Muffyn

My praymate costume was quite a hit last night. I handed out bible verses regarding harlots, whoredom or from Song of Solomon. I explained to people how I was a wanton woman – I am willing to hold hands with men without being engaged; I offer side hugs but occasionally slip a little toward a frontal hug; I wore a Henley style shirt with snaps on it, leaving the possibility for it to open farther and potentially defrauding people by having them consider my chest rather than my countenance. After the patty we went to a local club. The costume made it easy to talk to people since I handed out the bible verses and we had some very interesting discussions. There were a few people who did not want to engage with me so I just moved on. No one was offended since I was representing a rather extremist view. Any Christians at a bar on Halloween would not be adhering to Duggar level beliefs. I probably should have jumped in the shower when I got home. Instead I went right to bed. Didn’t even really wash my face. So I woke up with a smeared clown face and my hair looking like a bird’s nest.

This episode was a little up and down for me. It did feel a little slow in the middle. I realized how little 10K normally speaks when I was almost shocked to hear his voice in this episode. If I heard him and didn't see him, I wouldn't know who it was. Keith Allan did do an excellent job of showing Murphy's fear and vulnerability at the end of the episode. Our blue friend showed his humanity.

I guess I read the debate coverage differently. I felt like Stephen was on the side of the moderators and was exposing some of the general douchebaggery of the candidates. As supposedly presidential material, I hate seeing the candidates try the yell louder and be the biggest jerk method of deflecting questions. It would have been nice to see some TCR-like or TDS-like flashes to the candidate websites or prior interviews. However I still didn't feel like Stephen was agreeing with the candidates bashing the moderators. As far as Seth McFarland goes, I wish he would just go away. He got his own interview, then he was part of Neil's interview and finally he sang. It's a trifecta of suckage. I guess he has enough money that he could make his album happen. There is certainly no good reason for it to exist. Nice vanity project. f I had known how McFarland focused this episode would be, I would have skipped it.

Candice gave the models her eyebrows. D’oh! When the judges commented in the makeup and eyebrows there was a great cut to Candice. I see Edmond’s long black dress with the long sleeves and the ruffle coming back as a short, sleeveless dress. He may even open up the back. After all, Heidi wants sexy and to her that means skin. I did love his middle dress. I actually agreed with the judges on Ashley’s collection. It wasn’t exciting but the biggest problem was the fit and details. Learn to sew in a hidden zipper, hide the bras, and correct the fit. The non-lace top looked three sizes too big for the model. She never should have included that in the mini collection. Am questioning my own taste level but I found the purple lace outfit so sexy. I can’t say I would wear it but I do appreciate having plus size women shown celebrating their bodies rather than hiding them in shame. I found it weird that Candice was filmed at Ocean Beach. At the start of the season, we saw her rather pricey house on the peninsula. It felt like they were trying to remake her image as the poor kid trying to make good. She may well have had a difficult upbringing but from what we saw at the beginning, it seems she is doing okay.

I know I was supposed to feel sorry for Janice when she had her panic attack and was gasping for air. However, first I enjoyed her snapping at the “therapist”, “Don’t you know how to stop a panic attack?” Even in crisis she is on the attack. Second the visual of Janice with her over-plumped lips gasping for air made me think of a fish out of water. I really wanted them to try to dunk her head in a bucket to help her breathe. I’ll let myself out. “Dr.” Jen should have just stopped talking when she said, “Joe is a tool.” No reason to say anything after that. She summed it up so succinctly. And Joe, sorry, partner abuse does not count as “rapper stuff”.

FPP also recently attempted suicide by walker but in true FPP fashion he was unable to effectively commit.

At least there's some consistency. The character Beverly often made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

Gunnar is so damn creepy. How could he wake up with that horrible hair still in place? Is his hair possessed? How can it stand up after a night of sexy times?

My birthday is near Labor Day. I would get school supplies. My eldest brother’s birthday is near Halloween, so he would get extra candy. My sister’s was in mid January, so she would get the “one of your Christmas presents was also your birthday present”. My other brother has a July birthday. He would actually get a present. So basically three out of four of us were always overlooked for our birthdays (and cranky about it – like I wasn’t going to get school supplies if it wasn’t my birthday. Sheesh!). My niece was born the day after Christmas. I always send her flowers specifically for her birthday. It is also more clear that it’s a birthday gift since I don’t celebrate Christmas. Her boys all have April birthdays. Even though they’re close, she always makes sure to celebrate each child’s day. Also, she was raised Jehovah’s Witness so her parents did not celebrate Christmas in a fun way and did not acknowledge her birthday. Her non-JW relatives always forgot her birthday since it was so close to Christmas, so she feels it’s really important to make each of her son’s feel special for their birthday. Seems to be working. They are great kids.

