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.
People keep asking me if we had planned to have the baby. Who asks that? Why?My next door neighbor brazenly reached out and fondled my belly before declaring it a baby girl.
You should have bit her, Sally.
Idiots.
"Hey Clark! Have you heard the new Radiohead album?"
It has me laughing now too.
I read Outlander so I get some of this Scottish talk. I also now know women dig manly guys in kilts.

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?
I'll buy him enough drinks so that he will wear one.
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 :)
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 LOLi have video of that :)
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.

Good for you, looks like fun.

I think the work boots completed the ensemble greatly.

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

And I'm guilty of abusing that one."
Agreed, it's disgusting. I'm not guilty of abusing it.

Stacia *airhead with street cred wrote: "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.
