Why do I have so much rage while driving? Is the lack of vacation really getting to me?
Are things in the US really as bad as some reports indicate? The president says he can open mail, arrest without charges? I know the facts, but am having trouble gaining perspective. Is it time to panic?
Are super-hot Cheetos good for parrots?
I’m a spineless American, so Israel looks very scary. Also, I’m Pagan. Living where the Abrahamic religions are based seems inappropriate.
California, and the rest of the western North American coast, are prone to earth quakes. That, and tornadoes, scares the bejezzus out of me.
I hope you feel better.
I have organised a hen weekend for a friend. We leave on Friday, there are 17 of us going. I’ve booked cottages to stay in, a half-day session at a health spa on Saturday morning, a surprise facial for the ‘hen’ after the spa session, dinner in a really nice restaurant for Saturday night, lunch in a local pub (carvery) on Sunday…there are giftbags for all the girls, a surprise box of pampering gifts for the ‘hen’, a couple of surprise things for her…I must have forgotten something.
Everyone who’s coming knows which cottage they’re staying in, which room, who they’re sharing with, how the heating works, where to get logs for the fire, how much the wine costs that will be in the cottages (you buy it from the owners), they’re doing their own catering (apart from the booked meals)…I must have forgotten something.
They all know who they’re travelling with, they all have good directions to get there, they all have each other’s contact number…I must have forgotten something.
OK, what have I forgotten?
To invite me? 
Thanks! At least I’m going home soon (it’s 5:30 PM here. About bloody time)
Yes, I know…
Believe me, NYC is more dangerous than Tel-Aviv! But yeah, I know what you mean…
Speaking as a Hard Atheist… what exactly seems to be the problem?
See this, I get!
And thank you, too.
Decided to write a post without a single smiley in it, just to prove I can.
… and failed. Stupid cold! Can;t even type straight
I’m so glad you told me, now I might get a decent night’s sleep without waking up wondering what it is…you do want to do the spa and all that, right?
Being Pagan in Colorado is challenging. IMHO, the climate in the US is becoming very conservative and less open to alternative faiths. A country that is a theocracy with a loooooong history of religious conflict, may not let me pratice my spritual path in peace.
Now that I came out of the “Intolerant, Uninformed Shmuck” closet, I’m going back to bed.
::slink, slink, slink::
“The Tick” is funny. So are beagles, but that’s not important right now.
The list of places I don’t want to go is considerably longer than the list of places I do want to go. Ireland, Mexico, Glenwood Springs…
Why do I keep dreaming about shooting people in the face?
You’re probably right, and I sympathize.
Not to hijack the thread, I’ll just leave it at “this is incorrect on several levels.”
I call BS on both the “intolerant” and “shmuck” parts. “Uninformed…” yeah, I guess so; we’re all uninformed about some things far from us. Join the club…
:smack: I just read your location.
A joke I made in this thread has backfired. I’ll reclaim “shmuck” and get off the damned computer before I get into trouble.
Now that we finally have some snow, I really need to get my winter clothes out of which ever storage container they’re in, and go skiing/snowboarding–as long as this tickly throat thing is just a cold, and not strep or something.
I’m really glad that they may have caught the Bike Path Rapist.
Don’t worry about it. Really, I’m *used *to the “OMG! Things blow up there!!” reaction – **your **reaction actually makes far more sense than that 
That skin isn’t coming off of my nose, so you’re still not a shmuck in my book. And watch your step when you climb off that computer… don’t step on the…! keyboard…
It’s summer here, and I think I have a head cold. Stupid season to have a stupid head cold … mutter …
I’m pissed at the fact that it’s going to be like minus 8 tonight and I have to go to the laundrymat. First of all, that meant carrying the detergent into work since it would freeze in the car. Then it’s pretty much all the clothes and towels I own so it will take awhile. Then because of the dog next door who likes to nip at my leg, the landlord put up a stronger fence around the yard and closed in the fence I used to use that was much closer to my door. So I have to hobble across the icy yard carrying piles of clean laundry.
There’s frigging washer/dryer hookup in my kitchen but NOOOO! That would overload the septic :rolleyes: Not if I do one tiny load every few days. ANYTHING to avoid the laundrymat.
I had a dream the other night that I can’t stop thinking about - I dreamt I was 9 weeks pregnant. Considering 1. I have a 5 month old baby and 2. I have an IUD, if that dream’s true, I will officially freak the f*ck out.
Some telemarketer just told me to shut up on my cell phone. Yelling “Go to hell, asshole!” before I hung up in the middle of the break room was probably not the smartest thing I’ve ever done.
We’re experimenting with my son’s bottles today…he’s always taken his formula mixed with rice cereal because he’s had a severe case of acid reflux since he was born, and adding the cereal helps thicken the formula and helps keep the acid from coming up, but I hate it. So since he eats better for the babysitter than for his mom or dad, I had her make up his bottles without cereal today and try to feed him regular formula. I left her the cereal in case he completely refused, but I’m really hoping he’s at the point where we can leave the cereal out, especially since we’ve just started solids.
I’ve just gathered all the documentation I need to start annual performance reviews. Yuck.
I need to call a doctor to see about my poor knee and shoulder. Oh, yeah, and it’s time for the annual genital-spelunking and mammary-mashing sessions as well. Yeesh.
I’m on a diet and right now I’m craving junk food something ferocious. And I don’t feel a BIT like going to the gym.
Huh, you too? I’ve had a busy time past two weeks – too busy to get to gym regularly (who am I kidding? At all) – and I’m having a hell of a time persuading myself to go back… 
Friday, I swear it!
And I just had what amounts to a second dinner (full meals at noon and just now.) Ugh. I’m going to end up putting back all the weight I managed to take off in the past 3 months. Ugh again.
I’m starting to feel guilty about having such a lazy week, but I’m not sure exactly what I should be doing. The housework’s all done, all the way down to the dusting. It’s minus a million degrees out there, so I really don’t want to venture outside to visit anyone. I suppose I could bake, but with my brother gone on a field trip all week, I’d be left alone with a bunch of muffins and I know I’d eat them all by myself and feel chubby. I want to start packing for my move, but until the visa paperwork comes in, it’s silly to get started - I don’t want to be living out of boxes for weeks, if it takes longer than expected. Which it will.
How to juggle all the balls I have in the air at work. :eek: Whether to stock the bottom of my desk drawer with an emergency fifth of whisky and a stack of paper bags. How to set up my test rig without bricking anything that shouldn’t be bricked.
What kind of plants to put in a bottle garden created by slicing and dicing one of those large soda bottles. Whether I should post that question here in MPSIMS.
How to pay the bills without going spare.
