The presumption behind your comment seemed so outrageously and dangerously wrong-heaaded that I felt compelled to challenge it.

Um.

See...

Sigh.

Ok, I missed that part.

Maybe not moving on.

Seriously, David. Why did you throw that in there?

Honestly. You fucked up, you said something shitty. You apologize to cover up something else shitty. I honestly don't know what planet you are from sometimes.

My hair *is* fabulous, huh?

Very fabulous. I'd put up a picture of mine, but I've never mastered the self-portrait. I always end up with pictures that look like all the pictures I have of one of my dogs. She would run to you the minute you got out the camera, so all the pictures are of a giant blurry dog's nose.

Thanks, Ginger. :) I don't take good self portraits either. I make Joe take them.

I want to show off my new color, but something about the lighting in the condo just totally negates what my daughter did to it. I'm going blonde, but right now it's more strawberry blonde with blonde highlights. The lighting here just makes it look muddy. Ugh.

Mine is redder.

Aimee hair shiny and pretty!

A priest that taught me and my 3 sibs in school admitted to having abused a student about 30 years ago or so. It crushed all of us, and a number of our friends. We adored this man. He was so very important to all of us. We found out a couple years ago and it still stings. It's very upsetting.

I believe sincerely that David would never intentionally say anything to upset vw. We all have each other's backs. Stress level seems a bit high, but I know people here care about each other deeply and don't intend to cause pain. I know this.

Feeling like John Kelly from Blue. "Is everyone okay with this?" Caruso was always asking that. That, and the cop-show standby "Help me help you," So, are we okay with this? Seriously, y'all, child of divorce. I can only watch my friends be upset with each other for(checks watch) five more minutes before I start acting like a total bitch as a diversion tactic. Nobody wants that.

Redder is always a good plan Ginger. I'm considering going red again. I was going to wait until I broke down and cut it shorter, but 2 neighbors convinced me today that I shouldn't cut. So red and long it shall be.

Seriously, David. Why did you throw that in there?

Because you wanted to know why I responded the way I did. I had a strong reaction to what vw said. I was trying to make my motive clear. It wasn't idle poking. I strongly felt that what she said was a dangerous misconception. It's entirely my fault that I broached that subject with her in a glib manner.

I was not trying to imply that vw was responsible for the kefuffle or my inapproriate tone.

I do still think her presumption is dangerously wrong. I don't feel like I'm pressing that argument because there's no argument there. Nobody is making the case that humans can sense evil in others.

I honestly don't know what planet you are from sometimes.

The planet of having better things to do on Saturday night.
