I find myself muttering, when confronted by persons of that ilk, "Time wounds all heels. Time wounds all heels." I've also found a simple stare to be effective. Not hostile. just slightly questioning. You'd be amazed at what comes out of people's mouths to fill the silence. (Why are we so afraid of silence?) Be brave, buckaroo. **X

Ha - haven't heard anything about the Oscars yet (dress colours or otherwise) but would think there'd be plenty of weenies to choose from. After all, look at the Big Weenie who got stuck between Our Nicole after she buttered her buns and slapped on some sauce all those years ago. Shudder. They don't come any weenier than that. Love, R xxx

from dangerspouse :

Sorry you and Bug caught a bug. Want me to send NewWifey(tm) over to build you a hospital or somthing? Even if she doesn't do that for you, her 3-point access always makes ME feel better when I'm illin'. Maybe it'll work for you two too. (Just don't forget to send her back when you're done. I have an addition to the garage I need built. Thanks.)

from science-boy :

You are the sweet girl! **reaches across the distance to give her a warm hug and a tiny peck on the cheek** Thank you. For everything! s-b

from science-boy :

Same here, luv! I am almost caught all the way up on all your entries. I love your expression and your expressions. The floating back and forth from straight commentary to creative recollection. Heady stuff!! **checks into the dicentrah addiction clinic** "Hi. My name is science-boy, and I am a dicentrah additct." "Hi, science-boy." ;-)

from arc-angel666 :

Hi: I too suffer from the...what did you call it, The Martian Flu? Actually that's a pretty good description of it , I have turned green and seem to communicate through vomiting lol. Today marks another trip around the Sun for me...my birthday 2-12, and unfortunately I haven't felt well enough to celebrate, bummer. As far as the Army goes I was an Infantry Officer in an Airborne Ranger Company. I was young and dumb wanted to serve my country Unfortunately I got to see the ELEPHANT too many times (Civil War term for going into combat). It wasn't quite what I thought it would be, but I did what Soldier do and have learned to live with it.. I did get to see parts of the world under circumstances most folks never will. I guess that's what it means to be a soldier so others never have to. There were really good parts to the Army also. I saw people and places most don't know even exist. I went to Africa (northern and central), Middle East, Asia, (western and southeast) Former Yugoslavia (Bonsia/Croatia) There were wondrous site to behold, well except when folks are shooting at you, the Army actually put the traveling bug in me and I've been traveling ever since.. I know a lot of actors don't like going on location but I love it. I was on active duty and the reserves a total of 10 years. Unfortunately while in the reserves they had a tenancy to call you to active duty a lot when your an Officer. Don't get me wrong I was a good soldier and proud to serve my country but there were somethings I'd rather have avoided, but that is part of being a soldier. I think I'll try and actually eat a piece of my birthday cake now, and hope it stays down. Good Night Fellow Flu Host :-)

from bingoguy :

There's an ALTERNATE version to that commercial where the mother attacks Introduction Boy.

from hissandtell :

I haven't seen the ad (possibly because I try to avoid commercial television), but I agree with you on many levels about its inherent offensiveness. Mainly, though, I bemoan our lack of critical literacy which is evident in the way we passively accept the pap that is forced down our throats (heh - like Introduction Boy's tongue) every minute, in the name of crap-product marketing. Now, why not remake the ad with a young lesbian couple and watch the parents' response? I rather suspect THAT would make for interesting viewing. Love, R xxx

from science-boy :

I tip my hat to you yet again! And moved you up my list! You are definately worth the trip. 32 flavors and then some! **wink** s-b

from arc-angel666 :

Hi! Its been a while. I'm sorry to hear of your bout with the flu/cold. Get better soon. As far as the stomach goes, I've always had a decent stomach, but after 20 bls loss and all the retching, it looks great, you know the kind where I pull my shirt up while driving the LA freeways yelling hey look at this lol. Out of curiosity I decided to try on my old Army Uniform...lo and behold it fit, actually it was loose on me! So what's new with you? Do you ever come to the west coast actually to LA? I recently had the pleasure of two dlanders join me on one of the sets here. JP said she'd send me a copy of the photos and said its okay to post them here. Anyway I loved to take the lovely, tell it like it is, shooting from the hip Librarian to Lunch, of course any and all friends traveling with you are more than welcome, we'll charge it to the Producers lol. :-)

Excellent, thanks. I'll definately check her work out! :)

What? You don't get erections? What are you doing wrong, missy? (Oops, I have to go and think about sex again now, and about buffer cords grazing my nipples - yum. Damn these constant dentist fantasies!) Love, R xxx

Woo hoo, a new sex shop! And recommended by LESBIANS!! Talk about a fire hot rubdown of the genitalia coming up. And...you say you've done that also? Details girl, DETAILS!! (Pics, if possible.)

