I don't know, but it pisses me off to no end.

I agree with the hair grabbing thing...I've never understood why people have an uncontrollable urge to play with my hair. It's my hair, grow your own to play with.

What if I ask real nice??
Personally, having my grandmother constantly stroking my hair as a child was a real turn-off. I don't do it to other people unless we'd both feel comfortable about it. We're talking about UFIH - unsolicited fingers in hair. (DTH, I know you're a Farkette; you get that one?) Thankfully my aversion stops at the unsolicited part, and I like hair and finger play.
My hair is also thick and I think it's a compliment the same way "you're so skinny!" is--or at least was--a compliment. It has to do with the fact that the alternative is kind of...uncomplimentable.

Dood, that's like a delicacy in Antarctica amongst the flightless...!
Now for the salad fixin's...
1. Shredded Cheese of some sort
2. Bac'n Bits rather than Baco's (but that can be a mood thing)
3. Crumbled up hard-boiled eggs
4. Sliced Radishes
5. Grated Carrots
6. Cherry--not grape--tomatoes, or real ones if'n there good
7. Tender, young salad greens (this is really a subclass all its own)
8. Sliced cucumber
9. Croutons
10. Alfalfalfalfa sprouts although bean sprouts will do
11. Catalina or raspberry vinegarette dressing

So, does anybody else just enjoy a good argument between friends sometimes? Cause I was bored and figured eh this will pass the time. So, I started IMing a friend with "so what do you think about the presidential candidates?" (I hate politics and could care less about them overall) Anyway it quickly led to a debate about abortion and really got to passing the time for a while there. Of course a few minor insults were thrown around and stuff, but really it worked like a charm. Kept me awake and passed the time like it was the weekend for a while.
Anybody else argue for fun?

Slow day in the neighborhood?
Howdy everyone. Long, disappointing, crappy, day. But surprizingly I'm very, very happy.
How 'bout everyone else?

Long, boring day. But the weekend is almost here. Which makes me somewhat happy.

I'm not afraid of a good debate, but I don't like it when things get heated. It's so easy for it to turn nasty, especially over issues where one person refuses to even acknowledge the other's POV.
For example: I was recently debating the horridness that is the HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) and other animal rights groups. Now, I'm all for animal WELFARE, but not animals rights. I think HSUS is deceptive in not only their fund raising practices and the allocation of those funds, but also in the major tenets as an organization. My co-worker was at the point that she couldn't concede a single point...even though I am quite right in my suppositions and accusations.
But it did keep things lively for a bit...and we are still friends, so all is good.
Debates are best when people can leave the personal feelings out of it and just have an exchange of information. If you're not out to change someone's mind, but instead discuss an issue from both sides, it's a learning experience for everyone involved. IMHO, of course.

Good cause I think HSUS rocks socks. What do you think of that, huh?
Actually I know nothing about them.

Yo mamma!
And with that, I'm outta here.
