Heather talks about public tantrums (from kids) on today's Momversation.
- Bedtime, Leta lingering defiantly in the hallway. Jon: "If you want fart stories, you better get in bed RIGHT NOW."
- RIP Louis Mortimer Armstrong: http://bit.ly/1R4tv6
- Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.

henryk_,
me and the loverly anna honeymooned down there on your little island and found it to be quite smashing. everything about australia seemed to suit us yummy. granted, it might have been our love for each other frothing about and colouring the environment. but i still think the people we met & the places we drank in NSW and Victoria were the best in the world.
And i'll brook no argument on this subject. Ok, maybe a little.
Discuss...

Greenthumb- LA got all your rain. I was getting my hair cut at Xmas and the salon blacked out and flooded during a thunderstorm. It was freaky, since there's only been 3 thunderstorms in the history of Los Angeles.
Lawbrat- I feel you, Pittsburgh was 22 today. Blech.

Lawbrat- And what's up with 6 months of coldness per year in some parts of this country? Dammit, this is America!

Ok, so listen I doubt anyone recalls me mentioning this before, but I seem to be on some kind of calling list for Christians against gay marriage. They are trying to get a bill passed to ban it, and of course throw things like ant child molestation and such in there so people will pass it.
So whatever, whenever they call I act all stupid or call them republicans (hey, they Cheney girl is a LESBIAN, and you voted for them!! To which they say *that* is not the issue)
SOOOO, now I have their # on caller ID and actually called them back and played stupid for 3 minutes...."whos on first?".
If you should feel the need to tell some Christians who probably watch lesbian pron when their wives are out playing bridge feel free to call 800-394-2611.
Unless of course your anti-gay. Well, then you can suck it. I say live and let live sons a bitches.
But I am against all child molestation.

LOL. I told her to tell them that they should....well, I can't mention what I told Striz, because popping zits and peeling skin is WAY differnt than bleeding arses.
I'm going to hell. But at least I will be in non-judgmental company.
612. kristine said:
When someone from a christian group (and don't get me wrong. I loves me some God and Jesus) but when they leave an open-ended question like,
"What do you think about gay marriages?"
I CAN GO FOR DAYS with the sarcastic lines.
613. Henryk_ said:
seannarae, I am glad to hear you enjoyed your stay here. Yes, your marital circumstance may have 'coloured' the environment, but we Aussies are generally a easy going lot. But then, when I visited your shores in California, Nevada, I was treated in a mighty neighbourly way. I did come across some less than pleasant members of the population and I am sure that the same may just as easilly happened here. The secret is to look past the nasty and obnoxious and look to the better things that are all around you! Next time, go to the Barossa Valley in South Australia if you want to explore Australia's wineries, or go west young man and sample the fruit of the wineries of Margaret River over in Western Australia. (So endeth the spiel on the some of the finer things here in oz)

My 3rd grader came home one day and said, "Mom! Michael Jackson used to be black! We found a book in the library! He was in there! Being black!"

Thanks, HenryK_ - did not realize you were from that Great Southern Land. Cheers!
616. mrtl said:
Too funny, Susie! Was an explanation requested?
617. kristine said:
OMG SUSIE!
That is GREAT! being black. hee hee.
618. lawbrat said:
Spurious Plum # 604... Im so with you on that one. By the end of winter, cold just gets on your last nerve.
Susie #614...OMG too funny
619. Susie said:
She wanted to know, how does somebody do that, mom? Ya got me. Ask me where babies come from, ask me where people go when they die, I'm on top of all that. But I do not know how a cute little black kid grows up to be that person on the news every night.
I think it really is hard for children to believe that he was black.
620. Torrie said:
Susie, that's awesome. You can't write stuff that funny.
621. Susie said:
That's true, Torrie. Having a kid is the best entertainment ever.

