Isolated Blurt Thread

I think Minsue already answered your question, but I'll also add they took their son to be baptized. Tradition, family, roots; those are some powerful motivators.

And frankly, Zeb, NYC could be considered a war zone. Who knows when and where the next attack will be? What about Belfast? What about the Basque movement? What about Columbine, or Hometown, USA?

I'll admit that the last time I was in New York it did look like a war zone, burnt out hulks lined the road way and such.

But...

with the exception of Belfast, none of the cities mentioned have BEEN a real war zone for the last 20 years. And as far as Belfast, I wouldn't be dragging my family there either.

Yes family can be a strong motivator and I do feel for those caught with their proverbal pants down. In my opinion, it was still poor judgement.

I want one soooo bad, so every time I take a bath I get one and leave it in until my scalp starts to itch because of the shampoo.

If I ever find a way to give myself bath tub dreads, I'll be happy.

POUNCE!
Hiya, there, youngster! (You probably can't stand that I can't quite get over how young you are and always refer to it. It's not the youth but the fact that you are wise beyond your years that draws me to you. You'll just have to put up with my admiration for a cute young gal with moxie and smarts.)

OK, gotta go gape at McKenna's av some more. Ciao!

I've just been told I look 'different'. Wonder why...

Hey there, sweets. It's fine to keep reminding me how young I am, the boy does it all the time; since he's 9 years older than me. In fact, I now answer to "kiddo".

(Actually, I'm really loving the attention I get from you. You're an ego booster)

Dude... Get it through your thick skull. Sweet potatoes are fuckin nasty. So are cooked pineapples. Putting the two together and putting it in front of my face WILL NOT enhance my appetite.

right - - i'm going to bed to dream of whatever it is I dream of

Sounds rather appetising to me.

Possibly not with the pineapples - not a combination I like either - but Gloria Naylor offers the most convincing possible description of how to teach someone to enjoy sweet potato pie.

 

[MaeveoSliabh]

Goosey got it. eeeewwww...

After being forced to choke down the sweet potato casserole (you know, the one smothered in brown sugar syrup and marshmallows) FOUR TIMES A YEAR for the first 18 years of my life, sweet potatoes are just evil. Cooked pineapple makes me sick to my stomach.

Not appetizing.

(Unrelated.)

Urgh. My head hurts. It took two hours for you to make your damned points, and it's taken me three days and nineteen pages to identify and answer all of the fallacious ones.

Just as a thought, have you ever considered the possibility that the fact that little green men from Mars could have landed secretly at night and spirited privileged documents in and out of Yuma, Paris, and the Marianas Trench is not actually a reason to argue that they did and that I must provide authoritative proof that they didn't?

If the female tribe were to adopt a motto, it might be this:

WHAT ABOUT ME???




Edited to add: This post may be subject to misinterpretation. Let me be explicit:

A woman in a relationship with a man says, "I have made endless sacrafices, compromises and exertions for you, and put your concerns and priorities ahead of my own an infinite number of times, now WHAT ABOUT ME?!"

I have witnessed this lament so many times in my life . . .


I am not pointing any fingers, gentlemen. Just a general observation.
