The Dino-Aspie Ex-Café (for Those 40+... or feeling creaky)

I hereby petition for official Grumpy Old Cow status based on THIS POST (it's fairly far down the page) I made in another thread, which shall henceforth be known as my manifesto.

Lau, thanks on two counts: one, you keep me honest; and two, you've reminded me of something I need to put in my memoir.

And P.S.: I think I might have to lay off the caffeine for the rest of the day.

It didn't seem like you were ornery in that post.....

I left out all the snarls, growls and swearwords, that's why!

Ah. His original post was rather rude. Considering I'm an Aries.

"Anti-Jenner".

Nicely done.

Hi Nan and Kid

Sorry for this small rant, but...........

I THINK IF I GET WOKEN UP EARLY ONE MORE TIME SO THAT I CAN GO IN FOR EXTRA TIME WITH LITTLE TO NO HELP BECAUSE SOMEONE CALLED IN TO WORK I THINK I AM GOING TO START DEDUCTING SOMETHING... ASKING FOR PAY FROM THE PERSON WHO'S JOB I HAD TO PREFORM ALONG WITH MINE OR PIECES FROM THEIR MISSING REAR ENDS.

Uh yeah, sorry again. I really am a peaceful person until you wake me up. Especially if you wake me up and say I will have to work double today for the same nearly minimal pay. They are -so- lucky that I already know my boss has put in a request to the higher ups that I get a raise. I wanna go back to sleep.

Somewhere in my collections is a laminated poster, the kind you stick up on the wall of your cubicle at work, which has on it a picture of an irritated-looking tiger and the caption, "You caught me at a bad time - I'M AWAKE."

i encounter such a dog in the wood where i go jogging,
one day he was out and came to me just as angry,
i took a stick and yelled to him that he should go home,
and fortunately he did, i was scared though.
now i take another road.

it appears that one cannot look a dog in the eyes,
and i do, just to know what he's up to, but that makes them angry someone told me.



sending you an angel to protect you and your family, nan.

I'm sorry. I wasn't sure saying that Postie could have the Brownies was a good idea after what else had been written yesterday. You never know who is reading this.

Donning my grumpy old lady hat:

We are all entitled to our opinions and conclusions, and I believe we are even allowed to express them in a public forum such as this following certain guide lines of course.

I subscribe to Harper's and have access to their archives. The April of 1994 issue published several letters from Carroll to the Lidell's about photographing their three young daughters, preferably in the nude and unchaperoned. These letters were from a collection of letters by Carroll originally published by Oxford University Press. Harper's is a reputable magazine in existence since 1850. It's not a tabloid. I doubt the letters were counterfeit. They seemed pretty darn weird to me and would to most people I know.

I don't think this has anything to do with people from one culture making damning judgements against people from another culture, and I don't believe it's ever been common in any culture to take nude photographs of children without the presence of a parent or chaperone. Did Carroll do that? I have not seen evidence that he did. Did he write letters expressing his desire to do that? I do see evidence that he did. Does it matter? No, not much. Does it matter if we can or can not express an opinion or our conclusions about this subject. Yes, very much.

I don't know what difference it makes when the word paedophile was coined. Did they not exist before they had a name ? Do I think Carroll was a paedophile? Don't know enough about the dude. Would I let him or anyone else take nude shots of my children without my presence? No way.

On my walk to the train each morning for a period of time I encountered such a dog. He always came rushing at me and wouldn't let me proceed until his owner came out to get him. When I was little my cousin used to come to play and she had to walk through a big field to get to my house. Many dogs ran loose. She always carried a big stick. The stick was much bigger than she was. I love that picture of her in my mind.

Just received another message from Nan. They're hangin' in and she's got the laptop and wireless internet going. She tried to log on to WP this morning but, of course, no luck! She said she'll try to get on later today. The fire is several miles away from were she is so they will be fine. She seems to have her sense of humor intact.

I wonder - the thread may well explode - my contribution to it: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp984443.html#984443


I was going to apologise, earlier, to you, because I should have remembered that it would have been a sensitive subject. I couldn't think how to word it - and still can't.


Nah! Caffeine is what keeps the blood flowing.

woah, duuuuuude! send more marshmallows, we're out! and the beer's getting warm.

they've got the governator and rock bands over that the "Q" and half somebody's air force up overhead flying to drop water and retardant. borrowing one of lauri's tankers, i hear, that will drop 3 acres of water at once.

kind of like a game of bop the weasle - they put one out, other start elsewhere. the wind is way less than earlier - they couldn't fly until yesterday, really.

pendleton is on fire, right by the nuke plant. somebody tell the zonies they might get to glow in the dark in a few days if they don't get that fire knocked down.

internet is up and down, more down than up, so i'll just hit send and hope this makes it out.

this is NOT what you'd ever want to do on your vacation, lemme tell ya!

Take Care, all.

PS Chuck and Postie did it, I'm sure.
