The Isolated Blurt BDSM Thread

[Sir_Winston54]

Not me. As odd as it might sound for someone with my sweet tooth to say this, but I'd rather not eat than have s'mores. I was a girl scout for ten years, if I never see another s'more it'll be too soon.

So, in continuation of full moon month:

My mom's work fired her three days after she buried her mom. They said it was her phone manner, which is bullshit. I think they fired her cause she missed so much work while grandma was dying and for her funeral and stuff. Assholes. My sisters best friend was electrocuted and has burns over 3/4 of his body. He's in the burn unit and will probably be there for the next 8 to 12 months - if he survives (outlook is good, he's responding well to treatment). My father in law had a minor stroke three days ago. And one of my heart kids has moved in with me for the foreseeable future (the one who's mom got MRSA) because his dad lost his job which means his dad can't afford his pot which means his dad is being abusive and it will only get worse the longer he goes drugless. This means I now have 8 people in a 3 bedroom, 900 sq ft house. I don't mind T being here, in fact I prefer him here where I know he's safe, but things are getting a bit crowded!

Either way - if you're praying for patience for me, PLEASE STOP!!! Otherwise, keep praying/thinking good thoughts for me, please. Thank you.

Good thoughts - for fortitude and improved circumstances rather than patience - being beamed your way from the new and improved Gracie antenna.

Ha, no.

Someone else did, though. A popular food blogger made cabbage casserole and added carrots and some herbs to it that aren't traditionally used there, and used maple syrup instead of golden syrup. People in the comment section are going crazy. "No wonder you're single" was uttered.

And she used olive oil, too, which is clearly a sign of being a hipster douchebag, because OLIVES DON'T EVEN GROW HERE AND IT'S SO MUCH CHEAPER TO USE CANOLA OIL!

Oh, and she used 300g of minced beef - here you can get mince pre-packaged in 250g and 400g portions. Naturally someone got their panties twisted because of this, because would have been so much kinder towards the readers to write a recipe for either (the pre-packaged) 250g or 400g.

Ah, people.

Hahaha that is hilarious!!! It's funny how some people treat recipes like law, like the cops will come if you have a bit less mince to your meal or something. Although this talk of golden syrup with cabbage casserole scares me a bit. My default cabbage casserole is bigos (Polish dish, I'm half Polish) and my mother would literally think I was going insane if I considered adding anything sweet to it.

I am once again a princess of procrastination. I've been sitting here perusing Lit for the last hour when I should be getting my ass down to Playcentre to sticker, cover and catalogue books. I started yesterday but it's a massive job and it's got to be done by the end of next week as I'm handing over the librarian role to someone else. It serves me right coz if I'd kept on top of all of it over the past two years I wouldn't be in this mess. Although I've pre-made lasagne for dinner so we won't have to pick up fish and chips on the way home coz we lost track of time, so I guess I have learnt something from all this!

Huh, what?

Dad says Pekin high school mishandling mixup
Pekin staff thought mints might be illegal drugs

The father of a Pekin Community High School student says his son was unfairly suspended from school Wednesday along with three friends for eating energy mints that school staff suspected at the time might be illegal drugs.

Jason McMichael said his 17-year-old son has never been in trouble before, but the boy was suspended from school Thursday and Friday and barred from attending the weekend's homecoming festivities after school personnel found the four students eating chewable energy mint tablets in school Wednesday afternoon. The mints contain caffeine and other ingredients typically found in standard energy drinks.

McMichael said he received a call that afternoon from the dean's office and was told his son and some other students had been caught eating the mints, which look like unmarked pills, which staff thought could be illegal drugs.

_+_+_+_+_

The next afternoon, McMichael said that somebody from the school called to say the teens' story had been verified, but that the suspensions still were being upheld for gross misconduct for taking an unknown product, though McMichael said the school officials admitted to him that the teens had fully cooperated when confronted about the mints.

McMichael said his son is being punished just because the school staff could not identify an energy mint, though there is nothing wrong with having energy drinks on campus.​

+_+_+_+_+

Huh, what? Part Two

Use of running for sports discipline questioned
One Iowa athletics official says it's time for schools to change ways.

The well-worn practice of coaches ordering extra running as punishment for bad behavior or poor performance may soon fade from Iowa’s high school athletic fields and courts.

The disciplinary practice may face new scrutiny after an investigative report made public Thursday stated that the Des Moines school district believes that a coach who makes an athlete run at practice could be guilty of inflicting corporal punishment on the student.

