If you died today....
Posted: 12/3/2008 1:29:26 PM
eventually my work would call to find out why in the HE double LL I wasn't coming to work.... I'm figuring about 3 days.... that would give my dogs time to devour a good deal of my dead, rotting carcass. Then they'd have to call in CSI to identify cause of death, I'll be on TV.....

Time to get out and make some friends..... or make a deal with another single person to call and check on each other every couple of days, just so the dogs don't get a belly full.

Tattoos on the breasts
Posted: 11/25/2008 12:15:25 PM
I feel ya ebrown....

Not that I have anything against gals who do get tat's there, or anywhere for that matter, it all boils down to choice. Personally, I don't want to mar the natural beauty of my breasts.. I have beautiful breast and they don't need any art to draw attention to them....

...and you are not the only man I have heard discuss this issue...I have found that of the men I know more find it a turn off rather than a turn on.

I hear ya setuid......"friendly" is too often mistaken for "come on".

I'm a social butterfly and interact with people.... too many times guys have thought I was coming on to them when I was just simply trying to make conversation or learn something.

I am a born flirt and there's no mistaking when I'm flirting.....just wish more knew the art of the "flirt" ....life could be so much more exciting that way.

Dressing too young
Posted: 11/25/2008 10:59:25 AM
it's called decorum.... not to show your flabby belly or nasty stretch marks in those low line bluejeans and mid-drift tops (just to mention one), regardless of what age you are, just because you feel comfortable with your flab...

It's no secret that most of us look better with our clothes on rather than off...and for the life of me I don't understand how people can think they look good in clothes that are two sizes too small for them, yet i know those who insist upon wearing them.

Personally, I belong to the school that says dress comfortably, tastefully and stylishly; attempting to always look your best....so if you think you look your best in those hip hugger, two sizes too small jeans and that mid-drift top that allows your wrinkled, beer belly flab to hang over 2 inches and your cellulite to see the sunlight go for it!
You are empowered...... with tastelessness!

Each to his own dress code....dress however you desire, but know that there are those of us out there who will nudge our friends, point you out, snicker and whisper ...."check out......

go ahead make my day.... I need the chuckle

Low Iron levels...nutrition/ natural remedies...anyone??
Posted: 11/25/2008 9:59:53 AM
I'm with rainsands on using cast iron cookware, however I've read that the iron is higher if you are cooking foods high in acids, like tomatoes. Also read that to cook sulfured foods in them releases high amounts of absorbable iron into the foods.

sulfur is a preservative and something the old timers did to preserve fruits. My grandmother used to sulfur apples and you may still be able to find some fruits that are preserved this way. The Amish in our area sell such items.

you may also try horsetail...I found mine at the health food store.

Have you ever had a passionate kiss that rendered you unable to walk?
Posted: 11/25/2008 7:30:29 AM
I was 17 and he was 23, and experienced in the "ways of the world". We were on the front porch of my family home as he was returning me from a date. It was our 1st kiss....and it was intoxicating, leaving me breathless, speechless and totally weak. I'd never been kissed like that before or since. It must have been the moonlight!

Forgiveness
Posted: 11/25/2008 7:20:33 AM
To forgive is divine, to forget is stupid!

Forgiveness is possible and necessary if you want to stay healthy. It's designed for the benefit of both the giver and receiver....but more for the giver!

The best book I can recommend on the subject is the true life story of a woman who was a prison in Hitler's death camps. She lost everything and everyone in her family, she and her sister were abused and tormented by a particular guard and when freed from the prison years later ran into that same guard and was able to forgive him, and love him as a fellow human being. Now that's forgiveness! The name of that book is "the Hiding Place" written by Corrie Temboom (sp?) about her life. It's an excellent book and I recommend it to anyone struggling with harboring unforgiveness.

Good luck Christine...if you are struggling with forgiving someone who's hurt or abused you then please read that book and seek out help. It's hard to move forward in life if the past has you captive.

