Same. Did you ever get yours to take the trash out without having to have a 20 minute philosophical discussion on the implications of forced labor?


No. Had to wrangle philosophically, every stinking time. Once the garbage sat by the front door for three days, because neither of us would back down. :lol:

Was that your daughter, Nan? I had many of the same issues. Spiking fevers. Ice baths in the hospital. Strep after they took my tonsils out. Scarlet fever. I was a mess as a kid.


Sounds like me! I had strep throat at twelve, which I suspect deteriorated into Rheumatic Fever. Don't know for sure, because my mother, who suffered from BPD, refused to take me to a doctor. She fancied herself to be a "healer." I was sick for over a month. My siblings rejoiced, because when my birthday rolled around, they got to eat up the cake and ice cream, which I couldn't eat. Miserable heathens! :evil:

Since the Inquisition is still on my mind, I decided to take the next logical mental jump...do any of you have any idea just how hard it is to find pictures on Google of Jewish pirates? I think I'll eat more chocolate and just go take a nap, very frustrating.

Of course my Aspie character stayed in one and she was a crack shot. This was before I thought I was one! I just considered it something she should know!


Zanne--those are wonderful. I have yurt photos in my favorites too. The quilts are awesome.


I am feeling mo bettah as time goes on, and I am feeling more up to keeping up with this thread. Sometimes I click on the thread to see it has gone right 'round the bend, but I think I'll keep up.

Especially as the thread in the rest of WP are so dang depressing. Here people have actual lives, actual interesting things to say, and well, other stuff. Recipes, too.

Speaking of crack shots, I amazed a carnie at one of those wanna be carnivals set up in a mall parking lot when I blasted the target right off it's hanger. He asked me where I learned to shoot, and I calmly looked him in the eye, and said, "You really don't want to know that."

My friend just about wet her pants.

And it appears to me that you and Zanne would just prefer to be left alone, living life as you choose, and not as you have been told good boys and girls should. Please sit in a corner. Bad. Very bad.

...or, perhaps...

....perhaps the best we can do is honor who we are and live that as honestly as possible - whether or not we appear odd or different, strange, eccentric, and whether or not our talents, prodigy, and gifts are overlooked.

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! !! !

(Bad Chuck sits himself in a corner).

We're gonna run out of corners pretty quick here...

We need a fractal cafe, so we can have infinitely many corners for all the baaaad people here. That'll teach them to listen to Chuck. Nothing like a bit of corneriness to cure them. And I don't think those hypercubes folding themselves inside out will allow for the quiet contemplation a corner is supposed to provide. It's those techies, they always go for the latest fad, forgetting all the benefits of the traditional n-1 fad. Tsk.

I hope they hang his ass with a too short drop. Please pardon my lack of frivolity. I'm not exactly in a jovial mood. I'll be away from WP for a while, till this settles.

Too funny! Good to see you back. Even if we go round the bend, since it's a circle we come right back.

I have always believed this to be true. Chocolate is the true opiate of the masses.

I'm afraid to even look. It must involve a child or an animal in which case I'll be back to wanting to sterilize humans. I just got out of that mode.

I took a look for you. The young lady involved was adult, at least. The "man" is one of those I'd prefer to believe is actually something other than H. sapiens. On the plus side, he seems to have committed both of his murders in Texas. As Texan Ron White put it, "Some states are getting rid of the death penalty - mine's putting in an express lane!"

I was pretty fond of both, it's just easier to find chocolate. Some days my tracks still hurt. It's hell getting old on days when the big lows move in. The bright side is, I'm still getting old. I considered smoking it to be a waste. There is a trick to smoking it though, if you don't do it, you'll just end up melting it and won't get the full effect.

Hey!! I wonder if that trick would work for chocolate. I do wonder if dark chocolate is stronger. I might not make it, no matter, anything for science. I'll give death by chocolate a whole new meaning. But yet, yes maybe, I will live and dream of Jewish pirates while in my chocolate haze and write a long epic poem about them doing the male bonding, or maybe the right word is bondage, thing on their big boats on the bounding main. This could be brilliant! But I suspect this will just be another sticky mess I will, yet again, find myself in. I can just see the wife opening the closet door and finding me zoned out on the floor, with chocolate smears all over me. It might be hard to explain. "But, but honey, I did it for science, Jewish pirates, literary achievement, the masses, and it tasted good." That should work. Ok be back later. Arrgh?

You smoked chocolate? 8O That explains a lot!
