OMG, JACQUELINE, MAKE ME STEP AWAY FROM SALON LETTERS WHERE PEOPLE ARE BEING RETARDED ABOUT POLANSKI!!!!!
(Have opinions, fine. Have utterly retarted opinoions. But know the basic facts of the thing. You DID learn "innocent until proven guilty" from School House Rock when you were eight. Good onya! It has nothing to do with this. Know what a deal is, who can make it, and who can decide not to honor it. And for fuck's sake, quit saying "she'd had sex with her boyfriend!" Non-virgins arent' fair game here, haven't been for a long long time. Neither are kids pimped by their mothers. Why are you babbling about the arbitraryness of age of consent laws? OH PLEASE SHUT UP. Go write for Faux news. And stay away from my kids.)
Trudy, step away from the Salon letters.
Hellllooo, everybody. Here I am, putting off Making Dinner (more turkey sandwiches, oboy!) to self-referentially post that I have had a fabulous Thanksgiving, have cleaned up the yard and decorated the tree, found ways around my laundry hanging problem.
Also I got hugged by some of my other neighbors today. I walked across the street and pitched in when the neighbor ladies were helping my neighbor deal with an incredibly overgrown patch of trees (four. I counted four.) that was making it hard to pull out of the driveway.
I have to admit, I am much more likely to be hugged than complained on, so, hey: reason to be thanksful! Plus I have my buddies over here in cyberspace, too.
Dissertation: Awesome. Emeline five? Already???
I can vouch for Katie Bee's excellence at hugging.
So, Emmett has Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease - which is - it turns out - unrelated to Hoof and Mouth disease.
Poor dude. Mouth sores, and foot sores and then he's got to swish and swallow a concoction of Maalox/Benadryl/Lidocaine.
Plus he got the seasonal flu shot too.
He should be more than halfway through it at this point, and can go back to school as long as he's not french kissing anybody or playing footsie.
Okay, if for only the fact that Katerina Bee is posting again, that LURKERS thread was made of awesome!! (and it was truly awesome for lots of other reasons too)
Hec, I don't know if that's the right link!
...or, I'm rickrolling the Miracleborns.
But they'll never know because I changed it.
What a mean thing to say about Detroit. For goodness sakes.
I found out that a dental implant will cost me about $3,400. I think I'd rather live with a missing tooth and have me some LASIK surgery instead.
Oh, and I still have blue hair. The color is down to a tint, but it's quite obvious. I still think it's pretty, but my out of town relatives took it to mean that I am weird. Like, duh. How long have those people known me?
Now I am having fantasies about dying my hair green, putting it up in a beehive and decorating it like a Christmas tree. I'll have twinkling LED lights and a bunch of mistletoe hanging over my forehead, I'll have a quilted tree skirt around my neck and a necklace of presents and Santa flying over it all... it will be made of awesome.
