Can't orgasm
Posted: 7/13/2010 6:10:32 PM
Sometimes, you just want a woman...a real, feeling, genuine, smells great, feels great woman to allow you in as much as you want to be in(non physical descript). We just want to be a part. Is that so much to ask?
As for the Sexatron 2000, She's just not REAL.
Give us something real, feeling and responsive.....you'd be quite surprised at the results.. I lean back to a more human status.

Can't orgasm
Posted: 7/13/2010 5:28:48 PM
Wow....seriously last poster? How many women here on this site have become dependant on the BOB. You know....Battery operated boyfriend. Let me take you on a little journey down memory lane......my most recent, past, current ex. It wouldn't matter what me, or any other man ever did. Her dependance on BOB was complete. I could have had 12", been the most perfect lover and still, nothing would have compared.
Absolutely women can orgasm....I've met many. The problem today is that many of them are artificially so. Put yourself in my shoes..... I was allowed to enter as in penetrate, but hold on sunshine, I gotta reach over to the drawer and get BOB. I would sit there for 15 minutes, half in, half out, deriving absolutely no pleasure in any way shape or form.
Look. I'm all about getting her off as well as enjoying myself, but seriously, after 25 years of relationships.....this one bagged..............and I felt bad about it for a bit. This had nothing to do with intimacy, closeness, or anything other that self gratification. I cared to figure out what made her tick..unfortunately, I don't come with batteries. I'm human. My tongue and other parts only can go so long....and honestly, I became seriously bored with being half in while I got to listen to BOB working his magic.
Can't orgasm is a great title....we all can... it's how we choose to together.

An innocent accidental death
Posted: 5/11/2010 11:54:45 AM
My female cat had a litter of kittens, and they were adorable. All of them had homes except for the runt. I decided to keep it and add it to the collection. (called the crazy cat dude at one point as I had 5 cats. My dog was not a big fan of mine for awhile.). However, one evening hoisted the little dude up on my chest while laying down for a nap on the couch and snozed off.
Woke up a couple hours later and little dude slipped off my chest and down between my torso and bicep. I suffocated him accidentally.... I felt like a bag of poo for a couple of days.....

Posted: 4/24/2010 8:26:56 AM
How do 33 million Canadians damage 300+ million Americans? And yes we are no longer American....we burned the White House as a salute to our leaving. Canadian Standards are a lot more Liberal than most would think.
Hell, we even let you fly from our Airports when you sneak across to go to Cuba. Undoubtedly a two fold factor. Awesome cigars and real Coke here north of the border.
Mind you, I've had American Coke, beer, JD and the likes. Those along with many other Un-Americanized products really do taste better and are more healthy. You still haven't explained to me how our standards damage yours though.

woman not getting child-support. What can she do?? Any free advocacy groups around?
Posted: 4/24/2010 8:19:57 AM
I know someone in the Hamilton area that has 2 kids with someone who makes at least $150,000/yr but he doesn't pay child support! He has kids with another woman & claims that after expenses he only has $30K to live on or something to that effect.
And that may not be entirely wrong either. You have to look at income minus expenses. If he is a sole proprietor of a business, he may not have an income at all, but just use the "drawing account". Not trying to support someone that isn't paying their fair share, but there is I'm sure a lot more to this story than what we are reading. Three sides to every story.

edit profile - income level
Posted: 4/24/2010 8:14:47 AM
Income level is fine.....but really, if you make 100,000 a year and your expenses are 99,000, it's all kinda moot anyhow. Maybe it should be re termed to "Expendable Income Level" so that the potential dater knows how much he/she is likely to get. The 5 star dinner or the MacDonald's take out. Just a thought.

whats up with coke
Posted: 4/24/2010 8:06:09 AM
Oops, so I mixed up who has the better, worse quality of sugar content...my bad. But I was in the ball park.
Now, I'm not sure what is up with Mr. Alabama's post about about us Commies up here dictating to the States what content they have in their Coca-Cola. Yep, we have our standards, which probably results in a few more profiles in Canada that don't say "A Few Extra Pounds" on them, but again, that's for our importing not the USA's.... What we export to you you dictate. I understand you're still a little mad at Castro for flipping you off for 50 years, but can't we all just get along now? There sugar is that much better. Oh, and I find a lot more dictation coming from the States to Canada then the opposite.
Could you explain that crack a little more detailed for me so that when I'm done skinning my Harp Seal quota for the year, I can sit down and attempt to understand. Thanks.

