Greetings chums,
I feel like balls dipped in shit, which is to say, not good. But I shall over come. I am wearing my favorite fat green socks and there is nothing you can do about it.
I am a pirate captain. My badassitude is unrivaled. Here me speak:
Strike up the mizzensail -- smartly me beauties -- lest I clep ye for bilge rats...

Don't feel bad about the emails. I didn't even think about Will being in Stand By Me when you posted that. lol

I don't feel good or well ... and I don't care.
HA! Hope you're all feeling fine.

There it sits ... smug in its finery ... mocking me.
How much longer?
How much longer can I resist ripping into it, tearing apart its insides and letting its gooey contents run through my cruel fingers?
It is my daughter's pumpkin-hued candy bucket.
I must not eat it. It is not for me.
Maybe just one piece ...

Historically speaking, I am somewhat of a luddite, like some geek-like creature lacking the technical skills stereotypically associated with geeks. For example, I can't figure out how to make photos smaller than 100 mbs so I can put them on my profile. But that's one small example ...

The way I shrink images from my digital camera to put them in my profile is through the program you probably have on your computer already: MS Paint. If you click on Image (at the top), then Stretch/Skew, I've found that reducing it to 20% of its original size is a good size for the Pics folder. Your camera might spit out images that are smaller than mine, so adjust to taste. 
Does that help?

I will never understand why human beings do the things they do to each other ... the day I understand the cruelty and evil of abuse and rape and murder, the day it makes sense to me, is the day my soul will die ...
My daughter confronted her mother about not believing her about the abuse. The ex's new husband molested her. That's why...

i most certainly do not know.
i know you already know all this, but i will restate it anyway.
what happened to your daughter(s) was not your fault, it was the fault of the evil cruel bastard husband of your EX wife's.
YOU are the one that is helping them through this. you, just by being the loving father you are. by being there for them. by understanding.
YOU will help them heal so they don't end up like so many of us have.
sound like a lot of pressure? it's not. sound like a lot of responsibility? it is.........but not more than you already had when they were born.
it takes being a good parent. i can feel that that comes easy to you.

virago vuh-RAH-go; vuh-RAY-go, noun:
1. A woman of extraordinary stature, strength, and courage.
2. A woman regarded as loud, scolding, ill-tempered, quarrelsome, or overbearing.
This was the Dictionary.com Word-of-the-Day. They come once a day (not often enough) via email.
This particular word fascinated me. In our culture the word for a strong, courageous woman is the same word for a "scold" or "overbearing."

RAMH: I saw your take on the word on your journal shortly after I wrote mine, and your view was enlightening. You chose to celebrate the second definition, basically putting into practice what I was saying about "not giving a damn about society's perceptions."
Maybe I betrayed my own social programming by interpreting definition 2 as automatically negative?
For me the word became a springboard for larger issues that weigh on my mind, my anxieties about raising two girls with no positive female role model.
I also, generally speaking, tend to be pessimistic about human beings, life, the universe and everything.
Personally, I'm a sore bloodied fist with swollen knuckles.
While I stand by my musings about our culture at large, I could be willing to give "virago" another chance.

Damn double standards.
The city is an ice field,
solid and cold.
The ground crunches when we walk,
And people breathe smoke, like exhaust.
Dead things sag, awaiting rebirth
And the people say,
"It will happen"
"It will come"
"Something must be done"
Everyone is hidden
They hide their faces and their hands,
Protection from the cold.
It bites, makes us turn red.
I sigh, and look up...

As of this writing, I have not yet completed the erotic poem about the caged hamsters. I hope to finish it this evening, but to be true, I am quite tired. My girls brought some friends over tonight for dinner and pumpkin carvings. It was glorious good fun, but exhausting. I made pudding and pasta with homemade sauce.

Caged hamsters? Respect for cats?

Thank you... very much. Sweet Pickles was never a finer exclamation.
