I can't believe it. What a terrible tragedy. I don't know what to say, Adrien was a terrific person, always had a smile on his face. My condolences.

What is it with women and their power tools?
Posted:
3/28/2009 3:04:52 PM
I don't really get what the question is here.
I'm a Carpenter, and have used all the tools that the trade requires (including a recip). I work for a company that has all the tools and have only recently started my own collection, which yes, I do get excited about because they are NEW, and will only be used by ME. In other words, they will be respected, and stay in good working order for a long time to come.
There are a lot more women going into the trades these days and it's a good thing. I'm well aware that some men are turned off by that, and think women should be nurses, school teachers, or homemakers. And I'm perfectly fine with men who have this mind set, as it helps to weed out the ones who would never be compatible with me.

Sorry, just stirring the pot. Bored. Have been doing a lot of lurking, and seeing all the interaction, and figured I'd open my big mouth.

I have an idea!
Why don't just_dia, and Wildman go on a date? Ummm, I mean, a meet. You have so much in common. Neither of you is here to date, you're both just in it for the forums. You would have so much to talk about. Like all the crazy characters here in the forums.
Hey, crazier things have happened.
Maybe having a venue for forum goers only is on the horizon.
Date? Nope, just the forums please and thank you. Maybe all the non daters would find their other (non-dating) halves.

ya know, the one your kid gives you when you divorce and gives you "the talk"
Haha, thanks for the chuckle - though I was a bit too young when my parents divorced, I can still picture it.
Just checked my stash, and it's all good til 2010. Funny, I have no recollection of when I bought them. They must have a REALLY long shelf life.
Happy New Year all you POFers!

do men actually like curvy women vs the skinny pencil one?
Posted:
12/4/2008 6:29:38 PM
I dare someone to start a thread titled:
Do men prefer slender, leggy, lean and sleek women, OR sloppy out of shape chunky girls... talk about playing with words.
Can't believe this thread is still around, and here I am commenting. Huh.
BTW, I'm on the curvy side but felt the need to play devils' advocate. AND, I can draw a mean stick man.

I just spent about twenty minutes commenting on a thread, only to post and see it gone. So I won't spend that much time, but am curious what everyone thinks about the state of our Earth. I'm a firm believer in Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and have been living this way for a long time.
I find the older (my parents) generation don't seem as concerned and it bugs me. Are you concerned? What do you do that makes a difference? Should we do more as a people to get people on board? Let's get some ideas going here...

Moral dilemma? Or is it?
Posted:
11/22/2008 1:25:03 PM
I would put the money in a safe place then go to the police and tell them I found a large sum of money. Give them my info, and wait. If someone was to claim it, I would want details as to how much, what type of bills, etc. Not all police are honest, just because they wear the uniform. They could easily keep the money themselves and tell you it was claimed could they not?

The disappearing and reappearing load of crap
Posted:
11/9/2008 9:49:44 PM
(there is one lady down the street I call a cow)
Maybe she doesn't take too well to being called a cow.
Is it in patty form? Or pie form... and what's the difference between those two forms by the way? Or maybe it more resembles a log...
Maybe it's a bear... check the bear thread.
If I find out who, or what is doing it, what are my appropriate steps to take to make sure this doesn't happen again?

STOP SMOKING
Posted:
11/3/2008 7:39:04 PM
Quitting has been on my mind for what seems like forever. I've tried all the quitting aids. I think I just haven't been (really) ready. But I AM ready. How do you gear yourself up for it? The big quit.
It's disgusting, expensive, costs you more than money, dulls your senses, is embarrassing, makes you feel like a leper, there is nothing good about it. As Allan Carr states in his book, "it's like hitting your head against the wall just so it feels good when you stop..."
There is always a reason to put it off. Sometimes I think I'll be putting off until I'm dead.
H
E
L
P
I'm so sick of it, and I think I'm gearing up to make a real effort to finally give it up, but some encouraging tips are always welcome.

Are women with breast augmentation cheating with false advertising?
Posted:
9/23/2008 6:49:27 PM
I brought up this topic a while ago, only it was about reductions. Would that be considered false advertising? Showing up with less than I started with?
I can't shop for bras in regular stores, I have to spend a hundred bucks for the most basic bra. Still want the reduction but will hold off for a while yet...
Everyone 'seems' to want what they don't have.

