Poor Urho has no knees. Obviously he won't be hopping around like a grasshopper any time soon. His chant sounds similar to "Lady bug, lady bug fly away home".

Some decades my hair will grow halfway down my back. Then other decades it won't grow below my shoulders. I have finished wondering why that happens. It just is. I am currently in the shoulder length hair again.

Oh. I'm a contrarian, much to my dismay, and I will not do something if someone says I should do it. It's an awful trait to have and I'm certain I have missed out on some marvelous things in life because of it. My husband understands me and knows to tell me how much he likes something - which peaks my interest - instead of telling me I should do something. I know it's a control issue and so does he and I am much more inclined to do something when a person tells me why they like something instead of insisting I do such and such. I just thought perhaps you were like that and had held off reading that book because of it.

So, are you a contrarian? Won't read something others recommend to you? I assure you that this book is well thought out with an excellent plot and a redemptive arc. It affected me as a teenager and I have read hundreds (thousands?) of books since then and it is still my most favorite book I have ever had the fortune to have read.

My favorite book is 'The Count of Monte Cristo' by A. Dumas. I have yet to see a true movie version of the book. But the Guy Pierce version is the absolute worst because they changed the ending. Absolute sacrilege!

What about hot springs? Surely, if you are in the U.S. you could find a hot spring to enjoy?

Does anyone else think Frankenstein's monster's ear was sewn on backwards?

That is the saddest 'house' I have ever seen. Certainly not what I would describe as 'homey'. Makes me feel like it was built for surviving a zombie attack and a nuclear war which just increases the depressive feel of the place.

Yep, I got the same message. I have a mac, do you? Because it might be a 'mac thing'.

That chicken couldn't hold that coffee unless the inside of the chicken had a lining or a cup to prevent the coffee from leaking out and dribbling all over the guy and the ground. I do not believe that bird is leak-proof. Plus it's messy as heck.

If 'Lassie' is a stray dog then I hope someone adopts it so it can have a good home with a loving owner.

My first year living in Louisiana my next door neighbors invited us to their New Year's party which consisted of them getting totally, falling down drunk and then bringing out their hand guns and rifles and shotguns and firing them all into the air. Not to mention the fireworks and sticks of dynamite blowing up everywhere. Never again.

I had heard from somewhere (probably my stupid brother) that we should never touch our tongue to metal when it was cold out for fear of becoming stuck and eventually dying of starvation. I mentioned this to Linda (my friend) and as we walked down the road passing parked cars at the curb she decided to prove that caution false. So she stuck out her tongue and touched it to the side of a car and she got stuck.
It was fascinating to watch her go through the motions of trying to un-stick her tongue. Pulling away didn't work. Crying didn't help. Neither did screaming. However, drooling worked along with very heavy breathing onto the cold metal of the car. Linda yanked her tongue off the car, wiped her mouth of the bloody spit and we continued on our way to school. She would live to see another day.
All I could think of was 'better her than me'.
