^^^yup, that's just what I'm sayin'...and I don't really think they should be just stopping folks on the street unless there's some suspicious behavior (i.e., the "suspect" is adjusting the gun stuck in his waistband/pocketing the money from an observed drug transaction/striking another person/etc.). Otherwise, its like the old WWII movies with the dudes in the black uniforms..."Show us your papers."

Do they have the right to request ID? Assuredly. Maybe that's not right, but that's the way it is. I'm a clean cut fella, but I've been asked to show ID before, sometimes when I was clearly inebriated. But I remembered what I was taught: Don't ** with the ers. Show a little respect, hope you're not carrying your weed right then, and you should be okay. But it really makes me uneasy, this militarization of the police. Here in Houston, there are home invasions (which usually only happen to folks who are involved in "risky business"). But to see film of PD members busting in the door to a house without presenting a warrant and proper ID themselves...hell, isn't that what the British did to the colonists? Warrantless search and seizure? I wonder how the hell that's constitutional. And of course, the homeowner, whether they're running from the law or not, may think they're being invaded...so the police shoot them when they appear with a weapon to protect themselves and their home. I've had good and bad experiences with law enforcement (I think calling them pigs is just wrong...don't judge them as pigs until they act like pigs, huh?) but I just remember the rule: Don't with the **ers, and it usually turns out just fine. Unless, of course, they put me in jail again. Then it sucks.

Something you've always wanted to do, but never did ... Posted: 8/9/2008 3:02:50 PM
Hmmm...great ideas...so...I'd like to write a book, too, and get rich doing it. That way I can buy a plane or helicopter and learn to fly. Then I can fly down to the train station and ride through Canada playing my guitar for old folks who speak German on my way to my little cabin with the critters. Of course, I might get a little bored out in the country, so I could go up in my hot air balloon and study quietly for my Ph.D. in archaelogy. I'd land out near the coast, visit the boardwalk and beach bums for awhile, and then we'd all go out to the drag races...the rest I'll play by ear...

the sixth sense Posted: 8/9/2008 1:20:49 PM
Well, Weezygirl, I seem to have the same dream thing going on. I had a dream one night about my Aunt Diane, with whom I wasn't particularly close. I dreamed that I was at (for some unknown reason) a very large house with a widow's walk in an unfamiliar place. I entered the house, and started calling for my Aunt Diane. I entered through a back door which led into a kitchen, with copper pots and wooden cabinets. In the dream, I got no response, so I kept calling and moving further into the house. I went into the living area, which had a massive fireplace with a rifle hung above it, still calling for my aunt. When I received no answer, I moved to the upstairs via a very large two-flight staircase with enormous dark wood newel posts, all the time calling out for my aunt. When I reached the top of the stairs, my aunt's two large Great Danes were there, as if waiting for me, looking at me expectantly and panting. I was beginning to be afraid at this point that something was really wrong with my aunt. (Although we weren't close, I did love her.) I moved to the bedroom on the right, and opened the door to find a bedroom with a four poster bed with a white spread on it, decorated with flowers. Off to the left was the door to a bathroom, which I moved toward. At this point in the dream, I was approaching terror. The bathroom served two bedrooms, sort of like a suite, I don't know what you call that. There were frosted glass shower doors, and I could see the silhouette of a woman behind them, and I knew that the woman behind the glass was my aunt...and that she was dead. That's where the dream ended. I didn't open the shower doors in the dream, and my aunt had never answered me, though I knew it was her behind them. I woke very shaken, and filled with an urgent need to contact my aunt. I called my father, who had her number. I called her the next morning, and to my relief, she answered the phone hale and hearty. I told her of my ridiculous dream, and she was suddenly very quiet. She asked me to describe the house as well as I could remember, so I did. Upon describing it as best I could (dreams are usually kind of hazy, but those things stood out), she told me that she was about to take her vacation in Maine with friends... who owned a large mansion with a widow's walk, copper pots hung in the kitchen, a huge fireplace with a Henry rifle hung above it, a large two tiered staircase to the second floor, and a bathroom on the second floor that joined two bedrooms. She canceled her trip, and I was glad. I didn't make this up, folks. Anyway, I, like the OP, only have any sort of "experience" via dreams. I have your average human's gut instincts and intuition, but nothing superhuman or supernatural. I've never seen ghosts or UFO's (although I sometimes wish I would). I've never had as vivid a dream since, but have had dreams that "told" me that someone was cheating on me and a few other things (which turned out to be the case), but I chalk those up to how our brains can get clues from the world around us, and perhaps just shows us what we've refused to see in the waking world. Regardless, this dream was unlike any of the others, and is the only time I felt that I had entered another realm.

