  • what if the kids don't leave?

    I really can't relate to the LW's life. It's very different than my own. But I'm with Cary: Don't date if that is what you want. LW seems quite happy with the life she has now.

    But some posters mentioned that the kids will leave soon. I thought the current trend was that the kids don't leave or that they come back and stay back. Does anyone remember that 30 year old son who lived with mom and refused to help out with expenses but mom needed to save for retirement?

    If the kids never leave does she keep watching Hitchcock movies together or do they eventually do grown up things together? Like ordering one too many bottles of wine at dinner? And if they did, would it be okay?

    Six year olds sexed up to look 22 are creepy. And then they mysteriously die.

    Why would parents do this to their children? It's just plain creepy.

    Daisy can flip coins for the talent portion of the creep show.

    Welcome to the Fatosphere:

    This blog is about fat and whatever else I feel like. I am a happy, healthy fat person with a little chip on my shoulder about our society's attitude towards fat. I also happen to be a liberal, and I am irritated by liberals who have an irrational hatred of fat people. Being fat does NOT make you a spokesmodel for the megaconsumerist bigger-is-better mentality that liberals love to hate. Surprise -- you can live an active, environmentally conscious life and leave a 'small footprint' even if you have a 'big ass'!

    I wonder if this person paid two fares or is just spilling into my seat on the bus/airplane on my dime.

    I don't watch Around the Horn but I read his column in the Sun Times. He's an asshole but sometimes I think it's funny how much he can get get his panties in a bunch over a whole lot of nothing. Maybe he should just wear a thong and chill the fuck out.

    "It makes even more sense to watch a sport if you also play that sport yourself. But buying an entire wardrobe and painting your face based on one particular company's product is illogical."

    Not surprisingly, I don't make sense: I watch sports but I don't play sports. I'm facinated that people get stuff thrown at them and the people go toward the hurled object . I would run the other away and take cover. I think hockey is the most over all athletic sport I've witnessed though I have a very difficult time keeping up with the game. Icing? Again? And I admit I like the fighting. I did take some mixed martial arts that included boxing though and apreciate an arm bar or guillotine on UFC or a split cross upper that lands.

    But I won't watch Dancing with the Stars or So You Think You Can Dance, after 20 plus years of dance training and a short career.

    As far as buying a wardrobe: Blackhawks hats are free for the St. Pats game or if you sign up for a credit card at the stadium. Keeps more money to the beer budget.

  • It was because of those movies in highschool

    I cheated last night when I drove five miles over the speed limit to pick up chinese food for dinner.

    I cheated again when I ILLEGALLY parked in front of a fire hydrant (oh my! the children!)since I was just going to run in really quick.

    I cheated again by driving five over the speed limit to the liquor store. The clerk cheated by not carding me despite signs posted everywhere that they would card your grandmother.

    I cheated again when I hit the gas at the yellow light to make it through the intersection. I saw the rapid flashing lights in the rear view mirror. I got caught cheating. I'll get a ticket in the mail and a website where the picture of me running the redlight proves I cheated.

    I will pay the fine. The incident will be over.

    I will continue to drive. And cheat in all the little ways everyone else does.

    Lynx will call me a cheater for the rest of life.

    Was it worth it?

    Can Tom Brady eat fortune cookies in my bed?

    I purposefully drove over the speed limit. We all do. It's not an in the moment thing. We do it to get away with it. I don't know anyone that got caught speeding that stopped speeding because they got caught. Maybe they got a Radar to cheat better. Or took different roads.

    But what there to gain by cheating? Well, Tom Brady eating fortune cookies in my bed is worth paying the fine, taking the class, bribing the cop. Whatever. Just move on.

    Hi visitors! Please leave you sand in the tub of petroleum jelly by the door. And remove your shoes.

    I know it doesn't really matter, but the ref is Mike Carey (or Cary). For future reference.

    I also agree with you about the Mannings goat prostitution ring. I don't think I would be so depressed today if it wasn't a Manning that beat Brady.

    Didn't Eli & his family have a tantrum when the Chargers picked Eli first?