Labbatt/InBev to close Lakeport Breweries.
Posted: 4/24/2010 7:55:17 AM
So I'm watching this in the news as of late and can't help but notice another 143 jobs moving on down the road as well as the spin offs. Now, I'm not a Labbatt drinker, so the Teamsters call for a boycott is moot for me. However, I'm noticing a trend here. There has been (not accurate) thousands of jobs over the last 7 years since I've moved here that have been relocated to other cities, even other countries(Levi Strauss for example) or just disappeared altogether.
How many if any of you will boycott Labbatt products and the question that I really want to ask is... Is Hamilton that hard to do business in?
I wonder if there is something more political outside what the media gets a hold of that makes Hamilton an undesirable place to do business, or if it really is just the Feds looking the other way when large Multi Nationals(in this case InBev) buy local businesses in Canada and shut them down a year or two later and consolidate/move operations. Granted, in this case, things are being relocated to London...so good for them, but I really have to wonder what the future holds for businesses in Hamilton, Ontario and Canada as a whole.
Your thoughts?

question that doesnt really go anywhere else
Posted: 4/21/2010 1:52:18 PM
Although I agree with the previous poster.......the fact that you returned childhood items and didn't just "junk" them shows character. Many a person would just toss it all out and be done with it.
We're all entitled to a few what some may deem, less than questionable actions......

Canadian dollar above par!
Posted: 4/16/2010 6:04:29 PM
I think one of the biggest untapped markets who has survived and flourished is the Hamilton market. I live here. I own a couple of houses and they make me nothing but money. Not that I'm getting rich, but while working, I make money with the house I live in and the other house I rent out entirely.
Hamilton has been beat on so badly in the last decade that finally, I'm seeing good things on the horizon. Being this close to the border, you have to choose carefully what part of any industry you get into. Leave automotive out of it. Get into waste or food.
What I have done for the last 20 years has worked well for me during recessions and better when we are soaring. Where I'm going after I finish training for my next career means I will never have to worry about being unemployed again and I can reap the benefits of an above par dollar.
From where I sit, the dollar above par is something that should be. Americans want what we have and they should have to pay accordingly. Besides, the world is shifting and the Chinese are poised to take advantage of it in a huge way.....

grass fed beef
Posted: 4/13/2010 12:39:11 PM
This is going to sound a bit silly, but what has always worked for me and I've used this for Moose and Deer as well, is that I boil it in beef broth for a couple of hours.
Season the broth with whatever you like. Garlic, onion, etc, get to a boil, cover and simmer for a couple of hours and it will produce one of the most tender cuts of meat you've ever had. I figure out how much fluid is in the deep dish when done and add enough rice accordingly to soak up the juice. Great side for a well cooked meat.
Tried and tested. I've been able to cut the toughest meat with a butter knife at the end of it all.

Did you expect to be single this late in life?
Posted: 4/13/2010 6:18:51 AM
Absolutely. Although most of my immediate family is very happily married and have produced some awesome kids, I've not ever really seen myself in "settling down" per se. I would love to, but have yet to have met someone that could go the distance.
And really....at 39, it's not "that late in life" either.....

Things not to say while describing golf.
Posted: 4/8/2010 4:49:31 AM
Sounds kinda corny, but I'm sitting at the dining room table with a friend of mine last week getting ready for the start of this year's season and I mentioned how this particular brand of balls that I was using were....and I quote..."These are the softest balls I've ever played with.". Whoops.
Also like hollering at your buddy across a pub to ask whether or not he's going to join the foursome......

Not recalled, reliable, economical, comfortable, affordable car
Posted: 4/8/2010 4:44:54 AM
I'll always buy used....currently own a 2000 Jetta TDI. Awesome fuel mileage, maintenance isn't as bad as we've been led to believe and an all round joy to run.
I average about 22km/litre 4.5l/100km, or over 50mpg. With today's prices, that more than offsets the maintenance costs.
Up until this car, I have always run domestic. European cars have a definate advantage over today's domestics, but Ford is definitely back in the hunt. If they had a diesel option with their cars, I'd switch. I will always run a diesel now.....

