One of my relatives, lives near Bowling Green, KY, home of the factory that makes the Corvette, asked me for a list of my favorite websites. She had just got Internet service at home. When I asked her why she wanted that list, considering that she's Baptist with a mind so narrow that her note pads are 1/4 wide, she said, "So I can block them. I don't want my kids getting into that kind of site." I lol'd and told her the kids had asked for the same thing two years ago.

Even I have been shocked at some of the stuff I have seen on Tumblr. She would have been better off wanting my list to block.

See, a lot of my interactions with such often would end with "And why should I help you?"

I woulda got hella offended if any of my family had asked a question so loaded with implications, and then seemed so blase about the answer. Christianity can be so gross sometimes.

@Gawdzilla: Give the dumb bitch her list. You could start with every Christian creationist site, and throw in Fox news for good measure. After all, she wants to shield her children from harmful influences . . .

She's pretty special. She sent me an email saying she could get her pictures to print in "portrait" mode. I told her she needed a monitor that rotated so it would be in portrait mode when she printed the picture. She went to Best Buy and told the salesguy what she needed and he sold her one, for $495.00.

Behind whom?

It's funny when people say things like that and are referring to South Korea, Japan and a small amount of western European countries.

Depending on the source, anywhere from 14th to 30th in average speed. I consider that pretty far behind for a country that is technologically advanced.

Poor Ham, losing out to an invisible power that actually works.
