I just heard the dogs howling before I heard the ambulance. It made me sad and weepier even more than the usual ambulance weepiness.

Suefly | 620 comments Teenaged mothers. It makes me sad to see such young parents who are usually unprepared for having a child. They should be cruising the malls not buying Pampers Cruisers diapers.

Meh. I see a lot of them. Girls can be quite mature and some do just fine. It is the fathers that make me sad.


message 4: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Hungry looking children. Or kittens. Or hungry, skinny feral cats in general. Or dogs of any age.

 ~Geektastic~ (atroskity) | 3205 comments Strays. Young girls tarted up like cheap whores. Women who are afraid of their boyfriends/husbands. Men wearing ties on a Saturday. Construction workers who are outside in the ridiculous heat today.

 ~Geektastic~ (atroskity) | 3205 comments It just reminds me of working on a Saturday...

Sad clowns. Roadkill. Drunks in the morning.


message 9: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) A family of dead raccoons on the road.

That's like saying "roadkill to infinity." Try harder, Jones.

Félix (habitseven) Women wearing ties on Saturday?

Félix (habitseven) A family of dead, drunk, sad clowns on the road?

 ~Geektastic~ (atroskity) | 3205 comments That could just be a fashion statement.

Wearing ties.

With mustard stains on them.

Cheer up, sock monkey. Quitting time is nigh.


message 21: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Technically, I think I've already quit without actually leaving for the weekend.

What is happening?


message 23: by Sally, la reina (new)

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
The last time I tuned in sad clowns were dining on roadkill Saturday morning and Jonathan read about it in the times but got so excited mustard fell onto his tie so he went tieless.


message 24: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) That about sums it up. Motherhood hasn't diminished your comprehension, at least.

Félix (habitseven) Yeehah.


message 29: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca White (rebecca_white) | 1027 comments off-brand toys, like the fake Barbies. Hardly the worst tragedy in the world, but it's a symbol of poverty to me.


message 30: by Brittomart (new)

Brittomart Off-brand toys are a symbol of poverty? good lord, then don't open my childhood toy chest or closet.


message 31: by RandomAnthony (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Animal Cruelty. Dog fights. Very sad. Then I get mad and want to put a shotgun in the mouth of the guy who organized the dog fight until he shits his pants.


message 32: by Sally, la reina (new)

Sally (mrsnolte) | 17373 comments Mod
I always got off brand toys. But my parents were frugal, not poor.

RA doesn't discern anger from sadness, just has he can't discern Pabst from Corona from Heineken. Just sayin.

Lobstergirl | 24778 comments Mod
People dying because they have no health insurance. Families losing their homes and becoming homeless. The growing gap between rich and poor. The fact that so few people seem to care about the growing gap. Old, neglected people living alone. Babies and toddlers dying in hot cars. People who think they have no larger responsibility than themselves and their families.


message 35: by Félix (new)

Félix (habitseven) Amen, LG.


message 36: by Emily (new)

Emily (azara3) | 18 comments Pokemon. Honest to whatever God you believe in. I use to be in love with that show! Have any of you seen it lately? It's pathetic! They got rid of all the good characters and turned whatever original characters they have left into hypocritical, moral-spewing, selfish A-holes! I mourn my childhood when i see what they've made that show.
(And I agree with Larry on this one: Amen, LG.)

I have only the vaguest understanding of what Pokemon even is.


message 38: by Helena (new)

Helena | 1056 comments Children being hurt, any hurt. Young women/girls that think they’re not good enough, ugly, fat, stupid. People without compassion. Animal cruelty of any sort.

And animal movies. I cry at every animal movie.

Due to my three children this makes sense to me, sadly. Same with Power Rangers. The first couple seasons were much better than the later years.

My sons and I have also been more amused than we should be by the fact the latest hurricane is named Dora. I hope no one on the news says something like "And Dora left a path of destruction" confusing the hell out of little kids walking past the television.

I have varied tastes. I am open to diversity in alcohol.


message 41: by Phil (new)

Phil | 11837 comments Seeing the children of the local polygamist families.

Seeing children of any age indoctrinated into the family cult religion.

I love off-brand toys. We used to try getting the girls to love the Happy to be Me dolls as much as they loved their cousins' used Barbies.


message 48: by Cynthia (new)

Cynthia Paschen | 7333 comments Sad= child abusers who don't spend a minute in jail.
Ditto for kid killers. Sometimes animal cruelty is punished more harshly than child cruelty.


message 49: by Helena (new)

Helena | 1056 comments I wish I could un-see that picture.


message 50: by RandomAnthony (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments I feel sad when salespeople try to sell me warranties I don't need.