Hey! You do realise, missy, that we could BOTH be online together on our splendid new laptops, while we're BOTH in our bathrooms? Now really, how cool would that be? Love, R xxx

Awww, baaaby, I'm so sorry. Bleeding, cat poop, unhappy Bug...ugh. Perhaps there's one advantage to your bleeding at the same time, all the misery is over at once. Can you imagine if you tag-teamed? Ow, argh. Here's to the swift completion of the stair sanding, the exclamation point, and period forgetfulness/grumpiness. **!X

While it's worth going whole hog and wearing the super-duper respirator, sealing off areas that you're not working on, and treating dusty clothing worn while taking all that paint off as hazardous, what's embedded in your hand probably isn't lead, but graphite. Not something you want to snorf up with the enthusiasm of a kid in a chocolate factory, but not <quite> as inimical as lead. So, healthy respect, but not terror, is a good response. You may want to check out some further safety measures for you, the Bug, and the cats. Bonne chance, brave woman!

Well done, Mighty Butch Tree Hunter! Next time though, just leave the tree in the frozen bucket, set it up with a tree skirt over the ugly metal, and the slowly melting ice will automatically water the tree. Voila, the EasyWay(tm) to care for Christmas fauna. You're welcome :)

from ladybug-red :

Oh honey - I am so sorry to hear about your friend. It breaks my heart.

from xat :

I am so sorry. Having lost a number of people as unexpectedly and as inexplicably, I understand how hard it is to figure it out. Why? We ask, again and again. We don't know. We can't know. What we can do is forgive them for leaving, and ourselves for not being able to see or prevent it. Remember the crosswords, the cheese and the conversations you had. Give those stories to her daughter; perhaps (in time) it will help her remember her mom as not only an enigma, but as a person.

from hissandtell :

Oh, darling. That's yet another horrible, awful, hideous thing about it: often we never even know why. I guess some people are just so adept at slipping on a mask every day that noone ever guesses what's really beneath. And we're left wondering why we were such bad friends that we never saw it coming. Love, R xxx

from hissandtell :

Awww. Two of my favourite things. Love, R xxx

from hissandtell :

Humph. Yes, well. We'll see just how kissy-faced and sandy-bottomed they feel when the Family First Party's finished with them, won't we? Love and big sloppy smooches, R xxx

from ladybug-red :

The emotions have been overwhelming.

from hissandtell :

Smooch, baby! xxx

from hissandtell :

Nooooooo! Hysterical. It reminds me slightly of when I woke up one day (years ago) to find that my boyfriend and my houseguests - who'd stayed up drinking together the night before - had fashioned phallus-thingies out of every available item they could, ah, get their hands on. There were attractive combinations of zucchini-and-tomatoes, banana-and-apples, wine bottle-and-oranges etc. In fact, there were about twenty different (and quite imaginative) penis-symbols placed all over the house... Love, R xxx

from hissandtell :

See? I wish my accountancy program (and my accountant) allowed me to actually categorise expenses in such ways. Mind you, "Whoops!" would probably be my biggest category, by far. It's just that I have to think of creative ways to assign items like that (and "Major Fuck Up") to different boring cattle station-type categories, so that I sound at least halfway financially responsible. Sometimes I hate being a grown-up, you know. Whoops. Love, R xxx

Congratulations!

Congrats! Can you tell if she's a lesbian yet??

from ladybug-red :

Congratulations Auntie!

from olivia30 :

Just a suggestion on your most recent entry. I have a 5 year old and wanted the same thing with my last partner. I wanted to work - and have her stay home. It wasnt going to happen and I make over 50,000 a year.... Its very expensive to have kids... She wanted to finish school (to be an acct) and work as well to contribute ... We finally agreed that she would continue school (online) and work part-time until we could afford to do things differently. Just wanted to put my measly 2 cents in considering that i already have a child and i know the ups and downs of wanting to be able to stay home and having to compromise so everyone is content ... its hard... but I promise ... it will all work out just the way it is supposed to -

from bingoguy :

Pssst, I updated.

from arc-angel666 :

Yeah those nose rashes are nasty, sorry you feel bad. Out of curisoity what are the 2 feet chains use for? Was it fun?

from dangerspouse :

Well, what WERE the chains supposed to be used for??

from xat :

1. Thank you for the congrats. *grin* I'm still a wee bit giddy from actually getting it done. 2. Two and half feet of chain?! *gulp* Wheeeeeeee! Go be fabulous, 'cause y'are. **!x

from olivia30 :

Just wanted to drop a quick note to let you know that I read your entries daily and they are the highlight of my day : ) pretty sad .. but true ... You are so light-hearted and try to see the best in everything ... so .... thanks

from hissandtell :

Ummm...for that extra security should that forward bastard ever jump you again while your, ah, back is turned, how about you suggest he invest in a car condom? (http://www.carcondoms.com) At least it might keep his filthy boy-germs at bay. Love, R xxx

from xat :

