Thanks, its just surprising because im up 20 lbs in 6 months. crazy! Admittingly I am had gotten a wee bit underweight....mom claims she was just teasing me, but i know theres a mild amount of body snarking in our family. nothing terrible, but its there so i can only be conscious when i have kids on my own to be…

Thanks for letting me know! I dont' know why its not letting me edit...i'll keep that in mind in the future!

I got a book on farming 101—-but i know 99% of whats in there already it seems.... Still, im sure I'll find the 1% useful. Too bad it doesn't have much on pigs or sheep...just how to kill them and cut them up. Also got $50 which went to savings and the BF spoiled me with tools for my jewelry business. oh yeah, and a…

Ha! My mom just told me tonight she thinks im still putting on weight. oh wait, I just weight myself at a ...fuck.

My grandma soberly fell off the platform in Poland. Actually, she missed her stop and decided to jump off the train and missed the platform...which is pretty ballsy for a lady in her early 80's.

Ahj, I remember being given an nice bag of frankincense by a shopkeeper who gave us tea and was hitting on my mom (jokingly. I mean, shes great and all, but maybe not 600 camels great). But my dumbbutt sister took it all for herself. And now I find otu she took a diwnding resource and didn't share?! bitch. I'm gonna…

screw stilly stuff like honey, ever tried witchhazel for your pores? I use the alchohol free one and it does me good, but friend with oily skin uses the alchohol formula and says her skin has never been clearer.

ha! don't you love tiny labia majora back by massive labia minora? no? okay, i guess i'll keep the fuzz then.

See, I'm a nude art model sometimes and in the art model world bush is desired in most cases. I keep mine trimmed, but it stays. I shaved for a job once that was supposed to look like greek statues...horrible, horrible look to me. I looked down in the shower and *eek!* no bush! where has my womanhood gone?! I couldn't…

Its been a while since i delt with babies, but that baby totally looks to me like it had a gas bubble....and i thought i heard a fart.

How about voting for a third party candidate or organizing with your friends for a write in campaign for someone who you THINK would do a good job or be symbolic. Really, rather than sitting out all us fed up need to at least show we are still participating by voting, just not supporting the available options.

In Japan, if you arn't Japanese of housewife age then you are pretty much assumed by some men to be a sex worker. I'm white with red hair and I had several times when guys just didn't understand I wasn't going to fuck them just because I was American. (Actually, I've traveled in alot of places and had lots of guys…

I love Dolly so much...she can do or wear whatever she wants. Man, I want to make her something shiny and sparkley.

I was also rather bothered by his emotionless voice. I also was curious—-what was this business meeting that would fly his gf all the way to costa rica? how do others get in contact with this rescue so they can donate? please, I'm curious to know something other than you and your outraged "morals".

Do you have any examples of Abraham Lincoln's vault of flatulence jokes? I would love to hear some.

YES! Castle set was the best! I had the wolf-raiders, I think they were called. I foolishly set me nephew play with my set and he LOST half the set. bastard! I had more swords than people, and everyone had limbs...now i have hardly any weapons and a bunch of gimps. >:( I guess I still haven't forgiven him.

Your mom sounds AWESOME.

Through-out the centuries the crown jewels have been re-designed. Most of the jewels have been reused in newer pieces, but usually the metal gets melted down. I read a facinating book about Tiaras the other month and it went over the English Crown jewels....most are still around, just in another piece.
