Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
My next door neighbor brazenly reached out and fondled my belly before declaring it a baby girl. She's the only one to have done that, and I wasn't completely ready for it. I had just eaten so I was especially rotund, and it was a strangely intimate moment with a person I normally wave and dash away from as quick as I can.

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments People should also refrain from any comparisons that begin with "You are as big as..." For some reason, that one comes up a lot too. (Although, I think my comparison to a whale was coming from funny husbands who think they're being cute.)

I think I gave off a "Back off the belly!" vibe, so I didn't have anyone but family touching. However, once Jessi was born everyone wanted to pick her up, including strangers. Um, no. Get your own baby, ya freak.


Books Ring Mah Bell People keep asking me if we had planned to have the baby. Who asks that? Why?

You should have bit her, Sally.

Idiots.

I have the need to change the title of this thread to sound Scottish.


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Sally, it would sound more Scottish with a "nae" than a "no", and maybe a "ye" instead of "you"...

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments I read Outlander so I get some of this Scottish talk. I also now know women dig manly guys in kilts.

Outlander...pfffft.

Yes, but what we really want to know is would you wear a kilt, Mr. Moderator?


message 118: by RandomAnthony (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Why yes, dearest librarian, I would...but what would be the proper occasion?




Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Any dress occasion, I believe. Weddings, funerals, ceilidhs, etc.


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Caber tossing...


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Or of course, riding a horse along the glen. Do you ride, by any chance, RA?


message 122: by RandomAnthony (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments I do not ride, Jacks, nor do we have glens in the immediate area. So I'm afraid I'd have to wear the kilt to normal places, e.g. the mall, library, YMCA...will that work?


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Works for me, laddie. :)


Books Ring Mah Bell I'll pay to see RA in a kilt!



message 125: by [deleted user] (new)

I'll buy him enough drinks so that he will wear one.


message 126: by Youndyc (new)

Youndyc | 1255 comments fabulous!
Hell, let's all wear kilts to the mall!


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments I almost wore my kilt to work today, but I didn't feel like dealing with tights.


message 128: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments i did a Highland Games event several years ago at a Scottish Festival. every participant had to wear a kilt. i was the oldest and the smallest guy out there. i did do the caber toss and other event but didn't do that great but big fun. first prize was a two handed broad sword. second place got a mace. i got a picture of me with the first and second place guys :)


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Did you get the caber to flip over, Kevin? And, can we see the picture?


message 130: by Kevin (new)

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments i will post some pics. i did flip the smaller "qualifying" caber but the big momma telephone pole one - no. but i was one of the few who lifted it even LOL
i have video of that :)


message 131: by Angie (new)

Angie (angabel) Can I add to my earlier post?

1) Don't be an ageist. Don't think that your views are superior because you've been on this earth longer than I have, or because you haven't, and thus you're "more in touch" with the current aesthetic. (And realize there is a big difference between ageism and good advice from someone who's been there.)

2) Don't try to bring me down because I have a college degree. I nearly killed myself trying to get that degree (and now it's been the sole reason why I can't get any job in my area). You have no idea what others go through in order to get degrees, whether it's GEDs or college degrees. A degree isn't necessarily a measure of intelligence, and having one doesn't make you smarter than the rest of the world.

3) Don't try to assume things based on my (or anyone's) profile on the internet. That means, don't assume things based on my avatar (and in effect, my formerly-crazy-colored hair), don't assume things based on my blog, on my passport (e.g. list of countries traveled), or my religious/political views. There is something more to each of us than is presented here, and we will never know what lead someone to be snappy on the internet one day; it could have been a spilled cup of coffee or the death of a friend.

I direct this not only to the universe, not only to "Jennie" who prompted me to add these things, but also to everyone in this community. I don't know if the members are still active here or not, but I really don't appreciate some of the ignorant, snarky and downright mean comments I've received in the past.

That is styling Kevin, a kilt with a beater!

Good for you, looks like fun.

I think the work boots completed the ensemble greatly.

smetchie | 4034 comments I think you've GOT to go boots with the kilt.


message 140: by Youndyc (new)

Youndyc | 1255 comments Of course, boots. What else would work - flip flops? I think not!

Brittomart Kevin in a kilt!

I go searching for Radiohead topics, and this is what I find.


message 143: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh I hadn't seen this before thanks Britt. I had seen him in a kilt playing golf which was pretty cool.

Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Isn't it 'rode hard and put away wet?'

That's what I always thought it was, and it refers to horse-riding, as in made the horse run and then didn't clean off the sweat. Bad for the horse and mean, but not necessarily disgusting.