Beautiful flower pictures, thank you so much for sharing. Golly, I do miss the colours in a New England garden sometimes.

from arc-angel666 :

You crack me up lol. Tell ya what, since shaving doesn't seem to bring the desired effects you were looking for, actually the results look painful. Next time you are in LA I'll pay for a day at Pink Cheeks. All the women I know love and swear by this place. It comes with a guarantee, no stubble and the skin down there is as soft as a Baby's Bottom. If you choose not to, stop shaving, it does look pain, and, the Treasure is still there just covered with a little foilage. After all, as you said the hair may come in handy...for a quick floss! LOL. Respectfully Michael

from hissandtell :

Well, gosh, I'm rendered speechless. Cat's got my tongue, in fact. Darling, console yourself with the thought that a good-looking puss, like a cheese, or a fine wine, or even sucking, can only get better with time. (Time heals all wounds, they say, but leaves the scars. Now there's a thought to cling to. Or wrestle with.) Thank you so much for sharing the love! Smooch, R xxx

from xat :

Che bravissima for the photos. Pretty kitty, indeed. As to the remnants of grooming hell, I've found a brand-new razor, shaving in the direction of hair growth, with a shaving cream for sensitive skin, use a gentle lotion after shaving, and a willingness to wear loose clothing for the first day or so, minimizes the "mean reds." That and, hell, if anyone looks that closely, they deserve what they get--we ain't air-brushed, computer-enhanced, team of stylist-having people. Me? I'm campaigning for the return of skirted bathing suits. I resent being a properly socialized, late 20th/early 21st century, North American woman who feels compelled to shave from armpit to ankle before venturing outside. But I do it. *sigh* *laugh* Now, the total shave...oh, that can be quite (uhm) titallating every so often.

from hissandtell :

So you mean it's only the lack of a Gold, um, Membership that's separating you and your readers from the Money Shots? Well, hey, honey, in that case I'll check my purse! And please advise your Italian Stallion that some of us "Aboriginal Throwbacks" aren't quite as ferally furry as the Mediterranean girls he was weaned on. Anyone who's ever had the privilege of exploring my, ah, map of Tasmania has been dead-impressed by its lightly-forested remnant vegetation. So there. (And how disappointingly typical of an urban American property-developer boy from New Jersey, standing on the edge of a New Frontier, to want to knock down virgin timber to erect a skycraper. Ah, well, you pave paradise and put up a parking lot...) Smooch again! Love, R xxx

from dangerspouse :

What does an Aboriginal throwback know about personal grooming? Don't listen to Hissandtell, I hissandtellya! Get a Weed Eater down there PRONTO, White Fang! And then...post pics so we can see the end results and give you the applause you so richly deserve. (One handed applause, in my case).

from hissandtell :

Yep, just give the ol' welcome mat a sweep and a shake and you're open for business! Smooch, darling. Love, R xxx

from olivia30 :

I will go without shaving for a month if it doesnt work !! pinkie swear : ) I remember you saying that you were tender skinned ... that's why I suggested you using it in the shower .. and just rub gently ... I am glad you read my diary .. I used to keep it locked ... and when I unlocked it I erased alot of previous entries .... scared to open up and let people read about me that don't even know me ?? whats that about .... Hopefully we will keep in contact : )

from olivia30 :

pumice stones ... this is your cure !! You can get them at any grocery store...It seems as if it would be painful ... use it in the shower and DO IT GENTLY .... good luck : )

Good Afternoon Ms Flower: Having trouble with deforestation? I live on the Beach here in sunny California and you'd be hard press to find a single unruly female garden. According to most of the Women I know, they swear by an establishment known as Pink Cheeks. They specialize in removal of said shrubbery, thinning, trimming, shaping and have some of the most intricate designs. THey also tell me its a Waxing technique that doesn't hurt. Hopefully so! I have personally seen their handy work and I'm quite impressed. Being a huge fan of the Vagina, I personally prefer unencumbered view of that lovely Treasure. That mysterious Force that is responsible for creating all that is, did a wonderful job when He or She designed the Vagina. If I were to find fault with said Treasure it would be its covering. Why you ask? Would you cover a magnificence and beautiful Flower with leaves? Leave a Diamond Ring in its box? If it is a matter of personal choice and the woman feels better for it, I am fine with it. If invited, I shall find the Treasure regardless, be overcome by its beauty, drink of its honey, explore its wonderment, become one with said Treasure and ........opps....sorry...sometimes I do carry on so LOL. Well, time to jump into the Ocean or at least a cold shower LOL. Respectfully a fan of Womanhood Michael.......... damn it I mean Arc-angel 666

from bingoguy :

the gf uses those little pads that you rub on the skin and it seems to do wonders for making her smooth. I can ask her what they're called, if you'd like.

from hissandtell :

