So this is off topic, but why (well except maybe Scrooged) haven't there been truly scary versions of "A Christmas Carol?" With the muppets you know what you to expect, and the version with Alistair Sim had a very frightening ghost of Jacob Marley. To me it cries out for a real fever dream treatment, make it as dark as possible. (Well except for the Tiny Tim scenes, obviously).
Of course it depends what you do with your year. Move up the ladder, or move to a better place or changing your hobbies or whatever can all make it a better year. Politically - it's gonna be a crapfest of a shitshow. No two ways about that.
The owner kind of makes a weak attempt to seem like they’re trying, but if I weren’t there, they wouldn’t intervene at all. I’m asking because I want to make sure that I don’t over react next time.
Hydra, eh? According to the web, hydra are "virtually immortal" in a lab environment. On the other hand, though I've heard lobsters could be immortal, the web (which obviously is the only true source of info, wink wink) says it's a myth, eventually the lobster will die "from exhaustion during a moult." However I know they can live a long long time, many animals can easily out live humans.
If there are other immortal animal species, what are they? My comment about jellyfish being immortal was from the article in national Geographic. What are the animals you are thinking of?
Umm that should read "You're stupid." Who patrols these posts originally to make sure the English grammar is correct? Oh that's right, nobody does. I see this mistake every single time on almost every posting anybody puts online.
Me too, because I'm sure alcohol is more widely (and wildly) abused. Every day here in Utah people are getting killed by drunk drivers. Some are also under the influence of other drugs. My only beef is, don't get behind the wheel if you're high, it's not worth the consequences.
I think that's true, because with legalization comes tons of bureaucratic red tape and hoops to jump through that cartels would not waste their time with. I'm OK with legalization of marijuana, but I do hope it comes with people exercising good sense about how they use it (which won't happen, but I can dream...).
What's really bad about alcohol is, people who abuse it don't think it IS a drug. And they don't see it as having any negative effects until it's already created and addictive pattern and need for it.
True. And I don't get Fentanyl at all, I mean I don't do drugs myself and I really never wanted them but - c'mon people, Fentanyl? You'd be better off ingesting rat poison. Why would anyone deliberately take such a thing.
If he is, that's great because so many of these charges are ridiculous. But, I'm not necessarily in favor of making marijuana more accessible, just not keeping it a crime to go to jail over. As long as people are only getting high on their own (and NOT driving a car or anything afterward) I have no problem with what people do with it. That's up to them. It's not a crime to fuck yourself up in the manner of your choosing.
Amazing how beautiful the sky can be. We get a lot of stunning sunsets here in Utah like that one on the right. Not usually this time of year, but we've had more lately since we haven't had a lot of storms, just tons of clouds. I should take more pictures and put them on facebook or something.
Hey - you did it! (sniff!). I feel so much better about being a dweeb. Real strength isn't just physical, it's the ability to see why and how you can lift other people up around you with words and deeds.
But Timmy - God doesn't love you. Not at all. Tonight when you go to bed, just know the end of days is near and soon we'll see all the stars wink out one by one, the cold embrace of death is near and soon the black shroud of death will become your pillow. Oh, and sleep tight son.
Nice cock? Is there a constellation shaped like a rooster up there or something? Beyond the rim of the starlight, my love is wandring in star flight, I know my journey ends never - remember, remember me. (the lyrics to star trek).

What's a proper response to another dog attempting to mount your dog multiple times and the owner really not doing anything about it?