Thanks for the link. Interesting how some people are so organized when it comes to this topic. I think it's different for people who have children, you have more than yourself to think about, and therefore think ahead a little more.
I don't have a lot of pics of myself, but I know others do, and will leave it up to them for the choosing.
"Three Angels" is a song that comes to mind for me, but I would exchange the 'New suit, and a new tie" for a new pair of jeans and a T-shirt that said "ciao for now", lol.
See you on the flip.

Where's the work ethic?
Posted:
9/14/2008 9:15:49 AM
Bringing back the punching of the clock might work for late arrivals and early departures BUT, what about the 8 hours while you're on the clock? And, there's always a chance they could get someone to punch their card for them.
The main thing I notice, in my particular field, is the amount of standing around doing nothing. I want to smack some of these young guys upside the head sometimes. Checking their phones for texts, or just looking around stupidly. Drives me nuts. There is always stuff to be done, and when they're asked to do something they begrudgingly drag their feet and take an hour to do a ten minute job.
I don't know what it is, but I get antsy if I'm not constantly working, where some of the young people I've worked with would be happy to do nothing all day. It's weird. I need to feel productive, they could give a rats ass.
I'll probably get heat for this, but I blame the parents. And I believe this because I have come across some younger folk, just starting out in the work force, that DO have a good work ethic, and it's very clear where they got it from.
Using television, computers, gaming, etc., as a babysitter/occupier of time is the lazy way to go. It's easy, and I can't say that I wouldn't be guilty of abusing it myself if I had kids, but what about chores, earning you're keep. Not having everything handed to you. And playing outside for the love of Pete!
Just my dime.

Thanks for all the responses.
Very sorry for your loss Energy, and you're right, it seems it's during the toughest times, we can somehow gather the strength we need to pull through.
I like this comment;
You will get to the end soon enough and I think that most of us are meant to experience each stage of life and gather the wisdom that comes with and then move on
Saying 'I'd rather die young' in my OP, was more of an off the cuff remark reflecting my mood at the time, and I probably shouldn't have said it because I don't REALLY feel that way. I'm not afraid of getting older, in fact I welcome it with open arms. I feel like I've already lived about four lifetimes, and I'm only 37. I look to the future with optimism and eager anticipation.
I'm more curious than anything, I think. I very strongly believe in reincarnation, and the spirit continuing on it's journey. Acquiring new wisdom, learning new lessons, and becoming a more evolved entity. If this is not the case, and we're just pushing up daisies, well then I guess I'll be none the wiser.
It is tough though, when someone passes at what 'seems' to be before their time. But who knows, maybe it was their time all along...
This is the perfect analogy:
"Life is like a roll of toilet paper... the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes."
P.S. I love Six Feet Under, and when I go, I want a celebration with lots of laughter and good tunes (of which I also have to make note of)

Have you ever imagined your own death? Pictured your own funeral. Who would be there, who would speak, and thought about what they might say?
Have you thought about certain music/songs you would like at your service?
Do you ever think about what you would do if a certain someone close to you died unexpectedly? Ie: changes you might make in your own life.
Have you lost someone who died too early in life, and stopped to reflect on what really matters?
Have you ever pictured the death of a loved one?
I know it's kind of a morbid topic, but at the same time, it's part of life. Personally, I don't think I want to grow old... I'd rather die young.

40 Tons of Butts!
Posted:
8/20/2008 7:19:29 PM
When I still smoked, I used to keep an empty Cig Pack with me to dispose the Filters, then trash the Pack when full.
I still smoke (unfortunately), but this is exactly what I do ^^^. And I actually use the ashtray in my car.
I can barely stand to smoke anywhere in public these days, as I feel like a leper, and I wouldn't dream of smoking on the beach. If I don't happen to have an empty cig pack on hand, I will extinguish the cigarette and find the nearest trash can, even if I see a bunch of butts on the ground.
Time to quit already. Where's that thread, I need some encouragement...

I think they were called parachute pants, really baggy upper and then tapered down to the ankle... my gawd.
And what about those shorts that were half one colour, and half another.
And yes, the really big hair for the girls, and the long scraggly hair for the guys.

