Good to know!! Not that I’ll ever get one but interesting haha

And glad it’s not just me that freaks out over it!!! idk why stubbed toes hurt so bad but they do!

And OMG!!!! glad you were okay!!!! But wait... the seatbelt would have been bad!?

Now you’re making me worry I shouldn’t wear one

But then again around here practically every accident is a young person that was speeding and not wearing a seat belt and flew out of the car.

We used to see a lot of seatbelt trauma patients (auto accident victims) in the hospital where I worked in FL. Of course the other ones--the ones who didn't have seatbelt injuries--most of them just got taken to the morgue.

I don't know why, but for some reason, my mother found it quite funny when I jokingly mentioned getting a tattoo on my arm or forehead that read "PROUD ROMAN CATHOLIC" a while ago.
What do you think she found funny about it?

I believe the RCC considers tattooing one's body to be a sin. (Or did, at some point. Some other church traditions do/did teach against this also.) There's a prohibition against getting oneself tattooed in the Mosaic law--something to do with pagan worship and maybe mourning rituals. I think that association (not the ink-in-skin for fun & fashion) was the reason for the prohibition. That might be why your mom was amused. Or it could have been the "pride" part of it. That word might seem a little oxymoronic when coupled with a religion that values humility. Or more likely, both. Now I've thought it through, it is kind of funny. (And I'm not even RCC.)

Everyone needs a machete. What ever will you do when you run out of bullets and the zombies are tearing down the door?

Seriously, sharpen your knives. And your machete. I can loan you a couple. One by the bed, one by the door, well, you get the picture.

Zombies??? Forget the machete. Buy more bullets. It's like chickens... If you know how many you've got, you haven't got enough. (Then maybe get a machete, just in case... )

Ooooohhhh this actually sounds kind of fun!!! I never would have thought you could make walking to and from a grocery store sound like fun but you have! I think my mom actually used to walk it sometimes so surely it’s fine! It’s just a LONG walk. I might die

Maybe I’ll pop into the gas station for a water

Remember -- always carry something to fight with. I can unclip my fanny pack and whip it around, or I can bludgeon someone with my purse. Always carry something that you can use as a weapon. I also have lancets and pen needles in my purse.
I'd like to carry something like a knife, too, but I'm worried that it'd warrant unwanted attention or cause false alarms. I'll just stick to purses, fanny packs, small needles (hey, those things hurt), and brute strength.
Maybe I'm paranoid, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I'd rather be called paranoid than end up in the hospital because some creep assaulted me....
Does this sound defensive? I'm sorry if it does. Should not write posts at nearly two in the morning, I suppose.

I carry a knife. I figure it's a good deterrent, plus also useful for everyday needs such as cutting baling twine. Paranoid is simply another word for prepared ✌

I know -- I never intend to actually get a tattoo, honestly; they're not worth the pain and money.
I didn't know that it was considered a sin by some, though. Thank you for warning me!
I was also being sarcastic when I asked what she found funny -- I knew that it was because of the "proud" preceding "Roman Catholic," when Catholics (or any Christian, really) are taught to be humble....
Ah, well. I'm glad that it amused some people. Keep silly when y'all're in quarantine -- laughter keeps you sane, but don't overdo it! Some people might misinterpret that laughter.

I carry multiple knives at all times but they are not for self protection.

Okay, all caught up, all sleepy, all ready for bed. Good night, y'all. Sleep well.

Do it! Maybe you should make some sweet hummus

I'm 67 pages behind now & it's 01:16 CDT .... Flavors of hummus I've had/enjoyed:
Classic, red pepper, garlic, garlic & herb, spinach & artichoke, chocolate, chocolate & cherry, sarachi carrot, salsa & red pepper, Curry, Curry & salsa, three cheese & jalapeno, avacado & salsa.

So what flavor of "sweet hummus" did you have in mind anyway?

 

[RoosterML]

Excuse me? Well, I never!
Good sir, may I ask for your age? I do believe that I am rather young for you.
You shall not be getting a "nice little picture." With all due respect -- though, in all honesty, I am not sure that very much is due -- good night, sir.

All that and you still sent me a nice little picture!


Even if it was of a chicken
