They made a horror movie out of Winnie the Pooh. It's bad, sure, but the single worst sin is that Pooh does not say "Oh, bother.." right before he gets killed.
It's perfectly fine for Republicans to lie about their credentials, as long as they're not queer and/or do a an exceptionally poor job of concealing their embezzling.
Well, good for me I guess? I got a spot of cold sores on my FOREHEAD that seems to break out before anywhere else so I can start treatment before I get a real nasty infection. good, I guess. I cannot believe I was so promiscuous before I got married and never picked it up, but then got it from my husband 3 weeks before he moved out. Is that some life bullshit or what?
I did, but it's responding to Valtrex. I had dental surgery over the summer and we could not keep our lips off each other. I think that is when I picked it up.
Good morning! I am not an early riser at all, so this is insomnia hour on the east coast for me. The biggest dilemma is figuring whether to eat or drink and what. I just ate my last Christmas gift cookie, I think I will have a glass of water and go back to sleep. Now Clementina is meowing for more cat kibble. I settled on some small slices of "French" "bread" at the store which was so bad, a person of French descent should be embarrassed to have it in their home, let alone eat it. But I have no shame.

Greta turns 20! She's not a teenager anymore, she looks like a model. Her impact on my life is that I couldn't conscience getting yet another gas water heater when an electric heat pump water heater was available for about the same cost. It runs on renewable electricity. When I depart this earth, I will feel better knowing that the world's future is in the hands of people like her.
At work I have to wear pants cause ticks, but I buy oversized man pants because less restricting and more room in the naughty bits area. Even my thermals for the cold time are guy thermals.
Lady pants are waaayyy too up close and personal for me to even deal with. I can't even do leggings or hose XD
I have two pairs of jeans- the nice ones which are actually made for women but do not ride up in the crotch so I keep them for the nice jeans, and my old baggy work set I do gardening in.
For work though I lean toward a canvass or duck or whatever that is called. Bit stiffer, reinforced knee sort of thing, less likely you're gonna have to leave the field suddenly due to seam failure.
My clothes need to be about as tough as a junkyard dog XD
HA I was cleaning out my closet over the holiday and I found my old mini skirt.
Was a sort of faux suede gray thing with a subtly darker grayer geometric print on it and soooo very short.
Probably could not even get it over one leg these days ^.^ But back in the day, that skirt and the silver strappy heel sandals or the over the knee suede boots, were all it took to make a night complete
I generally do the sundresses in the summer. So free and flowy and yet comfy.
Gotta be 100% cotton though, for the texture. I wear so many of em that my entire summer not work wardrobe is sundresses now XD Like I don't even have non-work related warm clothing otherwise
Just spent a half hour reading the comments on Dok's story about Missouri's criminalization of homelessness, and now my brain's broken. Feel like I should put on a straightjacket, sit on the floor and stare at the wall for awhile. Maybe mutter something unintelligible under my breath.
Long before I knew his name, I knew Hendrick Avercamp’s paintings. They show a merry Christmassy world of funnily dressed people disporting themselves on frozen canals: paintings I knew from jigsaw puzzles and holiday cards. Here was a young couple gliding over the ice, love in their eyes; there were people exercising picturesque professions — a skate sharpener, a bird catcher, a chestnut seller.
But if you kept looking, you found a good-natured scabrousness. Behind that spidery tree was a man defecating, and over there was a woman who’d slipped and exposed her red buttocks, and there, beside the village inn, was a drunken fool being fished out of the ice. No artist ever captured winter fun as well.
These scenes were so iconic, so Dutch, that I felt a bit bereaved, when I moved to the Netherlands more than 20 years ago, to realize that the world they showed was gone — and that thanks to climate change, it wouldn’t be coming back.
My spawn were loling over the very hilarious let's make Steamboat Willie free memes and what not last night.
It just kinda made me a little sad, like the winnie the pooh horror thing. I used to think of the Pooh and remember, fondly, when the spawn were babes, or even to lol over the hail satan gif, but now I get that movie image stuck in my head.
Just kinda wish we humans could let some things alone, let them remain nice.
Also, I am rather dismayed there is no Cocaine Mouse as of yet.
1870: Construction starts on the Brooklyn Bridge, which is in Brooklyn. People start lining up to sell the bridge.
1911: The Battle of Stepney in London involves the British Army helping out the police, and leaves two dead. It also sparks a political storm over the head of the Home Secretary, a guy named Winston Churchill.
1933: Minnie Craig becomes the first woman Speaker of North Dakota's House o' Representatives. She's the first woman to wield the Speaker's gavel (I bet you thought I was going to say "hold the gave," you naughty folks).
1953: Francis Bolton and her son Oliver become the first mother and son to serve at the same time in the US House o' Reprehensibles.
1961: The USA severs diplomatic ties to Cuba. Also, the SL-1 nuclear reactor in Idaho suffers a steam explosion, killing three.
1977: Apple Computer is incorporated.
1990: His will broken by Styx, Manuel Noriega surrenders to American forces.
2009: The "Genesis Block" for the whatever-it-is called Bitcoin is uploaded. I think it's a scam, and still do.
2015: Boko Haram terrorists destroy the town of Baga in Nigeria, massacring 2000.
2019: China lands the Chang'e 4 probe on the far side of the Moon. Hooray!
I have a set because they're so pretty. I want to get the Dali set.
Full disclosure: My mom was into all that occult stuff back in the day. We went to Casadega, which had a bunch of psychics, and she did astrology charts on everyone.
My folks were catholic, and all that mystic stuff was very strictly verbotten to them.
Like we could watch bewitched and stuff, they weren't that fanatical about it, but no psychics, no tarot cards. In hindsight I guess they did us a solid, but back when it got real hot for a minute, it was kinda annoying. All my friends were reading palms and cards!
In day's infancy, peace and greetings, fellow Wonkers! (celebrates the Sacrament of Coffee) CNN reports this morning things we already knew: That Haley and De Santis don't dare attack The Homunculus over his assault on democracy, and that the gunman who broke into the Colorado Supreme Court building "May not have" (according to police) links to the court's decision striking The Homunculus from the 2024 ballot.
Yeah, look at his mugshot. This doesn't look like a wild-eyed fanatic, oh no sir.
I tried to get an idea about the Epstein List, but the article I found last night was concentrating predominantly on Big Bill Clinton, with a swipe at Andy "I Can't Sweat" Windsor. Liberal media, my saggy ass . . .
Admittedly, I enjoyed watching as Disney anused DeSantis but its important to remember their corporate tyranny cuts a broad swath.

