What's on your mind today?

I was drunk the other day, and I was thinking about religion. Only then, I could understand why people really believe there is an afterlife. While drunk, I escaped reality and realized that I also wished there was an after life so that I could see my husband again after he or I die because I love him very much, he is my best friend and after 10 years we are still very much in love. (Yes, atheist know how to love too.) I can see how people force themselves to believe this to make death more tolerable.

Well it's a life of unnatural footwear and pain for you.

I need the inch so I can wear heels. If I don't get that inch, I'll be stuck dating a 5'9-5'11 guy whereas I want a 6'-6'5" guy... Without that inch, I'm ruined.
And Tank, yesterday, I found out what the warning was for. I told myself that I wasn't going to run the 5k my church was doing, I was just going to man the water station.... Then a chipper cute guy decided to smooth talk me into it and beat my time by almost 20 minutes... The pain, agonizing pain! But on the bright side, I look like I dropped 5lbs. I HAVE CURVES NOT ROLLS!

Got back from the reptile expo. That was pretty fun. I got a few things for the Hermanator and Thea. Including a Dubia roach colony that I have been wanting for months. No more smelly, chirpy crickets!  . Also got Herman a pinky mouse. Boy did he like that. I have never seen that lizard look so proud of himself.

Barack Obama is going to Darwin and meeting with Atheist leaders.
Surely this hasn't gone unnoticed by those who track Satan's influence on Earth.
B52s and US marines are going to be based there.

On 9 September 1839, HMS Beagle sailed into Darwin harbour during its surveying of the area. John Clements Wickham named the region "Port Darwin" in honour of their former shipmate Charles Darwin, who had sailed with them on the ship's previous voyage which had ended in October 1836. The settlement there became the town of Palmerston in 1869, and was renamed Darwin in 1911.

That's kind of interesting, the harbour named long before Darwin released his great work and his name extended to include the town after his death.

Cool! Thanks for that, Magic Pudding.

Well, today is my 16th birthday, and I'm currently celebrating it in bed with a concussion. How wonderful...

I assume you took a tumble from your horse?

Thanks. No, I was turning out a friend's horse in the field and he turned and kicked me in the back which sent me headfirst into the fence. I have a perfect hoof shaped bruise on my back though, maybe I'll get it turned into a tattoo before it fades

Horses; just enough brains to be dangerous!

Is not their brains that we lumps of clay worry about... Seems like every time I am around horses, they crap. And then they kick the crap around. And I ALWAYS happen to be right behind 'em when that happens. 

That, and they have teeth. Many teeth.

I once had a horse fart in my face blowing small pieces of horse poo into my eyes and mouth

Okay, I have to admit, that is pretty gross. But about the whole  stepping in it thing, you get used to it after a while

Aren't you guys taught the gun is always loaded and the horse always kicks?
OK so kicking isn't always the problem, but the gist of it is don't trust them.

I really have never trusted this horse, but he was facing me when I let him loose. I was taught to always face the horse towards the gate before you let them loose. I turned to let myself out the gate and he whipped around before I could do anything. I knew he was a kicker, but I tried to keep myself safe. I think it was just something that I couldn't have done anything to prevent it.
