frightening times!

#50 Daniel Day-Lewis (right) taking a break from filming New York gangs.

Our ancestors struggled a great deal. We owe to them for finding a better life working hard.

Ads are nowhere near as intrusive and annoyingly in the way as the Izismile request to 'consider becoming a subscriber's panel that sits over the screen and can't be closed

#4 Magnificently beautiful young woman.

#16 I feel, as of now, that I've officially 'seen it all.'

#17 19th Century female 'Bronie' fetishist.

#40 I wonder if they're that reclining man's 'Hair-um.' Get it? "Hair-um?" Instead of Harem? Oh, c'mon, that's kinda funny! Isn't it? ((((sigh))))

#6 Followed shortly thereafter by a Victorian house fire.

#20 Victorian Santa's summer gig.

#16 Those are vagina wigs.

#24 When I was a kid (60s), before texting, etc, if we wanted to tell one of the neighborhood kids we would be coming to their house to get them to go do whatever we were going to do, we would say 'I'll knock up for you'. If my mother heard us using that expression, she would get angry and tell us not to use it. If I asked why, she would just get angrier and give me the old bs of 'because I said so'. Turns out ten or so years later, I was old enough to learn that the expression 'knocked up' meant 'pregnant'. Then, about 40 years later, after developing an interest in linguistics, I learned the original meaning of 'knock up'. Now I understand how the meaning evolved, and how the dysfunctional catholic upbringing my mother had led her to freak tf out at what had originally been an innocent figure of speech. ...Moral of the story: if you can't have an open honest conversation with your children, you are a lousy parent, and you will fuck up your children. Grow up and learn how to talk about life.
