generous_but_stingy epitome of incomprehensibility Generous but Stingy (a poem-ish) Well, it's me to a T. I don't know what the T stands for. You have to be stingy first. That means not eating out so much. Eating X out is different. But we need neutral terms. Suppose you encountered genitals of a new shape? Let's say you wanted to have sex with an alien. Okay, let's say you did, but the alien would say things like, "You don't HAVE to shop at thrift stores." The alien would wear clothes. Just not used clothes. He'd find the thought uncomfortable. This you would find alien. But you'd eat him out, or in, or whatever preposition his genitalia warranted. I don't even know about gender. I said generous. If you're stingy first. So then you have more to give and I don't mean in a sexual way. I mean material objects or number-paper used as currency. Currently. I mean reoccuring. The gen/stinge cycle on a gastric bypass. You spend time on food, not money. Are you from another planet? Yes? Are there any restaurants you recommend there? 220811 ... raze (i love how alive this is with creative energy and unexpected transitions. words can be such wondrous things.) 220811 ... e_o_i I'm more generous when I'm angry. Apparently. It's a pattern. I don't know if all my thoughts on "security" were that weird, but this is indubitably weird. (Also - hey_raze! Thanks for the kind comment. I didn't see it until just now, when I was searching to see if I'd written anything else about being angry-generous.) 230310 what's it to you? who go blather from
