lol... just heard the famous Xmas song from one of our dutch cabaretiers... Flappie... it is kind of sad but the end is so funny... it is about a child that has a pet rabbit and suddenly just before Xmas the pet is gone, and daddy says he cannot go to the shed and if he goes and plays nicely, he will get a treat later on.
4:21 am

both re 8s are 45s
4:21 am
puglet

I dont think Ive heard that Sprite
4:22 am

and he searched everywhere for his Flappie, but can't find him. And then at dinner, lo and behold, there is the poor rabbit, as dinner, and the child goes berzerk of course. And then it ends... with the next day, when mum asks where is dad, and the child answers she is not allowed in the shed, and if she goes and plays nicely... she will get a treat later on...
4:22 am

There is a wind blowing inside us, thru a wasteland of emptiness.
We feel like useless seeds blown around the desert,
without the possibility of germinating to fulfill our potential.
Our nothingness is an internal vacuum with an insatiable appetite,
a black hole at our core, threatening to suck everything else in.
Our lives are essentially hollow, lacking inner strength and vigor.

We seem to have lost our insides;
our guts have been removed and discarded.
The Void within gives a painful, drawn feeling to our faces.
We know that we are doomed creatures, fighting hopelessly for life.
The Existential Void is quicksand into which we sink ever more quickly.
We know we should be doing something, but we don't know what.
When we change our activities, hoping to escape the Void,
the gnawing feeling of emptiness comes right along with us.

The Void is a dis-ease of our depths, the distress of nothingness,
a hollowness that threatens to engulf and dissolve the rest of our being.
This internal Void threatens to consume us
because our skin will become too thin to stand up all by itself.
At best, we can isolate the Malaise, encapsulate the gnawing Void,
before it devours our whole being and makes us disappear.

He doesn't understand why we can't be friends..hello? Not only were they seeing each other quite awhile before I left, she has proven herself to be a totally self-absorbed and insensitive witch (spell it any way you want) and none of our family wants her around. I warned him not to get me in a room with her or we were throwing down! Verbally, of course.
6:35 am
crosshair

then,if I were your ex,i would respect that or if I were your son and hosting the get together,i would respect that. unless the ex gets cheap thrills from parading her around under your nose,but that is cheap
6:36 am
MimiCat

BTW, she was also married when they started seeing each other and stayed married for several years....reprehensible.
6:37 am
MimiCat

I know my son has no use for her as she has disrespected his wishes where his children are concerned. And none of us appreciate the way she treats my ex---we may not be married anymore but I will always love him and I want him to be happy...he never will be with her.
6:38 am
crosshair

then the family should ask him not to bring her along since you all feel the same about her
6:38 am
crosshair

she can stay home and have a nice tv dinner:)

He should have the sensitivity to understand that, crossy, but that is one reason we're divorced....with two hands and a flashlight he couldn't find a clue in that area.

Are you going to sing Christmas carols for your son?

Nope...they're not into my singing. Maybe my grandsons will be when they get older.
6:44 am
MimiCat

In any case, I think she's in Michigan with her family so it is a non-issue. I'd hate to turn Christmas into an uncomfortable experience for my family, although I think my children would actually enjoy hearing me rip her a new one!

Got a new DVD that has 3 different fireplaces, lava blobs from a lava lamp, and an aquarium...my Pywakit cat is watching the aquarium now. He got a little tired of the hummingbirds after so many viewings. I'll like the fire one as I go to sleep---it's on a continuous loop so that will be nice.

11:26 pm
rururocks

11:29 pm
rururocks

11:30 pm
mab

i've only, amazingly, been to one bris in my life.
11:30 pm
mab

i got woozy and had to sit on the porch with a little girl who was vomiting.
11:31 pm
rururocks

I've never been to one
11:31 pm
rururocks

LOL
11:31 pm
mab

it is fairly primal
11:31 pm
rururocks

it's like going to the barber
11:31 pm
rururocks

take a little off the top
11:32 pm
mab

do they strap you to a board at the barber and give you a little sip of wine?
11:32 pm
rururocks

they should :D
11:32 pm
jesdraggon

never seen one... not being much for religious ceremony I doubt I ever will.
11:33 pm
mab

actually, it is painless, the bris. it's just sort of awful to witness someone being ritually cut.
11:33 pm
rururocks

I would imagine
11:33 pm
mab

or cut otherwise
11:33 pm
rururocks

I have a hard enough time puckering up :D
11:33 pm
mab

always, but once, i sit with the mom in a separate room.
11:35 pm
mab

perhaps some day i will understand this strange covenant, but i doubt it.
11:36 pm
mab

why not the tip of the little finger? or an earlobe?
11:36 pm
rururocks

I doubt I'll ever go to one
11:36 pm
mab

ok. chog killer. will take break now. you should go - interesting.
11:36 pm
jesdraggon

i have a general distaste of modifying someone else's body without their permission/buy-in. Not that it's ever going to matter specifically in my life, because I have no intention of making babies!
11:38 pm
rururocks

chog killer?
11:38 pm
rururocks

i've been to a jewish wedding.. and I really enjoyed it
11:39 pm
rururocks

a bris however..
11:40 pm
jesdraggon

i doubt I'd be invited, and doesn't seem like the kind of party one crashes
11:41 pm
rururocks

yeah .. what do you bring for gifts.. a box of band-aids?
11:41 pm
jesdraggon

i don't even know if you are supposed to give gifts at a bris
11:42 pm
rururocks

gives a whole new meaning to the "head of the table"
11:42 pm
jesdraggon

i do know that i generally prefer the aesthetics of un-cut adults, but obviously that's personal preference
11:44 pm
rururocks

I didn't have a whole lot of choice in the matter :D
11:44 pm
jesdraggon

yeah, see, and i don't like that. i wouldn't pierce a baby's ears either - let them decide when they are old enough to consider it.
11:45 pm
rururocks

how are you on waxing the eyebrows of babies jes :D
11:46 pm
rururocks

(ala kim kardashian)
11:46 pm
jesdraggon

i have to say that i have never actually considered that as a thing to do
11:46 pm
rururocks

apparently kim kardashian's mom has
11:46 pm
rururocks

whatever her name is
11:46 pm
jesdraggon

11:47 pm
rururocks

11:47 pm
rururocks

I have never seen more self-absorbed .. banal, boring people on tv
11:48 pm
jesdraggon

hah. i've heard several similar things
11:49 pm
rururocks

maybe Iylanna on Oprah
11:49 pm
rururocks

is as boring and grating
11:50 pm
jesdraggon

have never even heard of lylanna
11:50 pm
rururocks

it's a good thing I've never been on her show
11:52 pm
jesdraggon

why's that?
11:54 pm
rururocks

she does this excercise with string for couples.. (mrs ru watches the show) I would tell her (Iylanna) to shove it up her ***
11:56 pm
gingentleman1

only a woman would think a circumcision painless
11:57 pm
jesdraggon

string exercise? like cat's cradle?
