maternal moments.

I dedicate this post to my mother. A woman who likes to tell horrifying stories that are true.

Today is a special day. August 4th 1892 on a stifling New England summer day, Andrew and Abbey Borden were murdered in such a fashion that the only thing remaining of their heads were grease spots.
Supposedly the spinster daughter Lizzie Borden did it, some think the maid did it.
But it does make a fine point about not irritating people when it becomes a little too warm and humid out.

So go out and celebrate "Look out Behind you day" in proper fashion.

There was a time in ancient Israel when the desert heat would come in and there would be no wind, just suprheated suffocating heat- those days were called "the fifty" because 50 days of it were expected each year. At one point in time it was a law that any man who murdered his wife after 3 days of the "the fifty" could go free, because it was said that no man should be held accountable for his behavior towards a nagging woman.

So- same point made. :)

I do believe we need a rule like that here.

I'll bet there would be a lot less nagging women in the world! :)

I bet men would think twice about doing stupid things.

LOL- i think the law would need to go both ways though- then neither would be as stupid. :)

yeah, I think you are right.

George Carlin had a whole bit about that.
