    Destruction of American History: DON'T DO IT.

    Seeing that nearly makes me retch with anger, because it's close to home: My father has a couple of quite old electric trains, worth a lot of money and even more sentimentally, and he was storing them at his childhood home. His sister, my aunt, married a man with huge green dollar signs for...

    First Dates

    I don't think I ever had another man step in for me in those situations. Perhaps that's why I've developed such an acid tongue...

    First Dates

    You're right Justin, but the way I saw it, he was beyond rude to me. Courtesy has already flown out the window, and I'll admit that it's hard for me to be nicer about it when I'm angry.

    First Dates

    Thanks doll! :) Sheeplady is right about the men who don't listen to you when you try to be nice. I've found it's better to stand up to them, because they're less likely to keep going.

    First Dates

    Oh dear. Let me explain: When a man comes up to me and says something like "Hello there, you're looking nice this evening, perhaps you'd like to have a drink with me sometime?" I will be very kind to him. Chances are, he will smile and say he is sorry, he didn't know, and we'll probably end...

    Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

    For once, I don't have to worry about what to do tonight - I'm going to see Private Lives :D So excited!

    Not trying to be cute, but...

    I occasionally get called cute, and it may or may not bother me depending on who says it. Like Justin pointed out, a man saying I'm cute will go a lot further than any other adjectives he may pick. My many old Italian relatives have always said how cute I am, as do my mum's friends. I hate...

    Gentlemen's attire--do you indulge?

    I have. I once wore a button up shirt, a vest, a tie, and trousers - I loved it, and I got many compliments. Surprisingly enough, I still looked very feminine.

    How do you wear a blouse?

    Okay. If anyone is looking for a blouse, get the Vivien of Holloway one. I now have two by way of a very kind lounger (you know who you are ;)) and they are my instant favourites.

    What to do about freckles and blood vessels

    You mean the tongue of nightingale and lady's tear one is the wrong one? ;)

    What to do about freckles and blood vessels

    I was reading over this thread and found cashun's post about colour corrector again, and I thought "what the hell." So I mixed some bleaching powder in 20 volume peroxide, dabbed it on my freckles, and after twenty minutes - Gone. I suffered no burns, dryness, or other ill effects. I couldn't...

    Article: "Should A Kindergartner Really Be Listening To Nicki Minaj?"

    My sentiments exactly! It's awful that a truly talented person has to hide behind the theatrics they every other performer does.

    First Dates

    Good one! If I run into this and the guy is nice, I say "Well, I would... But I don't think my boyfriend would like it!" If the guy is a putz, though, I'll make him feel like digging a hole and crawling in after it - Someone needs to take them down a notch.

    Article: "Should A Kindergartner Really Be Listening To Nicki Minaj?"

    In the eyes of pop music lovers she is, and I have no doubt that she'll be remembered for many, many years. I have to admit she's creative, though I wonder when the time will come when she won't be able to top herself. As far as talent, if you haven't listened to her duet "The Lady is a Tramp"...

    Destruction of American History: DON'T DO IT.

    Actually, that's exactly what the artist thought: "With the availability of most books for e-readers, traditional books take up too much space and collect dust. I wanted to find a way to recycle these books for a good use." Where is my crowbar?

    Article: "Should A Kindergartner Really Be Listening To Nicki Minaj?"

    That one never flew with my folks, either. They'd ask me if I'd take a nap in the road if everyone else did it.

    I don't understand how people don't see this! I can think of quite a few girls that have fallen into this trap - "If he would cheat on her for me, that means I am special." :eusa_doh:

    Article: "Should A Kindergartner Really Be Listening To Nicki Minaj?"

    It's true - People don't often think past the biological portion of creating children. Hell, that's the easy part. You're using proportionality again, and it just doesn't work. What we have today are a vast amount of rapidly changing trends, in our rapidly changing world: think about how...

    Destruction of American History: DON'T DO IT.

    I saw in my paper that a local artist was taking antique books, tearing them up, and folding the pages into these little sculpture things. She would use one entire book for each piece. If I wasn't angry enough at that, I read this caption under one of them: "and this one is made from a first...
