Touch is a wonderful thing and, as I've said before, people underestimate it's power. Whenever I'm in the hospital they always ask if I want the bed-bath. I always decline and hobble off to the bathroom to take care of myself. The main reason being, given my taste for nurses, I'm afraid I might get a little too "excited" during the process. (At
The predictions for bail were between $500,000 and $2.5 million. What he got was a shockingly low bail for a man who took one of the most famous flights from custody in American history. (If only he'd ended up in a barn surrounded by dogs and a posse, we'd be spared this latest fiasco.) I've been watching that judge for years. I think he's a bit of an idiot. When I saw he was presiding I thought, "Oh no." If I remember correctly he was the judge on the Ted
You mean this kind of behavior is common at America's truck stops? Why, that's un-American! Yeah! Keep it in the airport restrooms where it belongs! Now you have me wondering.....are these women attractive?</
I hope. Darn. Stole my thunder. I was going to end a blog this way. Actually I was going to quote the end of Stephen King's "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption," but same difference. Okay, I'll just have to be thought of as ripping off Dharma. (Why I think that's worse than ripping off Stephen King, I do not know.)
usually not the problem...often. Kinda, sorta, maybe? I'm sorry if I insinuated they were a problem. I didn't mean it that way.
Heh. It's stories like this that make me almost glad I don't have kids. Almost. My cat likes to wake me up sometimes when he thinks he needs something. Grrrr. I was up this morning, too, waiting on JU to let me in. I was kinda sad and depressed yesterday so it carried into the night (and into today, too, but that's another matter...). So, I was up all night, alternately watching DVDs and going online. I wrote some emails and sat around hoping for a response. Someone?
I almost wrote a similar article. The past couple of days I have been sorely tempted to leave. I thought I'd made my peace with JU, but.... (In other words, back to normal for me.) Eh, I'll get over it soon enough. Here's hoping we both do, and sooner rather than later.
I find that when I'm not blogging regularly, it takes a while to again build up a nice stable of commenters. As for fantasy writing (of any kind, I'll include SF and "dark fantasy," AKA horror, in that, as well) back when I worked with newbie writers I always found it nearly impossible to get them to believe people weren't as fascinated by the worlds they created as they were. They refused to believe readers weren't drooling to read paragraph upon paragraph of endless unnecessary d
Of the movies listed, I like Grease II and Mission to Mars. As for Highlander 2 I enjoyed "The Renegade Version" more than the original Highlander, which I didn't care for at all. I've never seen the original "The Quickening" version. Wasn't that based on the Disney ride? I guess it worked for Pirates of the Caribbean <
Fekkin' awesome. Thanks for sharing that link, Gene. Wow. I saw those and ran right off to type up an article. Like making a sculpture of Garth Brooks
I've always enjoyed this guy's work. I posted this a while back, last year maybe? Sorry about that, Mason. I missed it.
In more ways than one. Little-Whip: 2. Nash: 0.
I actually started a lengthy reply. A couple of thoughts: "Brevity is the soul of wit." "Genius simplifies." I've found you can take the same idea and express it in either a 1000 page novel or a 17 syllable haiku. (Maybe you should take up haiku. Learning to express yourself in such a limited space would be good for you
The whole world's getting darker. Have you noticed, for instance, how much darker and negative the movie remakes are than the originals?
Isn't it amazing that someone can make works of art like this that just wash away with the next rain or when people do start walking on them. I know! I think I'd find the impermanence heartbreaking. (Though I have occasionally done that -- put a lot of work into something I knew would soon disappear or be destroyed, just for the sheer pleasure
Maybe they just don't want to walk on the pretty drawings. Keyword: "seems." From the direction most of the people in the picture are walking they wouldn't see the 3-D effect anyway. Them seeming to step around it is almost as much of an illusion as the artwork. Look at how the second guy from the right's foot looks as if he just stepped around
Okay, this is so cool. Notice in the picture below how everyone seems to be carefully sidestepping the hole in the pavement and the other large piece laying on the sidewalk? It is totally unnecessary! It's an optical illusion! Those are actually sidewalk drawings (notice the chalk box to the lower right). You can find more of these fantastic pics <a href="http://o.ptical
I guess that I'm afraid of change. Everyone is. I'm still scared, but now I'm excited too! There you go. Define it as excitement. That's the way to handle it. <img src="../images/smiles/
Glad to hear things are mostly all right. Blood pressure varies so much, that a single result isn't anything to worry about. The next time you go back everything will probably be normal. I had a technician who didn't know how the hell to stick the needle in my vein, until I offered her my other
Don't expect any answers. HBO cancelled it. Maybe it was just the passing delusion that flitted through Tony Soprano's mind after he got whacked and the lights went out.
It was worse earlier. It looks like someone deleted about half of them. I don't know why they didn't delete them all and ban the three accounts it looks like the person signed up last night.
Are you anxious or worried all the time or almost all the time, or do you have separate periods of anxiety that come on rapidly? with a I'm anxious almost all the time, response, the answer was that I have OCD! The test is complete B.S. <TD
Ouch. Remember, what people say about you is solely a reflection of them , not of you at all. And as Dr. Phil would say, "worthless is not a feeling." Yes, her words are hurtful, but there is no need to take them to heart or make the leap you have. Besides, what kind of psychotic is nicey-nicey to someone's face then runs to the Internet to belittle them. Now that's psycho. So why worry about what the psycho is babbling? <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gif" bord
a vintage vw van that starts every time someone turns its key. Heh. Reminds me of a neighbor I had who owned a vintage VW van. It seemed he spent all weekend every weekend with a tool box fiddling with the beastie.
Welcome to JU. or should I say rather weeks, Try years. *SIGH* That’s how I fell right now. I just want to cry, hoping perhaps in the deepest corner of my mind that, crying will suddenly fix everyt
