That quote reminds me of a Marge Piercy poem; from the end:

Quote:
Why should we punish each other with scorn
as if to have a large ass
were worse than being greedy or mean?

When will women not be compelled
to view their bodies as science projects,
gardens to be weeded,
dogs to be trained?

I hope your new life in Playa is treating you well.
I know what you mean. You look at life a lot differently now, don't you? It's such a profound, delicate....privilege.

I absolutely love them, and agree with you that they are the best, but they're a gateway drug to milkshakes and double quarter pounders and McRibs, all of which have proven to not agree with me within hours over the last year or so, so I'm going to make it a point to try to avoid them as much as possible.
it is a gateway...instead of just those tonight i got the chicken mcnuggets meal with a chocolate shake....thanx

Went for a hike over in the Olympics and Tucker got us kicked out of the park again

Saw a marked trail outside the park so we did the 6.5 mile loop. Just looked it up "steepest trail in the Olympics"

We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!

This year is cool

You just have to leave 2 place holers. Like .. or you could follow random thoughts thread code of conduct and just spill it. Sorry I didn,t write the rules. The Monkey did. You must abide by them. (That's another RTT rule.)
