Makes me wish someone would take words out of her mouth. I think. The metaphor is so destroyed at this point, I'm honestly not sure about anything except my deep, deep desire for her to stop talking.

I so do know. I blister almost immediately from latex, but it didn't start out that way. So, from one po' person to another, take care of you, 'k? *grin*

Are you also allergic to latex? Both bananas and avocados have naturally occurring latex. Luckily for me my avocado allergy is mild (unlike demonic bananas, which I can't even look at...) because I love me some sushi, and guac.

Shaped like this (^) with the spine at the top and the ribs to the sides, their rib cage can flex in multiple directions, including in toward the body, or, supporting the…

Or with a Taco Bell menu, but I get your point.

Spirulina is algae.

It's pretty much like the mind of a cat; they want to be wherever you do not want them to be.

Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and the sheep in the barn. That's awful.

That is one magnificent horror movie shiner!

That's...horrific. My jaw has dropped, and I'm cringing in sympathy. Oh gods and little fishes.

Nah, Kanye always looks like that.