Rip Torn Break In
Posted: 3/31/2010 7:50:16 PM
He thought this was his own home correct? How would you feel waking up to that if that was inside your own actual home?
The man is a lot more than simply "odd".
Who the eff breaks into their own home with a loaded handgun(or is this alleged as well at the moment?)
He should be lucky it was a bank and not someone's home who also bears arms and blasted his ass. Time should be served. Whatever show he is guesting on now will survive.

Canadian Property Laws - Home Ownership/Rental
Posted: 3/28/2010 6:49:53 PM
This might not be the nicest of advise, but man.......get out of there quickly. And I mean search the ads, find another great place and get out.
I own more than one house and rent this one as well as the other. I am the owner and I can assure you that no matter what, I am not disappearing unless I'm dead. And for 6 months?
Even if I was to have wound up in jail, a management company or friends of mine would see to it that the "asset" was still being taken care of, rent being collected and applied accordingly.
Find another sweet home and get out...Take a month's rent that hasn't been paid and giddy up. I don't care how nice it is, something is amiss.

So I come a walkin' in yesterday from another rousing round of doing absolutely SFA and there is the fella who is renting a room upstairs with his daughter(visiting) on the counter swinging her feet(cute picture it would have been), WASHING MY CAST IRON PAN IN DISHWATER!
I swear I felt the blood leave my face. I think I vomited a little in my mouth I did.
Took me a good hour to get it back to where it should be. She's all fine now though, I was able to sleep last night even after the trauma.
Amazing how many people just don't understand the care needed to maintain these cooking gems.....

POF Chemistry Test
Posted: 3/28/2010 5:44:19 PM
I've had to do a test like this at work.....McQuaig was that one. This one on POF isn't too far removed from it. Ex read my McQuaig Word Survey and was stunned at how close it was to who I actually was.....except for a few things.
You'd be surprised how accurate these things are. Mind you they aren't 100% either, but don't rule them out entirely. If you answer them honestly and read the results, you'll find it's a little more scientific than Voodoo.

Does anyone have a good story of how they met on this site ?
Posted: 3/27/2010 9:41:16 PM
Other than Success Stories, I think this is the perfect place to ask this question. And as a matter of fact YES. I have a great story of how I met someone through someone while we were both on this site.
We spent 4 years together. Not every day was happy, but not every day was sad. We fell in love, we moved in. Sadly, we grew apart. We met through a mutual friend whom we both met on POF in 2006. I wouldn't trade the 4 years for anything. I hoped for more, so did she, but we enjoyed some time together.
It is life in the new age. Get used to it.
Small success.

a way back..?
Posted: 3/27/2010 11:55:13 AM
is there a way back..?
has anybody been through something simular..?
and if so.. how do you move on..?
Never go back. Grow forward. Many of us have been through similar situations that years later you still shake your head at. Nothing is more frightening than the feeling of powerlessness....and your ex and her ex showed you on some level just how powerless you can be.
Doode, until you forgive yourself for something that was completely out of your control(I am assuming "getting rid of our kid" meant abortion) and realize that not every other woman in the world is as messed up as she was, you won't be able to(move on). You will do like many of us who have been wronged years ago(male and female both) and never ever be able to fully commit to a solid relationship and quite possibly never get that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
For your sake and the sake of a prospective partner in what could be a future long termed relationship, you really need to see someone or at the very least come to grips with what happened. At least you are able to define the "moment" in which everything changed. Many can't.
Best wishes for you. Trust issues are hard to overcome.

Renting a Room
Posted: 3/26/2010 9:02:12 PM
Hmmmmm...I'm opening my home temporarily to someone who will take advantage of the situation, as I take advantage of others down on their luck(two newly separated and one on disability), and when he/she is back on her feet, will move along and have a happy life. I rent. I am in a spot where I have no choice but to rent to others. I need to do this to keep the houses. We all get it. It is a business transaction that has unwritten guidelines. 98% of the populous will understand, accept and appreciate that.
Sometimes, you really don't have a choice in how you pay the mortgage.

