I’m certainly not going to say I felt cheated. I suppose our feeling of horror is supposed occur when we “imagine” what might have happened. I don't want to use my imagination like that tonight.

When a motorist holding a phone is coming my way or near me, my sphincter grips up like a heart attack.

I'm beginning to wonder if men aren't more attuned to dick images than women. Screw you and your penis envy Freud. A dick would probably have to slap me in the face before I'd see it.

Have you talked to some gals who have had this procedure? Surely they must numb some parts of you that might experience pain. Maybe call the clinic and have a conversation with some of the nurses. They seem to enjoy sharing, and if there is going to be any suffering, THEY are going to see/hear about it. Good luck. I…

Just waiting for Mark's title to keep its promise made me hold my breath until I was nearly on the floor.

Especially when the employees are the ones indulging........

When you find it, can you let me know?:)

We've had some really awful disasters at our yearly State Fair. But I really don't want to detail. It must be very traumatic for the people who immediately witness a fatal event. I don't get on "rides" anymore for this very reason (I might be considered paranoid). If I want to do something daring, I'll pass on the…

I'd like to follow up on that. I'm getting a lot of feedback about last night's discussion, and clearly I was a complete fail at expressing and making clear my intent. I don't think that any of us want to alienate others with harsh or confusing rhetoric. Its been a while since I've had the chance to have dialogues…

Oh dear. my reply disappeared. Now I'm afraid it will appear twice. You are far too kind. Brilliance is something I could only hope to aspire to (and even then). I'm having to re-read a lot of my comments from last night. Some contained rhetoric that I have to seriously reconsider now. For instance, my judgement about…

No. I thought your answer was kind-hearted and encouraging. From the feedback I'm getting, I must have gone off the rails a bit last night. I'm just very fortunate that everyone is so forgiving.

That is way too kind. I can get very passionate about some things, I admit — to my own disadvantage. I won't insist you made any kind of error. I'm still learning how to communicate with intelligent folks online. I would LOVE to be graceful, and appreciate critiques:)

I'm a bit confused myself. But I hope I wasn't being aggressive or harsh. I think that I was trying to broaden the theme a bit more, by directing pointed criticism away from Afleck and toward the Hollywood Machine without sounding like a dick. The trophy thing was aimed at Affleck, yes. People are confused about me?…

Yes, I'm getting the distinct feeling that I didn't work out my rhetoric, intent, and delivery very clearly. Thanks for the honest critique.

Note to all adventurous readers and writers: Obscure has introduced a lovely new word -Arcanity- to the English language. I like the way it slips off the tounge. BTW, if it is already an accepted word, great, my boo boo. I'll be in my Cave reading old manuscripts by candle-light and cooking up my daily gruel:)

If you are referring to my feelings about female independence and birth control, I don't see where confabulation (not sure what you mean here) is an issue. Birth Control and female agency have nearly always been part of a Feminist agenda, and it should be. I'm sorry if I offended, but...there it is.

Sorry . I would NEVER want to offend a Brit. We Yanks can be a bit harsh, can't we? That comment I made didn't sound very friendly or inviting did it? I'd had a pretty nasty and painful day, and although I try not to let it affect my thinking, I admit to having a few "hot button" issues ("bad actors," other assorted…

Empowerment yes. The best part. So many gals take it even if they aren't in a relationship or even predict a good "hook up." I couldn't stand taking something every day for pretty much for some else's convenience. Of course I would go with the dia., but that doesn't seem to be very popular here. I had no idea it was…

That OK . My face isn't "shitted," but I will answer when I'm asked.

Yes. I thought it was surprisingly good. But then again, it takes a TEAM to make a film. Some of us are, according to the 'world', failures . But maybe we acheive something notable in our lifetimes. If you take acception to my criticism I apologize, but we can't all get a trophy for just being there:)
