I wonder if that might be a scar of some sort? Maybe from something like a temporary ostomy following a colon resection?

I was given 'the talk' at a pretty young age, but I unfortunately already had some knowledge of sexual activity from previous abuse (which my family never knew about). Since I was abused by a male, that was my reference point, so it was confusing to hear what a man and a woman are supposed to do together. I remember being asked if I had ever experienced an erection, and I said that I had. However, I didn't really understand what an erection was until I got a big surprise several years later when I actually experienced one... 🤣

My great uncle was a minister in a reformed church that used one of the Catachisms - can't remember which one. Whenever we would visit he would ask us, "What is the chief end of man?" and our learned response was "Man's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever". This was many, many years ago, but I still think it was cool that the catechism taught that while there is an expectation of praise, there is also an expectation of enjoyment.

Still trying to figure it out.

Thankfully Covid did not prove to be their Waterloo.

May she west in peace

I have been to Aruba and St. Marten. Aruba has beautiful waters but is quite a dry and arid land. St. Marten is more lush, and you have the advantage of being on an island with two cultures - Dutch and French. PV is a great city that has both touristic and authentic cultural characteristics.

Whoa! Jack the Ripper was Charlie Chan? 🤣

Pele, the Brazilian football superstar died today from colon cancer at the age of 82. 45 years after his retirement from the beautiful game. RIP.

In my pandemic boredom I started decorating my testicles with glitter. Yeah, I know what you're all thinking. Pretty nuts.

@Lazarus - how was that verbose? 😆

A provider ran out, or a client? I'm a bit confused here, which isn't all that unusual.

I'm left wondering who Fran is, and why someone is telling her about Kit's weight issues? "FRAN, KIT'S HUGE!"

I think he may be 79 now?

I think the new decor makes the place look more intimate and upscale. I like the rug because the components of the pattern are not too large, and give balance to the large white coffers of the ceiling.

Unless he put himself through dental school working as a barber.

Agreed - though it is important for people to remember that anyone can say they're 'safe only'. Ultimately only you can protect yourself, and it can be risky to rely on how someone self-identifies healthwise. I'm not suggesting that you don't know this already, but I'm mentioning it in case others may not realize it.

I agree - there is something unsettling about this dog

Good luck with the promotion! And all the best for Christmas and the New Year!

Reports indicate that Stephen 'tWitch' Boss died of a self-inflicted gunshot at an LA hotel. He was the DJ on Ellen for 8 years before the show ended this year. He leaves behind his wife and three children. Such a tragedy for the whole family.

I still think some people would have an issue with him reading anything at all. It's about what he represents, not about what he is reading.

Is he travelling with others? Maybe DavyDallas or KnoxKnottsLanding?

Did you ever think of putting a photo of it on a milk carton? 🤣

I find it interesting how this conversation has morphed from focussing on WHO is reading to the children to WHAT is being read. I don't believe that whether the drag queens are reading something completely secular or not is the point - the point is whether or not the drag queen persona is something that children should be exposed to at an early age. As for KC, regardless of what he is reading, there will still be people who object to his participation on the basis of his vocal faith position. Even if he were to read a store catalogue to the kids, some people would be concerned that he would use the opportunity to proselytize and advance a Christian agenda.
