Oh phew. There's a husband in point #4. I was worried for a second there ...

Where's Josiah Bartlet when you need him? Even *he* would see this for the stupidhead idea it truly is.

Ha ha! This is your hobby horse today, is it? Bless. Enjoy yourself. :)

Deriding? Hardly. Merely an observation. Lighten up, eh?

Holy SHIT! Never watched the biblical family show — Collins will always be the 'hero' from that short-lived Indiana rip-off 'Tales Of The Gold Monkey' to me — but this is awful!

That's gold. Aussie accents are not the easiest — most who attempt it end up sound like New Zealanders — so that takes some doing. My question is ... WHY?!

Sweetie ... only sometime safe. The rest of the time: one has to adopt a very thick skin, sadly. Thinking of you.

Fun fact: it's also the water in which we wash our hair. There are some interesting little natural chemicals — courtesy of soil — which leech into our water supply, and it makes one's hair silky and fulsome and gorgeous. I kid you not. :)

It wouldn't be part of the Gawks family, if not ... ;)

Uh-huh. Yep. Thank god my parents were pro-elective dentistry. ;)

More lines than me and I'm rising 48. With no 'work', I hasten to add. ;)

Weird. Got de-grayed on Jez after six days of sporadic posts. Still waiting on Gawks though. :/

Only 'liking' because this deserves to be read. So bloody awful. Words fail me.

'.. including children ...'

Beautifully expressed. Thank you. :)

You're right, you're right: I know you're right.

That's the thing though: I have no issues with surgery being applied to cleft palates, horrific burn scars and the rest ... it's the taking of a perfectly good face and altering to fit a beauty 'norm' that makes me uncomfortable.

Aren't I just .... ha ha ... ;)

Pretty talk.

I'll take an interesting face with all its emotions and scars and weird eyebrows and acne scars and droopy jowls and thin or fat lips over a 'model' face anyday. Call that MY idea of beauty — if you like — but I'm fine with that. :)
