What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Seriously, why do skeevy dudes think all they have to do is compliment a fat chick and we will fall into their arms?!?

Because they're skeevy?

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

It's so beautiful out today! DH and I just took D out for a picnic in the park, which he mostly enjoyed even if he's still feeling kind of tired and oogy. (And even though yesterday the doctor gave us a tentative diagnosis of roseola, I'm pretty convinced now that it's coxsackie. Either way it's an atypical presentation, but as long as his fever stays down I'm not going to worry.)

Now we are back and doing laundry while the little guy naps.

Ah, salmonella. How I don't love you, O Bacterium That Put Me In The Hospital On My Honeymoon Which Also Turned Out To Be The Week Before 9/11.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Because they're skeevy?

Well ther is that...

Seriously, when I was in my early twenties, I had a gorgeous body but was ugly and geeky and I never got hit on. Now I weigh 100 pounds more and have big boobs, all of the sudden skeevy men hit om me!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

It's overcast and not beautiful here, which of course makes it the perfect day for me to have gotten the cat a Lion's cut. I've also hit the Nordie's sale (Shoes!) and cleaned a little.

I think it might be nap time.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

just give out skeevy guy stickers - you see a guy with a sticker - and you know you don't even have to listen to them.

Last weekend it was over 100 - this weekend we might break 60

so bizzare

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

it is lovely outside. We are about to head back out, another subway ride (this time only 2 boys as one boy was just picked up) and then back to our hood for a potluck. I made pico salsa and apple slices with cinnamon dip - real cooking was beyond me today.

I just mixed up some homemade laundry detergent being discussed on my neighborhood's listserve:

1 c borax
2 c washing soda
1 c liquid ivory soap or castile soap
add water to make it 2 gallons - use 1/4 - 1/2 per load.

My math shows it to be about $2 for the 2 gallons, but then I haven't washed with it yet.

msbelle, do you have a front-loader? If so let me know how it works! I've been on a homemade cleaning product kick lately.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Seriously, why do skeevy dudes think all they have to do is compliment a fat chick and we will fall into their arms?!?

Because we should be *grateful* that someone is *willing* to fuck us, don't you know?

(Been told that more than once. It's not an insignificant part of why I hate people.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

why do skeevy dudes think all they have to do is compliment a fat chick and we will fall into their arms?!?

It's not just fat chicks. I'm not sure what my attribute is, but it's not like it's reasonable strange guys lining up to hit on me.