My bad, I should have articulated that a bit better, I can see where you and other readers were mislead by that statement. I'm sorry that you make those nasty "gagging sounds" while giving ultimate DP/BJ, but the noises I was referring to were not intended to be the ones accompanying the JB...but the actual "deed".

You'd be surprised what some 45 years olds DON'T know.....who defecated in your Wheeties this morning? Sheesh!

Could you ever date someone that owns a pitbull as a pet?
Posted: 11/21/2008 10:32:30 AM
When I meet a person that owns a pitbull... my 1st question would be WHY? in other words... what type of person are you?

Get to understand the HUMAN behind the pitbull 1st and foremost. That is the telltale sign.


excellent point springazure44. I have found there are very FEW bad dogs....just LOTS of bad dog owners!!!

It is true that Pits, Rottie's, G. Shepherd's and Dobies are power breeds, and they can get aggressive, yet responsible dog owners who handle their dogs properly should have no worries, nor should you.

I've owned and raised Dobies for years and have never had a bad one. My brother has had several Pits and all were sweet, lovable dogs. My point is this----Look at the owner before you judge the dog!

Dog Training...HELP!!!
Posted: 11/21/2008 9:48:57 AM
drac36 --

Google dog breeds and find the one that's right for your situation...breeds were created to provide different jobs and/or purposes for humans..... find a breed that works for you and don't try to make a breed fit you, find the breed that YOU fit.

I have had a little experience with beagles...never owned one, but my cousin would have nothing else and I've dated a few rabbit hunters, for which the breed was designed.

They are working dogs and need exercise, they can become aggressive and they are barkers!!! they are also roamers. It's not unusual for me to find beagles in the neighborhood ( live in the country) running with their noses to the ground in search of prey.....miles from their homes. I've called many a beagle owner to come get their dogs.

I'd reconsider a beagle for your living arrangements. Yorke's , Min. Schnauzers, Scotties, Cairn Terriers.... may be more suited for your circumstances. A Jack Russell, maybe if your son is very responsible, attentive and active!

Word to the wise, put your number on the collar. Good luck and enjoy your dog, regardless of what you decide on.

here's a hint for those of you who are nervous...
dress in sexy attire which accentuates your strong points and downplays the areas you don't like...get him hot and bothered, wow him with your talent, deep throat him and be sure to be vocal during the deed and he wont notice all the things your nervous about....you may find that he'll find you unforgettable!

duckling....

sex under the crucifix? ..... was Jesus watching?

You can bet he was watching; he's watching EVERY time you have sex...

Don't sweat it though, it couldn't be any worse than having sex with a preacher.... kinkiest sex I ever had!

what redeemed me was that it wasn't in my mom's bed...

OP...chill out about the kid in the bed, she has a logical reasoning behind it and if they are changing the sheets....what's the deal. I think most everyone has had sex in their parents bed, including me....I didn't stop there either.... I christened every bed in the house! I stopped short at my grandparents bed though.... I was afraid fire and brimstone would rain down on me.

APPLES
Posted: 11/19/2008 12:02:20 PM
Johnathon is a good baker.

I love dried apple hand pies and they are a tradition in my family for the holidays.

we dry our apples on tin during the summer and store them in the freezer. To reconstitute them soak over night and then cook them down with sugar and water, season the way you want..kind of the same flavor you want in apple butter, but not as strong.

the dough is pie dough only a little more loose.
cook apples dry and put a spoonful in a pie round about 3- 4 inches in diameter fold over seal and bake.

wash with a sugar and water wash, serve cold....will keep for a few dyas at room temp but they never last that long.

Brew-it-yourself wine kits.
Posted: 11/19/2008 12:00:20 PM
I love wine, red or white. Have tried my hand at making it the old fashioned way but with small children, a job and the demands of a household let it go to vinegar. Now that the kids are grown and the oldest brewing is own beer (he makes a great beer and taught me to appreciate a good beer, no watered down american stuff for me anymore) I've entertained the idea that I'd try my hand at wines again.

