Yahoo has got to stop playing to my porny brain. They've got these continual mortgage ads that have buttons for each of the states. NOrmally it's some hyper-elongated pig or deer or something. But occasionally there's a sidebar of a very tall glass of milk--at least, it's something white--and at the very top is a gingerbread man who's hip deep in the white stuff. He's got his hands on either side of the "glass" and he's rocking back and forth. Slowly. He closes his eyes on the--well, we'll cut to the chase--thrust, then he leans back and opens his eyes. His mouth is open in what's suppose to be a grimace of terror, I think. The white stuff piled on top of his head does not help the image. He just keeps rocking and grimacing.
I get it off my screen as soon as I can, just out of pity for the poor guy.
vw, I'm sorry things didn't go well. I agree that you should buy the pizza and be kind to yourself.
Gud, the flowers are beautiful and so are your kids!

OH my GOD, it's on the side of TWOP recaps too. I just do NOT get it at all and am amused/repulsed.
vw. Sit down. Eat something. Breathe. Call your therapist. Put yourself first. Breathe again. Please.
That's why I've taken a research break on the Opus. On top of everything else, I don't need to know about the symbolism of a slit throat right now.(It's sexual, if you're wondering...major sign of a crime committed upon an intimate.) Ok, after that I'll be about the Positive today.
erika, out of curiosity, if someone is killing someone else with a knife and they *aren't* intimate, how is it usually done? Stabbing doesn't exactly strike me as distanced and objective.

Huh. I didn't know that. But I grew up in South Florida where "Cuban Neckties" were common during the 70s drug wars with the Colombians. That is,
they'd cut the throat and pull the tongue out through the slit.
And that isn't even the nastiest thing those guys did. They used to count off the vertabrae (between 4 and 5? Or was it 5 and 6?).
