You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

One thing I find amusing about the Craig story is that tapping your foot is somehow a signal that you are available for sex. It seems so minor and easily misinterpreted. Back when QaF was on, I used to sort of roll my eyes at how Brian Kinney could just look at a guy in the mirror over the sink and in the enxt seen they were going at it in the stall. Perhaps it's not as unlikely as I thought.

It's not just the foot tap, though. It's going to a particular bathroom known for that kind of sexual encounter. It's cruising the stalls. It's putting a briefcase down to block the view. It's tapping the foot and getting the person next to you to tap back. It's then rubbing feet under the stalls. Then you have the sex.

It is possible that you just happened to go to a Sex Bathroom, whilst whistling a catchy tune and tapping your feet, then looked through all the stalls to review the occupants because your mind was on the song, and you just happened to be tapping your foot because that darn song was so catchy, and you just happened to have a wide stance that slipped your foot under the wall and accidentally brushed your neighbor's foot who was also, coincidentally, tapping his foot along to some song in his head, and then you just accidentally ran out of toilet paper and reached under the stall.

It could happen.

Thrive to spite them

Walgreens puts a description of the pills on the bottle. Also for drugs that sound similiar (like Zannax and Zantac) they have a warrning that flashes up on the screen asking you really mean what you are filling. And the picture of the pills comes up on the screen as well.

Plus if they are trying to fill a prescription their system says you are alleregic to they have an alert that comes up.

It could happen.

Yes, but then do you plead guilty to lewd behavior?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

From stories my gay friends (at least in NYC) have told me, sometimes a look is all it takes, especially if you are in a place where people tend to troll for sex.

You might be right about that resemblence there, Cash...

My brother is very pro taking-embarassing-pictures featuring himself and sharing with all and sundry.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

i'm loving the pictures, Cash. poor Owen... hee!!

Except the pills she'd been taking? Were not pink. She has no idea what she was taking for 3 weeks.

has she tried putting the description in google? i've done that a few times and almost always come up with what the pill is.

I just listened to the SJR/paperdol interview. perhaps i'm wrong, but it really felt like she was saying that people who are going online and talking about RL problems and finding people to comisserate with/get help from were normal and those of us who found communities based on fandom were WEIRD. that was just...irritating and completely missing the point as most people who don't understand fandom do. perhaps she could have tried reading the book before bringing Allyson on.

No idea. I was just there the day she got the new package and started swearing.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I always check the pills - and if it s the generic , I check on line to make sure it is the right one.(One of my drugs has two generic forms)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

My parents were very fond of some semi-embarrassing pictures of me, though they were mostly from when I was too young to have any sense about it. The classic one of me in the tub. And there was that one where I made eating spinach into both a tactile experience and my first foray into face painting ....