Matt,
It's not that I agree with the bulk of your statements which Heather so graciously pleathered all over her site [see, Heather's "very secure" about who she is-- that she has to rebuke everyone who disagrees with her by way of transcribing the poster's entire work history and indentity. Just Heather's way of maintaining integrity.], but yeah... that Heather woman [or man] is horrid ain't she?
She had made a comment about being gross as Turkish men having nasty pimply backs...kind of as a joke. I, the half Turkish descended biaatch that I am, took offense and basically emailed Heather about her looks being well, gross...just for "hypocrisy's" sake...that and she really does look like a cross between Madonna and Morrisey.
Well, she ended up doing the same for me as she did for you. So, Matt, you're just...tsk tsk... not entitled to your opinion after all...like Heather wasn't entitled to her's before she got canned.
Word.

My 6 year old wants it to be cake. He is always right. Never wrong. Its SO cake. :-)

Well, so much for having a hate-free day.

628. Susie said:
Cake it is, then lawbrat. Let's all have a slice now, shall we?
Kristine, thank you for that "cake" site you recommended earlier. I wasn't able to leave a comment, but I will. Awesome girl.
629. lawbrat said:
Did someone say poo? My son got pooed on by his bird. I laughed.
630. Susie said:
Have cake, LadyBug. Eating cake is the best revenge.

have you guys tried this? it's CUH RAZY. just wanted to share.

632. Susie said:
Thanks, that was fun, amberlyn. Actually, it was humiliatin'.
633. Susie said:
You guys who've been on blogger for a while, is this common, for it to go wacky and uncooperative like it has been today?
634. Strizzf-ingblah said:
Blogger sucks, but its free. We take what we can get.
635. part-timer said:
susie - yes! blogger has been slow. UGH!
*have not read all comments yet*
636. Susie said:
That's what I figured, just getting what I paid for. I'm glad to see you, Strizz. I was getting scared in here all alone.
637. Closet Metro said:
well said, strizzay. you get what you pay for, and I ain't paying nuttin'
638. Susie said:
part-timer, I tried to leave you a comment, today. Pure glee is pure adorable. And I'm sorry about your friend's disappointment. I went through that too many times, but I do have one (amazing, wonderful) child.
639. une femme said:
Re: all this back and forth nonsense:
Friends and Dooce - Yes, you know who I am. A word to the wise: On Dooce's own website, Ummm... Don't fuck with Dooce!!!! You'll lose. All this back and forth fighting is silly. This is her website. If you don't agree, don't agree. Just let it be. Let's all get along. We're all the same, really. Peace. Out.
640. Torrie said:
Boobasis, this is Heather's site she can say whatever the fuck she wants. I don't understand why if you don't like what you read here you don't just go someplace else.
Heather, unlike you, doesn't post hateful shit on other people's sites.
Funny that even though you dislike Heather you still read her site, otherwise how would you know about the post she wrote about Matt?
Just go away and stop bothering the THOUSANDS of us who Heather brings joy to EVERY DAY.
Oh yeah.....
And....
SUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
641. greenthumb said:
Hey, It looks like Blogger is settling down finally. It's been miserable to be home sick and not have that thing working properly. Comments was so frrrrrustrating.
Hey Susie! Hey Striz!
642. part-timer said:
Susie - Thanks so much!
643. Susie said:
hey, greenie! you're welcome, part-timer.
yea, it was frustrating this morning; I read a lot of funny, interesting, moving stuff, and wasn't able to post many comments at all.
644. greenthumb said:
I know, and all I wanted to do was tell Bucky that she looked like a bad ass in the self portrait. But Noooo, not gonna happen...oh wait...but I could now though.
(greenie runs across to other side of monitor to click on B4E)
645. greenthumb said:
still denied....what is this? is this going to be par for the course with this thing?
Might have to find a new way to host blogs reliably.
646. Susie said:
greenie, today is my one-week blogiversary, and I thought it was all peachy until today. Being a techno-dunce, I must rely on a blogger-type service that does pretty much everything for me, except write the words and take the pictures.
647. greenthumb said:
well, since it's free, I guess we're stuck together in that one. I do wonder sometimes what it takes to host your blog etc like Dooce does here. Seems much more organized much more flexible.
648. Susie said:
This is fabulous. Both Jon and Heather have serious skillz in this area. I did come across a blog today where the lady was hiring someone to come in and do a personalized blog overhaul for her. I'm sure it can all be had, for a price.
I hope you're feeling better, little bro. I think I'm gonna call it a night. 10:30 here in the east. Hugs:)
649. greenthumb said:
tootles Susie..thanks again for the awesome comments today. really was a boost.
650. kristine said:
I LOVE IT when we don't reply to the trolls. I bet they are sitting here hitting (or rocking) the F5 to see what people say.
When we say SUCK IT, it means, nice try buddy...we don't have time for people like you.
Of course when I hear Suck It! my pee-pee tingles!!
651. Nilbo said:
Heeheehee I love that (almost) nobody took bobasis's bait. It's really the only way to deal with that kind of person.
652. Kevin said:
And they say 'art is dead'.
653. One of many gay dooce fans said:
Hey Dooce, I've been a fan since your days in LA. I was disappointed when you called the asshole in your 08 March 2005 post a homo. After having a gay roommate and all in LA, I wouldn't except you to use that derogatory word - especially when there are so many others to choose from.
654. Nilbo said:
Kristine ... blogger won't let me comment on your blog, so - and I'm sorry to distract from dooce's blog, but I sense she won't mind - may I say that the March 7 entry was just about the most touching, thoughtful, life-affirming, positive piece of writing I have read for years? Thank you for putting life into such clear perspective ...
655. RyanH said:
Who is "they" that says "art is dead". If anything, I think, more things are being labelled "Art" than in the past.
Oh well, I was just curious.
It's a nice brick cake, anyways.
656. brian said:
greenthumb...
To host your own blog, you need:
1. domain name (~$9/year @ godaddy.com)
2. Web host (~$4/month @ godaddy.com)
3. blogging software (free if you use Movable Type - which Heather uses, though she's customized quite a bit -- or WordPress)
Can get a bit technicial, but it's reasonably easy to learn if. Movable Type takes about 30 minutes to setup and works nicely in its standard configuration -- though without the bells & whistles of dooce.com

