But most people have never heard of pantheism, so when they do hear the word now, it's got all these wrong associations.
And once again, I can't talk about what I believe in general company without being misunderstood. Having to explain something someone doesn't know about is not a problem; having to work to correct a misunderstanding is a pain in my liberal pan-worshipping ass.
Did he tell you that it didn't REALLY hurt, and/or that you had a good time?
Not explicitly. HE was having a good time, I though I was supposed to, too.
I am running out the door, but just wanted to let folks know that my MiL's results were good. The swelling is due to radiation not a tumor, and the treatment plan is basically to do nothing else that might interfere with it healing. So yay for no more radiation!
Gads. Tom, I want ita to go back in time and ask your dad if he watches Firefly.
I don't even like movies that make me feel adrenaline-y. It makes me want to get up and leave the theater.
I can see that. I can deal better with movies because they're not actually happening to me, so I think that's why I can stay removed enough to enjoy them (usually). The coaster was actually happening to me, so I just spent the ride noticing how terribly uncomfortable I was.
But remaining calm in a dire situation will serve me well when the zombies come, so I've got that going for me.
Tom, that's very sad.
I still remember my Dad forcing my brother and me to ride the teacups (when we were about 10 and 11) because we had used up all the D and E tickets and he was determined to get his money's worth. I think we drew the line at Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride though.

But! But! HULK SMASH! Beserker rage!
No?
I just got back three out of office emails telling me the recipients are out until May 17th. Did someone call a vacation and not tell me? Where is everyone? Somewhere fun? Magic Mountain?

My mom is from the school of parenting where you pull a Punk'd on your kid and then insist that they REALLY liked it. Good times. Loved the therapy bills.
This is why I will not go to haunted houses and yet my mother to this day will insist -- INSIST -- that I liked them as a kid.

Yes, this.
Glad to hear your good news, Burrell!
I don't remember the teacups, if I rode them. I vaguely remember Pirates of the Caribbean, I think, but that's about it. I should go back to Disneyland at some point, it's been 35ish years.
