You know I can't physically pinpoint my location on a globe because I have this fear that, at that very moment, a giant finger will come down from the sky and crush me.


That doesn't mean I'm crazy does it?


Now I'm imagining elasticized nylon.

OMG!

Poor BK!

If it was an Aussie thong of course there wouldn't be a problem.

According to this line of reasoning, that would make Ayers rock the largest hemorrhoid in the world.

Pio is so old he calls Preparation H, Preparation A and Absorbine, Jr....Absorbine, Sr.

In fact, Pio was recently interviewed for a newspaper column about aging and this is what was said:

The reporter asked, "So Pio, what do you think is the best thing about being 104?"

Pio simply replied, "No peer pressure."

When that woman who was the oldest person in the world was murdered at 105, I was arrested and questioned by the police

I was the only one with motive.

I'm not sure it's even the biggest monolith despite what the tourist brochures would have you believe......

Tourist brochure?


Fly 20 hours.

Drive to the middle of the desert.

Take picture of big rock.

Fly 20 hours back.



And somebody actually made brochures for that.


You Aussies really know a good time when you have it.

Mom- i heard this yesterday on NPR, a woman has written a book about her abuse. She said that she finally had an epiphany when her husband, who she loved dearly, was holding a gun to her head threatening to kiss her. She thought, "How can I trust another person's rage?" In otherwords, even though she loved him, in his rage she could not trust him to not hurt her.

The good man may be in there, but you cannot trust his rage. Protect yourself and your 4 wonderful children.


I read this in another thread and I'm just really confused. If she really loved him, why did he need to threaten her with a gun just to get a kiss? Why didn't she want to kiss him?

Chronic halitosis?


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

I'm gonna pretend y'all aren't that stupid.....why did he have to hold a gun to her head to get a kiss. He didn't. He was a raging abuser. She was his victim.

Nope, she didn't want to kiss him. But he didn't have to hold a gun to her head. He, in his rage, chose to.

I'm really working hard on pretending y'all aren't that stupid....working VERY hard on it.

Which is why I cracked, "chronic halitosis..." Cinders.

We're not THAT stoopid.

Good! blush Thanks for 'splain' to me.

Hey, at work, I read the documents and they say exactly what they say. I work hard at not intuiting what people are trying to say - just what they do say because that's all I can defend....just what's on the paper.

So, if people are going - 'duh, why did s/he do that?'....if I'm in my work mode.....I think they didn't get it.

BTW, I heard the feature NPR did with the woman who wrote that book. She was smart to get away from him.
