I wonder how civilization managed to exist before those were invented.

Punishingly Intricate

It is possible that my bar is set high by a man that doesn't actually exist, but it's not like I'm turning guys down who are just asking for dates, much less batting back marriage proposals.

Yeah, I'm with you here.

ION, I found out last night that I have a secret 1/2 great-aunt! She's the child of my maternal grandfather's father and his sister-in-law (that is, she was married to my great-grandmother's brother)! It's very soap opera! My mom and her siblings just found out about her at a funeral (of course) this week. But evidently it was general knowledge amongst everyone of my grandfather's generation (almost all of whom have died) and his parents' generation.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, Owen!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If you were a woman, would you want to be naked, in a boat, standing next to Dick Cheney who's armed with a fishing rod?

Speaking for all women, NO. Also, EW.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

When I was in college, I heard that all the time. But the only thing that happens to me when I stop looking is I don't go out on anymore dates....

I guess the implication of "you'll find someone when you stop looking" is that when you're looking, you come across as desperate? (That's how it was explained to me.) But then again, the people who explained this to me were very attractive and never had any problem getting dates, finding interested people, etc.

What would I be armed with in this hypothetical scenario?

Awesome picture of Mars' moon Phobos: [link]

The colors are gorgeous. Also, Phobos = freaky.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But the only thing that happens to me when I stop looking is I don't go out on anymore dates....

Right?!?!? I am not that person who gets picked up in line at the bank. I have to make an effort to seem approachable (and to want to be approached). My job is 90% women. I'm not exactly tripping over possible partners, here.
