Women/girls who wear below the waist pants with fat oozing out over the top because they have a too short too tight top on as well - ugh.  Tramp stamp tattoos.  Bed head hair on men that just looks pretentious.  Big black glasses on men who are way too good-looking - also pretentious.   Big baggy shorts on males over the age of about 12.  Baggy gangster pants on anyone.  Uggs boots on anyone over age 5 unless they are indoors.  Big tattoos on the neck.  Face piercings - and any kind of other body piercings - triple ugh.  Long acrylic fingernails, especially the kind with rhinestones embedded in them.  Hair extensions.  Hideous facelifts, collagen injected puffed up lips and botoxed faces.  So  many other things... but I  must stop listing!

Edit - No offense to anyone who likes any of the above fashions.  There is no accounting for taste, not my own and not anyone else's.  It's all just opinions :)

I can forgive but I don't forget.  And forgiving someone doesn't mean you want the person back in your life - I think it's usually best to just divorce yourself from people you've been burned by.   Especially if it was more than once.

Why spend time with people whose company you don't enjoy or that you don't trust?  You don't have to stay angry, but you don't have to stay connected either - you can just go your separate ways.

Like hell it is.

[Error: unknown template qotd] I don't remember who first lead me here, six or seven years ago - I think it may have been a total stranger on CafePress in a forum. 

Before LJ, I was blogging on my own domain for several years, but using LJ was a lot easier so I stopped making a new page myself every day with Dreamweaver and deleted all that old stuff from the 90s.  Anyway, yada yada, onward we go.

And I don't have a problem with other social media sites as some people seem to here - LJ is good for some things, and other systems are good for other things. 

Facebook is fun in some ways and I have old friends there who are pretty technically challenged and only recently even became able to use the web at all for anything resembling "social media."  So it's fun to see them there after trying to explain the internet to them for 15+ years and mostly getting blank looks in return.  At long last they have the beginnings of a clue. :)

Same with Twitter - I don't like the format it posts to LJ in so I don't read those posts from people here, but I have no problem at all with the concept of that kind of public IM system. 

I joined Twitter in 2006 but just started using it more lately and I am enjoying some of the people and sites I'm following there - and it takes no time at all to skim through the feed. 

Plus there are apps like Tweetdeck that display both FB and Twitter feeds with replies shown as well, and that makes it even faster to skim though both at the same time.

LJ takes a lot more time to even skim through my FL, and I end up only really reading a few people closely here anyway.

Long reply but there you have it. :)

[Error: unknown template qotd]I'm not religious - all the religions have theories about who and what god might be and what he or she or it thinks and wants (if anything) and what happens when we die, but it's all just theories and opinions.

There's actually quite a bit of evidence for reincarnation and/or "life after death" though... so I am inclined to think our energy does not get dispersed but stays in some kind of cohesive state as a soul and maybe some souls come back and maybe some don't.

I guess we shall all get the answer when we die - or maybe not.

It's a mystery. :)

[Error: unknown template qotd] I'd like to go back to see what was happening right before The Big Bang.

I am assuming we won like, 100 million dollars ....

I'd do the cruise around the world first for three months, then come back and do good deeds and all that.   

As I was doing the good deeds for others, I'd also be buying for myself (and Joe) a 150 year old cottage in Mendocino, a 400 year old canal house in Amsterdam, a 150 year old Victorian in SF, a 400 year old house near the Jardin in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and a Craftsman cottage in Ashland, Oregon near the theaters.  Maybe a house in Taos too... six places would be a good number, so we could spend two months a year in each place.  

Doing good deeds all the while of course and being a very generous patron of the arts. :)

We could also buy Rachel a place to start her own animal shelter... I know she would love that.  A place out in the country near our Mendocino or Ashland houses perhaps, where she could have horses and dogs and cats and any other animals she wanted.

A girl can dream anyway.

[Error: unknown template qotd] My only resolution, as always, is to make no resolutions.  And yes, I will stick to it!

In the meantime, I have been upstairs at the neighbors' annual New Year's Day brunchy, and have had too much champagne.

I came downstairs to wait for the landlord to show up and see about the bathroom sink.

If he does not show up soon though, I will go back upstairs and have more drinks.

I rarely drink, but I just feel like it today for a change!

Later... the drinks and food were good.  I did not get even the least bit tipsy in reality - just got a headache, which is par for the course for me.

The landlord arrived around four and fixed the sink.

All is well.

And tomorrow is, another day.

[Error: unknown template qotd]I'd rather live on a mountain with a view of the ocean. 

Or on a beach with a view of some mountains.

I don't like pumpkin pie. It's not really disgusting to me, but I won't eat it.