Im so lame
Posted: 3/25/2010 5:48:44 PM
Monday i was bored and wanted to do something after school...... School got out at 9pm...... So i asked this shockingly beautiful girl who i had been talking to on POF and FB on and off for a year,
I'm going to go out on a limb here. I kinda like the off kiltered Wal-Mart Monday night date.
Now, if you really want to know if you blew it, as you have been communicating with her on POF and FB for over a year, refer her to this thread and ask for her response. You are the 2nd page into it and even I'd like to know how that went. I've had some off key 1st dates before, but that's a goodie. Email her the link and take it from there.

Absolutely she does. We also have the right not to like what she says either.
Although she has the right to speak her mind, we also have the right to ignore her, not attend any of her speaking engagements and make her voice a little more silent by doing so.

Blind man can see with his tongue
Posted: 3/19/2010 5:14:09 AM
In 2007, 24-year-old L/Cpl Craig Lundberg was blinded by a rocket propelled grenade in Iraq while serving with the King's Regiment. Roughly three years later, he can "see" again thanks to a device called the BrainPort. Now his tongue serves as his news eyes.
BBC News reports that the BrainPort incorporates a miniature camera-- attached to a pair of glasses-- that converts visual images into a series of electrical pulses. These pulses are then sent directly to L/Cpl Lundberg's tongue, giving off a "pins and needles" sensation via a lollipop-shaped device connected to the camera.
According to L/Cpl Lundberg, it feels like "licking a nine volt battery, or like popping candy," referring to Pop Rocks or other carbonated candy. "You get lines and shapes of things, it sees in black and white so you get a two dimensional image on your tongue," he said.
Currently the BrainPort is merely a prototype, however L/Cpl Lundberg seemed grateful that the Ministry of Defense (MoD) selected him for the trial. Knowing its current limitations, he's optomistic about what the device can do in later stages of development.
So far, the BrainPort has already changed his life. "One of the things it has enabled me to do is pick up objects straight away, I can reach out and pick them up when before I would be fumbling around to feel for them," he said.

Caught this on the radio the other morning. This is the coolest thing going. And of course, he's keeping the dog Hugo.

Obama signs anti-smoking law
Posted: 3/18/2010 2:42:11 PM
Sometimes someone stands up and takes a hard line stance against things. But Nooooooo, there's always going to be some douchebag out here telling us how it's an affront on our civil liberties, or calling someone that agrees with this a monkey. Comparing getting rid of one of the unhealthiest toxic substances we can put into our bodies on a daily basis to Macramie, or however you spell it, is absolutely retarded.
I remember when I was a kid and they outlawed drinking and driving. Oooooh yes, it was legal for many many many years. How many would like that law repealed because it our gave cops too much power over us?
I smoked from the time I was 14 until September. I will never jump on some activist wagon and preach about how bad it is.....I knew it all along. It just took me 25 years to quit. I wished someone had the BALLS to outlaw it when I was a kid. We would have two much healthier countries to live in today.
It has to start somewhere and I'm thrilled Obama has taken the first step today.
Just think how many dollars aren't going to be wasted on tobacco related issues in 20 years.

moving to the city
Posted: 3/16/2010 6:47:28 PM
Best thing I ever did in my life. You have no idea how liberating it is to be able to move amongst hundreds of thousands of people weekly and never be noticed. I grew up in a town of 3000 people and everyone knew when I pooed. I now live in a city of 550 000 people, made some awesome friends.
Like Alloooo? said, convenience and ease is there, so it's nothing but a good thing. At the end of the day though, it has to be something that you are going to be comfortable with.
I left my small town 20 years ago and still want to go back for no other reason than familiarity. It's a pang I've learned to tame. Hopefully you can as well.
If nothing else............soak up the new experiences that you are going to have.

N.J. Woman Hope to Become World's Fattest.

