Because I want to educate folks and let them make an informed decision on whether to click on my links.

Man, if we decided on every experience beforehand...such a smaller world.

You know, Gawker had an article on goatse, and at least at the time I read it, *no* oneupmanship or grossout image embeds, or even links. Just "don't google [search terms]" warnings. What is that, even?

Somehow that was appealling to me.

Okay, see? Maybe she wouldn't have looked.

I read that! And realized that I have never actually seen it, based on the description. I thought it was what everyone called tubgirl and apparently not so much.

The only one of the photos in ita's link that freaked me out was the Spiderman one.

tommyrot, glad it's just cysts. My whole family has cystic skin; it's annoying but not dangerous.

Maria, may the letter be something simple that doesn't require much from you.

Do you want to see it, Amy? I'm pretty sure you've seen lemonparty--that wouldn't faze you. 2 girls 1 cup? I'm really out of the loop. I haven't been keeping up with the grossout sites over the past couple years.

My browser just crashed, which isn't the worst thing in the world. But when it restarted, ALL THE TABS DIDN'T COME BACK, which is. That's easily fifteen tabs per window, min, three windows. I maybe only remember ten of those sites, and obviously those weren't the ones I was hanging onto. Curses.

I'm good, thanks. The description alone was horrifying enough.

For real? I only ever have one window open, and at the most maybe six tabs. Otherwise it's too much. Wow, that sounds weird.

I have a main window, with b.org, and links I open from here, the gawker sites, and those links, able minds, and then any link I open from email. Then I have a fanfic window, with deancastiel, a couple favourite authors on ff.net, AO3, and some rec lists that are updated moderately frequently, and any fanfics I opened and haven't read yet. And then there's a tumblr window, with my main tumblr dashboard, and then the unending web of tumblrs I open when (admittedly half-assedly) chasing down references.

And that's if I'm not shopping or researching anything.

Oh! And fanart. I have fanart trails open in the main window too. I should re-open deviantart. Glad I remembered.

I usually have 10-20 tabs open, myself.

At one point I had 93 tabs open in Chrome. I've since pared down.

Owen had an awesome birthday. Dinner at his favorite Mexican restaurant, cupcakes at school and we went swimming at the Y this evening. This weekend: Lego store in the Mall of America.

I am very, very happy with the way I've turned out at 41. Not what I planned when I was in my 20s but still not bad. I'm glad I found derby and in spite of being overweight and probably pre-diabetic, I feel AWESOME and more in shape than I've ever been.