The report examined actions by suspended Des Moines Lincoln High School football coach Tom Mihalovich, who is accused of violating school bullying and corporal punishment policies. Among Mihalovich’s offenses, according to the report: requiring a sophomore player to run sprints and laps as punishment for making derogatory comments about the school’s varsity squad.

Extra running has long been the punishment of choice for players who step out of line. But Iowa athletic directors and officials contacted by The Des Moines Register on Friday say that times are changing.​

I.don't.get.it. Neither of these articles. I'm really grateful I was raised in an age and an environment that would have laughed these school administrators not out of the schools, but out of the freakin' country.

And get off of my lawn!

Oh, I love, love, love bigos! I was in Warszawa for 4 months and a bit last year and even before that (and after that) I've been a regular visitor for years. I still remember I had bigos for the first time. My friend's grandmom made it for November 11th in 2005 and after that, I've never had better bigos.

Bigos, pierogi, flaczki, zurek, barszcz (czerwony, not a fan of bialy), rosol... Oh, and paczki, and Wuzetki in Warsaw! Omnomnom.

I don't understand americans and their obsession with politics. I have met a few americans in the last couple of weeks and they don't want to talk about their holiday or what they have seen while on holiday but would rather discuss american politics.

Thankfully I have had a very good teacher so I can discuss it and almost sound intelligent but really I would prefer to discuss the Great Barrier Reef or Kangaroos.

Back home we'd have sucked it up and gone in the next weekend or two, frozen ourselves silly and had a blast. But where we've relocated to we don't dare try that. Weather is calling for snow today, not tonight, toDAY. (Not in our immediate region, but in the area code and that's plenty close enough).

It did get pretty cold. That's why I heeded your advice about campfire drinking.

Yeah, about 40 years ago (when I was young and dumber than I am now), I more than once *did* go camping in temps like this, several times in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge (SW Oklahoma). On one occasion, we built a campfire on a large piece of granite (~ 25' in diameter) that had a dip in the middle - perfect place for the fire - and slept surrounding the fire.

When I woke up around 2-3 a.m. and saw an approximately 1,200 pound American bison standing in a gap in our circle around the fire, and then saw him turn around to warm up the *other* side, I decided that camping in the kind of weather that made buffalo seek out a campfire to get warm was not really quite my cup o' tea.

No wonder he was cold! In the buffalo temperature seems even colder!!

Reading this reminds me why I have decided to re-define camping. It's staying in a motel that provides cheap coffee in the room and no chocolates on the pillow at night.

I had cheap coffee. No chocolates. They featured bear scat, though. I declined.

You and I should totally go glamping, with feather pillows, down blankies, silk sheets, and a chef.

*nods*

Hilton National Recreation Area?

Running home through a rain storm was actually surprisingly nice but I think I'll stay here under my blanket, thank you.

Know what I like post-rainstorm? Coffee and a scalding shower.

Yippeeee! Count me in, guys! I think that when I grow up, (read: and have no resposibilities except for myself) I'm going to build a treehouse somewhere on the side of a mountain, and just

be...

I see a caravan in your future.

Ohh ohh, ME TOO?! Please?! Wait, do we have to grow up as part of the deal? I would rather grow down into a more hedonistic version of life if its all the same to you. One that requires less shoes and has more time. *sigh*

I see a caravan in your future.

There's nothing like sleeping in tree in a hammock high above the forest floor. When the sun goes down and the wind picks up and rocks the tree...almost as good as the s'mores.

Damn. This is chimp stuff. I don't think I'd have the balls for this. I toss and turn, and I'd end up impaled on a snag.

I'm down for this. Screw actual camping. I grew up in the middle of nowhere and left for a freaking reason.

I think "screw camping" is the best kind.

I like the best of both worlds

Plushy hote.s and grass roots camping.

Funnily enough, I don't see much appeal in caravans or motor home type contraptions.

Yeah. I don't get it. A lot of work and expense. I go to the woods to escape work and expense. Although those little retro airstreams are pretty sweet.

I am so sorry, graceanne. I really am. No s'mores for you, and good thoughts instead.

I think it's just that we're approaching a presidential election here.

Nope...no caravan,

I'm working on a geodesic dome-treehouse right now.

I've only spent a half day in Warszawa which was not nearly enough, but I have spent a lot of time in Silesia were my family is from. I ate pierogi somewhere new everyday and was quite the expert by the time we left. I love rosol, especially with klusk slaskie (dumplings) on the side mmmmm. My mother's not a huge fan of flaczki or barszcz so she never taught me how to make it and rye flour is near impossible to find here so we rarely have zurek. Don't even get me started on how good the sweets are....