Hmmm. Quite the quandary, darling. And quite the graphic description to fire up my bright-eyed and bushy-tailed imagination. Not being one to, um, clear the undergrowth myself, I simply can't offer any helpful suggestions. Instead I'll just ask if a photo or two are out of the question? Love, R xxx

from xat :

Thank you for the chin up suggestion. The sun has come from behind her veil today, and I'm planning a wallow in the shine. *smile* Blessed be!

from hissandtell :

Darling, your last entry about resolving old hurts moved me greatly. I do hope you can sort out whatever residual issues remain between you both. Where I once didn't care a bit about such things, I now find myself more amenable to making peace with those whom I've fallen out with (well only to a degree, of course - I'm not that benevolent or foolhardy!) Love your work, as always. Smooch. Love, R xxx

from arc-angel666 :

Good Morning from blistering hot So Cal, we have had some 100 degree weather ( I like to start out with the guise of normalcy) ! Out of curiosity, is your flower also a herb or do I have it confused....like most things with me? Sorry I didn't mean to pose as a Bible carrying, mind confused, do gooder, but it works so well lol. Trust me, Reverence isn't a big suit of mine. On occasion I am struck with piety, rarer still I strike a pose of Holier than Thou and should that occasion arise....Please feel free to address me as Your Assholiness. Have a great day, time to be mean ( the character I'm playing is a Nasty Individual) God I love my work LOL.

from xat :

May wellness and all blessings be on you and yourn. *smile*

OH MY GOD! How can you do that? Its against nature! Its just wrong!! I just get sick when I think of it. If God want us to do that he would have made the world a stage......OH wait,,,, Geesh! OOps! Sorry, I misread your profile and diary... I thought it said you were a Thespian. Forgive me! For I am one of those abominations, I am an actor. I didn't want to be one, its in my genes I can't help it, God knows I want to be normal, a banker maybe but I can't. Oh my God! I just saw your photo attached to your profile, Jesus Tap Dancing Christ you are an Underwear Model! Out of the frying pan into the fire, I call Jerry Farwell, the God Squad, the main office of the American Religious Right and make a personal request for President Bush to save you. I will pray for you LOL. Hi Dientrah, I'm a friend of dangerspouse and he recommended I read you. Oh by the way which herb are you? Its my understanding your genus has irregular flowers and you are fumitory....funny I had a film critic say the same of me (fumitory). It nice to meet you....I am a bit playful and I hope I didn't offend you. Respectfully Michael oops I mean arc-angel 666

Isn't that odd? It must be in the zeitgeist or sumpin'. Last Friday night we got into it about Shakespeare. The discussion grew quite heated; raised voices and all. *laugh* Then we drank more wine. I hope all goes boring and well for your Bug-and that that's the last of that.

Yeah, that cheese-fruit will get ya every time...

from haloaskew :

Why thank ya! I shed enough tears during my youth (one day I will tell the treehouse story), so I love to languish in tales of someone of my age with a friend who has breast cancer...(gimme some kleenex, NOW!) Kinda reminds me of how when I bought season 1 of Little House on the Prairie on DVD, I now sympathize and connect with Carolyn and Charles (DAMN! Roll him up in a biscuit and I'd sop him up with gravy!) more than I do with that whippersnapper Laura...but give me a few hours to read a few of my LHotP books again, and I'm THERE! Runnin' round by the creek again and helpin' Pa squish bits of cloth in the cracks of the newly-built cabin logs, so the wind ain't so fierce when the wolves cry on those bitter winter nights...Oh, criminey. I need help. I'll re-read my copies of E. Berg's teenager genre books and see if I get a new spark this time...but only AFTER I track down a copy of "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" (my pre-teen BIBLE).

from haloaskew :

I know...I automatically snatch up anything new she has in hardcover too, even though it's so expensive (and especially since her books aren't exactly voluminous -- which I must admit, ticks me off sometimes). I dunno 'bout you, but I haven't been quite as thrilled with her latest stuff though...she's kinda wearing the whole single/divorced/separated woman with dying friend/gay best friend/mother with Alzheimer's out a bit, don't you think? But I always like that stuff better than her books about the teenage girl. She needs to write another book about all the gals from Talk Before Sleep to see what happened to 'em after Ruth died. Then again, I'm just being a bitchy fan...what do I know?

from dangerspouse :

Ha! See? God punished you for skipping out on those sincere, if off key, warblers. A Christian car would never have its battery drained in a mere 3 minutes. Next time just plug your ears and act holy, and your ride home will be assured. (BTW, I always thought that "Christian Music" was an oxymoron. Or just a bunch of morons. Whatever). Hey, I loved your note to me! Who knew a post about food could give rise to so much sexual innuendo? (Well, besides you, I mean). Luv ya, babe!

from haloaskew :

I just noticed you're an Elizabeth Berg fan too! Talk Before Sleep in particular blew me away...one of my all-time favorite books.