Woman hopes to become world's fattest
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Bookmark and Share
OLD BRIDGE, N.J. — This girl’s dreaming big!
Donna Simpson, 42, of Old Bridge, N.J., already tips the scales at 600 pounds but says she won’t be satisfied until she’s porked herself up to 1,000 - to grab the title of world’s fattest woman, the London Dail Mail reported.
That’s why she’s gone on a junkfood jihad. But Simpson has given herself two years to hit the millennium mark. She earns her chow bucks - a whopping 750 clams a week - with a Web site where men pay her to watch her eat fast food.
“I love eating and people love watching me eat,” Simpson said. “It makes people happy, and I’m not harming anyone.”
“I do love cakes and sweet things, doughnuts are my favorite,” she said. She’s also fond of burgers and fries - an important part of her 12,000-calorie-a-day diet - and carefully avoids exercise. Simpson already holds the Guinness World Record as the fattest mom, 532 pounds when she gave birth in 2007. She says boyfriend Philippe, 49, eggs her on. “I think he’d like it if I was bigger. He’s a real belly man.”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Self-esteem issues? Control issues with the b/f? Is this a joke? I'm at a loss. Any enlightened folk out here? What the *ell would be the motivating factor to do something like this?

Canadian Feds are also urging extreme caution. Be careful dude. This is not one of the better countries to be touring around in the last few years.
I hear Cuba still loves us though....or is everything already pre booked and paid for?

Sexual Frustration!!! How to Deal With It?
Posted: 3/14/2010 1:55:19 PM
If you are left handed, lube the right hand. If a righty, vice versa. Hell, if you really want to shake it up for a night on the town, throw a sock in there(American Pie) for some extra friction, or even pick up an apple pie at the local grocers for all it's worth.
If you live your life waiting or pining on another person's "releasing" your frustrations, you have much larger problems than being single. This is not directed at the previous poster. It is a generalized statement.

Collective Punishment Over Same-Sex Prom Date
Posted: 3/13/2010 9:00:29 AM
I'd say "Gone and not too well spent." That adds up to over 600.00 yes?
I'm sure that this didn't happen overnight and there was definitely a lead up to it. Small town (area where I grew up) is as homophobic as the south and I'll be honest, the fact that that girl came out while in her home town and politicized this issue was not only selfish, but also reckless. Some people are just that unwilling to change and you should know when NOT to rock the boat. This didn't need to be politicized, nor did it need to be addressed. If the person selling the tickets turned a blind eye and accepted the "dirty little secret", the gay in question just shut their mouth, this prom may have gone off without a hitch.
If I were the Principal and this kind of a stink was being made by a student and she/he wasn't going to take no for an answer and then took it public, I would have done exactly the same thing. I think it's about time that the kids today learn that you aren't always going to get what you want.
Good luck in your fight, albeit futile kid.

Why are so many unemployeed
Posted: 3/13/2010 7:33:25 AM
Whoa there dude. You can't blame this recession on the last regime change down there in Washington. Don't get me wrong, I'm not jumping on the side of speak much do little here, but this stuff started happening before you and I were working.
Your Presidents and my Prime Ministers long ago eroded the manufacturing,production based economy that we both enjoyed. I grew up in small town Northwestern Ontario and what shielded us from recessions were forestry and base metal production(mining) used to fuel the growth spurt of the 80's and 90's. A lot of areas of North America had/have not fared so well. Today, the base metals are gone, forestry has dried up for the moment and my home town now enjoys unemployment of almost 45%. (fact)
I remember listening to my parents talk in the evenings about how bad things were going to get as time went on. They aren't prophets, but were able to read the writing on the wall. As I left my sheltered community and went to college I saw exactly what they spoke of. This current crisis was in the works a long time ago and it's not going to get any better any time soon. Sure, we'll get out of this recession, but within this decade, we'll be back into another.
This is a chain of events that started many years ago. There is no simple answer and there is not going to be a fix any time soon.

Questions........
Posted: 3/13/2010 7:15:38 AM
1.) She failed to change you and is now disappointed at her perceived failure.
2.) The rebound guy lasts about as long as a menstrual cycle.
3.) You've made through the "gift of the month" and survived.
4.) (I'm assuming "tried to get your ex back"). Never. It's over for a reason. Doesn't mean you can't be amicable. As far as the relationship went however, it's best you two aren't together any longer.
0.02
But then again, that's only my perception of things.

