The ex's complaint was that the balls would grab on to his short hairs. So, even a kinky guy, who got off on the image of the phallus itself, might have been willing to cut them off. There are work arounds, though. TMI? Me? LOL

Oh. Ima talkin' 'bout heterosexISM or hetnormativity. Not the same thing as heterosexuality. Just as being male isn't the same thing as male supremacy.

smoochiez! Now, I'm gonna go finishg cleaning. I thought it would be a hurricane-free weekend. Guess freakin' not. Looks like the sucker is going to head straight for Tampa Bay. "Fortunately," that will just mean tropical storm by the time it gets here, but the winds are already whipping. Much stronger pre-hurricane winds than I've seen yet. Guess I get to spend the day storing and freezing water. Guh.

It's pretty funny. Everyone just keeps the plywood on their windows. I just got back from grocery shopping. The bagger said, "Hey, I have an idea. For Halloween, we =should keep the plywood up and start a new tradition, decorating the plywood with Jackolatern faces." HA

Here's this 17 y.or, btw, going on about how a costume this year could be a dead Prez Bush. !! Then he said, "Someone would probably get thrown in jail for that." Wahoo! A politically aware high schooler!

Hurricane-weary,