Yep, it's an unkindness of ravens. Also, a bouquet of pheasants, an ostentation of peacocks (though some go with a muster of peacocks), a siege of herons, paddling of ducks, a clamor of rooks, a descent of woodpeckers, a fall of woodcocks and, oh, we all know that it's a gaggle of geese, but if they're flying it's a skein. I need help. Someone take this dictionary away!

from dangerspouse :

Wear a huge honkin' neck brace and fake arm cast. Maybe a Klan hood. They'll probably not even notice the extra weight. Works for me at family reunions!

from hissandtell :

Oooh, baby, am I loving catching up on your entries that I've missed, or what?

from dangerspouse :

HAHAHAAA! I loved the "flask" comment! Thanks for chiming in on the Great Leather Debate, babe, I really appreciate your input. Yeah, a lot of you chicks seem to think the bag is the way to go...which is probably why I'll end up buying a leather steering wheel wrap or something. Hate to ruin my reputation. Ok, just kidding. Actually, I'm stopping at a mall I know has a few leather shops (and stores like Neiman Marcus and Fortunoff's) on my way home, and I'll check out all their wares. And you're right - Coach makes some good looking stuff, but I don't want to throw a whole paycheck at one. Thanks again kiddo, you're great!

from dangerspouse :

And to think I used to be that 19 year old guy. Of course, I was ranting about something of REAL importance back then - how Menudo was the 7th sign of the Apocolypse - but we're both cut from the same cloth. (BTW, I still believe that. About Menudo, I mean. It's why we got Bush.)

from dangerspouse :

Whew. The gremlins have apparently been asphyxiated and I can see your diary again. Thank god, I was getting worried.

from dangerspouse :

Ok, what am I doing wrong NOW. It's Saturday, and I need my fix of Dicentrah...but no Dicentrah is to be found! The diary is gone - only these notes are loading up. Did you take down your diary? Say it ain't so, Joe! Say it's just a stupid technical problem or something!!

from dangerspouse :

Somebody dislikes your spouse?? Hack up some of that overabundance of phlegm you're generating on them, says I! Ah well, you can't dictate another person's taste in friends. I ran into this problem years ago, when none of my family or friends liked a girl I thought the world of. I wish I could remember how I resolved the situation.....

from dangerspouse :

My wife LOVES the Indigo Girls and has seen them numerous times in concert. Your review was terrific!! (BTW, we would never waste that hair on building a new Corgi. We scrape it all up, and every two years we're able to stuff a new King Sized comforter with the stuff. It smells a little funny, but mmmmm mmmmm warm!)

from dangerspouse :

Wow, that was really a nice re-cap, and I loved the eagle nest cam. I hope you guys have more times like this together!

I cross over the Connecticut River all the time on my way to our races! Next time I'll peer over the railing and see if I can spot a babe getting herself wet down below. Have a great time getting paddled this weekend baby, and thanks for the swell mention! :)

from ladybug-red :

I got so wrapped up in your garden photos yesterday I forgot to say thanks for posting them. Your garden is an inspiration. I will have to overcome my photo shyness and post some of my out of control and mostly unidentifiable garden inhabitants. Maybe you can help me figure it out. I do have a giant fern that probably looked like yours about 20 years ago. It is a beast! -S

from ladybug-red :

*What's going on up there?* Classy! Sometimes people can be quite strange. On the plus side both bottom and top are worthy of compliment. I just wish that were true of myself after my *keeping track* episodes. Sounds like some potentially exciting times ahead for you!

from dangerspouse :

Hey, thanks for the note, you Heaving Rack o' Lamb! Glad I was able to perk up your...er, perk you up with my silly story. Jeez, why can't I think straight? Fuckin' testosterone. Anyway, Happy Birthday to Bug!! That was so sweet of you to arrange the whole Sister Suprise episode. Kudos! Thanks for the mammar...er, memories. Yeah.

from hissandtell :

Ummm, I occasionally used to tell the women I worked with, "Darling, you look sensational today and, may I add, your bosoms are spectacular," and although many of them would blush a little, they actually loved it...lucky we were work-friends, though, and they never wanted to sue me for harrassment or anything icky like that. And do have fun "keeping track"! Oh, may I add, I'm sure your bosoms are completely spectacular! Love, R xxx

from ladybug-red :

yes yes - link the garden photos. I am hoping you can inspire me to tame and learn to love the beastly out of control garden(s) I inherited with my very very old house. -S

Congratulations, darling. This is such a wonderful, clever, brave, loving thing you've done, and I'm hugely happy for you and your Bug. And bumping the war? Wow. These are indeed special times. Love, R xxx

