speaking of unhealthy urges, I have heard that at his recent 21st birthday party, a costume party, Prince William wore only a loin cloth. Has Letty no influence over these people anymore!!! What a complete lack of taste. Fit for the royal family, I guess though.
Well, I took the stuff about an hour ago or so, and my headache is sort of gone, so's most of the nausea. My head feels really heavy. It's an improvement.
What movie should I watch tonight? I have Chasing Amy, Catch Me If You Can, and Saving Private Ryan. I think I'm in the mood for a caper.
Even if I did measure the wrong direction, I still wouldn't be tall enough for this weight.
Most of the teen sex offenders I "worked" with (I use the term loosely) had been victimized themselves. I say MOST. And there are plenty of other sex crime victims who don't turn into offenders. There was one kid though who really got to me.... His father left him alone in the car with his little sister while the father went and picked up women in bars and/or got drunk. (From age 9 to about 14 this happened on a regular basis.) The father molested the teen, shared his porn collection.... I'm sure I didn't even get the whole story. It didn't take a genius to figure that the teen thought is was status quo to molest the little sister. God only knows what happened to the mother that made is so the dad had custody. He propositioned me (!) during a family therapy session. I wish they could all be outfitted with beepers, flashing lights and chastity belts... Some were flat out sociopaths, too and compassion would have been wasted on them.
what I wonder is if there have always been people this twisted on the planet, or if it's related to some environmental degredation (ozone, smog, whatever), or if civilization is deteriorating a la the Roman Empire, or if because of Rupert Murdoch et al, we just hear about it more.
Kiwi...fascitis is miserable. Too much walking?! Aging is a tough row to hoe. Hope your new meds work.
aren't we deep. i think that the rights of children and other powerless groups suffer in most 'stressed' societies. is that because of the emotional strain rapid change causes or is it due to the stress on the environment? probably both.
This is the problem with America. People like you, Sis, YOU are selling out to the big buck guys. My office mate has a book store, The Dogpatch Book Store, and people preordered Harry Potter stuff by the carload. Then .... when it was available they called to say they were getting it at WalMart where it was cheaper. The tapes were $75 I think she said. Did you pay that??? You should have. I'm telling mom.
Also, they're for sale at Sam's for cheaper than she had to pay Scholastic for them.
There have been sex offenders in the U.S. for generations. I've heard about one in my family who married a woman who had a dd and then had kids with both. The dd was a kid herself. Probably tribes in the jungle don't do this sort of thing. Lush, you remember this story don't you? I think Cousin It was named for him.
Here is my wish list:
round dinette table and four chairs
sofa that goes with red,green,blue plaid overstuffed chairs
They're a bunch of fascists, stomping into town and grinding little stores under their heels, making deals that suppliers can't refuse and then putting grampas at the doorway to say howdy to you as you file obediently in.
I got a new nightshirt off eBay (brand new in the package for $5.50) -- it's gotC O W I E S !! on it!
i will donate the maritime walmart---now that kiwi has told me what they are up to ,i want them run out of town!!!!----i used to LOVE the little bookstores uptown--there are NONE now,just chain stores at the malls and a few"used book"stores
KIWI--- i am so glad you have found some migraine relief!!! what is the name of your drug again??? i need to try something------------THIS PERIMENOPAUSE IS DRIVING ME NUTS---- i just bought Christiane {??} Northrup's book on menopause and it is describing my mercurial moods to a teeeeeeeeeee------------i could chew shoe leather and spit it out {at everyone]
We don't have a Wally World in my little suburb, but they're working on it. The city council is fighting it over a technicality. First they refused them because their building design didn't fit our town (big parking lot out front is a big no no, must have street and pedestrian friendly frontage), now because they want 2 extra acres that are zoned residential changed to commercial. Wally has a lot more money than our little town does to pay for lawyers, so we'll see who wins. Even though I object to Wally world on principal, I'd probably slink in there every once in awhile for the cheap deals. But not on books. Bookstores need a certain ambiance. Kinda like DH has his favorite auto parts store, where everything costs twice as much, but we're friends with the guy who owns the place and all the guys hang out on saturday mornings there. Can you believe how long I can blather on about this???
Whattya think about Joan Lunden's new babies? Like going to the pet store and picking out a couple of darling cocker spaniels? I get the whole surrogate mother thing when women can't have babies themselves, but this Grandma age celebrity buying babies bothers me. Why not foster kids who have no options if you want more kids in your life? I suppose that wouldn't contribute to the illusion that Joan's still in her thirtys?
Our town is in such desperate straits that even WalMart doesn't want to move here. That's okay with me, of course, but I do wish we could support a bookstore, or a clothing store. Sad little place. Used to be a bustling center of activity. Oh well. Maybe someday it will revive.
Yeah, Bagz, it's pretty thrilling to have migraine relief! It's called Relpax. Well, I'd better go check that: yep Relpax. generic name "eletriptan Hbr" 40 mg. Good stuff. You can only take 1, and if it works but the pain comes back in a few hours, you can take one more. But you can't take more if the first one doesn't work. Seriously. anyway.
Oh by the way, I gained 10 lbs driving to the doctor's office. The good news is I apparently lost it on the way home (phew!)
DD got a whole package full of photos back today, so I'm including one here (sorry, don't have a pic of my lasagne garden yet--today I made little umbrellas for my lettuce plants because they were getting too much sun -- I'm certifiable) that I call "my idea of a flower garden". Note the attractive "mulch" (i.e. unraked leaves)
you are all apparently nuts. Still, I welcome the gifts. Thank you. The flowers are BEAUTIFUL and Wabby's town sounds just soooo cute. It's what Dogpatch wishes it were, I imagine. That is, if one personifies a town and then the town wishes something.
anyway.
