Ever just want to tear your hair out, or someone else's? If you cannot restore a sense of balance, you will run away from home? Just want to say some things without the constraints of staying on topic? Well, this thread is for you! If you just need a short break to let it all hang out, be a brat, then come on, you can do it. No holding back! Go for it, you can do it.

You go to Alaska, Babalou! They also have Sarah Palin in Alaska.
I now understand why eskimo's put their elders on a slab of ice and push them out to sea!, by sneakysnail
Thankless, Are you going to make me explain this too? Have you not seen the slab of ice being pushed out to sea with an elder on it, a purported eskimo burial at sea tradition? Just thought the Eskimo Nation of native peoples might have hurt feelings about other various people of all nationalities on this forum using their sacred burial rituals for a resource for humor. But I heard recently they can teach you to fish and build you a tiny house made of ice blocks. It is one of these ice blocks that the E's shave off the ice slab to push retirees out to sea when tey get too old to fish for themselves.
But I think Luckylu knows more about them than I do, ask her.
I was just attempting to be culturally relevant and sensitive.
And, yes, Eskimo pies are delish!
Just in case any "youngin's" are out there; Eskimo Pie is a brand name for a chocolate-covered vanilla ice cream bar wrapped in foil, the first such dessert sold in the United States. (Taken from Wikipedia)

C'mon gals - first prize is a trip to Alaska
Gershun, have you seen the e a r of the tiger?
What about you, Cwillie, Luckylu? Do either of you have the tiger by the tail?
Have you seen my paw?
I think the E-kiss is rubbing noses, or was that just in cartoons?
Researching now, because my neighbor told me her son was tested for MRSA prior to surgery-the nose is where one carries the MRSA.
(methicillin resistant staphyloccocus aureas.), a dangerous infection difficult to clear.
How to stop spending time you don't have with people you don't like doing the things you don't like doing. Without rudeness, without being a jackass, the book's author, Sarah Knight, admits her writings are profane and giddy, and uses the Not Sorry Method. Don't actually have the book yet, but just the title is liberating to me.
Apparently it is still PC for you Americans to talk about Eskimos, it is only here in Canada that it is a dirty word.
Tears now.
"This too shall pass. It might pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass."
"What's wrong, dear?" He asks. Through her tears she says, "well, I've been trying to put this puzzle together all morning and I just can't seem to figure it out! It's supposed to be a tiger."
He looks at her and in his most sympathetic voice says, "sweetheart, let's put the frosted flakes back in the box."
Is that how you all remember it too?
I call this new place to reside the socially exceptable space.
Where have you been, Gershun?
