To this day I don't know if he was lying, I can't handle the truth!

LMAO. My grandparents also had an outhouse, but they had toilet paper, too, lol.

Thanks for the tip!

I've used both in the dish they work great the baked beans make sure to drain them well though.

Ugh, that was pretty bad. Damn you, morbid curiosity! I wasn't manly before it, but I think I just became one. On the plus side, thanks for the advice.

The last pic wasn't that bad. I thought it would be a pic of the results of wiping with poison sumac(worst idea ever, btw)..of course, I'm uber manly...so...

They invented what now? Why did nobody tell me?

great post. when soldiers came home from WWII there wasn't a high occurance of PTSD. why? because soldiers spent months on a boat with other soldiers who had chewed the same dirt, knew the horrors, and could work through those problems with each other. it was a way for them to decompress in a confined environment, where there wasn't anything to do but deal with those issues. contrast that with vietnam where soldiers would be getting shot at from rice patties one day, and two days later be walking through LAX. it was following the vietnam war that we saw numerous cases of shell shock, now called PTSD. over the recent years the army has finally started to take notice (i can't speak to the other branches) and has began implimenting decompression periods. it starts with spending a month in kuwait doing menial tasks under observation to prepare them to return to the world. that month is followed by periodic "conferences" for lack of better word, where the combat vets can come and talk and relate to each other. i don't know if this has been implimented across the army yet or if it's still in a sort of beta phase, but it is a step in the right direction.

Thank you, the men and women in uniform hold a very special place in my heart as I come from a military family.

Ever have a manager that manages their employees like they parent their kids? Because that's the only model they have for being in charge. If they are dysfunctional parents, they are a b**ch to work under.

"Better start running" was what got me. I went all pudding inside and had an "AAaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwww" moment. It was pure evil and I loved it I didn't realize that she was more then the classic mean evil girl. She was evil incarnate and a sadist as well.

It was real cool to see her in the "In the Flesh" live reading, such a contrast between the actress ways and the character's. Funny
