It's so cute you think you're smarter than me!

I am sorry to inform you that Talk Sex Sue did, indeed lie to you.
And whaddaya mean she TAUGHT you?
Did she show you a diagram?
She gives lessons?

And congrats for being the only one to notice the "intimacy kit".
I thought that was the best part.
We almost bought it just to find out what was inside!

And make love to what present?
Did you buy someone an inflatable girl?

Oh and didja notice the makeup kit is $26????

Whatta buncha suckers!

Nope. I have a dog. I also live 4 doors up the road from a dairy farm and 7 doors down the road from my family veggie farm, so I smell cow shit and corn all summer! It's great.

I don't know who Matt is, but if you'd like him to come home, you need to get your fellow Americans to get rid of George the Dunderhead. Good luck.

My stupid Prime Minister has decided to let our troops go over to Afganistan to get killed along with the Americans and Brits. War is stupid.

Heh heh. A cuddle puddle. That sounds like something off of Cute Overload. They use loads of terms like "muzzlepuff" and other cuteness monikers. The pictures on there are enough to reduce even the most hardened soul to a heap of ooey gooey lovin'. For example:

That sounds horrid!!! I hope the shots and drugs are working!!

Yes, go to the emergency room. I knew someone who didn't have insurance, went to the ER and gave a fake name and address. I know that's crappy advice, but don't let not having insurance put your health at risk, it's not worth it. You should really not put it off any longer.

Good luck!

Poison sumac?! No more nature for you little missy!!
mmmmm.....pie *is* good! Anything with a flaky crust is good in my book!
hmmmm.....so how long have you been a porn star?

Ivy. Sumac. Oak. Looking all innocuous. Poisonous bitches!

I hope you find a time machine that can zap you into the future, after you're all healed.

I can't tell you how badly I feel for you in your poison ivy hell. Nature is a bitch! Stories like yours are typical of why the health care system needs fixing, though.

As for tidiness, I'm not so fussy about being tidy if it's my mess, but other people's mess tends to irritate a bit more. I wish it weren't that way. Dusting is about the only thing I don't do very regularly. At work, I'm very vocal about cleanliness because people can be slobs.

Poison ivy sucks. Maybe the peroxide is a good thing. I've had some success with using a simple, lye-based soap and leaving the lather slathered all over it.

It's been a few years since I caught any poison ivy, and have since discovered various clay mud masks, designed from cleaning one's pores. Have used this on insect and spider bites, and this herbal clay mud mask stuff really pulls out a lot of the toxins, just like some hillbilly poultice, or the old folk remedy of spiderwebs, dirt and spittle applied to the thing.

Gotta feel for you about this business. I've had both eyes swollen shut with it. Once I inadvertantly sat down in some poison sumac, and got it all over the insides of my thighs, scrotum, all in there.

***************************************
Your question: cannot abide other people leaving their messes in my space, or taking my shit without asking, or cleaning up my messes left in my own space.

Poor dear. I had a heat rash on my butt and I thought I had come down with The Cancer. But you are suffering far worse. I'm assuming you don't have access to a doctor....

Poison ivy, ew!! We dont have that in the UK but I have heard all about it. How long does the rash normally last? I hope your skin is back to normal soon.

I hope all went well with your photoshoot.

I'm glad you answered # 6 in my blog the way you did, I was starting to feel like a freak.

Are the dogs maybe trying to decide who will be the Alpha? Bloody fights are no good!!
My dog gets really jealous of my cat even though I try to give them equal attention. He sometimes lunges at her when she comes in my bedroom at night, but he never actually bites her or anything and now she knows that so she's not too worried by it, but I still don't like it.

38. almost always either a cat or a gypsy

Um, not "EW, YUCK", but that's all I'm gonna say on that one...

I don't know about my weirdest dream, but every night since I was fired (and I was HAPPY to be fired) I've dreamt that I was back at work saying "but you fired me -you can't make me work - I can go home if I want", and Corpho always says "sshhhh! You can't go home - just stay here and shut up!".
Or my ex- asholemotherfuckerliershiteating boss says "You didn't quit - keep working".
And I'm stuck there!
I have a variation of this dream EVERY NIGHT!!!!
I am not kidding!
I was fired in March and it was such a relief, but I keep having these dreams.
I can't figure it out.

And just who is this "Prof A"????
I had a "Mr A" reteach me algebra 2 years ago, but he wasn't trying to get into my pants...

No it isn't.
Well, I guess it depends.
But that's ALL I'm saying about it starting



NOW!

Yes, but only one....

I briefly bartended at an Elk's lodge.
But my first job was at McDonald's. When I turned 15 1/2 I went all over town applying for jobs and McDonald's were the first ones to call. 31 Flavors called a week later, but it was too late.

My full time job dicked me right out the door!
I used to work with Corpho.
She got a raise.
But the funny part is that I was gonna quit, and this way I end up getting unemployment!

Seriously though, as Kiska can tell you, I'm a good listener (reader) and advice giver if you ever wanna message me about stuff.
I also like getting all up in people's business.

But you don't have to obviously.

No, I'm the only one commenting!

HEROES? Shit, I'm always tiresomely pontificating about all kinds of shit, have been totally overwrought, all but losing it lately, BUT I think the whole idea of a hero is problematic.

on the good side: a hero might be an inspiration, a beacon of courage or strength or determination, to a point.

on the bad side: we human beings are always identifying with things, and nothing is to stop children or grownups from emulating a hero, suddenly thinking the hero has it all figured out, holding ourselves up for comparison to the hero, and no good can come from the comparison, or from abandoning our own judgment.

Heroes are only human, and usually they never asked to be heroes. So for those who are heroes, it's an oppressive experience. Those who get off on being heroes are probably a little sick, a little ego-obsessed. These latter types probably make the same kind of mistake the hero worshipper makes, by allowing his ego to be stroked by someone's imaginary vision of what the hero is.

Because heroes are only human, their flaws can be a shock, can be completely devastating to the hero worshipper.

HEROES ARE FALSE IDOLS, unless you can keep them in the context of just being some interesting, remarkable person who may or may not provide inspiration.

Congrats on the new pup. Maybe a dog is a good hero. My dog shows unconditional love and huge sensitivity for people; dogs aren't really capable of "evil," they're just completely who they are. We people are all screwed up because we have to figure out who we are.

To bad about the fucked up work situation. You will probably continue to see how screwed up people are, how little most people have any clue, how much people all secretly suffer but blame other people. Your manager types are usually clueless to start with, and when they're the type who gets off on playing little games of favoritism or wanting to have their ass kissed, then it really sucks.

At least you're still in school and probably don't have any reason to depend on these goofballs long-term. In the end, I guess, it never helps to depend on anyone, because it gets in the way of our being who we are, and it's a funny position for the person that someone tries to depend on, really kind of oppressive to the person with the obligation. Of course there are those pseudo-martyr types, who enjoy feeling put upon, who enjoy the idea that they're so important and everyone else so clueless, helpless, ungrateful, what have you.

Sometimes I can smell people like this from a distance. That's a benefit of having a dog for a hero, and emulating the dog in a positive way by cultivating a more acute sense of smell. In the right perspective, heroes can be OK.
