Wrong. It's a long vacation to a sunny beach with soft sand, golden sun, cool sea, a pitcher of margaritas and a bevy of cabana boys just waiting to do your bidding.

And, apparently, me there to fold your laundry.

(I hope you all know I was kidding with the knocking on doors stuff. As disclosed earlier, I am not actually a Jehovah's Witness. I was just trying to make a point about unpopular causes and the first amendment. And what more unpopular cause than telemarketers and Jehovah's Witnesses?

Apologies if I went overboard.)

notes about giving my dad head.

Was it notes to herself with tips to keep in mind? Notes on how she felt about it? Notes to your dad about when and where? Notes to your dad reminiscing?

This is truly fascinating.

I'm just a wanna-be. You have to get the commercial sweet peanut butter -- with the "natural" crap kind it's kinda gross.

I know you are being fahseashuss about the fascinating part, but it was a note from my mom to my dad about what she was going to do to him later that night. It was dated 1971, so this was pre-kids for them. It was also extemely graphic (or maybe it just seemed very graphic since I was about 13 when I found it).

That's so romantic that they kept it 15 years. I am kind of fascinated, though. The most disturbing thing about my parents' sex life was having a condom drop out of a suitcase I think my dad generally used after my mom had gotten a hysterectomy. I tell myself it was a really old one.

So I went to dinner with a friend this week and we were discussing some growing up thing (hey, much sangria had been consumed, so sue me if I don't remember anymore what it was). Anyway she started talking about God's Eyes. I said "what?" And she looked at me like I just emerged from under a rock. So, I ask you all, did you make these things when you were growing up -- http://www.caron-net.com/kidfiles/kidsapr.html?

If so, what did you do with them once they were made? In other words, WTF.

Wow, am I going to be the only one to say no here?
No, never made one. See a lot of them at arts and craps fairs.
We did other things at camp - plastic lanyards, plaster of paris animal footprints, leather goods, etc.

I made millions of these. I gave them away. I think my mom still has some in her keepsake drawer along with notes about giving my dad head.*

*Which is why I will never, ever, snoop around my parents things ever again.

Been there. Saw the pictures. Confidential note to all you fb parents out there -- if you take sexy pics with your girlfriend and then happen to die, your children might end up sifting through all your personal stuff. Heck, I could have had a bresticle photo for submission after all!

We were kind enough to put the photos in a box with other mementos and return them to said girlfriend. Not sure how embarrassed she was. It has never been discussed.

Hmmm. Very Kind Indeed.

And you could have had the breaticle photo for submission because you .... kept copies?

I won't ask about the other mementos.

Are you less cynical than I am, or do you have nicer parents? I guess it could be both and there could be some kind of cause/effect relationship.

I am cynical and respect my dear Mom's decorating skills. Note that every place I said Mom would hang them was someplace where no one from outside the family would ever really notice them. ("Why, what a lovely god's eye you have tucked on the wall behind the fridge/on the porch behind the lacrosse sticks/ so sorry, PJ's room is closed off because she just left it such a mess!")

For a minute there, I thought you were talking about the PB.

I thought he was talking about TCBing, but only because this is the FB.

No, if I had kept copies, I would have had a submission. They were polariod shots.

Step away from the crack pipe.

I do recognize that the CPSC exists to save people from their own stupidity, a monumental folly that NHTSA has never undertaken.

Unless you count seat-belt regulations....
