LOL!! I always think I ought to put a disclaimer on these 'thoughts' which would read as follows:

'Whilst posting 'thoughts' the Huggy Merchant cannot be held responsible for any accident, incident, high, low, confusion, delusion, laugh, barf, cry, sigh, lie, affair, sweat, birth, death, toil (or trouble), pain, maim, shame, repent, event or impotent. She posts all of 'em but that doesn't mean she believes all of 'em. Have a thoughtful day!'
