A couple of repeat offenders but that's all. Which was why I was wondering about the rash of PMs all of a sudden.

Just be careful of which creams you put on that rash.

Off to send Dampy a pervy PM.

I am having serious problems remembering what day of the week today is.

And is it just me, or does Last.FM only have the one Nothingface CD that I don't like in their database? I thought their first three CDs were perfect for what they were, and loved them. Their fourth CD was a shit-fest with maybe three songs that were on par with previous tracks. And yet that is the only CD that Last.FM is playing tracks from (and not even the good three tracks, the other shitty tracks ).

Presumably 'inspired' by Comicon, there's a certain debate about which characters might be good in a 'mash-up'.

MSN: "So which movie mash-up are MSN readers most keen to see?

Well, coming in at 1st place is Catwoman vs Wonder Woman. Could it have something to do with the copious amounts of latex which would be involved in the movie? Or maybe it's because people are eager to see Wonder Woman back on the big screen."

The thought of seeing Wonder Woman (then the delectable Linda Carter) is enough magic on it's own. I don't remember a single thing WW did, but I remember LC in wonderful detail.

Thank you St Winefride

Some time ago I visited St Winefride's Well in Holywell, Wales.

While there I washed my hands under a tap that supplied water from the Holy Well. The tap is on the left by the drainpipe:

For about 10 years I have suffered every summer from a recurrent rash on the back of my hands. I thought that water from St Winefride's Well might help.

Perhaps it did. But to help St Winefride, I began to use a different hand cream and apply Factor 50 sun block.

A miracle! My rash hasn't occurred this summer. Thank you, St Winefride.

As she was the head of a religious house, I think she was a practical woman. I think St Winefride would have appreciated the hand cream and Factor 50 as obvious aids. But without thinking about my rash - because of St Winefride - I wouldn't have 'cured' myself.

So - Thank you, St Winefride.

This house is so fucked... Every time I correct one dimension on one floor it fucks up a dimension on every other floor. I have tried starting from the bottom and working my way up, and after two days of corrections I am still finding major fuckups all over the place. How the fuck did everything get so fucked up?

I actually know the answer to that. It was completely redesigned behind my back, and when I was given the new plans everything was wrong and I haven't had opportunity until now to correct all of the fuckups that have been spiraling out of control for the last two years.

How many times do I have to tell Pandora that I don't like Mule?

Last night just before I was going to go to bed a bunch of cardboard boxes filled with other people's stuff collapsed under the weight of their contents. My family needs to get their shit out of my room.

And I need to clean up the garbage that is mine and throw it out...

Ordinary road tyres or some other kind?
They're damned expensive over here!

Morons, Drunks and Powerboats​

There is a special class of moron in the U.S.— the idiots who drink and drive powerboats. It takes a truly extraordinary idiot to get drunk and smash into a stationary object in the dark.





1 Body Found, 1 Person Missing In NY Boat Crash

by The Associated Press
July 28, 2013

PIERMONT, N.Y. (AP) — Brian Bond was disoriented from head trauma and in darkness when he awoke from unconsciousness soon after the speedboat he was in with his fiancee and four friends smashed into a construction barge on New York's Hudson River, hurling the bride-to-be and Bond's best man into the water.

Bond used his cellphone to call 911 late Friday night, and first responders relied on heat-seeking technology to locate the boat just south of the Tappan Zee Bridge, authorities said.

On Saturday, a woman's body matching the description of 30-year-old Lindsey Stewart was pulled from the water. Authorities haven't yet released a positive identification.

Stewart and Bond, friends since childhood, were to be married in two weeks, on Aug. 10.

Bond's best man, Mark Lennon, 30, remains missing and is presumed dead, authorities said. Emergency crews planned to continue their search for him Sunday.

Jojo John, who was operating the boat, was charged Saturday with vehicular manslaughter and three counts of vehicular assault from a hospital bed where he was recovering from his injuries in the crash, said Chief William Barbera of the Rockland County Sheriff's Office.

Authorities said they suspect the 35-year-old Nyack man was intoxicated at the time of the crash; they were awaiting the results of blood tests. Attempts to reach John's family were not immediately successful and it was not clear if he had an attorney.

Barbera declined to identify the other two people aboard the boat and had no information on their condition. The two and Bond also remained hospitalized Saturday night.

The group had left the village of Piermont for a short trip aboard the 21-foot Stingray across the river to Tarrytown, about 30 miles north of New York City, authorities said.

Stewart and Lennon were thrown from the boat when it struck a barge carrying materials for the construction of a replacement for the Tappan Zee Bridge, authorities said. Barbera said the barge was equipped with lights, but it was still difficult to see on the water late at night.

Stewart, of Piermont, worked for an insurance company. She and Bond were to be married at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Pearl River, with a reception at a vineyard in Hillburn, her stepfather Walter Kosik said.

The couple had known one another for years and used to go to church together, he said.

"They have been friends the whole time, and they fell in love about 3 ½ years ago," Kosik said.

Stewart's former English teacher at Pearl River High School, who remained in contact with her through Facebook, called the accident "heartbreaking."

"She was one of my students and a bright, sweet girl loved by everyone," said Doreen Arney. "I knew that she was getting married, and to Brian. To happen to two such special kids — it just shouldn't happen."

The New York State Thruway Authority, which is overseeing the bridge project, said it was reviewing safety procedures. It said the lighting on the barges appeared to be functioning normally.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during this difficult time," the authority said in a statement.

Remembering the 1960s

I have been sorting through some boxes of old paperwork.

I found a check list I wrote on 17th November 1985 that lists events in my life between 1st October 1962 and 28th February 1966. In 1985 I was intending to write an autobiography of that time because I was laid up with back pain, facing a couple of weeks of bed rest.

But I recovered within a couple of days and did nothing about the autobiography except make the list. Each item on the list, two or three words each, could be expanded to a 1000 words account of the incident - or more. Some of them I have already used as inspiration for some of my Lit stories.

There are over 100 items on the list. Should I tear it up, or transcribe it as it is and wait for NaNoWriMo?

But I'm not sure I remember all of them in detail. It won't be an accurate autobiography but edited (and improved) memories with names and places changed to protect the guilty. But aren't all autobiographies like that - fictionalized?

I'm dying inside. I keep finding more and more pieces to the hidden, sordid puzzle I am not really supposed to know about. Every day it gets harder to smile, to be the doting wife. So, while I don't even think she comes to this part of the forum, I'm calling this cheating, lying Playgrounder out, on the off chance she sees this, or on the off chance someone mentions this post. I hope everyone sees this, and I hope like hell I get messages asking who this home wrecking bitch is, because if given the first chance, I will lay all her shit bare, since she just can't seem to stay the fuck out of my relationship.

Gah, I can't concentrate long enough to get any real writing one! I'm setting a day aside to try and make some real progress, but so far nothing to show for it.

The knuckleheads obviously haven't thought about how stupid, idiotic and ridiculous those tattoos are going to look at age 50.

If you don't like that thread or the posts there, then why are you going there? And why are you posting about how you don't like it? Or why?

Why don't you just move on and stay out of the thread???

Darling, there are a lot of blokes who'll be only too pleased to teach you.

 

[PennLady]

Humph. After arriving home from the library with the PennKids, I locked my keys in the van. This is problematic b/c Mr. Penn needs to pick up our car, which is at the dealer, and he left all of his keys there. Sigh. Thankfully there's a shuttle.
