Yeah, that one put the finishing touch on Peter Mullen being the most terrifying human. Like Red Riding wasn’t bad enough. I get nauseous with fear when I think about him.

My rule is, if it’s not something that you can kill with your bare hands if it turns on you...keep your distance. And if it’s something so large that it can kill you just by running into you, keep a barrier between you as well.

Yuck, but the problem is, is that genetically the dogs are designed for aggressive behavior and the type of person you described is also usually the type that wants their dog to be serious and stoic and intimidating - meaning they don’t handle it a lot and get it used to people and help it grow into a trusted family…

Those pictures are valid evidence. That pit looks like a sweetheart and the other looks like he will eat my face off if I don’t stop looking at his picture.

I used to dog sit my friend’s pit bull when he was out of town and I was constantly paranoid about being attacked and having her stolen when I was out walking her. He kind of lived in a rough neighborhood - not rough enough that I didn’t feel safe walking (especially with a dog), but she looked mean and there’d been…

Well, at the same time, careers in the music industry did not involve near the level of promotion in the old days. Not that this makes it any better, but think about how much time artists spend now doing endorsements and photo shoots, making videos, going to awards shows, trying to launch their acting careers. I’m…

Jolie is my favorite because she says “underpants” and not the dreaded p-word.

Whenever I use it, I go the full, “Okie dokie, Dukie.” Which I believe I got from Gummie Bears, the cartoon.

God this was so perfect.

Not “going urban?” Sorry, Gotham City is the suburbs now?

I was kind of miffed. What it is about fatherhood that equates having to ditch your old band t-shirts? I mean, I would think that they would be great for all the times your baybee pukes on you. Or is he implying that your have to change your music taste?

I have nightmares about missing the edit window.

OMG, no, don’t be. We all go there at one point. There is forgiveness and redemption in admitting the error. The people that just disappear after pulling one of these are doing themselves a disservice. If you don’t laugh at your own mistake, it’s just worse.

.....you almost literally don’t believe it? Haha! This is a fun day!

Word......me too.

I just heard about them on NPR sniffing for TB in samples. Humans in labs can do 1 test every 15 minutes. Rats can do about 70.

It seems very plausible to me as well, but the fact remains that it was not the case for me. I did not have any money nor buy anything for myself until I was much, much older. And while everyone’s experience is valid, I think it’s a bit disingenuous to compare the experience of a 5 year old in 1983 (or 1991 in Rose’s…

Were you about 7? I already had a comment about “my sister and I started saving for a gaming system when we were 5 and 7” LOL.

I don’t know whether to feel grateful that I was never required to make my bed (mum didn’t do it for me, we just weren’t bed makers) or feel like my parents were giving me the shaft on any sort of allowance. Lol.

I am not sure, you’d have to ask my parents. I’m guessing their answer would be something along the lines of, “We provided everything you needed and enough of what you wanted - why would we concern you with money at that age.” As far as I remember, we did not receive cash as gifts at that age. I don’t remember getting…
