Her Maj is watching
S. Weasel is a commercial artist with a bizarre sense of humor. When she recently moved to the south of England, she took her own brand of expletive-laced libertarianism with her. But more to my point, her poster art:

Her Maj is watching!
Sit up straight and breathe deeply. It works! I just have to remember Her Maj!
I was kind of embarrassed that somebody's granny was getting a dose of my expletive-laced libertarianism, until it occured to me *I* would be somebody's granny in the ordinary course of things.
Not reproducing -- my gift to future generations. You're welcome!
Delighted to hear that you are doing so well they will kick you out!! Shoulders back, Breathe deep and get on out! (A friend you haven't met on Park Ave.)
Good for you, Julie, and good for you, Maj!
ReplyDeleteGrannyJ, you crack me up! You find the most creative people on the Web.
ReplyDeleteS. Weasel sure had me sitting up straight. LOL
Keep posting what you're learning about breathing and increasing O2 intake. It will help my asthma.

That Maj! She certainly has high standards. But, those standards are good for your health. Long live the queen and Granny J!
ReplyDeleteI am sure Her Majesty would approve, Granny. She recently sent my Aunt official greetings for her 100th birthday.
ReplyDeleteSomething to aim for??
Keep that upper lip stiff.
ReplyDeleteLong live Granny J, indeed!

And Her Maj is about the same age as you, Granny J!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you are on the mend - keep it up.
