Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Delete that photo right now. And you complain about other people's behavior on line. I mean it. It's disgusting.

Gentlemen:

you are focusing on the fine details--rather I wish you would look at the whole picture: She taught us--you and me and our generation, how to say the word "SeX". She made us laugh and she was sooo beautiful. IIf you did not know WHO she was--you might think that she was a pretty enough old lady in the "home". C'mon want to compare a young Redford to what is today?

P.S. "I have done better"--AP ;-) tee hee (she had bigger ones when I thought that mattered, but I have done a little bit better, though she is stilll about 8 years older and does not look that bad!

CORRECTION!!! She is 10 (TEN) years older than I am!! (But, I'll bet she still has-----)

For your interest I found this site brought back a few memories:

bardot--I read the whole wiki--fascinating. Interesting description of her latter-day outspoken warnings about the fall of France into multiculti moronism (down near bottom, under 'politics, quotations, citations' etc).

She was something else for sure--as a young teen if oft admired her pix in those one-hand-held magazines.
:-D