I assume Terry and Heather would try any treatment as long as they can do it on camera. Anything for more camera time.

I took one traditional cruise on princess about 20 years ago. We did the inside passage (Alaska). I had a great time, but my friend and I were definitely the youngest people on the ship. At that point, the entertainment was aimed at people older than us, so we skipped most of it. However, the scenery was incredible. It is an easy way to get to places that are otherwise very hard to see. And we enjoyed all of our shore excursions. Neither of us had any problems with seasickness. Most of the time we were in the passage where the waters tend to be calm. More recently I have taken a river cruise on the Amazon. The ship held 24 passengers. I had a great time. We slowly worked our way down the Amazon, stopping at small villages along the way. The food was good, not great. The crew was wonderful. I still exchange music with one of the guys. I also took a small ship cruise to Panama and Costa Rica. We toured the small islands of Panama and went through the canal. Seeing the canal on a smaller ship was really special. We talked to the crew that comes on board to take the ship through. We were in the locks on one end with two small sail boats. On the other end, we shared the lock with a banana boat, which led to a group of us singing various banana-related songs. We saw one of the really large cruise ships. It barely fit into the lock on its own. It seemed like such a different experience. Being with a smaller group made it easier to interact with people on shore rather than feeling like we were gawking. There were still some culturally uncomfortable moments in which I felt the local people were being prompted to perform for us. My favorite cruise was to Antarctica. This was on what they call an expedition or explorer ship. The ship wasn’t fancy. The hull is reinforced. There is no casino and there is only one restaurant. We had people from more than 80 countries. Pretty amazing given that there were only 110 passengers. We left from Ushuaia Argentina and crossed the Drake Passage. We hit a major storm. At one point we were at a more than 45 degree pitch. The ship actually has a series of handholds in all of the corridors so you can move from one to the next to get down the hall. There is also a strap from the wall to the bed to keep you from falling out of your bunk. They actually offer you meds on the ship which I took. Never needed them on other trips. We did have a lot of people get sick during the storm. One of the large cruise ships was also caught in the storm. They had so many people injured they had to turn around without making it to Antarctica. The advantage to the small ship was we were better prepared for the storm and the ship is designed to weather it. Also there was such a sense of adventure among the travelers. They ranged in age from mid-20s to upper 80s. And we really got a sense of how hard it must have been for the original explorers to go to Antarctica. I have friends who really enjoy the traditional cruises. While I had a good time in Alaska, I am more of a small ship or other forms of travel person. I will say the big cruises do give you a chance to purely relax on vacation. There are times when that sounds like heaven.

This is comedy gold. It's gold, Jerry, gold! I will purpose to achieve Jill Rodrigues' wounded raccoon look for Halloween. I have to remember not to use my "beauty for whoredom".

I cannot take a heart drug because of hallucinations. So it's not an allergy; it's an adverse reaction. However, whenever I get prescribed something with the same dye in it, the pharmacist reconfirms why I cannot take the drug that's on my allergy list. Of course it's always fun to get to remind them about the hallucinations. It would be quite the ride but it's hard to work when things are flying around. A friend worked on an IT project for a diamond mining company. He was engaged at the time but had not bought a ring. He told his fiancee that, after understanding how the diamond market really works, he did not want to buy a diamond. One sign that they are compatible, she agreed. Chocolate diamonds always make me laugh. They're industrial grade diamonds. LeVian sure found a way to maximize profits.

I've been invited to a friend's Halloween party. I need a low intensity costume under which I can hide a shoulder brace if needed. I'm healing from a pretty intense injury and can't risk being jostled. So I am going as a Praymate, the fundamentalist version of a Playmate. I have my incredibly covered clothing (maxi skirt, boat neck top, flat shoes (can't wear flipflops, sorry Duggars!)) and my bunny ears and tail. I plan to wear the tail ridiculously high so as to not defraud anyone by drawing attention to my ass. I'll pile on the makeup and curl my hair. After all, I need to bring attention to my countenance. I also have a few simple cross necklaces, and I'll be handing out bible verses. I am really looking forward to this.

that's why Vicki freaked out about the family vaaaaaaaan! She was having flashbacks to an orgy she had attended in a family van. It featured multiple couples, a kiddy car seat and cheerios they picked up from the floor. She became intimately aware of how much room is available in a van since she got freaky in every row of seating and the cargo area.

