How on earth am I going to cope with her when she's a teenager. In one day, we've gone from her believing in Santa Clause, to us having a 30 minute heated discussion about magick, religion, pagan traditions, dishonesty, and trust.

Right now she has purple hair. Or, at least most of it is purple. It looks kind of cool, actually. And she knows every single word to the song "Kiss me through the phone" . . and this evening she wanted to know when I would show her how to use mascara.

She's growing up too fast for me. . .

:rose: *hugs*
 
Today's Blurt:

A contact through Genes Reunited has vastly increased my (real life) family tree.

On my maternal grandmother's line is an unusual surname that frequently occurs in Genes Reunited hot matches because it is so distinctive. However this contact has traced that surname back to a man who was born in the Kingdom of Navarre (now part of Spain) in 1250, dying in Essex in 1304. His descendants lived in Essex until my great-grandmother's generation moved to London in the mid 19th Century.

I don't mind being a tiny part Spanish, but Essex! The shame of it. I live, and my daughters were born, in Kent.

And there's more. My great-grandmother's older brother was convicted at the Old Bailey of stealing a pair of trousers and other lesser items. He could have been sentenced to death but the judge was merciful. He was transported to Tasmania for seven years. At the time of the trial he was 12 years old.

So now I'm related to Essex Girls AND a convict sent to Australia. :D

PS. For my friends across the pond. Kent and Essex are distinct counties that are rivals at many things. They consider themselves as different as Texas and California.

Ouch!

One of Jeanne's stories has 44 votes but a rating of 1.59

No wonder I'm King of the Last Place (tm) Contests...

There's something decidedly satisfying (and delicious) about being wanted so much that the after work greeting wasn't a hello kiss, but a hello followed by my pants being pulled off, being pushed down on the bed, and then thoroughly devoured.

Been there, done that, never got tired of it. ;)
 
I'm sick of this already. Being in chronic pain again sucks. :mad:

Dammit. I wish I knew anything about photo manipulation.

I don't think I really know how to be happy for other people anymore. I'm turning into such a jealous bastard.
 
For those of you interested in following tropical weather activity in the Atlantic and Caribbean here is what I consider the ultimate site. Crown Weather Service originated to help the Maine and New England fishermen, tropical systems have a way of moving north and reeking havoc amongst the fishermen.

WORD OF THE DAY:


Snarge

Etymology:
Portmanteau of snot and garbage

Noun
Singular

Definition:
The remains of a bird after it has collided with an airplane (bird strike), especially a turbine engine.

Usage Example:
2009 January 25, Matthew L. Wald, “Identifying the Bird After a Strike, When Not Much Bird Is Left”, New York Times:
"Arriving mostly in sealed plastic bags, these included birds’ feet, whole feathers or tiny bits of down, and pulverized bird guts, known as snarge..."


From Wikipedia
:
The force of the impact on an aircraft depends on the weight of the animal and the speed difference and direction at the impact. The energy of the impact increases with the square of the speed difference. Hence a low-speed impact of a small bird on a car windshield causes relatively little damage. High speed impacts, as with jet aircraft, can cause considerable damage and even catastrophic failure to the vehicle. The energy of a 5 kg (11 lb) bird moving at a relative velocity of 275 km/h (171 mph) approximately equals the energy of a 100 kg (220 lb) weight dropped from a height of 15 metres (49 ft).
 
That's the most politically incorrect birthday card I've ever written, and it's funny as hell.

I'm wondering which circle I'll end up in.
