fashion vs hardware

do I spend US$900 on this super sexy jacket, or get an iPad?

comments please!
your vote counts ;-)

**PS: the iPad won by a landslide!
*PPS: new information on old debt (pre-sobriety) just killed any ideas of purchasing either, though.

i laughed so hard

whilst faffing about on Twitter, I thought I recognized the name of a city where a Twit-buddy lives. thinking it's the one at the one end of Kaohsiung MRT's orange line, I checked out the Maps app link, and asked for directions.
turns out the city is on mainland China.

but the driving instructions are very precise! check out step #2¹for an abdominal exercise with a smile!

Joel Burns reaches out

... and I hope many more will stand up for the cause of love and acceptance.

If your child, or a child you know of, is self-identiefied or even perceived to be lgbti - PLEASE reach out to him/her in love and acceptance. Even if you do not understand it yourself - does that matter when you're saving a life?

And if your child, or a child you know of, is bullying others - PLEASE take action, and save another life - as well as his/her soul. Being - or believing to be the cause of another's death, is also life-threatening and soul destroying.

Lastly, let us all take a moment to remember where children get their ideas from: We are culpable. We are responsible. We form their opinions, their attitudes and beliefs - and however indirectly, we guide their actions.

Did my silence/rashness contribute to someone's feeling of hopelessness?

Did my invisibility contribute to a suicide?

Did yours?

good morning!

I woke up NOT feeling fat!!!
this is going to be a good day :-)

cute, fun, and worth doing for real