Is banning bottled water a good idea?
Posted:
8/19/2008 9:55:00 PM
I think it's all the same scam. Scare tactics. I haven't looked at your profile (Black Sapphire) so I'm not sure where you live, but I do agree (with some posters) that the whole bottled water industry is a scam. Perrier has been around since the eighties, and (I think) is considered a mineral water, I couldn't tell you what difference that makes...
I guess, really, the only thing I can comment on is taste. I like my Brita water...

My late cat Ozzy (the cat who thought he was a dog) would follow me around, would come when I called him, and would get excited when I would pet him.
My dog (fictitious) seems to be living vicariously through my cat.

Did you know.................? Origins of words and phrases and rituals
Posted:
8/19/2008 9:15:23 PM
I received an email (actually a few times) but can't seem to find it, so this is what I can remember, please don't quote me, and my facts are probably fiction, but here's one:
Dead Ringer... apparently back in olden times, they had to dig up some graves (cant remember why), but they found, inside the caskets (wooden) scratch/claw marks, which they deducted were put there from people who had been buried alive, so in order to avoid this horrific thing from happening in the future, they would tie a piece of string to a deceased (or so thought) persons finger, and at the other end was a bell, which was kept above ground, so if someone was buried alive, they would be moving frantically, and in turn would make the bell ring. "For whom the bell tolls". They, of course, would have to have people put in place to listen for these bells ringing, which bore the GRAVEYARD SHIFT. Yikes! Imagine that.
Now, from what I can gather, today's description of a "Dead Ringer", is someone who looks like someone else. Like a Doppleganger. Ie: she's a "dead ringer" for her Mother. Don't ask me how a person who is buried alive, becomes a long lost twin...
In this fun fact filled email were a bunch of these old time phrases, like "raining cats and dogs" and a bunch more that I can't remember, but will keep looking...

Posted:

I remember seeing strong advice to NOT reuse the bottles in which you purchase bottled water. It was a health concern. I do not remember exactly why for I never buy bottle water and had no reason to try to remember.
Yes I heard something in passing recently, but didn't get the whole story, I think maybe it's along the same lines as those recalled sports bottles... something about off-gassing maybe? Not sure. Maybe I'll go buy one of those big 4L thermos/cooler type things just to be on the safe side. Thanks, I'd forgotten about that. Be a lot quicker to fill one vessel anyways, and I could do away with the plastic bottles completely. Keeping it cool for the day (in this heat) would be the challenge, as I also work outside.
I always
at flaggers, and courteous drivers...

I will buy a six pack of bottled water every few months or more and then reuse the bottles. I go through about 4 - 710ml bottles a day at work this time of year and can't imagine buying that much water. I just fill them with my Brita water every day, even here in the 'loops where the water out of the tap is fine. Once I've used up all of my Brita filters, I will switch to just filling them with tap water.
Reduce, REUSE, Recycle! It's not hard to refill a bottle.

It is creepy when people avoid eye contact?
Posted:
7/25/2008 7:14:24 PM
Wow. Good thread. I was reading it yesterday, and now feel compelled to comment.
Not sure how "avoiding eye contact" became about mental dysfunction, lack of sociality/sociopath tendencies, or some sort of physical/mental abuse. Those aren't the only things to consider. They are definitely valid reasons, but not the only possibilities.
Being a person that has trouble holding eye contact for longer than 10 or 20 seconds at a time, and where none of the above apply, I must put this out there...
I am a hyper sensitive person, and I do agree with "the eyes are the windows to the soul". I feel that my eyes reveal A LOT.
Some of the reasons (I think) that I will avoid eye contact:
I'm attracted to someone who is unavailable.
I get bad vibes from someone.
Someone is attracted to me, who I'm not attracted to.
Someone who talks too much, and I want to get away.
I'm a Pisces, and from what I've read, it is hard to hold eye contact with us, as well as Geminis. For different reasons though. Pisces people can seem to be "guilty of something" to other people because of the lack of eye contact. This fits me to a tee. Geminis' brains are always going and they are constantly observing their surroundings, and may appear to have "darting" eyes. For those of you who don't acknowledge astrology..., well, it's your loss. I've seen enough to find some truth... flaky as I may seem.
Although I have trouble 'holding' eye contact, I'm very good at putting people at ease and have always been told that I'm easy to get along with (I am passive and humble) and have a knack for diffusing difficult situations.
So it goes to show that as earthlings, we are very diverse, and there are countless explanations for why we are the way we are.
My approach is always tentative when it comes to people who are easily put at unease. There isn't any one single right way to approach and handle someone who's comfort zone isn't what we're used to. I think you have to just "figure it out" as you go. Go with your gut.
P.S. This kind of reminds me of the "close talker" episode of Seinfeld, where the guy would talk nose to nose with whomever he was talking to.