The Moped

I can't take the credit for this though, it wasn't me. I have no idea where this came from, but I was in tears after reading it. The ex got this at work and was kind enough to forward it on to me. I've since sent this on to many other people. It is definitely great for a laugh.

Toronto = Cold as ice dating ????
Posted: 3/13/2010 5:07:04 AM
I don't see the issue at all. I come home from work, slap on some catnip, *ussy galore.
However, I recommend the de-clawed version unless wearing a sweater.

Glitch in sending Email?
Posted: 3/11/2010 7:56:22 AM
Hello all. I'm wondering if this is an isolated incident or if this is happening a little more than not.
Twice now I've tried to send a mail to someone, and I actually know them, there were no mail restrictions etc. What happened was, I had sent off the email, big block letters says YOUR MESSAGE WAS SENT, but presto, message was never sent.
Is there a glitch in the system that we don't know about? I know that the receiver never got the message. The message should have been free and clear...again, no restrictions etc. This is the 2nd person.
Any help would be appreciated.

How much man or woman do you need ?
Posted: 3/10/2010 7:17:42 PM
For me, being manly is a combination of both i,e, masculine and feminine. I dont know if he exist but HE is strong yet soft-hearted, can fix anything yet knows how to cook for his woman, over-protective yet knows when to let you on our own, obey a woman's every beck and call yet firm in his decision when needed.
Huh? That makes no sense. In other words, you want a manly man who's confident and takes control, yet he's submissive to you? You don't even know what you want at all.
Msg 8...both parts. SHE had me till obey beck and call...Obedience isn't part of it. It should be done because he or she WANTS to.
HE will understand that she is mostly right in the next few years as he muddles through his 20's and realizes that there is a healthy balance to be had.
Needs are met when both parties are satisfied at the end of the day and start the new one with a smile more often than not. How much woman I need or needed varies with the individual. Some will make me more happy in some areas and compensate for others and I will do the same. As long as the balance is met, it's a win win. Like a pre-nup or any other business draft, there are two people and both have to be satisfied to make it work. It doesn't matter what you need or want if you can't live up to what he/she needs from you.

tim hortons surprise.....
Posted: 3/10/2010 6:35:43 PM
Funny this topic appears. I was sitting in a clinic a few weeks ago....nothing major, just getting a physical and this guy comes walking in with a couple of containers of needles for the "needle exchange program". I am so used to people talking about drug users and the likes I hadn't even considered diabetics until this feller walked in.
A little surprised that people would be putting "diabetic" syringes in a disposal unit though when they are free to exchange.....

Think Laws Against Texting While Driving Are Necessary? Read This!
Posted: 3/10/2010 4:41:40 AM
two-vehicle crash Tuesday at Mile Marker 21 on Cudjoe Key was caused by a 37-year-old woman driver who was shaving her bikini area while her ex-husband took the wheel from the passenger seat.
Phew! I was really about to start strumming a banjo here.
I'm listening to a report on the radio yesterday afternoon that says about 2% of the population can actually do something other than just driving competently. The responses from drivers while texting to say that they could do it, or using the now illegal(at least in Ontari0) hand held cell phone was overwhelming. I'd loved to have counted the near misses as a result of the responses.
Sadly, the law is there and needs to be there. Unfortunately, you can legislate it all you want, but you just can't fix stupidity or legislate common sense.

