my dad’s oldest sister said that she saw her guardian angel sitting at the foot of her bed before she died. she was 17, and she died during the flu epidemic shortly after world war 1. i was taught to believe in a guardian angel when i was little in catholic school. it’s a nice thought really. that someone cares enough to be with you and protect you. real or not it’s comforting. for me anyway.
Well, yeah. That’s why people keep labelling 'em one way or the other. C’mon, they’re angels, fercryinoutloud. They’re beyond sex. Just like I’ll be some day. ![]()
We all know that when you hear a child laugh, an angel gets its wings. But what they don’t tell you is that when you hear a mousetrap snap, an angel gets set on fire.
(Apologies to Jack Handey; I probably got that wrong.)
sigh No. Actually, it is the little girl who is saying “Guard Ian, angel.” —you can see her gesturing toward the angel with her whistle as she gives her instructions.
Look a wee bit closer…the look on the girl’s face is clearly one of malice. That smile doesn’t fool me. And I’m almost certain that she is attempting to use the whistle as a weapon to hit poor Ian in the head…you can tell because of the angle she is holding it, and the gleam in her eye. Heck, I’ll bet she doesn’t even know how to play!!!
Who’s Ian?

My son… and thanks for the guardianship Dale (which just happens to be my DH’s name too!)
What the hell is wrong with you? Don’t you see how pretty those wings are?
Yeah, well pretty doesn’t cut it with me. I come from a plain church background and our angels always wore black.

I think they both look like sweet children, but the angel looks bored silly. Maybe having an indefinite life span has taken a toll on the poor angel, or the children are TOO well behaved.

Well…someone had to.

'bout time!

Hmmmm.
She does look as though she might just enjoy giving him a smart rap on the head. Mommmm! Make her stop that!

After some of my life’s experiences, I tend to believe in them - in some form anyway.
I’m glad Dale got his normal avatar back. The last two were sort of strange, I thought.

Jack Handy rules.
I just have to say: “welcome back pope Tom… I’ve missed you so”.

Hmm, creepy hollywood heirophant or creepy shaved-head person threatened by a metal tube covered w/fluids–tough choice there: the banality of evil, but cloaked in power symbols, or the threat of pain & violation at the hands(?) of a drippy whistle.
Put that in yer Freudian pipe & smoke it.
Which avatar would I invite to dinner? I think the former is less harmful to appetite & digestion…wait, upon reflection it’s still a toss-up. Berk.
-So “Guard Ian” compounded in my meager mind to “Guardian” is actually “Guard Ian”? Well, Mark Twain’s graphic gag "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword"compounds to …(can’t finish this for blushing & smirking) ![]()