Those embryos are part Terry. So we would have the spawn of Satan raised by Satan Andy. What could go wrong? That would portend the coming of the apocalypse. From your fingers to Satan Andy's eyes! I too would much rather see scenes like this. Enough with the faux drama. If Brooks hit on Brianna it was probably from behind, thinking it was Vicki. After all a pregnant Brianna is likely to have her clothes fitting too tightly when she is in, let's say, expansion mode. Material stretched precariously across a wide ass - from behind, I would think it was Vicki. She likes her clothes half a stitch from exploding.

So Jim . . . Jim Edmonds acquitted himself well on the reunion or at least much better than he did on the show. The problem is whenever I see him I think "Jim . . . Jim Edmonds." It really slows my ability to listen to him. It occurred to me during this not-so-thrilling reunion how much I just don't really care about any of this. It has been a dull season and a dull reunion. Heather is building a house, Tamra exists, Meghan is in a potentially terrible marriage, Shannon gave herself a colonic and an enema, Brooks may or may not have cancer, Briana hates Brooks, Brooks hates Briana, Vicki is drugged to the teeth, Muffyn is ready to snooze. The only thing I found interesting was how twitchy Brooks was in his interview.

The first walker that approached the pet shop seemed to have Daryl's hair. When you reach the point that the walkers look less gross than you, take a shower, Dixon! I am now convinced we have Schrodinger's Glen, neither dead nor alive until some final move is made.

I agree; Max showed that he really doesn't see Helen for who she is. He is seeing the idealized version of her that he has coveted since college. I would say it was sweet of him to set aside time to see her after her morning in court, it was very much about him and his desires. He assumed she would want to have sex with him. After all he set aside 60 minutes for sexy times and 10 minutes for gift giving. Sure, I'd love a trip to Brazil, but I am not taking care of four (effed up) kids. Helene is in the middle of an ugly divorce. Running off for a week with her new "paramour" (I could listen to Richard Schiff say that over and over - oh wait, I did!) would not play well in court. While I certainly don't condone Helen picking up her kids while drunk and stoned, I understand how it happened. She thought she had the day to herself. She got drunk and more stoned than she planned to. Next thing you know, everything spiraled out of control. I enjoyed how Maura Tierney played drunk and trying to pull off her Spanx, especially the way she hunched over and danced on one foot. Let's just say I've enacted a similar scene recently, only fortunately no one was filming. I can assure you that dance was pretty damn accurate. As always, i am amazed that Noah is an asshole even in his own recollections.

A person I later worked with carpooled with Ted Bundy. said he came off as a really nice guy. Creepy.

I purpose to attend (unless the devil enters me through alcohol again).

A few years ago I had a senior cat that had a really bad tooth infection. We had to switch him to eating baby food. I was at Target buying mass quantities of chicken and turkey baby food. I did not have the time to create my own. A woman looked at me, sneered and said, "Your baby needs to eat more than meat. They need fruits and vegetables too." I told her, "My 22 year old cat doesn't care for strained peas." Stopped that conversation right there.

Josh can slyly molest one sister every three months. Josh has 9 sisters. How long will it take Josh to molest every one of his sisters? If Josh only molests sisters that are at least 4 years younger than him and two of his sisters are closer in age to him than that, how long before Josh can molest all of the sisters he wants to? For extra credit, explain how over the clothes touching is no big deal and how this is the girls’ fault. How much time should each girl spend in the prayer closet to atone for their sin of tempting their brother?

To be fair, Lebanon bologna is different than regular bologna. It's more like a salami: http://www.seltzerslebanon.com/?gclid=CMuK26DK0cgCFYhcfgod6f8HUw All of this talk of canned vegetables is making me queasy. At least I am learning that my mother wasn't the only atrocious cook out there.

Also, pasties that go on your nipples are pronounced like paste-ees. Cornish pasties are pronounced as past-ees. Just trying to help HFC out.
