heels are bad & you know it. but, so comedy, too.

they are so high. so wibblie. so wobblie. so crap-i'm-going-down! ...twice.

-that video is only made funnier by the fact that the audience is laughing at the poor chick.
and announcers on allllll sorts of news broadcasts. it's not a normal funny fall. it's like a jaggedy avalanche, wicked-witch-of-the-west-melting kind of crumble.


i don't plan on this happening to me, at least not unless i'm on glare ice. or, of course, in the case i would ever be drunk.
why is this not in my plan? because i no wear heels! my arches are a mile high, so those things & i, sadly, don't get along.

so don't go there, kids. stay safe & healthy. at least, most of the time, biffing only when it's attributable to the cocktail. careful, those feetsies gots to get you around for a bunches of years!

bobbi gets all politicalie

oh sarah! i saw your acceptance speech - you're so bold, so fierce, so snotty.

...which is to say, i love you! and lets be friends, please.

BUT




-thanks be given to faye for the forward!
did palin really answer the economic-crisis-topical question posed at the first debate with an (approximate) "at the next soccer game, ask the mom next to you what they think about it. i bet they have some concerns?" she did.
and questions requiring specific answers were thrown back with a (again, wildly approximately): "we're mavericks and we'll do what we need to do to get it done!" point is, tina wasn't much off.
which stems from this wonderful tidbit by my lovely, favorite, tina fey, on snl. ah, the Funny.

-soon-to-be-a-wearer of this T!

how to set up your own blind dates: by jen

my date 3 sundays ago was sooooo fun. and, strangely, successful! that is until my date decided to go onto the second date of the day. one i was not invited to. *tear*
we walked over to calhoun and strode around the lake. conversation was great. the fresh spring air so invigorating and so very welcomed back into our lives after a long winter. it was only 40 some degrees, but the sun was out, along with 2 million bikers/walkers/runners/rollerbladers and 3 million doggies. then, back at date's place wine was poured and waffles were made. next off to azia for an end-of-HH cocktail. then i got ditched! actually, my date, jen, had a date. a real date. the above is mostly a digression of the good day i had. my point being:

one way to get a blind date is to go out to the bars after drinking ... drinking plenty. pick the hottest man out of the crowd, then go over to him and suavely chat him up for a while. by bar time he'll definitely be wanting more. you will exchange numbers. you will leave the bar, go home with friends, order pizza, drink a little more and pass out on the couch with a wine glass in hand. the next day you'll brush off the crust flakes, get a text and be like: who this? a trail of spotty memories will seep back into your head. you will call your friends and together you will piece together the majority of the evening, at least the high(low?)lights. wholla! super cute agenda for the evening.

although this suggestion is not without flaws and is laced with good odds of several potential disasters, good stories will flow and i like that!

K. that's gross & sad.

yes, folks, i am a vegetarian. why? cause the alternative is not nice. that's the most concise and perfect way i know how to describe my feelings on the matter - in a manner that avoids me sounding like i'm lecturing or judging. and ...well, so i don't have to think about the below while i'm eating. here, too, i am not pushing any agenda, just throwing out a news bit.
aint they so cute!

this information is not for the light stomached individual. you've been warned.
so, there are several workers at the "quality pork processing" company that have been seen at the Mayo clinic & then diagnosed with neurological illnesses. fun fun.
the thought is that their contact with neural "material" set up an immune response causing a type of neuritis. the peripheral nervous system inflames and affects many voluntary and involuntary movements, like picking up a pencil or dilating pupils. no. big. deal.
also, 5 of the 11 workers who have been tested show signs of Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy - a disease that weakens muscles and causes numbness. and, of course, it's too early to say whether these patients will recover. perfect.

oh my gosh! how'd this ever happen? well, workers use compressed air hoses inserted into the skull cavity to "pulverize" the brain to push it out the snout or the base of the skull. not nice.
these hoses splattered brain tissue & created a mist of ... yeah.
workers don't wear face masks therefore they likely have inhaled the ... um, yeah.


i realize (most) of you aren't often around this particular illness causing substance, but i'm sure if this is as sanitary and safe they keep this area, your meat's processing area is not much better.
something to think about.
that little guy to the right deserves better. sooooo cute.
