"Seven E's and an L" in Humor JoeUser Forums

Here's another old poem from the Exquisite Corpse. This one was created 10 years ago today.... Seven E's and an L Don't forget the Windex. Somehow, somewhere, it always happens again Yo, Larry! Grab me a Point! a quarter of your life, wiped away.... The cheese sailed across the room And sp

Well, in just two short days Krystal has gone from 3 or 4 crawl-steps totaling at most two feet to 15 or 20 steps, covering half the living room at a go! She's getting dangerous already! And she's started working on trying to find things to pull herself up on, too... Good thing we blocked off the video and CD racks already!

Reply to Should we let go of the hurtful things? in Misc JoeUser Forums

Okay, that's a start.... Now presumably she was aware of your feelings on the matter before she behaved in this fashion? Then what scenarios could you come up with to explain why she would be willing to go ahead and do such a thing? Get as wild and unlikely as you want to, just stay within the bounds of possibility. Having come up with some ideas, which ones seem the most likely

i can safely say that your "habitation adjustments" have not only benefited yourself and your husband, but also anyone who has had the good opportunity of spending anytime within its walls or rambuctious garden. With an endorsement like that, I think we'd all like to stop by and visit! <img src="../ima

citahellion, i think that the above may work work if applied to children to prevent them growing up to become another generation that justifies violence with 'beliefs', yet the application of such an idea would be foreign to human rights as we know them. That is one reason why I think terrorism is essen

Reply to Should we let go of the hurtful things? in Misc JoeUser Forums

The first thing you can do to start letting go of negative feelings is to start guessing, seriously and honestly, about other peoples' motivations. Why would they do thing X that hurt you? Is it because they're jealous of you? Could they think, because of your facade, that you really don't mind if they do X? Do they not really care about your feelings at all and just like to use you as a "boy scout", so to speak? Do they think that they gave you e

"bi-polar" is one of the extremely rare instances where the PC version is actually shorter than the original version. And I think a better term for armed civilians making money from a war zone is actually "war profiteers", a well-known class of scum.

we'd yell "INCOMING!" I already use that for a lot of other things (mostly relatively rare occurances, though).

Creepy Crawly Krystal in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Well, it finally happened. After weeks of flailing about, sitting, rolling, going backward, making little froggy-leap motions, and otherwise not quite actually crawling, tonight Krystal did a real, honest, forward-progress crawl. It was only about 2 feet, but she did it a couple of different times and it looks like she's already got the hang of it pretty well. She'

One set of books I think is not nearly as well-known in the US as it deserves to be is the Gormenghast trilogy, by Mervyn Peake. ("Titus Groan", "Gormenghast", and "Titus Alone" if you find them individually, but most likely they'll be packaged in a single large volume.) If your bookstore is particularly distinguishing, it will be in Fantasy instead of SF. I've got a whole slew of other books I'd recommend for various reasons, been meaning

I'm very interested to see how it comes out too. This was one of my favorite things on my own BBS. Don't wait until you think of something, just start a message and fill it with gibberish if that's all you can come up with.

Reply to I Have to Make a Decision in Misc JoeUser Forums

I guess I'm a little too late to influence the decision, but you could spend the hour until the pizza arrives doing exercises. And 5 pounds in 3 weeks is actually not a bad rate to be losing weight. In fact if you didn't have a set date & amount in mind I'd say you're going too fast. If you want to keep the weight off, the official recommendation is to lose no more than 1 pou

TW, a quick bit of technical advice: When you create a link, don't just put the name of the website, thus: "bobs-goop.yahoo.com" You need to include the protocol specifier, like this: "http://bobs-goop.yahoo.com" Otherwise the link may be misinterpreted by some web browsers.

A sex slave (or perhaps just a really close friend who I could occasionally have sex with. Oh dear - that means I need condoms as well. No, you just need a really close friend who's had a vasectomy.

Reply to the political correctness parody in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Well, I was hoping that someone else would have commented by now, but I guess I'll follow up to myself... Anyway, I was thinking about the function of "PC" as "a good base for decent or tolerable behavior" and contrasting that goal to my own distaste for most things PC. Yet I consider myself to be very interested in behaving decently or tolerably. And I realized that the biggest problem that I have with this whole PC thing is its inherently

Reply to Testicle Festival in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Reminds me of the old joke.... A tourist is in Spain, and goes to a fancy restaurant for dinner. As he looks around, he notices a diner being served a beautifully garnished dish with two gigantic meatballs in the middle. When the waiter asks him for his order, the man asks him about the meatball dish. The waiter explains that the meatballs are bull's testicles, and when the bull loses the bullfight, the bull is brought to the restaurant, and t

Thomas Covenant was by Stephen R. Donaldson, I believe. (I read the first trilogy and found it interesting, but when I started on the second it was just so much more of the same pessimistic self-hating attitude I couldn't stand to keep going. One of very few books that I have just plain given up on.)