Thanks for all the tips, links and the inspiration.

PS... OP, I love a good elderberry wine!

You could be at the point in your life that you realize you don't need anyone to make you complete

You could be depressed,

You could just be rebellious...lol

Maybe the men you meet are dull...

Whatever it is, talk to people you trust, see a doctor, get some counciling.....get involved in something outside of you...something bigger than you. Take two gypsy's advice..

flirting is an art....and can go from sublimely subtle to the outright bold and aggressive...what's your flavor?.... or your flavor for the moment, because it changes..moment to moment, person to person, place to place

It's all about intuition and awareness, body language and innuendo...

some play the game well..... just remember to practice your art and have fun....no broken hearts please!

She could have settled the whole thing up front, the night it happened, by simply addressing the friend when he 1st touched her, and should have!

To tell her boyfriend now is only stirring trouble and for her to have continued to allow it will make the bf question her, or would in my mind....

gun control in the usa
Posted: 11/18/2008 8:59:49 AM
unixken

To my mind, the whole gun control versus liberty argument comes down to one side of the citizenry showing their willingness to rely upon "the government", and those willing to rely upon themselves. "The government" feels threatened by the SELF-reliant citizenry. And THAT is as it should be.


Well said!!!!

Why is a U.S. Army brigade being assigned to the Homeland?
Posted: 11/14/2008 1:30:59 PM
Read your history folks.... The US government has deployed US troops against it's citizenry in the past. Read about the strikes in the coal fields of West Virginia in the early 1900's, when the miners were trying to unionize.

http://www.wvculture.org/hiStory/minewars.html

"Not only did the UMWA send speechmakers, it also contributed large amounts of weapons and ammunition. On September 2, Governor William E. Glasscock imposed martial law, dispatching 1,200 state militia to disarm both the miners and mine guards. Over the course of the strike, Glasscock sent in troops on three different occasions."

"n September 1, President Harding finally sent federal troops from Fort Thomas, Kentucky. War hero Billy Mitchell led an air squadron from Langley Field near Washington, D.C. The squadron set up headquarters in a vacant field in the present Kanawha City section of Charleston. Several planes did not make it, crashing in such distant places as Nicholas County, Raleigh County, and southwestern Virginia, and military air power played no important part in the battle. On the 3rd, the first federal troops arrived at Jeffrey, Sharples, Blair, and Logan. Confronted with the possibility of fighting against U.S. troops, most of the miners surrendered. Some of the miners on Blair Mountain continued fighting until the 4th, at which time virtually all surrendered or returned to their homes. During the fighting, at least twelve miners and four men from Chafin's army were killed."

Is working for a family member a positive or negative?
Posted: 11/14/2008 10:23:21 AM
All honest work is honorable... I think working with my Mom in the family business is a great approach and should be gotten out of the way early....

With that being said.....how's your relationship with your Mother? That could have more bearing on your prospective relationship than the fact that you work for her. Have the emotional, controlling apron strings been severed? Does she still do your laundry and cooking, and give advice on every detail of your day? Do you have to have her approval on who you date?

I've worked for family and it is tough, especially if your Mother is a control freak, like mine. It caused problems for me and for my marriage; I was young then and eventually saw the error of my ways...I no longer work for her, and God willing, wont ever work for her again. We get along much better as controlling mother/rebellious daughter than boss /underling.

Posted: 11/14/2008 9:13:08 AM
I've read that often times people who carry guns are more likely to be killed with them than to kill....not sure how accurate that is, but logic says that good people will often hesitate when confronted in the hopes of not having to hurt another.

My theory is that if you're gonna carry a gun or own one you'd best be prepared to pull the trigger when you pull the gun...if you can't pull a trigger then don't carry a gun!

Hesitation will kill you!

the biggest thing between a couple and their bedroom life is to feel that you have freedom to be your total sexual self, without fear of judgment or ridicule. Ask yourself if you have this freedom and if you don't then I suggest you find someone with whom you can be compatible with in the sac.

gun control in the usa
Posted: 11/13/2008 10:36:09 AM
AMEN on TEACH THE CHILDREN...

