just another generic rpost

so i'm not quite sure about subject matter as far as a title, so here goes:

the phrase "in their own way"...back-handed compliment or not?

whenever someone says "oh, she's beautiful....in her own way..."

it sort of makes my blood boil. being beautiful is just that, it doesn't matter who or what you are...you just are.

so why cheapen the compliment by adding "in her/his own way"? why not just let it be what it is.

oh, and in packy news....mine is die-die-dying...so i need to purchase a new one.

lately, i've been wanting to purchase a man-go

but thanks you-tube for having me addicted to you and constantly scanning the ftm videos for a "how to make an stp".

oh, and by-the-by an "stp" stands for:

Stand
To
Pee (prosthesis)

it's relatively easy and more cost effective to make one than to purchase a more expensive product. i estimate it costing around $25 to make an STP as opposed to the $65+ for a mango (and the special harness). so let's see how well this goes, shall we? lol.

"in their own way".... It sounds like a disclaimer. The beautiful part ...does not ring true.

Re: just another generic rpost

which is why I posted the Ray Stevens song. It was recorded 38 years ago. The song probably worked because it included "in its own way", because the artist was wearing an American flag sweater, and because eveyone appeared happy, healthy, and beautiful. Times have not changed all that much since the optimism of the 70's. In fact, we may be moving backward.