Ok, I suppose I should, once again, start by congratulate you on the nuptials. But I can't, because there's something more important: WHERE THE HELL DO YOU COME OFF HAVING A CAVIAR EATING MONKEY? I can barely afford CHICKEN eggs and your Rhesus is shovelling dainty toast points with $65/ounce Segruva into his maw! Unfair!! Dammit - I knew I should have tried different names til I got a better battle rating. What kind of monkey eats burgers, anyway? Sheesh, he's probably weak from malnourishment. Oh well, thanks for playing. Uh, yeah, and the whole marriage thing: well done. Damn rich monkey....

from dangerspouse :

Dice dice baby! Woo hoo - the hell with your trivial marriage stuff...YOU WERE ON THE RADIO! I'm so jealous!!! LOL...Ok, obviously I'm happy as hell for you guys, and give you all the credit in the world for being in the vanguard of a national movement. You have more balls than me, even for a chick. Many years of love and (legal) togetherness, baby :) Oh, and thanks for the nice note at my place...but it seems trivial to comment on that after reading about you being such a part of History. Ok, off to NPR.org now! Ciao, Bella!!

from xat :

A thousand...a bazillion...a googleplex of congratulations and shiny, happy, joy to y'all. I'm all giddy with delight for you.

from xat :

Oooowwww! We should make up a uterine anti-pain chant. More chocolate, more heating pads, more anti-pain medicaments...and watch out for anyone getting in your way. Harness that energy. Seriously though, that's too bad that you're bleeding with such exuberance. *sad face with tears* Be brave, little buckaroo.

from ladybug-red :

Your lovely photo is not showing up and I do miss it - although it is you I come to visit. I also can relate to your monthly issues. For some reason (that I am sure is completely unrelated to my age) my body decided it was necessary for me suffer for nearly 2 straight weeks this month. Even when chocolate doesn't help, it helps. -S

from hissandtell :

Love it! Love the gardening stories! Love the thought of being chewed on!

from hissandtell :

Speaking as a (moderately) het married folk, I must tell you that in this country we don't have to have any kind of health tests at all before entering into a marriage - not even a blood test. How dare they ask personal questions like that - well, honestly, how rude! How intrusive! I think all we have to do here is turn up at our own weddings and sign the certificate - which I did, of course, although it was largely due to my mother's insistence...but do have fun with the needle anyway, darling. Love, R xxx

from hissandtell :

How completely exciting and wonderful for you both. Huge congratulations and lots of love, R xxx

from xat :

Bliss and happiness--wallow and enjoy~

from xat :

1. Thank you for your lovely, kind words. 2. Knowing that you wrote them through your own pain. . . gosh. I remember pulling all the muscles along the left side of my back because I sneezed. Oh, frail flesh! Be gentle, be kind, be better soon~

from hissandtell :

Yes, getting older does suck - great mountains of toxic landfill. Poor you. Almost every day I do something ridiculous that causes me an injury of sorts - get up from a chair stupidly and twist my ankle, climb off the motorbike too extravagantly and pull a muscle in my thigh, or stretch too far because I'm too lazy to stand up and get something, and end up with twinges and aches in my back. It's pathetic - especially given that I used to be able to abuse my body constantly, in every conceivable way, with no negative consequences I ever noticed. Our frail fragile earthly forms have some serious explaining to do, baby! Love, R (girl in the bush) xxx

from hissandtell :

Oh, how I love your work. And your babies. xxx

from ladybug-red :

I read On Writing recently on a plane trip. I kept bursting into laughter and everyone around me looked at me like I had lost my mind. Few things are *laugh out loud* funny to me so it was a great surprise to see the Stephen King had such a great sense of humor. Enjoy!

from dangerspouse :

I happened to be searching for...well, nevermind. But I came across this: http://houseochicks.com/gallery7.html#eve and thought of you. I mean, because of the title. Yeah. (Congrats on being published!!!)

from xat :

Brava and bravissima! Published AND saucy, new, red shoes? I'm so very pleased for you -- can you feel me smilin'? I am. Many, many, many congratulations.

from hissandtell :

Isn't it just marvellous when you hear the siren song of shoes from a distance? When they call to you and you have no choice but to answer? Amazingly, I've found that it's red shoes that seem to call the loudest. They're such tarts. Congratulations, too. Clever you! Love, R xxx

from dangerspouse :

D'OHH!! You're right, I missed the "Dangermullet" reference. But only because, um...well, I'm a thick skulled idiot. Hey listen, I'll be thinking good thoughts for your mom - really, I hope it works out ok for all concerned. Hang in there, babe.

from ladybug-red :

Thinking good thoughts for you and your mom. -S

from dangerspouse :

"But I'm thinking 4 more inches would have been swell." *sigh* If I had a dime for every time I've heard that....

from xat :

You got good,though slightly mouldy, mojo coming at you from the Pacific Northwest. And I'll have extra shipped in from my cousin in New Hamster . . .

from hissandtell :

