If Katie Hill's tattoo is real, I'm having 2nd thoughts about her.
Love the toilet paper blower! I want one! . . . No, I NEED ONE.
It's going to take me a few weeks to go through all these as I can't just look at just one thing on the site I go to.
Hi Infidel,
Hope you had a happy Sunday.
Once again, it's way too late. Was busy all week (my son came down for a wedding and stayed for a few days), and by the time I was ready to click on some linky goodness, my eyes are starting to close (changing the clock didn't help either). However, I wanted to stop by and say thanks once again for the links over to The Raisin. Two links, two weeks in a row! I don't know what I did to deserve that, but thanks so much.
Of course, I couldn't resist the first few links. If the guy who invented the toilet paper blower applied himself, he could probably cure cancer. Genius!
Just a few comments here, before I get behind ... I was going through these yesterday too, then got cut off and had to run errands ... Jezuz Krist, every damn time I get interrupted on some thing or another.
You know, as far as Pete Buttigieg- Mike Norfolk, (I don't even know how to pronounce it I guess, I say "boo- ti- jay" (?). It is really f'n sad, when we have to waste our time, wondering who a person sleeps with or whatever. It never bothered me that he was gay, or made me cheer him on or whatever ... as far as I'm concerned, he served this country, and is far more better than the f'n draft dodging, gouging, cheating, Donald Trump, out of 1960's racist Queens/ NYC. I haven't followed elections like I should be I guess, I watched some of the debates, I think all candidates made some good points, even that guru type author or whatever she is out of Houston, Marianne something (?) This morning on local news, they sounded worried about Beto dropping out, saying that their polls show that Texans favoured him or whatever, I guess cause he's a Texan, saying that they don't think other democrats can beat Trump in Texas, on an election or whatever. frankly I get sick of these goddamn polls at times, they change like the bloody seasons too. I like to just see democrats stick to the issues, and less time talking about Trump, Trump loves that shit when they bad mouth him ... win the voters, in other words, forget Trump, and just let those investigators do their thing ... just my opinion.
Glad you liked the Oak Lawn street party pics, that's a compliment, coming from someone, that lives in a truly unique artsy city like PDX/ Portland ... Dallas is a tad more corporatist, much more plastic than a place like Portland.
The Vox piece on poorer kids spending more time on iPhones, makes sense, never really thought about it. But communities that are lacking in opportunity and other things, are your communites as well, as I pointed on my blog, that would look for enteratinment and activities that cost less. I related to this as far as drugs/ alcohol though on my blog ... as being a temporary escape from the reality, and feeling trapped in a place/ environment. My daughter went to Target store one day with me, she forgot her phone, and said she like feels lost and anxiety without it (I sat her down and talked to her, to try to ease her thinking) ... her thing to unwind, is going to the gym, which is usually daily, for her it's missing an importante call or client, I mean, she worx night and day, from a Strabucks, or her home, or her office ... seems like she's always working.
I did like the toilet paper blower, but more or less for a Xmas gift for my grandkids, I guess ... Later Infidel
I'm with Debra and need that toilet paper blower! As a kid I was a serious practical joker and this would have been perfect! By the way, you asked what my real name was awhile ago, and now you know.(lol) Hugs, RO
Adam: I suspect she didn't realize the significance of it. Nazis don't tend to become Democrats.
Debra: Somebody probably sells them. For every need, there's somebody trying to make a buck filling it.
Mike: That's fine, it takes me a week each time to find all this stuff.
Nonnie: Thanks! You've been posting pretty frequently lately, so there's a lot to choose from.
Ranch: For the record, it's pronounced BOO-tej-ej. It's a Maltese name, and Maltese is actually a form of Arabic. The name is similar to ones that are common in places like Tunisia and Algeria, though in those places they spell the first part "Bou" (French influence).
Unfortunately anti-gay prejudice is still an issue, though not as much as ten or twenty years ago. If he does become president, I look forward to seeing the fundies go absolutely apeshit.
I can't stand this whole smartphone culture where you're constantly "plugged in". My cell phone is just for roadside emergencies and I rarely even turn it on.
RO: Buncha toilet-paper commandos we got here :-).....I wonder if the NRA will take up the cause.
The article on the rich kids and their phones makes sense.
Ann Coulter is a c*nt, there. It’s simpler.
The toilet paper one made me cackle.
XoXo
It's always nice to see Coulter make a complete fool of herself in public.
Uggh - it is hard to read that stuff about the Catholic Church - it just makes my skin crawl.
Another great round-up. Although some places feel like I'm stepping into the twilight zone :)
Lady M: The institutional Catholic Church, in its own way, is much creepier and scarier than Halloween. Or almost anything else.
Martha: Ours is a very strange world in a lot of ways, once you dig under the surface a bit. I like to think I do a bit more digging than most.
