I thought this was the name of the island Clinton went to with the underage sex slaves.

Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin are often associated with the most sacred penetralia of the Freemasons.

Somehow this reminds me of the question “Why does an elephant have four feet?”

It used to be penetralia
Born with a set of genitalia
Just chop it off
Get a new coif
While smoking some fine marijuana.

OK, so recently I got a friend request from someone on FB that I didn’t recognize, so I ignored it. Then on a friend’s post I spotted this person so I investigated.....seems the individual is not simply related to someone I know it is that person......just now presenting as a female, not a male. Yikes. Why me? I thought it was maybe his mother?

"Yikes. Why me? I thought it was maybe his mother?"

Sometimes I self-identify as from a different species, possibly from another planet.

Most of the time though, it's just depressing.

Barack’s in his kingly regalia
His mind full of dark penetralia
All his records are sealed
Some erased; none revealed
The one thing that’s known—he will failia

We had our “engineers & executives” breakfast this morning, and they had Tuscan potatoes. They were delicious, and very spicy, and I can feel it deep down in my penetralia now. Bring on the Tums!

Huh.......the last name was unusual and he was the only one I had met with it. I figured her for his mother and didn’t know her, so I ignored it. I only put it together after reviewing his/her thread and all the posts are from others. Family mostly. There is nothing there announcing a change in sex, just the first name in older posts was his. Just realized it last night.

That’s just bizarre. This is not a COMMON phenomena, is it just attention seeking you think?

I just went for a drive in my employee’s new Lexus RX350. Very smooth and plush. Is that what xshub has?

Sitting a sick Gord today and attempting to work from home bc I have something due on Monday. His parents have both been home off and on since Thursday. They need to go back to work. This time it’s an ear infection.

Like home fries, but these were really spicy. Really tasty, hot, but not along burning hot like hot peppers.

I don’t handle things like that well. I’m not very good at keeping my mouth shut about such odd behavior.