STOP SMOKING
Posted:
4/5/2008 8:59:11 PM
sponge
Have you read Allan Carr's Easy way to quit smoking? If not you really should pick up this book, its an easy read , I read the book and smoked my last cigarette during the final chapter and quit cold turkey. If you were to time the reading of this book with your medication, this might just do the trick for you. I was a die hard smoker, I had tried quitting many times, I tried the patch, zyban, hypnotherapy, lazer therapy. the book worked for me.
I have this book, and when you're ready to quit, this book will be all you will need. I've read it a couple of times, but it just wasn't my time, I wasn't ready. I've also tried every other method under the sun and they all worked to some degree, but mentally I just wasn't ready. When I'm ready to make the attempt, I will pick up that book again. I just makes so much sense. I'm a little weary of the Champix pill as I've heard about all the side affects and don't know if I can handle them, although I hear it's working for many people.
Either way, good luck to you and keep us updated on your progress.
Cheers!

Black in Your Wardrobe
Posted:

Black is a staple in any wardrobe. You can splash it up with some colour, class it up with some earth tones, or goth it up with more black. Basic black. Timeless, and free of trends. Personally, I think everyone suits black. (Not head to toe, of course..., but some black)

Your father was a sperm bank donor, or you were him.
Posted:
2/10/2008 10:19:47 PM
The website I found had fairly rigorous testing for potential donors. And the testing was ongoing. Pretty in depth. Not like a guy could just drop in, do his thing and walk out with a paycheck. And they also stated that (far from popular belief) they don't have "helpers", which I thought was kind of funny. Also, there was an abstinence period of 72 hours.
Yes, it is amazing what the www can provide. Kind of mind boggling.

I also caught the end of Oprah on Friday, and thought it was a nice happy beginning for the siblings.
Did anyone see Law and Order last night? It may have been a repeat, but was new to me, and was about this very topic. An ego maniacal doctor with a fertility clinic was using his own sperm to impregnate his patients, and he had dozens of offspring. Makes you wonder.
Got me thinking so I did a google search and found a donor clinic and started to peruse the donor specimens. In a way, it kind of made me think of designer babies. How you can pick and choose the traits, from eye and hair colour, to height and build, to ethnicity, to hobbies, to religion, to blood type, education level, GPA, SAT scores, and even IQ in some cases. There was both maternal and paternal medical histories, and occupations of said, as well as all of their traits. Talk about shopping for your own idea of perfection.
It's definitely a lot to think about if you're going to go that route.

What Do Women Want?
Posted:
1/9/2008 6:55:36 PM
Different women want different things. We are NOT all the same. Example. I have a close friend who recently broke up with her fiance (sp?) after being with him for about 5 years?, engaged for three... I knew it wouldn't last, right from the get go. Any engagement that lasts longer than a year and a half to two years ain't gonna happen. She (slowly, over the years) lost her luster. She wasn't happy with him, and I could see it. She's a very materialistic person and stayed with him for the comfort and freedom that his bank account provided. I was constantly shaking my head. And I think she would have continued to stay with him, had he not thrown in the towel.
I've been stuck in unhappy situations in the past, and will never be in that place again. And it had nothing to do with money. I'm self sufficient, and expect the same. I don't expect to be provided for. Some women, on the other hand, look for that. And it's like a previous poster stated, I don't think any of us (men/women) want some unemployed slob. But there is definitely different types of women, some who want a sugar daddy, and some (like me) who just want a partner to share life with.
I've sensed a fair amount of bitterness from some of the men in this thread. Kind of makes me question the types of women you've encountered/dated/had relationships with, and maybe it's time to take a look at that. Are you attracted to the totally hot barbie doll, that you just want to take home and screw (of course you are), and then you end up dating them, and they turn into selfish ****es? Hmmm. Of course these are just presumptions. There are also average looking women that are total biatches too, lol.
Either way, just like there are a lot of good men out there, that are honest, sincere, and seriously looking for a perfect mate, there are financially stable, self sufficient, caring women who are looking for the same.
Cheers, and Happy New Year! (my first post of the year)

A Very Differant Broken Heart, Is there really plenty of fish in the sea ?...