Did you have chickenpox when you were a young? If so, it could be shingles.
I did, but it's responding to Valtrex. I had dental surgery over the summer and we could not keep our lips off each other. I think that is when I picked it up.
A definitely unwanted legacy.
:hugs: Diane
Just WTF?! I thought having a huge tattoo from someone who broke my heart was tough.

Herpes can be dormant for a long time.

At least you made me laugh.
You were the only person judging anything about anyone in terms of what I said.

I'm a horrible insomniac, but sometimes putting something filling in my stomach does help me go back to sleep. Think carbs.
I guess it's a good reason to have leftover pizza in the fridge for these occasions.

Daily PSA:
PANTS ARE GOVERNMENT TYRANNY!
That is all.
Honestly, I vastly prefer dresses or skirts with leggings.
Pants are... restricting.
I hate jeans with a passion. It if I wanted to be rubbed up by coarse cotton all day... I would have gone into another profession.
ETA: You have to remember that I'm on the spectrum and have texture issues...
With you on all of this.
At work I have to wear pants cause ticks, but I buy oversized man pants because less restricting and more room in the naughty bits area. Even my thermals for the cold time are guy thermals.
Lady pants are waaayyy too up close and personal for me to even deal with. I can't even do leggings or hose XD
I hate anything tight on me (ahem, clothes wise). I buy the jeans with the stretchy denim and can tolerate them for short periods.
I have some tuxedo pants that are (ironically) some of the most comfortable pants I own.
I have two pairs of jeans- the nice ones which are actually made for women but do not ride up in the crotch so I keep them for the nice jeans, and my old baggy work set I do gardening in.
For work though I lean toward a canvass or duck or whatever that is called. Bit stiffer, reinforced knee sort of thing, less likely you're gonna have to leave the field suddenly due to seam failure.
My clothes need to be about as tough as a junkyard dog XD
edit: forgot to add, at home it is my flannels in the winter and the sundresses in the not winter
Donald Duck and Porky Pig agree.
Winnie the Pooh says, "Pants? Oh, bother."
"Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chinos!"
Misspelled "Wonkers".
There is no skirting the issue on that one.

"Mr Watters began by admitting he had 'always feared fortune tellers' ”.
He also fears the dark.
Mr Watters began by admitting that he is a very stupid person.
He doesn't click the link on the Have a Good Day post! Three days bad luck!
I thought that it frowned on Astrology, also? Looking at you, Nancy Reagan.
When it said she got out her tarot cards I DIED!

Full disclosure: My mom was into all that occult stuff back in the day. We went to Casadega, which had a bunch of psychics, and she did astrology charts on everyone.
There are some really cool sets out there!
I have a Rider-Waite deck, and a deck described as an "erotic" deck, given to me as a present a few years ago.
OF COURSE YOU HAVE AN EROTIC SET.
The Rider-Waite is the one I have.
My folks were catholic, and all that mystic stuff was very strictly verbotten to them.
