I am the direct descendent of a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

I don't deal with deaths and funerals of even friends and relatives, I don't go or even acknowledge them. I know it seems terribly insensitive, cold, and selfish but I think that all the 19 and 20 year olds that got zipped up in body bags around me when I was that age myself just left a hole in my heart and I can't deal with it.

Riding a manic wave that is big enough to surf on.
I like it, but I am also working so hard in the yard, I'm hurting myself.
Nice thing about being in a manic stage is that pain is pretty much irrelevant.
Gotta run or something or everything,

I'm a cousin of a rather popular third party presidential candidate.

I'm directly related to...Charo's husband, I believe?

I remember as a child hearing I was related to her through marriage and would look out for her character in one of my favourite movies, Tumbelina (she was Mrs. Toad).

LOL, I remember Charo.  "Cootchy, cootchy"  Argentine, I think.

Was that the same Lord Mayor who, during the great fire said that he could piss it out?

Right at this moment, Michele Bachmann is about 4 miles away from me.
I have been told I cannot go there. Gee,...wonder why?  and

Could it be because she has a prettier face? No, No I know what it is, it's because you and she are about 180 degrees out from each other right? See I'm not as dumb as you thought!

Michele Bachmann's face doesn't fall into a category of pretty. Mine does.
In fact, in person, she is quite hard to see behind the 20 lbs of wrong makeup, that she wears.
Clowns wear less makeup, and use it better.
It is quite amazing to see sunlight penetrate the layers and allow you to see what is underneath. *shudder...
She can't hide the perpetual scowl she wears when she thinks the cameras are off.

Yes, Yes it is because we are 180 degrees apart, but she is 180 degree from human.
She seems to have severe psychological disorders, when it fact it is that she is simply void of any kind of humanity.
Consider the fact that her husband Marcus runs a gay reparative therapy business that has produced quite a few suicides.
And that doesn't seem to bother either of them in the least. A suicide factory. Family business.

Did I mistakenly give you the impression that I think you are dumb? I apologize if I did.
Ativan

No you didn't imply that I was dumb, I was baiting you and had the feeling that we were in for a good scathing Ativan style rant and you didn't disappoint me. I had no idea about the gay reparative business, OMG how sick is that?

Yeah, the blonde bimbo all about my boobs type, as I recall her husband was Xavier Cugat the band leader!

I'm a crazy (but fun ) hippie, treehugger, and music addict

I'm deathly afraid of spiders so I recently began hanging around with local arachnids in my backyard. Theres one that's a really cool burnt orange color. but it skitters and makes me shudder.

Oh Ativan chill hon! Take a deep breath and we won't continue on with this as it obviously isn't doing your condition any good. Sorry I baited you like that! I'm in trouble here at home too because I have been mimicking the way Emily Deschanel on the TV series "Bones" talks because I think it's cute and kind of hilarious but my spouse finds it infuriating. Gotta quit irritating everyone I suppose!

You are arachnophobic, they are creepy especially when you walk face first through a web.

then you have to do that little "get all this evil spider crap off of me!" dance for like ten minutes. I always think they hide in my hair.

I walk under the trees and suddenly there is one hanging in front of my face from the bill of my baseball cap..(shudder clap!) spider guts on my hands. 

I was really proud of myself the other day when one was crawling on my chest and I didn't scream and run while pounding my chest like tarzan, I got it on my finger (it was super tiny, like baby spider status) and released into the grass.  I'm pretty sure spiders are my power animal, they're the only creatures that make me lose it so I decided to make my terror work for me.

Yes, if you are patient and work at being brave, you can work yourself past your fears of spiders or anything for that matter.
