Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Holy shit - airfares to Hong Kong have *doubled* since I last checked (about a month ago). It's looking less and less likely that I'm going to be able to visit my sister this year. Feh.

Now tagless for your comfort.

A bit of personal experience--do not try to remove acrylic nails on your own unless you have access to a large quanity of acetone and some very sharp nail tools.

Ouch.

I hate that I have water babies. I cannot get them to stop frolicking in the toilets.


sarameg - May 28, 2008 5:25:56 am PDT #9321 of 10001

Yeah, I get gallon+ jugs of it from Sally's and soak 'em off.

The nails. Not the toilet testing toddlers.

Though soaking a toddler in acetone might work too.

But prolly not.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Doods! I've lost 8 pounds! Excellent. Um, another 50 to go? Yikes.
