Wash ,'War Stories'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
it's sorta' like those fish that nibble off dead skin on people's toes....
Sorta, except NOT. It's more like the difference between clipping your nails and having an amputation done.
It's sort of horrifying, but WAY LESS SO than a person doing it!!!
His dog ate a rotting piece of him. How is this "sort of"? Who are you people?
Yes, it is worse if his best bud leaned over and snapped it up. But that doesn't make it not gross that Fido did.
OK, this argument is gross.
this argument is gross
Not if you're Jesse or tommy, apparently.
WEIRDOS.
ita, you're almost making me long for our necrophilia argument (and I'll remind everyone here that it was I who was anti).
We've discussed grosser things. Possibly even this month. But not many.

Hellooooo. placenta ! For real.
I'm on the side of not so gross, like when it's better to leave maggots to eat the flesh in your rotting wound so the infection doesn't spread. It's sort of healthy, when the other option is spreading rot?
My mom's kinda micro-managing what I'm going to wear to the funeral. She said she's happy to spring for a new outfit and shoes but I'm here without a car and my knee is still blown out so I can't bike very far. Situations like this instantly illustrate the difference between Berkeley and South Pasadena - even without a car, I could get to any number of malls, quality fabric stores, etc. A 5 block walk to BART or a bike ride within 5 mi of my house would do it. No such luck here (If I were as svelte as I was up to my mid-30s I might have a little more luck. There are one or two boutiques in a 5 mi. radius of here but nothing plus-sized and good.)
I don't want my mom to buy clothes/shoes for me anyway. So this am I went out to the garage to sort through my sewing-related moving boxes. I had not even moved a box yet when I somehow managed to pull a muscle between my spine and scapula. Possibly by sneezing. I know it could be worse, but between the RSI, the blown-out knees (the other is going because of having to pick up slack), the back problems, etc, I'm really wishing I had a body that worked half-decently. I eat pretty healthy, I exercise, what's the deal?
Found the pattern I had in mind. Didn't find enough stash fabric in a good color/weight so I'd need to go fabric shopping. No car. The nearest Jo-Ann's is a disaster. I think I'm going to rest all the hurting parts. I've got a black silk chiffon skirt and a burgundy blouse that should be good enough for the funeral. It's not super-formal, but it's not a big faux pas, either.
and I'll remind everyone here that it was I who was anti
Who was pro? Me?
And, uh, it's only slightly weird that I can't remember my position on the issue. I mean, I'm not personally pro. Just, YKINKMV, and all that. Consenting corpses, and what have you.
At least Fido isn't munching on placentas. (That we know of.)
