Rants Raves and Stupid Shit in Seattle.

A healthy level of concern is smart, but if you've done what you can to protect yourself and those you care about, then excessively worrying isn't good for ones mental health.

My rant would be about the anti-vax crowd like my friends 40 yo daughter in law who has 'done her own research' and concluded the vaccine was developed too quickly to be safe. I wonder if the imminent Omicron tsunami has her re-thinking her position. One can only hope.

I get why, what with our media being 24/7 panic porn these days, but original covid had a 99.7% survival rate. Average age of someone who has died with covid in the us is in the mid 70's.

Unless your daughter in law has co-morbidities she has nothing to fear from any strain of Covid. Also, while N95 masks might have helped, the filthy strips of t-shirt cloth people actually wear do so little that it's easy to find studies that, due to the margin of error, the effect of the masks was statistically irrelevant. Two such studies linked below.

Everyone should proceed as they see fit to protect themselves. But this virus is now endemic. Which means think of it like the flu. You will get it eventually. All these restrictions are only serving to destroy people mental health, especially children. Omicron is so mild doctors in South Africa are calling it a natural vaccine. It's time to end all restrictions. Hell, there are many states with no restrictions already, and they are doing better than some states with crazy restrictions. Arizona and Florida comes to mind.

I wish everyone who reads this well.

Anyway, lots of girls out last night around 8 pm. Not sure if the moon peaking through the scattered clouds had anything to do with that. I saw three spinner BSWs who looked very young, one by KK and the other two south of 105th. When I say young, I mean early teenage years. Of course it's hard to tell for sure just by looks alone, but again another caution to check identification on the girls who seem too young. The pimpy out-of-town crews bring that shit into our area from LA. Don't snag a sex crime charge for Christmas.

To be honest, calling him a dumbass might be giving him too much credit.

One thing, though, is that I seem more and more restrictions on the horizon as this disease spreads, and it could be worse than last year. One thing I would like to see is for providers' prices to go down. Sure did not happen much at all after the Delta variant. But then there are these rookie high tech folks who continue to pay the ridiculous rates.

Pretty indifferent to ink since usually only going to see a few times at most. Did have ex girlfriend who had large back tattoo but that was to cover scars from car accident and back surgeries. Wait, she WAS a tramp so guess generalization holds true.

2. The "claw paws" - usually placed on her cleavage or on her thigh.

3. The crown. Like she's a princess.

Do any of you guys react negatively to chicks who have certain tattoos?

I am good with most tat's and have them myself. Not a fan of names or pictures of people as a tat.

Remember Goddess Kringen on Public Access?

I might have done her, back around 1996.

Anyone remember Crap Live, with Justin, on Public Access?

I don't like tattoos on women either. Unless they are completely covered in tattoos. For some reason I find that to be incredibly hot.

The claw paws is a great example kit. As well as their exes name and stars. I don't want to hit doggy and all I see is JOHN! Oh and chix with sleeve tats. RED FLAG!

Reminds me of the early 2000's when all the dudes were getting tribal tattoos haha!

The tramp stamp pretty much tells me that that's what she is.

This girl I work with, who I call Halle (because she looks like Halle Berry), I was talking with her about tattoos one day. She is from Los Angeles, and her last two boyfriends were Chinese-American and Japanese-American. Therefore, she has a dragon tattoo on her side, lower back.

One day, at her desk, she nonchalantly offered to show it to me. Lifted the bottom of her shirt, and showed me her tattoo. That made me even less attracted to her, than I already was (or wasn't).