A man walks into a bar one day and says to the barkeeper 'you will give me a free beer if I show you something amazing' and the barkeeper said 'okay!' so the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a 12 inch piano and a 12 inch pianist and the pianist starts playing on the piano 'that's amazing!' said the barkeeper 'how did you get him?' 'well' said the man 'I have a friend who's a genie and he granted me a wish!' 'wow!' said the barkeeper 'can I see him?' 'yeah sure! he's right here with me!' said the man and so the barkeeper wished for a million bucks and suddenly a load of ducks come through the door one by one a load of ducks! 'what's going on?' said the barkeeper 'well' said the man 'the genie is deaf! so he hears things differently!' 'well what did you wish for?' said the barkeeper 'well I certainly didn't ask for a 12 inch pianist!' said the man!

That's a classic Henryk.

Kaiasmom......the start of a beer belly, and at your age!

Yeah, it was a polite was of saying I have heard that one before. Many times. A classic.

ok.....no more from me then!

681. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
:-) It was part of the butts for butterflies campaign. I had to do it - for the love of Leta!
And I wanted everyone to see my ass.
682. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:
Yeah, I went through withdrawal yesterday. I didn't know what to do with myself at work. When there is no Dooce comments section, I actually have to work. And that sucks.
683. kel-bel said:
yeah I know what you mean. I actually checked a couple of times to see if maybe they had opened up - talk about addicted. I'm considering rehab.
684. Alli said:
You've got some kinda phone there. Honestly though, I am looking to use something like that in my book. You should email me, Heather.
That is all.
