Might be the someone's trying to remind me of something.<br /><br /> AA's can be a "contentious lot." With a a whole month of sobriety under my belt I announced I had quit smoking. Received much flack about endangering my sobriety but here I am 15 years later a sober non-smoker. I also weigh 30 lbs more than I did. So let them eat cake.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00533184345345882921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-53929341944844844472011-09-09T11:59:06.476-07:002011-09-09T11:59:06.476-07:00@ Kirk ~ Oh, I can niggle out curious/fun/awful/th...@ Kirk ~ Oh, I can niggle out curious/fun/awful/thought provoking art from all manner of places. Not that I know you like the talking skeletons, I have some images I will e-mail that I think may please you. I, too, am drawn to skeleton and Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) art. Actually, "bones" has been quite a theme through several things in my life.<br /><br />AA isn't against anything whatsoever, Kirk. AA, the organization, neither supports nor opposes anything. It exists purely for the purpose of helping drunks get sober. That spin was just the contentious woman's take on things.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195616894993495285.post-69318987066863365732011-09-09T11:36:32.756-07:002011-09-09T11:36:32.756-07:00Where'd you find the two skeletons talking?

What a fun little song you have at the end. One of the lines is "remember that you are a woman who is loved."