"Orgasm in a cup" - I have never heard that one. I like it! And I think it's beyond sweet that you carry around photographs of your baby garden plants. I only hope that you inflict them on others at every opportunity, unsolicited, in the same way that parents of real baby-creatures tend to do...

from dangerspouse :

(IN YOUR FACE, HISSY!!) Now THAT'S more like it, baby! The description was *almost* fawning enough to do me real justice. And on a completely unrelated subject - those flower photos were beautiful! (Not that I noticed. That would be faggy). Thanks again :)

from hissandtell :

See? Ol' dongerboy's begging for it already. Give him what he needs? As if anyone could. Good luck!

from dangerspouse :

Don't listen to Hissandtell. What the hell do Aussies know, them and their stupid sheep, and Dame Edna and Yahoo Serious, for godsake. Fine, you've got your description. I should have done it sooner - you're that good. Now how about a bit more fulsome description of ME, instead of just a clipped cut-n-paste from my profile? C'mon baby, gimme what I need!

from hissandtell :

You're jealous of my escapades? Well, I'm pretty damned flattered by that, my girl! And here's the tip to get a description out of dongerboy - whatever you do, don't give him one first. If you hold out, he'll end up panting for it (like all men) and fall in a swoon at your feet. Love, R xxx

from dangerspouse :

Thanks for the link!! Always nice to get a recommendation from a pro ;)

from hausfrau :

I have sweaty smelly feet. I recently bought some of that rosemary scented spray. It is very refreshing, but it don't work on the stank for very long. :(

from hissandtell :

You're writing poetry to the dangermullet now? How intriguing. The poor divinely dishy darling sounds as if the mullet comments are starting to get to him. Keep it up.

from dangerspouse :

WOW!! "Do-able" from YOU is the ultimate praise! And if it ever came true, I'd get my Eagle Scout badge, I understand. Woo hoo! Go lesbians with good taste in men!! :) (And REALLY - it WASN'T a mullet!) Lol....

from dangerspouse :

Hey - THAT WASN'T A MULLET!! I swear! I have this big mop of curly black Mediterranean hair a la Sicily, and I just had to pull it back so I could jam that hat over my fat head. Ok, ok...it LOOKS like a mullet it that pic, I grant you. But I never owned a pickup truck, dammit!

from hissandtell :

Thanks for the note! Yes, not many jobs could, um, measure up to it, as it were. I am loving your diary, btw. I'll be back to read more. Regarding roosters, they are very quick in the lurrrve department, as you may or may not know (ask your pal, if he or she is still talking to you after all the mocking). Have you heard this joke - Q: What did the rooster say to the hen? A: I'm going to fuck you then! Love, R xxx

from dangerspouse :

I have to tell you, I've NEVER heard that Altoids rumour! But after reading the article, wouldn't you have to, y'know, actually RUB the stuff on you to produce a flushed feeling 'down there'? Like with the fellatio stories: the guys' dicks felt extra good because the mints in the chicks mouths caused it. They didn't swallow the stuff. Oh well, either way, I'm glad you smelled so good! Sure beat my wife's Eau d'Honda. Hey - thanks for the note. Glad I could give you the visual you no doubt craved :)

from dangerspouse :

Is Elizabeth really your friend? Man, I hope the Supreme Court is enlightened enough to end this debate once and for all on a positive note. Other than Prohibition, which was repealed, all the ammendments to the Constitution have GIVEN rights to the people, not taken them away. Let's hope the Bush Corp. does not succeed in setting a precident with this travesty.

from xat :

I'm doing my "get a license" dance. It's been wonderfullly insane out here in Oregon the past couple of weeks. The joy and excitement of the couples is beautiful.

from dangerspouse :

St. Tommy of Apussy! That's GREAT! I couldn't see my parents using it, but that's my new moniker from now on. Thanks :)

from dangerspouse :

Glad I could make you smile on a bloated day :) Now how 'bout making ME smile by moving your Navigation Box down a few inches? It's covering my favorite part of that picture! ("Geez. MEN!" she says to herself....)

from dangerspouse :

Would you accept a vibrator shaped brownie? It comes with nuts!

from strangerlucy :

thanks for checking up on me :) I've been in sort of a read only mode the past few weeks in d-land. my mom was hospitalized (it was her congestive heart failure), but is home now and doing better- daughter can't find a job in san diego, so that has me mucho depressed (her too), and she may be returning home in a few weeks- and other things that have conspired to make me Tired. capital 't'. I'll update soon, but it was nice to be missed, thank you:) I'm glad you seem to be rebounding- you'd had a rough few months yourself.

from dangerspouse :

A documentary about psychiatric institutions?! Damn, you sure know how to hurt a guy. Oh well, thanks for the great note at my place. That was very sweet! Especially at the end when you successfully eased my bitter disappointment about the film's subject matter.... What a pal!

from dangerspouse :

