I love hamsters, they are such funny animals. Those kinds of wheels were just coming out when I had hamsters but I never bought one of those since I had so many others. The pictures and videos of hamsters out there going crazy fast in those wheels are hilarious. They are cute pets.
Oh, those crazy hamsters! LOVE those "Stairs of Knowledge!" I appreciate all your Pride links too!
Those pictures in Safety First boggles the mind, starting with the officer leaning on that gun? If that thing goes off his (bad word here) will be in a world of trouble.
I thought I had said enough, but I cant leave without giving an honorable mention to the guy working on the electricity...in STANDING WATER??! Some People...
Thanks for another great list of links. Wishing you a great week!
It's difficult to read through the anti-Trump stuff.
Not because I'm a fan, you understand... but because it's just so damn depressing.
And the idea that there's anything at all that *I* can do is just crazy.
Also, the people who REALLY need to read and absorb that stuff aren't about to do either one.
::sigh::
Hi Infidel!
Don't worry about all those people highlighted in the safety first post. They were all wearing condoms.
I love those stairs!

Older people have to work, because life has become too expensive to survive on Social Security.
I saw some of the priest tweets earlier this week. Later on, some people were warning that priest tweets were deliberately trying to stir up shit on Twitter. In any case, that particular priest took his Twitter account down.
This is internet catnip:
Misogynistic semen cultists are divided over the issue of sex demons. LoL
Also, I wanna see that Abominable and google and Facebook are first rate stalkers. We sell our souls for a blog.

At 67 I still work, 24 hours per week. and still hit the gym 3 to 4 days a week. I do it to keep me healthier and because I can. Really, what's the point in retiring if you you're healthy and enjoy what you're doing?
Mary: You'd think they'd get dizzy, but they seem to like it.
Debra: I'm sure there will be plenty more Pride posts to link to.....
Dellgirl: Think of it as natural selection in action.
Ami: True, but it's not as depressing as the pro-Trump stuff.
Nonnie: Hah! Well, they should be safe then.
How is it possible that so much money and planning goes into suburbia and it so often comes out so hideous?
I wonder if that priest's superior told him to take it down because he was making Catholicism look even nuttier than usual.
Sixpence: That blog generates a lot of internet catnip.
Rational: The problem is that for most people, there's little or no overlap between the things they like doing and the things they can get paid for doing. The kind of work I do is OK, but if I didn't need the money, I'd quit in an instant. There are far better things to do with my time.
Finally finished going through this post! LOL Thanks for the interesting and fun links. I have a solar-powered cat. She is constantly searching for sunbeams to re-energize. She even goes so far as lying under lamps to get her fix!
Martha: Just in time for the next one.....