What's your THEME SONG? Posted: 9/2/2007 6:04:28 PM
Well, I'm sure I could find others a little less delusional than this, but this is the one I listen to when I think I'm pretty cool... I move as fast as I can I like to get around I'm crazy like a madman My feet don't touch the ground I move amongst the night life And they just step aside Cause when they see me coming They know I'm running wild Dead or alive there's nothing That bothers me at all I take on all comers They back off or they fall They raise their hands to stop me I laugh and I defy Cause what's the point in living Unless you're living wild No chains can hold me down I always break away I never hear society Tell me what to do or say I taste the life that pleases me And raise a storm for all the world to see I never stumble, never fall Never stop for rest I rebel but I walk tall And I demand respect I move amongst the nightlife And they just step aside Cause when they see me coming They know I'm running wild I'm running wild I'm running wild Get outta my way I'm running wild I'm running wild You better believe it Wild... That new song, "Headstong" by Trapt is pretty good, too. But they ain't no JP.

and slaughter our heart at a debris town, where the sky burns red until dead sundown; Uncertainty stalks the undead streets, restless and willing, counting the beats Walking a wasteland of dead fish and stares, wandering the darkness, wondering who cares. Doubt is our demon, uncertainty its raiment; Love, like lost ships, hears the howling winds' lament...

If you want the key to this true heart lay yours first at the door; but if you won't do your part, then trouble me no more. From whispers and laughter, sunshine and rain to shouting and screams, darkness and pain. If you want the map that will lead you here, look inside yourself and find your way clear from untruth and cunning, and the running away, to joy and honesty, to find a new day.

Soon to be lost in the undefined shore the salt of your sweat is passed once more to a cycle neverending as the stars up above, as the human condition, as the genesis of love. These bodies we're given are made of borrowed time, sticks and stones, assembled sublime. There in the sea, we're both future and past; the things that we love disappear, yet last.

Lordy, I hate chiggers! Did a little research and found that they don't really get under your skin at all, the itching is just a reaction of the fluid that they inject (which actually liquefies your skin, and they slurp it up!) Actually, they're kind of fascinating...anyway, apparently they hate sulfur of any kind, so if you get some sublimated sulfur from your local nursery, that'll keep'em away. Some grocery stores even sell sulfur soap (which, believe it or not, smells really good!) and I use that when I go out to the ranch. Another funny thing about the damned wee beasties is that they're extremely fast, and they attack in groups...i.e., a person gets attacked and gets multiple "bites", but a person sitting six feet away won't get a single bite. Well, I won't go on and on, just check out this link, its very informative! http://mdc.mo.gov/nathis/arthopo/chiggers/

How much will drive HIM/HER away??? Posted: 7/25/2007 5:13:16 PM
Hmmm, I'll have to stick with use your mind. Instincts, feelings from the heart...if one cannot balance them with rational thought, they lead to heartbreak. "I just felt that I would be able to change him." "I just felt that if they cared for me, they wouldn't hit me." If those people had used their minds and examined that person they were interested in closely, and seen that they were alcoholics, or abusers. they would have realized that no matter what their instincts or feelings told them, patterns of infidelity, abuse or alcoholism are not so easy to change. How many times have we read in the Heartbreak forums and others, "I thought he was the perfect one for me, everything felt great and wonderful...and then I found out he's married!" or "I felt that everything was going great, and then he never called me again." Did trusting their feelings or instincts help them? I don't believe women (or men, for that matter) can tell immediately and instinctively whether a person is a player or not. Some may be obvious, but there are plenty who can deceive and fly under the radar...hence the surprise and hurt when the instinctive, feeling people find that their feelings and instincts weren't even close to the mark. On this, dear Scheherrazade, we will simply have to disagree, but at least we agree that people should be cautious, and also that the fear of loneliness can be a precursor to personally disastrous decisions...fear, being one of the instincts (i.e., fight, flight, food and mating) that can result in fuzzy thought processes.