You are VERY ANGRY. Understandably. You are VERY BITTER. Understandably as well.
But what good are those emotions going to do you now? You can lay blame all around town as much as you want, but what it is, in reality, is an unfortunate set of circumstances. Your son is gone, and I'm very sorry for that (can't even imagine), but there's nothing to be done about that now.
Not to sound callous, or uncaring, but people die every minute of every day. Including the children of of good, caring parents, who happen upon a busy street on their new bicycle... Point being, is that it can happen to anyone, good intentions or otherwise.
FORGIVENESS. Bottom line. For others. For yourself. If you can't find it, you'll never move on. This is my belief. Not saying this is right for everyone, but for me, it's the only way.
Peace to you.

^^^ I agree! (nice pic BTW, lol)
I like the dinner suggestion as well. Maybe a small gift, nothing too extreme. It IS a new relationship after all.
Happy holidays all you fishies!!!

Crap, can't make it this time.
I will definitely try to be out for the next one though. And the skating thing sounds fun, but I would also have to rent skates.
Have fun everyone! And keep warm.

To Cody: okay then, I'm sorry for your loss, but why so callous? How can you say he did us a favour by cleaning up the streets?

Wow. Cody11. You've obviously never known someone, cared for someone, loved someone, who found themselves addicted to a substance (doesn't matter what). People are not trash. No one is a throw away. No matter what. Everyone has circumstances and things that have led them to where they are. Everyone deserves compassion. Even the scum of the earth, like Willy P. Tho he's not getting any from me at the moment. Sounds like you're basically saying genocide is a good way to clean up the streets. Get rid of 'em all in one fell swoop. If that were the answer, then there wouldn't be much left of humankind.

This looks like fun. Gonna try and make it. Haven't snowboarded in a few years and would definitely need to take a lesson if I was going to hop on a board again. May just two plank it this time and try boarding again in the Spring.
I'll sign up in the next day or two, when I know for sure. I'm also interested in carpooling, and don't mind taking my car (just put a couple winter tires on), but wouldn't mind sharing the trip.

Do we attract what we get?
Posted:
12/1/2007 9:48:22 PM
Okay, I think I get your meaning. Kind of like "what doesn't kill me, only makes me stronger"? And I do believe that we are presented with many challenges throughout the course of our lifetimes. Some people may seem to have it all and cause envy in others, but really, none of us knows what others have going on in their lives. Our challenges may differ in extremity (or appear to), but it's my belief that the challenges we face, as well as the successes, are proportionate to what we can handle (or not, ie. suicide). But it is also my belief that each life is a lesson to be learned. What that lesson is, well maybe we figure it out on our deathbed, I don't know. I can speculate on my own life.
My mistake, I get the question now.
Cheers!
P.S. The full moon comment was more a thought to myself re. my mood. I do remember that full moon a week ago, because it was bright orange!!! Amazing.

I can control peoples minds. All I have to do is think about something/someone, and there it is/there they are. It's, quite frankly, amazing. The unfortunate part is learning (being unable) to control MY OWN mind. Because (I know you're not supposed to start a sentence with 'because', but I don't care) all I can seem to think about is crappy/negative people. So that is what comes my way.
Okay, I'm kidding (sort of). Again. Weird mood tonight. Is it a full moon?
I am a hyper sensitive person, which is why I avoid negativity at all costs. It's basically for my own survival. I've 'broken up' with a couple of friends over the years because of their negativity. Although they always say "I'm not negative, I'm just realistic". I call bullshit. Negativity brings on the same. As does positivity. IMO.
Now that doesn't mean that I think EVERYTHING is brought on by us alone. I do believe in a higher power. But attitude plays a big role, I think. As does just plain old circumstance, time and place. And no offense to the OP, but I think it should have been worded more like, "Do we get what we put out?" - Or something to that effect. Sorry, I know it's semantics...
Cheers, and well wishes to all the fishes... (poet, didn't know it)
