You don't have a "delete" button? To clarify, not on your keyboard, I mean. As an option on your post window, next to "edit," "reply," and "multiquote?"

Obviously, I have an active imagination. I have an anxiety disorder. I have 30+ years imagining all the horrific, even if highly improbable, ways in which I could die in any given moment. Thank you for giving me a better grasp on reality.

I wasn't talking about the actuality, dear. I was making a joke on the literal consequences of your comment.

Sorry, I didn't know that Hyundai was Kia's parent company. I thought they were entirely separate entities. My bad. I apologize, Msterbeau, for my erroneous comments. It should be obvious that employing an alternate seating position during travel mitigates the effectiveness of a safety restraint system, but we Americans, in general, lack the imagination to elaborate on the eminent. That's why so many of us dangle limbs out the windows of our vehicles, drive with one foot on the dashboard of our car, let our kids sleep sprawled on the back seat, etc. I would think that engineers would have a very difficult time devising a safety restraint system for a forward facing reclining position. The way I imagine it, it positions the longest, heaviest, and strongest bones in one's body (the femurs) directly in front of the torso which houses the vast majority of one's vital organs--all very soft tissues. So, if there were an accident at high speed in which one's vehicle came to a sudden stop, one's knees would ram into the dash sending one's femurs through the pelvis; one would be impaled by one's own legs. The bonus is that a full-grown adult can be buried in a child-sized casket, but the downside is your little organ donation endorsement is bunk. I can't see how any of this would be Hyundai/Kia's fault. The accident wasn't a failure of the safety restraint system. The system was not being employed as intended.

^Sounds like a nasty paper cut.

Msterbeau--it's not a grammatical mistake, but a factual error: per the article you linked, would you please amend the title of this topic so that it says "Hyundai" instead of "Kia?" Thanks.

Green. It's Wednesday.

I could say it was: --the awesome sex I had this morning (thanks, spook! You da bestest!), --or the $10 tip I received from a client (really? No, I can't take this. I'm the cashier. I just sit here until we run out of something or someone makes a mess, but if you insist, sir. THANKS!), --or the marble a guy at my work gave me ("now, don't lose your marble!") --or that I received 4.5 additional work hours today to do mostly nothing, but, no, it was the video in this post that made my day. Now, I need a tomtom.

Spammer--you made my day with that video!

I can't even think of a thirteen word novel, I'm so uncreative lately.

Orange. It's Tuesday.

*hugs* anyway.

That is wonderful!

I think you meant: The similarities between the way my mom and I act are freaky.

twb to spook: I will do anything you want. spook to twb: You will clean the basement? twb to spook: I mean sexually. spook to twb: You will clean the basement NAKED?!

Happy anniversary of your birth!

I belatedly wish Phee and Gaf happy birthdays.

Welcome!

Welcome to the board, Intrinsic.

Which is lame. You can always get the toy without the meal, if that's the issue. I've been doing that for years. How else am I going to pimp my ride?

I am still working on getting my Brownie points. I don't know; I just think that being a good person never goes out of style. Things I've done of which I'm proud: If I have food and I come across someone who needs some, more than I, I give it or share it. I have, more than twice, pulled over to assist people who are stranded on the freeway. I jumped out of a car at an intersection and replaced the gas cap the driver in front of me left on her roof. If I think I see or hear a crime taking place or an uncontrolled fire, I report it, every time. I made a 9-1-1 call following a drive-by. I take lost children to security or store management to help them reunite with their guardians. Drove my car between a man and a charging dog to prevent him from getting mauled.

I thank the birth control pill for helping to revolutionize women's sexuality. It's not perfect. Not only does it have negative side effects, even in the new smaller dosages, but since the hormones present in it do not easily decompose, they persist in the environment and may even negatively impact wildlife--something no one had ever fathomed would be a result even 20 years ago: amphibian populations becoming decimated in areas because frogs are sensitive to hormones and the males morph to females. Still, it did some good. I mean, reproductive control is good. I'll still stick with the condom for now.

I think it's going too far.