I don't get that either. Part of the fun of going on holiday are the awesome conversation starters and photos you get to share!

On mildly related note: I don't get why Kiwi's AREN'T interested in politics. I don't mean American politics coz you'd need SKY and a Listener subscription to keep up with that but I lot of people I talk to seem to know so little about anything happening at the moment. They just don't care at all. Tons of people don't even know who the leader of the opposition is. It's starting to look the the smiling assassin may just win himself another term. Goddamned political apathy bringing me down.....

 

[seela]

Don't even get me started on how good the sweets are....

Ah, krowki and Wedel's cherry chocolate and Wawe's chestnut chocolate...

I've spent some time in Cieszyn and visited Wroclaw and Katowice. I don't know much about Silesia, unfortunately.

Jounar is usually surprised by my lack of desire to talk politics, though he did wrangle it out of me a few times. Especially when I went over the first time, and Obama was duking it out with Bush.

*Shrug*

 

[o_so_wet]

WTF dog waking me up at 4:30 to poop ! But anyway...I got a chance to lurk around here and I came across some of your posts. Dude....what a crock of shit ! Who the hell are you trying to impress ?

You mean McCain, right?



I think it's like certain sports, or other activities. You either care wildly, or it just doesn't interest you. Call it the political fetish. And the busier you are, the fewer things you can care wildly about.

 

[CurvAppeal]

ohhh how breakups kill. though i do like looking back and being able to say i made it and turned out so much stronger.

also, check out this song.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2mVfpDHr9k
thats been stuck in my head all damn day.

time to hit the hay soon. gnight all!!

yeah.

I didn't really care for either choice, which is why i wasn't hugely interested, much like this year. Picking the one you dislike the least just doesn't seem like any choice at all to me.

 

[cfuhrer]

Why yes, I did just vacume seal blocks of ice.
Doesn't everybody?

 

[midwestyankee]

yeah.

Since you don't really care all that much, you'd make a lot of your Lit friends happy if you vote for President Obama. Besides, I think on the inside he's a closet Dom.

Last night I had one of those random memory recall thingies that happens now and then. I literally lol'd.

The memory?

This was at least 25- 30 years ago. I was on a bus. It was fairly crowded and new passengers had to take a moment to find their seats. At one stop, a fellow got on who was overtly effeminate. He was carrying an umbrella and walking very slowly as he looked for a seat.

Finally the bus driver yelled out, "Take a seat, fairy princess!"

The fellow stops and the bus, but for a few sniggers, goes silent. I felt terrible for the poor guy.

In a swift, graceful motion, the fellow spins around, marches back up to the bus driver and raises his umbrella over his head. An audible gasp ripples through the bus - is this guy going to attack the driver? He brings the umbrella down on the driver's shoulder with a gentle tap and says, "POOF! You're a bag of shit!", then sashays back to his seat.

The bus broke out into laughter. Score one for the underdog.

Oh I love this! Thank you for that.

I just got back from an appointment with a young, rather large bellied real estate agent, who doesn't actually really have a house of his own - lives in with his in-laws - doesn't have an office, and doesn't... own a bike (this is holland, who doesn't own a bike???). We ended up liking him.

Fuck my life.

I'm going to get drunk all by myself.

I don't even care anymore.

The Zombie Political Party. That has a certain ring to it.

My blurt -- I'm going to KILL my husband. THAT WILL TEACH HIM!

It isn't just near election time though. It's very strange.

On a side note, make sure you kill him slowly.

I don't understand it, either.

Speak to me of the Great Barrier Reef any day.

Of what Kangaroo Pizza tastes like

I don't get that either. Part of the fun of going on holiday are the awesome conversation starters and photos you get to share!

Kiwi's don't like liars and since politicians lie it means that we can't be bothered

Actually it's not illegal not to vote here but what I have found is that kiwis are really only interested in things that directly concern them. Funny really because NZ was the first country to give women the right to vote.

I have only voted once in my life because I don't have kids, earn a low income, have a student loan or need ongoing public medical treatment. I have private health insurance and am not dumb enough to vote for them on the promise of tax cuts because I know that just means costs will go up elsewhere and I will not be better off. There is nothing a political party has offered me to make me actually want to take time out of a day to actually vote for them.

I am definitly not stereotyping, it just seemed strange to me.
