Show us two things that should never be together.
Me and my ex. Now, of course, she'll probably get pissed that I used her high school yearbook photo.
16:02 is quite honestly delirious.
19:25 loves everyone going to the fifties fair

If you could do anything you want tomorrow, what would it be?
Submitted by Becca-Pink.Same as today. It's not what you do, as much as how you do it. Mostly.
I'm pretty happy with the doing, so the it doesn't matter very much. Mostly.
THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE
IN
OUR OWN COUNTRY!
We
Must Stop This
Immediately
!
Have
you noticed that stairs are getting
steeper
.
Groceries are heavier.
And, everything is
further
away. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was
dumbfounded to discover how
long
our
street had become!
And,
you know, people are less considerate now,
especially the young ones. They speak in
whispers
all
the time! If you ask them to speak up they
just keep repeating themselves,
endlessly
mouthing
the same
silent
message
until they're red in the face! What do they
think I am, a lip
reader?
I
also think they are much younger than I was at
the same age. On the other hand, people my own
age are so much older
than I am. I ran into an old friend the
other day and she has aged so much that she
didn't
even recognize me.
I
got to thinking about the poor dear while I was
combing my hair this morning, and in doing so, I
glanced at my own reflection
well, REALLY NOW
-
even
mirrors
are not made the way they used to
be!
Another
thing, everyone drives so
fast
these
days! You're risking life and limb if you happen
to pull onto the freeway in front of them. All I
can say is, their brakes must wear out awfully
fast, the way I see
them
screech
and swerve
in
my rear view mirror.
Clothing
manufacturers are
less
civilized
these days. Why else would they suddenly start
labeling a size 10 or 12 dress as 18 or 20? Do
they think no one notices? The people who
make
bathroom
scales
are pulling the same prank. Do they think I
actually 'believe' the number I see on that
dial? HA! I would never let myself weigh that
much! Just who do these people think they're
fooling?
I'd
like to call up someone in authority to report
what's going on - but the
telephone
company
is in on the conspiracy too: they've printed the
phone books in such small
type that no one could ever find a number in
there!
All
I can do is pass along this
warning:
WE
ARE UNDER ATTACK!
Unless
something drastic happens, pretty soon everyone
will have to suffer these awful
indignities.
PLEASE
PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE SO WE CAN GET THIS CONSPIRACY STOPPED!
PS:
I am sending this to you in a larger font size,
because something has happened to my computer's
fonts - they are smaller than they once
were.

Fox News caught altering rivals' photos
US television network Fox News has been caught out doctoring images of two rival journalists to make them appear like a pair of ghouls.
Program Fox & Friends dedicated a segment to attacking New York Times editor Steven Reddicliffe and reporter Jacques Steinberg after they questioned the future of the tabloid network's ratings.
But the photographs that Fox displayed of the pair had been digitally altered, making their facial features appear ghoulish, American media monitor Media Matters discovered.
Steinberg's nose and chin was freakishly enlarged, his forehead shortened and his ears made to stick out further than in the original promotional photo featured on the Times website.
Redcliffe's forehead was extensively stretched — pushing his hair further back and making his head appear disproportionately long.
Both men's teeth appear to have been yellowed.
There was nothing subtle about the next photograph Fox ran of the Times pair.
Steinberg, whom Fox labelled the newspaper's "attack dog", had his face superimposed over a French poodle, with Reddicliffe pictured holding the leash.
The Times refused to hit back at Fox, which has a history of being accused of bias and bullying tactics.
Culture editor Sam Sifton, explaining why the newspaper won't respond, said: "It is fighting with a pig, everyone gets dirty and the pig likes it".
The morning before we left Sharon came by with rhurbarb pie she made just for us. She even grew the rhubarb herself! We ate as much as we could, and had enough left over for breakfast in the car in the ferry line the next morning. And that's my little plastic for getting ready to shovel it in. Possibly the best breakfast ever.
We caught the 'red eye' which is the first ferry to the mainland. Left the house around 5:30, parked the car in line and walked over to the inn for coffee. Was disappointed to see they're serving Starbucks (it tastes bitter to me) but ... what are you gonna do? We sat and stared at the water and ferries for a while:
Anyway, anyway, anyway ... the ride is a gorgeous hour of water, islands, hills, trees and strangers to chat with on the ferry. I took one last photo of the Orcas landing nestled in the morning calm. You can see a bit of the reflections through the window. Not a perfect picture, but to me it shows well how the island life was slipping away. Now I'll try hard to remember, recall so that when my life starts going crazy I can float back to the feelings of this most excellent two weeks!
Conversation between 2 dog owners at the park:
Young Person, with no children: Ooo, what a great pug! How old is it?
A Parent*: Um, (Is it 8? 9? 10? What is it???? When the hell does she turn older, and how old is she? Wait, I think I got her the year after I started at that job, or maybe 2 years. Geez, I'll just guess.) I think she's 9. I think?
Young Person, with no children: That's great! Ollie turned 3 on the 20th of June! He's 3 and a few weeks!
Parent: Um, yeah, that's great. ;)
*Okay, ya got me: it's me!.
