It's difficult because it's both. I don't praise a God for its beauty and I don't blame a God for its horror... but sometimes it's really difficult to deal with the latter, especially since the former is often fleeting and hard-won.

In the woods of rural Panhandle Florida, I came upon the sight of a bee stripping the flesh from the head of a pygmy rattler, which I had assumed - upon bending over to get a closer look - was already deceased, being that the busy bee was industriously using its non-idle hands (or whatever the bee equivalent) to dig…

You're right, it was my border collie-mix runt (all of 25lbs) walking on a leash with me in a public area who REALLY is the root of the problem, not the guy with the two dogs off-leash who called out "don't worry, they're friendly" right before the pit bull put puncture wounds on the top and bottom of my dog's head...

Know what would be more fun and even more effective? A burn box for poop! Everybody likes seeing things go "poof", so why not have a "POOF the POO" box wherein you put your dog's contribution and a boom and a puff of smoke comes out of the container (perhaps some bio-degradable glitter erupts from the top - like a poo…

I'm hoping you're meaning the poop the people let their dogs leave vs. the people being the ones leaving the poop. I had that happen recently during spring break - after an obviously eventful night - and unfortunately my dog found the pile before I did; she likes sampling cat and goose poop, too.

Who takes care of it? Why, the Fæces Fairy, of course!

I live in a Southern resort town and my dog poo'd on the grass right in front of a balcony of Riviera Rednecks at one of the more poshy condos. The Pa of the fambly almost cussed me out for picking it up! "Whatchoo doin'? That there is siiiiick! Don't you never pick that up!" I told him that's how we did things in the…

Thank you for your balanced approach to this! I get sick of hearing people in denial that sometimes AB's CAN be aggressive. The scars on my border collie's head are proof that owners of this breed can sometimes be ignorant about the ability of their dogs to become violent in certain situations, regardless if they are…

My adopted older brother was horrendously bullied at school because he was gay (closeted). He then came home and bullied me. Can I understand, empathize, and even forgive him for what he did - yes, I've worked through that for the most part (except his critical voice still resounds in my head and I have really low…

Anybody an "Infinite Jest" fan? Did DFW call it about the advent of vidchat and massive, ridiculous insecurity?

Troll, Interrupted?

hmmm, "face privilege"?

Fred Schneider is wearing Frock Lobster™

No, wrong proof of absolute loveliness. Instead: "Dead Man" - Neil Young playing music he wrote especially for the movie & Depp reading the poetry of William Blake, whom he doesn't play in the movie.

"¡No hay Banda!

The vessel was built throughout of steel and had a cellular double bottom of the usual type, with a floor at every frame, its depth at the centre line being 62 in., except in way of the reciprocating machinery, where it was 78 in. For about half of the length of the vessel this double bottom extended up the ship’s…

So Pageant Princesses are just Drag Queens in training? I get it now...

Teller does have a problem with semen-clogged showers, but so far hasn't said much about it...

A friend I saw the movie with thought District 12 where they put all the FDLS...

Is this from the new season of "Teens and Tiaras"?
