What defines an Alcoholic. Posted: 3/8/2008 4:09:26 PM
I'm with brawnydog, if you have any real concern whether you're an alcoholic, read the book. Read the 'Doctor's Opinion', 'Bill's Story', and 'More About Alcoholism'. Good Luck

Confidence vs arrogance Posted: 3/8/2008 3:15:49 PM
nice thread kathy. arrogance is defined as 'offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride'. the mitigating factor is humility. that, in my opinion, is what differentiates arrogance from confidence. humility is the cure for arrogance, but the instant you think you're humble, you're not. here's a test; if you think i just attacked you, you're probably arrogant (see also - pride). humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.

i know that this subject but ive never discussed it here so here it goes.. Posted: 3/7/2008 10:16:03 PM
Wow, I'm somewhat ashamed that in my youth I had been one of those guys chasing the girls with just one thing on his mind. Of course, my major consolation is that I had never been able to develope those skills. Sure, I've known for years I'm a slut, I just really suck at it. Whaaaat? Stop laughing. Seriously though, I'm with mom on this one. You are a great example of the kind of women we should be raising in our society. Your parents have done well, truly. Be well, be strong and be safe.

The California RE market Posted: 3/7/2008 9:48:45 PM
Wow, awesome thread Sari. I'm still kinda new to being a homeowner, so when chicken little started screaming it scared the crap outa me. Luckily, I have a decent loan and good L/V, so I won't have to worry about my loan adjusting for several years. I really appreciate all of the posters that have added to this thread. In fact, there is a good chance that this debacle could work out to my benefit. With the feds dropping the rates, I might be able to get a better deal. I'm looking into that.

What YOU can offer as opposed to... only what YOU want. (?) Posted: 3/7/2008 2:54:34 PM
[it's the internet, people can choose to say whatever they like. ] hmmmm, that sounds like a good subject for a new thread. something like, "have you ever posted something and wished you could take it back?"

Is Height an issue to Men? Posted: 3/7/2008 1:59:00 PM
[ My problem is with women who say that they prefer a taller man, but then would never date who is short statured. This is a requirement, not a preference. I would have the same problem with a guy who says that he prefers large breasted women, but then never gives a smaller breasted woman a chance. ] ok, i'm playing devils' advocate here. i have a requirement that women i date be all woman. is that ok? or should i give the herm a shot? back to the topic- i like women tall or short. i grew up watching and listening to sonny and cher. i luuuuuuved them as a couple. but then there is something to be said for 'le petit cheri'. it's a scalar thing, if ya get my drift.

Introduce Yourself Here. Posted: 3/7/2008 1:38:33 PM
um, pardon me, but this seems a little redundant. isn't that what the profile is for? but, ok, whatever. my name is mike and i've got profiles on a few sites. in the short time i've been here, this is my favorite. and now i've found the forums. i like to imagine the moderators look like jerry springer. so expect to see alot of me....at least until i get a hobby, or a girlfriend, or.... so, here i am, um, look at me? or don't, that's ok too. i will say that there's a lot of people here that seem real nice, and i hope to know some of them better. nuf said.

Why Lie!? Posted: 3/7/2008 1:27:04 PM
wow. i checked the box that says 'a few pounds', even though i've put on about 20 pounds since the pics in my profile (the one on the bike was after i, um, er, filled out, but ya can't really tell anything from that). i think i wear it well and look pretty much the same, but all this talk about 'truth in advertising' is makin me feel a little guilty about using that descriptor. . . . but back on topic, i'd suggest you be honest, but civil. say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. i know, i know...harder that it sounds sometimes.

Dear Ali- Post your personal questions and advice here Posted: 3/7/2008 12:45:38 PM
Dear Abby, Dear Myself, How does a girl who lives in the Boonies (!) find a good man? Requirements: He must have MOST of his own teeth (paid for or not). His Truck has to be low enough that I don't have to rappel out the door. He must have No More than 4 dogs sleeping outside his trailer door. His Model Tank collection should take up no more than 2 shelves in his gun room. He should respect his ex-wife/gf's restraining order. He should make an effort to attend every scheduled court appearance. Am I being too picky? Do you grade on a curve? Hopeful Hank

Lycos 101 Posted: 3/7/2008 11:37:22 AM
i've never been a fan of leykis but, like jerry springer, he's kinda fun to listen to once every couple months. i don't agree that having a messy car is a sign that your finances are messed up, any more than i think it's a gender thing. my brother cleans his truck out only when it takes longer to pick up the stuff that falls out when ya open the door. his finances are fine, um, kinda...define messy? winning the lottery couldn't hurt.

To Chase or not to Chase... Posted: 3/6/2008 4:43:48 PM
Hmmmm, funny you should ask. This thread seems kinda like a couple others I've read concerning women's rights. I believe that women are on equal footing with men (or should be), not just in the workplace but in the social arena as well. Ya know that thing they say? The one about Eve being made from Adams' rib, not to walk ahead of, or behind, but beside, as an equal? It's like that. But to truly be equal you need to accept the responsibilities as well as the rights. So to answer your question, yep, I think you (women in general) should take a more proactive role in dating. Just my opinion.

I'm not attracted to women my age. Posted: 3/6/2008 4:05:56 PM
a friend told me a story and you might apply the same principle to your dillemma. he was struggling to find a job that suited his skills and abilities, as well as one that he liked. his friend told him that instead of searching for the perfect job for him, he should try to be the right guy for the job. he's been happily at that job for 27 years now.

Councilman Wants Birth Control for Pigeons Posted: 3/6/2008 11:14:09 AM
i like your option, a little birdshot. the real problem as i see it is 'big pharaceutical' pushing pills again, with the politicians as their henchmen.

Why farting??? Posted: 3/3/2008 11:20:37 AM
a certain man had led a very sheltered life and wanted to try something new in his sexuality. he went to a hooker and asked for something different. she asked if he had ever tried 69, and when he told her no, they went at it. he was doing so well at it that she lost control and a fart slipped out. moments later another one. all the while he made no mention of her transgression, so she looked down at him and asked how he was liking it so far. he said, 'oh, it's alright, but i don't know if i can take 67 more of those'.

a man gets on an elevator, and a woman riding on it asks him 'can i smell your balls?' indignantly, the man replies 'no way, lady'. the woman says, 'then it must be your feet'.

a kid went to pick his date for the first time, and while she was still getting ready her dad told him to sit on the couch. suddenly he needed to fart. he tried to hold it, but it slipped quietly out. the dad looked and the dog sitting next to the couch and said, 'duuuuke'. inwardly the kid was thrilled that he thought it was the dog. another one slipped out and the dad said, 'duuuuuke, you better move before he shits on you'.