I am one of 5 children and we were all taught to respect guns. We knew that all the guns in our home, and there were several, were loaded and deadly. We were never allowed to handle a gun unless in the presence of an adult, and that adult taught us to properly handle firearms. We were given regular demonstrations on gun safety and the deadliness of a gun.

Both my parents hunted and the evidence of what a gun can do was cooked and served at dinner.

All 5 of us are responsible gun owners and have continued the tradition of teaching our children the proper use and purpose of firearms. There are no gun locks on any of our weapons and will not be.

My home was broken into a year back and if I'd have been home there would be one less thief to rob another home and a trigger lock may have insured that there'd be one less homeowner to protect her home!

reflections about today's historic moment
Posted: 11/13/2008 10:28:31 AM
The car manufacturers and the government should have seen this coming.... SUV's vs. economy cars. I mean for real, they've know that oil is a dwindling resource and yet they carry on as if it's not. It doesn't take a genius to know that that industry should have been more serious about designing cars that were more fuel efficient and the government spending more on alternative fuel sources, it's been no surprise to them ...yet they want to wait until it's the 11th hour then cry uncle.

And what about our personal responsibility... as educated adults we ought to have know that spending more than you bring in results in a crash, both in our personal finances and in the governments. You wouldn't lend a friend large amounts of money when you know his payment history is poor.... yet that's exactly what the banking industry has done, with the blessings of the government.... dem's and rep's.

The average personal credit card debt is what now...15,000.00 ? My gawd.... greed, materialism and ignorance, and lack of personal responsibility in spending has gotten here and now we expect the government to bail us and everyone else out!

I agree with you on the Rep's losing the moderates. They've screwed (some literally) themselves right out of power. Scandal after scandal, excesses and abuses.... both parties are guilty of it...and who pays? The taxpayer--- you and me.

I'm sick to death of the status quo....yet what is to be done about it.... We've not had a good presidential candidate in years, for me it has boiled down to the lesser of two evils when I cast my vote, and the choices seem to get worse each election.

reflections about today's historic moment
Posted: 11/13/2008 7:43:10 AM
I, too, cried when I heard the election news, at the historic threshold we crossed and the tragedy that it will bring to this once powerful nation..... legalized abortion, the abandonment of Israel, Socialism...or worse Marxism, gun control, extreme liberal supreme court justices...the list goes on.

Yet American's have spoken and they're gonna get what they wanted, or maybe deserve...CHANGE...but at what cost!

Here's an article I found interesting~~

Georgia congressman warns of Obama dictatorship

By BEN EVANS – 2 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship.

"It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he's the one who proposed this national security force," Rep. Paul Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. "I'm just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may — may not, I hope not — but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism."

Broun cited a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military.

"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist."

Obama's comments about a national security force came during a speech in Colorado about building a new civil service corps. Among other things, he called for expanding the nation's foreign service and doubling the size of the Peace Corps "to renew our diplomacy."

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," Obama said in July. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

Broun said he also believes Obama likely will move to ban gun ownership if he does build a national police force.

Obama has said he respects the Second Amendment right to bear arms and favors "common sense" gun laws. Gun rights advocates interpret that as meaning he'll at least enact curbs on ownership of assault weapons and concealed weapons. As an Illinois state lawmaker, Obama supported a ban on semiautomatic weapons and tighter restrictions on firearms generally.

"We can't be lulled into complacency," Broun said. "You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I'm not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I'm saying is there is the potential."

Obama's transition office did not respond immediately to Broun's remarks

POF undercover sex site??

I hate to hear that about your Mother. It's times like those that you wish you had someone to draw some strength and comfort from, and an occasional back-rub. I'll keep you and your Mom in my thoughts and prayers.

And you are right, the drama of a man may just push you over the edge, you need to keep a reserve for yourself to pull from, and a new relationship can pull you away from what's important right now.

Hang tough...
