Wow. Anytime I’m feeling low or down on myself all I’m going to have to do is browse back throught the commentary on Flower Gardening and Throwing Rocks. I can’t remember when I’ve been more touched or heartened by the kind words of others. In your face Ugh!
For those who kindly sugguested it, yes I’ve disabled anonymous posting. Now if people want to be mean to me they have to leave their name and address. An from the number of folks volunteering to stomp Ugh I’m guessing that anyone who does so will suddenly have a mob on his doorstep. It’s probably neanderthal of me, but that makes me feel really glad. I’ll keep this closet over here full of pitchforks and torches just in case. 😉
A couple of you mentioned slightly guiltily that you kind of skimmed Flower Gardening cause you weren’t interested and thus missed your chance to tromple Ugh. Don’t feel guilty. I’m not at all hurt if someone is bored by my ramblings and chooses not to read. Politely going to do something else is very good ettiquette for LJ and for online forums. I do it all the time. There are whole threads in the Schlock forums that I don’t even open anymore because the science goes way over my head or the topic just isn’t interesting. Nothing wrong with that at all.
Well, Patches just wandered down into the office chanting “num-num” while chomping on a birthday candle. I suspect this means I need to get back upstairs and see how he managed to get his hands on a candle in the first place. I’m guessing Gleek is the culprit which means I need to go find out what ELSE she might have been feeding her baby brother.
Thanks again everyone.

Oh dear. I thought Wen was the only person who chomped on birthday candles. But Pirate doesn’t feed Wen strange things. Wen is quite capable of finding strange things on her own to stick in her mouth.
I think all small children are gifted with the magical ability to draw in strange things to eat/drink. I know someone who found her way into the household chemicals of her house when she was little… Likely this is what has caused her poor health ever since.
Awww… poor little kids, obviously they are not being paid enough attention to if they are getting into these things…
Just kidding, my younger brothers always got into things despite my mom’s best efforts, so I can understand.
Heh. Poor little kids? Poor parents who get out manvoured by them. We are out-numbered.
Such as right then. Bah. I told Goose to pick up the pile of clothes by my desk and sort it in to the dirty clothes hamper. Then she asked me if she could have something to drink and without thinking I said she could. So I then look up and see she’s nursing this big glass of milk so she won’t have to sort the clothes.

I think I hate a butterfly as a kid. Whatever you do, don’t ask how that happened. I just have this vivid memory, and this thing about butterfly-shaped objects ever since.
