Well, they just arrested a substitute teacher here in Denver after an investigator pretended to be a 16 year old girl and agreed to a meeting.

Was that YOU Tom?

Hmmm ... me pretending to be a 16 year old girl to catch child molesters? I approve, but if I were to pose as a 16 year old girl, it would be in hopes of getting a new ereader from KK!

Wonder how I'd look in a dress? I'd probably have to shave the mustache, though!

Urgh, I feel your pain! What's really working for me right now is an exercise DVD (abs and buns )- I'm liberating energy, I tire myself so I can at least sleep well, and mostly, the best part of it: I swear my head off at the blond bimbo who's not even breaking a sweat when all my muscles are close to ripping point. *Very* liberating. The only other thing that would help (for me anyway) these days is boxing.

A couple of advils are necessary for muscular pain on the day after though. And it's not guaranteed that your neighbours will still talk to you after.

Edit: please note that the blond bimbo is actually quite a nice lady, not a plastic thing. But I still need to curse her.

I have, in a good case of bolting the door after the horse has bolted, now stocked up on DEET though.
How's your vitamin B level? Being blonde(no jokes) I used to be the one that was bitten more than anyone else. But since I have been taking vitamin B supplements I seem to have fewer problems.

Whatever has my hormones in an uproar needs to stop...yesterday! I'm sarcastic, I'm snappish, I'm irritable, and I feel like no one is listening to a word I say, which of course isn't true at all. This is about a 180 degree difference in my usual easy-going self, and to be quite brutally honest, I don't even like being around MYSELF at this point. ... If anyone has any suggestions, I promise to try really hard not to bite your head off!
....I have a similar problem except its not me!

Bloke is horrible every fourth Friday! And we always argue.

I'll box you, Verencat.

Girls like hitting me.

I don't hit back, unless you want me too.

You have to wear a helmet though.

that reminds me of a time when sailing (well anchored up) in a place with lots of midgees, and had run out of skintastic. In desperation I rubbed Gin on my legs, and voila! it works. Midgees stayed away. Need to do cost analysis on whether gin is cheaper than other products, but it has other uses

That should read, "to catch child molesters." Fixed it. Hope the shutter came from envisioning me in a dress, because that kind of make me shutter, too. Although I've always heard "don't knock it 'till you've tried it!"

At the moment, the pink paint look would be an improvement!
