Seriously, why can't I get any play when I'm in the checkout line with my mother?


Edit: Oh, the double entendre.

I love autumn when I'm on four wheels (as current). When I'm on two, the wet leaves make the world go sideways.

5? Either you've got uncommonly strong wrists or you're letting some of the ladies off the hook.

I smoke when I get an electrical connection wrong.

I smoke when I'm under the (car) hood and a carburetor malfunctions.

I smoke when someone puts an old gas jug in the bonfire without telling me.

...But I haven't lit a cigarette in years.

Well, not my own.

It's all in the time and place. There's a place called Black Balsom Bald on the NC/TN border that I've visited several times. In spring and summer, it's awesome, a little hike between blueberry bushes to a mountain view but in winter... you learn why the summit is above the tree line.

All better now, and I got all my missed childhood camping out in one fell swoop.

Worldcom aftermath.

After using a chamber pot in the woods for 2.5 years, having to break through solid ice to dig a cathole and having my behind freeze to the pot... I don't complain about putting the seat down now that I have a real toilet.

Booyah, I'm moving (closer) to the country this week.

I grew up around these guys:



One kind of orb tends make large webs, tough enough to catch small birds in. Tough enough to catch a human in for a few, very irritating seconds.

But that was in South Carolina, I live with the tarantulas now, and haven't had a problem with them. In fact, a red one is supposed to be worth about $500 at the local zoo.

Spiders in general catch and eat bugs (or mice, in the case of tarantulas) that aren't beneficial, flies, roaches, etc. I'd rather have a "huge" wolf spider than a huge roach problem.

When I went to change the pic, I noted that someone had viewed me, so the crossover theory is probably wrong.

My "recent activity" panel says that someone messaged me 8 hours ago but my mailbox isn't showing the message.

Could that be a mixed signal between "messaged" and "viewed" or was something lost?

You could take a picture of yourself holding up a sign that says "Girls Only," but there would probably still be someone who ignores it.

The lady's got a point.

Thank you, I've been scratching my head to find a manuscript that wasn't horribly violent. Vampires, action-heroes, slashers and bombers and blah, seen it all before.

Details mon! Need details!

Like how David made a fool of himself at the gas station, which passed in a single sentence.

Likewise, peace

I believe that there are many facets to the absolute truth of the universe but make no pretense of having seen them all.

Sounds like "righteous anger" to me. If they ceased to commit/live the dysfunction, they'd be back in your good graces, right?

That's why I moved 1000 miles away from most of mine.

I'm content to be strange but dangit, it comes with a lot of hot air.

Holy mother of fuzzies, that didn't look so long on Word™
