I am easily amused [or I would have to be crying a lot ... I tend to deal with a lot of chronic pain, so I fight it with humor] though my Grandmother was the same, mistaking words for different ones [spoonerisms? is that the term? I hate reading this on my tablet, hard to flip to a different tab to google something…

So all the potholes and broken sidewalks in Florida and Southern California are from the amazingly harsh winters .... I never knew that!!!11!eleveny!!1!

Our roommate says she doesn't consider pizza a meal - back when she was young in the 60s you bought a single slice rather than the entire pie so you would have the slice, then go home and have dinner. <shrug> I have seen her eat 3 or 4 slices and then go rummage in the fridge asking what was going to be for dinner.…

Wonderful ... with my current ill health it would probably kill me this time around! Though with the old school mandatory vaccinations in NY state back in the later 60s and early 70s [when they lined everybody up in the school gym and gave everybody shots] probably vaccinated me for it finally. I do remember the pink…

ROFL [though I admit I am baffled by people who seem to think that because I am in a wheelchair I am either stupid or deaf, either they shout at me, talk real slow or talk to my husband or whomever I am with.]

Same way/reason those little silicon dry packs have to now be labeled 'dessicant - not food' or whatever it is written on them.

Only time the whole something in the food ever happened to me was an entire peppermint candy making it through the mix and churn phase of ice cream making. I thought it was an unexpected bonus, personally =)

I almost didn't survive whooping cough as a 2 year old [back in 1963, not even sure if the vaccine existed back then for it] and it fucked up my lungs for 10 years after - any time I got any sort of respiratory infection it would roll into pneumonia. I have lots of memories of winters spent in hospital ... those…

Works for me, but then again back when I played Everquest 1 I had a minor character that played a druid that never killed a wolf in 50 levels. Kudos to him, they should make his character some sort of specialty NPC in the future. - or perhaps come up with some way to grant him neutrality and the ability to leave the…

Born in 1961, oh my god ugly hawaii floral print dress, and her name written on the back of my hand in indellible marker.

I have to confess that I am still using the chemex my mom got for a wedding present in 1949 ... though the wooden sleeve is new[about 7 years old] it still makes the best damned coffee =)

Ridiculous my fat ass ... they don't do it to asphalt because we have asphault roads over the country. Change it up to something new and different, and the vandals will head over to screw with it. General people won't become vandals, but those who are already vandals will come out to play. Why do you think that 30…

I hate to mention that there are pantyhose that don't have the funky knit in different colored part, they are the same nude color from toetips to waistband. http://thestylishfox.com/sheer-pantyhos…

Pinterest ... Apartment Therapy, Craftgawker ... it is all in the blogs!

My husband and I have been married since 1991 [I was 30 and he was 27. Damn time flies!] In that entire time, we have *not* had a room mate of some sort for perhaps a total of a year ... we live out in the country where the house is moderately isolated, and he was active duty Navy on a submarine and gone for periods…

Because I might shove a couple kilos of c4 into the frame of my chair, and hide some blasting caps, and use my watch to make the timer ... If I roll my eyes any harder I could see the back of my skull. Being a pasty white 53 year old disabled female in a wheelchair, I am obviously a high security risk.

So how many outfits of regular clothes did you have? Did you wear the same clothes every day?

No, it was the stockholders demanding higher and higher returns on investment that made companies outsource. I suppose you could blame the US Government, for enforcing a minimum wage ... after all, shouldn't you work for $2.50 an hour? If you really wanted to work you would adjust your standard of living *down* so you…

Totally non-union female. Only time I belonged to a union they screwed me over repeatedly for almost 7 years. I will *never* belong to a union again.

Good use of Soylent Green image! We are quickly becoming that exact type of disfunctional society - with the vast majority of people holding on by their fingernails while a few live in luxury. If you read Norman Spinrad's Little Heroes, you see yet another example of a disfunctional society where the mass of people…
