That's terrific! (Looking at the subject, I was afraid it was going to be those awful holiday-type lawn decorations, which are certainly monstrous!)

Judy, Yes, it is really neat!

Please put on your moderator hat and correct the spelling of "inflatable" in the title. I couldn't figure out any way to correct the error myself. And posting typos is SO annoying!

Thanks!

Yes, it is really neat!It is very clever. It does leave me wondering a bit about folks who have too much time on their hands, but... clever nonetheless.

Please put on your moderator hat and correct the spelling of "inflatable" in the title.Done.

Neat!

And Judy's comment leaves me pondering what we all mean when we throw around that phrase--too much time on their hands? Does it mean it is not worthwhile, not even worth anything? Only if you get paid for doing something is it worthwhile? What is the value of art?

I have said this sort of thing before, and now you have given me something to ponder. Thanks, Judy!

Indeed! We didn't have candles on my (cheese) cake, but my only wish would have been for more hours in each day... 10 or 12 would have done nicely!

Pretty cool! I especially liked the polar bear, but it looked to me more like a dog.

Currently I'm not working for a living, but I still find insufficient time to get everything done! I'm not even spending as much time each day looking for a job, because of all the other things that need to be done.

Just like stuff has a way of filling up every square inch of available space...

I need to use two-letter word more often.

Just like stuff has a way of filling up every square inch of available space...... no matter how much stuff you get rid of along the way! I was very proud of myself yesterday in DC: no matter how tempted I was, I didn't buy anything as a souvenir of the inauguration! Of course, the t-shirt I got beforehand doesn't count...

I need to use two-letter word more often.You and me both. Preceded, on occasion, by a four-letter word for a very hot place.

Awww, that's a shame! (I was thinking today that it would have been a lovely to spend some Georges, but there is no way I would have survived being in that huge crowd of people.)

Well, that's a very good point! The photos are the best souvenirs of all.

I use a different four-letter word that by itself means something entirely differently, but when combined with the two-letter word, conveys the same meaning as your pair.~