The Moped
Posted: 3/9/2010 3:31:52 PM
An elderly man on a Moped, looking about 100 years old, pulls up next to a doctor at a street light.
The old man looks over at the sleek shiny car and asks,
' What kind of car ya got there, sonny?'
The doctor replies, ' A Ferrari GTO.
It cost half a million dollars ! '
' That's a lot of money,' says the old man.
' Why does it cost so much?'
' Because this car can do up to 320 miles an hour !' states the doctor proudly.
The Moped driver asks, 'Mind if I take a look inside ?'
' No problem,' replies the doctor.
So the old man pokes his head in the window and looks around.
Then, sitting back on his Moped, the old man says, ' That's a pretty nice car, all right... but I'll stick with my Moped !'
Just then the light changes,
So the doctor decides to show
The old man just what his car can do.
He floors it, and within 30 seconds
The speedometer reads 160 mph.
Suddenly, he notices a dot in his rear view mirror. It seems to be getting closer !
He slows down to see what it could be
And suddenly WHOOOOSSSHHH !
Something whips by him going much faster !
' What on earth could be going faster than my Ferrari ?' the doctor asks himself.
He presses harder on the accelerator
And takes the Ferrari up to 250 mph.
Then, up ahead of him,
He sees that it's the old man on the Moped !
Amazed that the Moped could pass his Ferrari , he gives it more gas
And passes the Moped at 275 mph
And he's feeling pretty good until he looks in his mirror and sees the old man gaining on him AGAIN !
Astounded by the speed of this old guy,
He floors the gas pedal and takes the Ferrari all the way up to 320 mph.
Not ten seconds later, he sees the Moped bearing down on him again !
The Ferrari is flat out,
And there's nothing he can do !
Suddenly, the Moped plows
Into the back of his Ferrari,
Demolishing the rear end.
The doctor stops and jumps out and unbelievably the old man is still alive.
He runs up to the banged-up old guy and says, ' I'm a doctor.... Is there anything I can do for you ?'
The old man whispers,
' Yes....please unhook my suspenders from your side view mirror.'

As a kid, my dad got us into mixing Sour Creme and Cottage cheese together, sprinkle on a bit of sugar and it was some kinda tasty.
Haven't had that in years......I will this weekend when I grocery shop though.hehe.

I'm stunned. I can't believe the ex-husband let her actually leave the house before shaving her legs. Like, you know, she might have gotten out at a local convenience store for some Twinkies and someone other than her boyfriend(????) might have seen her in public all disheveled and shite. Gawd, what are some people thinking these days?

Why are so many unemployeed
Posted: 3/8/2010 5:01:27 AM
Well, you figure that since the 70's we (Canada and the U.S.A.) started switching from a manufacturing based economy to a service based one. Doesn't mean that there still isn't a lot of manufacturing being done in either country, but there sure as hell is a lot more farmed out to foreign and cheaper countries then brought back here to be sold. Gov't and big business created our own demise. Many of those high paying jobs will never return and we now have to stretch a dollar a lot further than we ever had to.
Here in Canada we have a bit of an edge in that we have a crap load more Natural Resources that our Government is selling to the highest bidders and for now, that keeps a lot of people employed in high paying jobs. Eventually we will hit that point where the resources are depleted as well.
I have worked in the service side of things for 20 years now and would never have worked in a manufacturing operation....Job is a lot more insecure in manufacturing. However, I did get let go in January from my job. Good luck finding work in January and February.
To the "B" two posts ago that figures we aren't looking hard enough, I hope that when you lose your job, people are a little more sympathetic to your plight at that time then you are to us right now. I've had to convert my house and accept tenants to pay the mortgage. Ya, I'm milkin' the system and livin' the good life
. But like everything, it's only temporary.

How come we all get so picky after 30?
Posted: 3/5/2010 2:30:03 PM
Well, when you go in head first knowing you are going to fail, you will. I've met many a person over the years and have settled down with a few. If I went in to each relationship with the doom and gloom, I would never have done it.
Ok, so I'm back on the site after being gone for 3+ years. It was a pretty good run and I wouldn't have missed it. I never met, fell in love, moved in with her with the thought that this was going to fail. We truly believed it was going to work. My mind did not explode, nor will it. I'm still happy, single or not. Just another life phase is all. Next time it happens, it's for good....done deal.
-----------------------------------------------
I don't know if we are getting more picky or just more contented being on our own as we age a little. Granted, there are some things that we will not tolerate, but other things that we have no issues with that we may have had in our twenties.
Personally, I think that as we age, we define ourselves a little bit more each year and as a result we have a more definitive idea of who we'd like to be with. Not to be confused with being picky.

No kids at 40
Posted: 3/5/2010 4:19:47 AM
From a different perspective. OP you are saying that you are choosing not to change your current situation. How many hundreds of thousands of women are unable to have children through no fault of their own and yet go on to meet and happily marry someone? You have just made a conscious choice not to.
If the dating prospects are unable to accept that, then I guess they really weren't much of a prospect from the beginning......
