[talikat]

Eeew. No no no!!

Why 'Eeew'?

A flight cancelled, and this one delayed two hours...

Chicago, please let me go.

So today a classmate of my daughter's told her she wanted to go buy a new exact knife so that she could cut herself and that she also wanted to cut her wrists. She is 12. My daughter told the teacher. The girl later thanked my daughter.

I don't know what this girl is going through, but I hope she gets the help she needs.

 

[imemkay]

That's so sad, imemkay. Awesome that your daughter sought out adult help.

Very sad and scary. So young to have to deal with such heavy stuff. She texted my daughter a couple of hours ago and said she thought things would be ok. I guess her parents didn't have any idea what was going on until the school called them. So, hopefully things will be turning around for her.

Give your little one extra hugz and lovinz - she probably doesn't fully comprehend just what a difference she made in that kid's life. No kid should though, not at 12.

[Wild_Honey_66]

There I am!

Took me a minute to find the water.

 

[midwestyankee]

Heathens^ Look how fucking small the Wine pipe is.

Apparently the pipeline for Scotch was too large for the graphic. It would be an embarrassment to Big Oil.

 

[pete]

Let alone the windscreen washer industry! You guys must really dig squeaky clean screens, huh.

screens?
speak american, lady!

Majestic Libraries

Why are these incredible buildings never mentioned in travel books or tripadvisor?

I could spend days and days wandering through these wondrous places, running my fingers over the spines as I read the titles, finding something intriguing and taking it to a quiet corner, to fall magically lost in the pages.
Enchanted by words, unaware of the hours drifting away, I'd be barely tethered to the real world by the faint smell of old paper and texts, and the solid floor under my arse, as I sit cross-legged in my quiet space amongst the stacks.

You and me both, Em.

I am told there's a pretty rad library in Manchester, UK as well.

Looking forward to checking out your link.

I was fortunate to spend a bit of time at Trinity College, pictured in Em's post is The Long Room. When I visited public movements were restricted to the cordoned walkways you see in that image. It is full of ancient texts and smells just as you imagine it should. Trinity College over all, is just one of the many gems Ireland has to offer.

sounds like an unforgettable time

I kind of hate it that he still gets to me the way that he does. it makes me feel weak, and... perhaps a bit foolish, even. a part of me looks forward to the day when i can see him and think, 'meh.'

there will be relief- but there will be sadness as well.

Two summers ago I saw my very first-ever crush, Mary P from the seventh grade, at my X5th high school reunion. We smiled at one another, did a brief how-have-you-been-its-great-to-see-you hug, and some of the weak knee thing came back for a bit. Some of this stuff never really goes away. It's decent evidence that you're human, in my view.

I suppose I have become accustomed to believing that emotions are something I always have in excess.

Thank you, yank.

We all do. It's just that most guys have an internal mechanism that turns emotions into arterial plaque that kills us by the time we hit 60.

Please don't do that.
