Too many cosmic rays coming through ...

Must find my tinfoil hat ...

Hyper-critical attitudes in the water supply ...

I am watching a the "Gill Deacon Show" and they are talking about a coffee that is made from coffe beans that were eaten by civets (wild cats) and then picked out of the their poo. I suppose "cat scat" would be a politer term. It is $600.00 a pound!! It is supposed to be made better by the digest system of the cat. Makes sense, but YUCK!
And now they are making soup out of bird's nests. The nest of a certain bird is harvested. The twigs and dirt are removed and the outer shell that is made out of the bird's saliva is boiled for soup. It is $10,000 per kg!! ! That would be about $20,000 per lb. It is very high in protein but at that price it should be a miracle food! This is from the orient and the coffee is harvested in the South America.

Makes me glad I don't have enough money to even consider eating something like that! I guess if you think about it honey is basically bee spit.

Just a little something to think about!

Dh tells me honey is bee spit all the time. He can't stand me to eat that. It completely turns his stomach. I think I'll order him that coffee and see what he does. LOL

Just be sure not to tell him where the beans come from until he's enjoying that first sip...

Lelia comes in, oblivious as usual, and sits down carefully. Her back hurts from working on the frog bog in the back yard. If she had known how Interested the birds would be in it, she would have dug it long ago. It's rolling the fifty pound rocks in that wear her out. She never did like coffee before, and for sure she's not ordering any scat coffee here. "Soda water please."

Since he's the only one who ever buys or makes the coffee, I'm sure he'll look it up. He knows better than to think I bought coffee because I thought we'd like it. I know nothing about coffee.

Take a break from frog bogging. You had enough Sisyphus for one day.

thank you, blessed, I really loved your story when your dad came galloping in on his figurative white horse and shut up your aunt with the truth. That's the kind of truth I was raised on. bluntness was a virtue - stating your mind - a necessity. Emotions build and meltdowns occur. feelings are hurt - so feelings are hurt in return if only by communicating the bluntness. Nobody said I was housebroken. I believe, if Postie can pop in and out of his rant mode, he will attest that I am still very savage. Chuck knows I can barely hold my own in polite society, being all my life an 'Aspie in the wild".

Sometimes I am not sorry for telling the truth, but I can be sorry I screwed the pooch in the living room and made others uncomfortable because well, in polite society, I suppose even for me, it is crossing the line.

I love you all.

I not been here for a whilr.

I was o n a website.....gumbtree...like craigslists. But an advert captured me.."Pirates Course"

For 2 days I wandered around, thinking about this. Woould I get a certificate in piracy? Could I be any good at making blackgurds walk the plank? Would I need a
skull and crossbone tatoo? How good would I be at boarding a ship?

I had my pirates course all planned out.

When I went to enrole........it was a pilates course.
damn your scaly eyes you blacguards...aaarrrrgghh!! ! Jim me lad

Except me, of course.

Oh yes, you're excused for your aspie ways, but I'm not? WTF?

So you're sorry for making the "others uncomfortable", but not sorry for publicly crucifying and humiliating me, and making me feel even worse about myself than I already do?

Bluntness is good, I agree, put public humiliation is unacceptable.

I would not have responded in this forum, but I find this post a little too personal, especially considering a mod had to delete your rant about me that defied the TOS.

Mescalero - thank you, this gave me a laugh (in a nice way of course) in an otherwise extremely dull morning.

Sins, I can see you being Aspie in the wild. I think my best friend often does this. She rolls her eyes at my gilded cage, although she's become accustomed to dh over the years.


Mescalero, I hate when I see a word that is not there. I get so excited that I continue to see it then suddenly see that I am wrong! It's very disappointing.

or... Gym me lad

Pilates ! ! I luv those drinks ! !! With the pineapple, and the little umbrellas ! !!
