I had hoped the context of the following sentence would make it clear that I was referring to the sales pitch and the peer pressure, Burrell. I don't give a damn about people's personal cosmetic choices. But I think the idea of gathering a small group together to push the idea that everyone in it needs cosmetic surgery is bizarre enough to be fascinating. And a little creepy, especially in cases where high school dynamics still seem to apply. In this case, too, I should mention again that these women are all 35-36, which seems awfully young for group cosmetic surgery. Maybe they felt that tattoos were passé.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Just found out something interesting. I knew before that no Republican had ever won the White House without Ohio. Turns out that no Democrat has ever won the White House without Missouri - until now.
It also turns out that police have arrested a rooster in Benton, Ill., which has laws against that sort of thing. (One commenter notes that this is just why he moved, to get away from those thuggish roosters and their cocky attitudes.)

Bwah! I just realized that my sister, born in '59, will be older than the president. It's gonna take an act of one of the second-string gods to keep me from bringing this up over dinner with her tonight.

“Not dead yet!”
Ooh, creepy Criminal Minds. I so called the last word of the episode, though.
Sits in the corner with ita. It was seriously creepy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ita I can totally understand the anger and frustration at the ER visits occasionally turning inward, but that doesn't make it true.
This.
I read an article in a magazine recently that the current Botox pitch is you "have" to start before you start getting wrinkles, so you don't get them. So targeting 35 year olds makes sense. In that respect. Not "sense" as I see it.

Dooooood... check out what this guy did to his basement with ten bucks' worth of Sharpie markers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think the idea behind a Botox pitch is that cosmetic surgeons are being hit HARD by the recession and they need all the clients they can get. (There was an article about it...somewhere. On the internet. You know the one.)

Too cool!

A belated happy birthday to CaBil.
I love the basement. I wish I could replicate it, but it took ten bucks' worth of Sharpie markets and talent.
