Instead I got the 90 something coming at me with the spade.
It's probably bad that story made me think of this shot of my cat - closely followed by me dropping the camera and running.

Reasons to be cheerful. My kids have voluntarily gone outside. They're sitting out at our picnic table in the shade, all dressed in black, playing some kind of Worms-variant on the boy's MacBook. Every time I look out there I giggle. I'd photograph them but they'd get pissy.

But it's way too long, and I'll be very cheerful indeed if Hollywood declare a moratorium on any film being longer than 110 minutes.
Ha, yes. My line is 'is it longer than The Big Sleep and if so why?'

Hadn't seen one of those for a while.
This is not normally a venue where I need my ROFLcopter, or my Lollercoaster.

If the social parasites who work for the AIDS Foundation cared about reducing the incidence of HIV they would recommend that homosexuals not to have promiscuous and often anonymous sex.
ROFLMFAO
Chuck honey, the ad featured the word 'needle'.
Doubtless her nurse was one of those dirty filthy bisexuals.

Shutting down CIA detention is great. Last torture loophole to close would be 'extraordinary rendition'.
It's coming, by the sounds of things:
(e) Mission. The mission of the Special Task Force shall be:
(ii) to study and evaluate the practices of transferring individuals to other nations in order to ensure that such practices comply with the domestic laws, international obligations, and policies of the United States and do not result in the transfer of individuals to other nations to face torture or otherwise for the purpose, or with the effect, of undermining or circumventing the commitments or obligations of the United States to ensure the humane treatment of individuals in its custody or control.

About this word, "home-maker", I think housework definitely is part of it, but I think it also covers taking responsibility for anything that needs doing in the house or for the household.
There appears to be an almost intangible spiritual angle to it though - like the difference between 'house' and 'home', so I'm sure it must be more than just tasks.
Very few if any of these jobs are exclusive to the partnered though so how come single women, even otherwise unemployed single women, never refer to themselves as homemakers?
Single people (along with gay people) tend to disappear from gender-concentrated discussions of housework distribution. I flatted with a woman once (I won't call her crazy on the grounds that I'm not qualified to make that kind of diagnosis) who genuinely believed that being able to cook was a sign of oppression. On her own, she'd have been so unoppressed she wouldn't have been able to feed herself.

Anyhoo, Abe Lincoln was unmarried and slept with his best mate in the Whitehouse but, apparently, that don't make him gay.
Well, he was unmarried before he got married, which was before he entered the White House. I think it's the four kids with his wife that makes him not gay.
Nah... you know what would be a really big deal for me -- a President who is either an atheist or takes his faith far too seriously to pimp it for poll points.
That too. How many public prayers in the last couple of days? That has grated.
I'd also like to be told more about Michelle Obama than where she shops.

May have to wait in line behind this guy, however.
Ah, yes, the Buchanan controversy.
I will happily admit to him being the first (and the last) US president to not be married and live with a male friend. Anything more than that is just people drawing conclusions.
Out of 45 chances are there have already been a few. (Likewise if you think the current one is our first gay Pope, boy...)
Never been a gay All Black, either. But y'know, there is ground between 'completely straight' and 'gay'.

You need to explain to him that he needs to shave it off in order to be able to grow proper facial hair later on
I tried this, but with a slight lack of conviction because halfway through I started to wonder if it was true, or if it was one of those myths like 'shaving makes hair grow back thicker and darker' which apparently isn't true despite really appearing to be.