Wow. Sobering link to Marist there - thanks for that. Like the Geocities effort too! (And HI WENCHY!) :)

from wench77 :

hey, I'm here cuz of Dangerspouse quoting you. I totally agree on the adding stink to stink thing... what are people thinking?? An apple pie in a garbage bin smells like an apple pie in a garbage bin, not a clean table with an apple pie! And yeah, like he says, nice pic! (that's actually what I came to see, the nasty bi-dyke that I am!) :)

from xat :

Oh lordy, the water I sipped so daintily has just come out of my nose. Note to self: swallow drink, then read.

from dangerspouse :

Aw, thanks for the kind words about my diary. And I want you to know I read your stuff all the time, even if I don't comment often. You really are special.

from dangerspouse :

It's terrible when a RL event is so bad you can't find *some* humor in it. This is one of those times. I hope your mom is ok, and all your other travails lessen so you can get back to a world of humor and good cheer again. Hang in there, kiddo. Wishing you peace....

from betenoire05 :

First of all, I hope that your Mom is okay. You are definitely DUE some nice, boring days. Stay strong. Secondly, thanks for your note. You're right. Theatre geeks are some of the most interesting teens around.

from xat :

There's nothing but good mojo coming at you from the Pacific Northwest. I'm sending some of my boundless hope, too. It's wrapped in handmade paper, with a ribbon of joy.

from xat :

1. Whoa! There's one helluva a story there. Sounds like a fascinating way to spend time. 2. Thank you for the suggestion. It's going to be interesting to see what I do.

from xat :

Take joy when and where you can. It's a rare thing, but it's there if you look for it. BTW, isn't hacking's only real requirement curiousity? The jargon'll come later. If you're interested, dive in! Everybody's got to start somewhere.

from hausfrau :

Hey, thanks for the note. Sorry you're going through such a rough time right now. I hope you can try not to think of therapy as a defeat.

from dangerspouse :

Hey there! Thanks for leaving the great note over at my Humble Sanctuary of Good Taste! I just started reading your diary and am having a blast with it - another woman with a big mitre saw, woo hoo! Looking forward to goin' through 'em all - take care!

from enchancea :

thank you

from xat :

Stay safe, be warm and know that there are those who are sending care your way.

from xat :

I am distracted by the madness of this day, like all days, filled with those events which alter and illuminate our lives. Or inspire to crawl into a dark corner, gibbering and shaking.

from xat :

Oh my goodness -- have a wonderful, marvelous, beautiful time. All that dancing sounds lovely.

from xat :

Much good mojo to y'all. Everything's crossed and crossed again.

from betenoire05 :

OMG! I hope everything turns out okay. I double hope that the your mother's biopsy is clean, and your that your father's heart attack is not life threatening. You will definitely be in my thoughts. Chris

from xat :

*grin* Still lonely, but reminded that patience is probably a Really Good Idea.

from chubbychic :

Thanks for the encouragment about going to Curves. I was kinda nervous about the whole thing, but hearing about everyone's good experiences really helped. Thanks! *hugs*

from loopyboi :

ahhh. you signed my guestbook! :) hope everything is okay with mom. :( My good thoughts are with you.

from xat :

i just read about your mom. nothing but the bestest mojo to you and her ~

from betenoire05 :

Yo! That was too funny!

from betenoire05 :

Yo! That was too funny!

from marsist :

you poor, sweet darling. what a nightmare.

from betenoire05 :

I hope you had a nice, boring flight! Also, may lots of warm, sunny weather come your way this weekend.

from strangerlucy :

I am of the opinion that not only isn't it necessary to have friends who don't align on opinions (and the rest), but it's preferable. I tend to be middle of the road in my outlook, but as I get older, I've found myself with friends on both extremes- it keeps me thinking, and makes life a bit more interesting than if we all had a general consensus. Beside, when people consider themselves to be liberal but won't associate with conservatives, I begin to think that liberal isn't synonymous with open minded- which I used to. Still, I refuse to count fascists and the like as my friends, lol.

from strangerlucy :

oh the cat names aren't pretentious- it's my typical self deprecatin' brand of humor which doesn't always translate in print (and not always in real life, come to think of it ;) ) ANyhow- Chris Eliot is a silly man who is full of black humor- he started as a writer on Letterman show (he was the 'guy under the bleachers') and he had a shortlived but darkly funny sitcom called "Get a Life"- he was "Cabin Boy", and has played small roles on other sitcoms. He's one of those you-love -him or hate-him people.

from blueapple :

Hello, dear, charmed to have been found and to find you in turn.

from marsist :

:-( I'm so very sorry. I'm a longtime cat owner and my heart really goes out to you. how lucky yours was to be so well loved.

from marsist :

don't worry about taking up space in my guestbook... but feel free to delete my entries in yours if you want... I won't be offended, it's just technical stuff :)

from marsist :

I did get your note :) thanks! I wouldn't be surprised if you garner a lot more readers soon; you're interesting.
