartoon fame tweet or chirp? All I read of its speech was in English, not birdie talk. Perhaps, it (not knowing if Tweety was m/f) left that for Conrad Birdie, played by Jessie Pearson in the 1963 movie featuring Ann Margaret.

Addedly, instead of additionally, did you know that Bye, Bye Birdie was inspired by Elvis's induction into the U.S. Army and that Pearson's character (Conrad Birdie) was wordplay for country singer Conway Twitty, who at the time was an idol teen-pop artist?

By the way, it's only now (the time is 10:12 5/2/24) that I think I found a contest for this to go on, though the originator of said challenge may question if this qualifies, which it should since fighting madness is a daily ordeal.

To end, I leave you with the closing remark of Looney Tune cartoons - That's All Folks!

This is one of seven or eight demented stories told by me, and you can read the others in my portfolio, each that reads as an escapee from an asylum. Enjoy or not and then leave a comment.

The photo is my own Buddy dog depicting how some may feel after reading another journal entry like this one as there are a few already mentioned in note one herein.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
