  1. Re ability to vividly imagine physical accidents, it started after my London accident. I see accidents everywhere. I should be an insurance adjuster. It also has something to do with my fear of hurting cyclists. Seriously. I am working on it. But I still hate mechanical work.

    It’s actually spelled “cuming”

    On the site literotica.com, a search for “cuming” returns 3,680 results, while “coming” returns 128,959 results.
    I’m sure that a few of the 128,959 meant it only in a non-sexual context, but I could not find any in a random sampling.

    The things I do for science….

    I’m not sure what the OED says on the matter.

  3. “It is unfortunate but I have a very vivid ability to imagine disaster and accidents – i.e. sawing my arm off, electrocuting myself, burning down my building, causing floods.”

    Hoping Dona is one of the many New Yorkers with a therapist.

    dona- you need to get “help” for that 🙂

  5. Re: rocky plane flights, best line I ever heard on a bad landing was from an old lady near me “Did we just land or were we shot down?”

    Oh, M4L, is visiting in-laws out of town, so he is a-ok.

    Re, housework, cleaning, help. My God, the idea of cleaning help was something I never even knew existed when I was a kid. That’s what we kids were for. That is what Saturdays were for. I can do any kind of traditional women things (I know that sounds wierd but I truly hate mechanical kinds of jubs). I can clean anything and well, cook, sew, I am great at ironing and all of that stuff can repair stuff. I always was a neat, great painter and can do some plastering too. And some simple mechanical things I can do as well, crawling around on the roof, fixing gutters, cleaning them, caulking things, etc. but I really don’t like, don’t feel confident about some of the stuff brownstoners do routinely – simple wiring, anything to do with plumbing or carpentry. It is unfortunate but I have a very vivid ability to imagine disaster and accidents – i.e. sawing my arm off, electrocuting myself, burning down my building, causing floods.

  6. “Someone in the HOTD has signed off…

    **Dead bin Laden Bounce**”

    That wasn’t a sign-off; it was likes2lurk’s explanation for all the recent Park Slope sales that 11217 posted.