I'll have to agree, too much "you're buying". (Even though you say it in a humorous way, and try to tone it down with "it was only a suggestion", still leaves a question mark.) Other than that, its dandy, plenty of pics showing your interests, plenty of humor, and very illustrative of your active personality. It should weed out the couch potatoes very nicely!

Well, I'm glad Scheherrazade pointed out that all men aren't pigs, at least. As far as jaded being a term that men use for women who won't put up with their crap, I'm sure that the term jaded has been applied to men, also. As far as women maturing faster than men, well, I've heard that girls mature faster than boys, which I do believe. However, by definition, a "man" is already mature, as is a "woman". This is why they aren't called boys and girls after reaching a certain age. Now, I'm sure that reference was speaking to emotional maturity, and as far as that goes, I can't say that I agree at all. I've known plenty of women, and I'm sure that the ratio of immature men and immature women is about equal. And all this talk about "trust your heart" and "trust your instincts", well, isn't that what got you into the heart wringing situations in the first place? Like Scheherrazade said, just be cautious. Check people out. Google them, meet their friends, meet their family. Our instincts are infinitely fallible, as are our hearts. Use your mind! As to what will drive a person away? Don't trust them, no matter how kind their nature, how giving their heart. Don't trust them, just be suspicious of every moment they aren't trying to win your trust, which you'll most likely never give anyway. Bring all your baggage out, over and over, empty it out and show them why, even though they aren't the person who wrung you out, you will never trust them because since its been done once, its destined to be that way forever. Give up hope. Give up on growing beyond your pain and searching for someone new. Just fall back on those sad little mistaken instincts and your sad little mistaken heart, and enjoy your loveless life, for at least and at last, you'll be safe from pain. Except, of course, the pain of loneliness. Just give up, and you won't have to worry about it anymore.

If your car doesn't have air conditioning, or even if it does, and you're in and out, sweating half the time and cool the other half, here's a good one: I keep a small cooler in my car, with the little refreezable ice thingies (you know what I mean), and I add some ice and water, and keep a couple of hand towels in the car...if you're stuck in traffic, or had to walk across a hot parking lot to get to your car, or whatever, stick that ole' handtowel in the ice water and go to town. I realize this may not work well for women, wearing makeup and all, but it makes my workday bearable! Stay cool!

Getting tested? Posted: 7/3/2007 6:45:21 PM
I'd rather wait and both get tested. Sort of like a cooling down period before you buy a gun, y'know? Condoms are a total pain in the ass. And I and a lady that I know have said no when the moment was "right", we both got tested, and when the results came back negative, we had a simply wonderful time! And I agree with the post above, if they refused to get tested, forget it. Its not only a kind and loving thing to do, as mentioned above, but a very sane thing to do, whether you use condoms or not.

The Corner Kiss WTF is that? Posted: 4/28/2007 12:38:22 PM
I figger its because he's attracted to you, and a bit uncertain. like most folks said. But I don't think I'd ask him, "WTF?" Even if you're not "forward", if there's a spark and you wanna build a fire, you have to be direct with some of us fellas. (Also as said above.) But I think an approach that might be more comfortable is simply to send him an e-mail, talk about the usual things you usually talk about, and in closing, tell him, "and by the way, next time? If you want to kiss me, just kiss me, okay?" If you ask him the other way, he may get defensive or flustered. Just a thought.

All I know is that if I asked a woman how much she weighs or how old she was, my grandmother would rise from the dead and bop me on the head with a shoe. Its probably old fashioned, but I would have to say that a polite person wouldn't ask those questions, face to face or on the web. Our ages are already displayed on this site anyway, and it has a general body description, so asking you seems to be kind of pointless. But I have to agree with the last line of TheWorldismyPlayground's post. Either the chemistry is there right away, or its not.

dating single parents Posted: 4/13/2007 6:47:09 PM
I should say first that my first and only marriage was to a wonderful woman with a wonderful 3 year old daughter. I was scared to death back then of kids, but after raising her for 10 years, found out they aren't so bad after all. I can think of quite a few reasons. 1) Say you date for quite a while, and the fella truly grows to love your children. Then the two of you have a falling out, and you take the kids and go. All the time and love that the man has invested in that child is all for naught. 2) If the kids are teens, a lot of men don't want to put up with the bullshit that one typically gets from teens. I'm not saying all teens are spoiled know-it-alls...but I know a lot of folks with kids like that. 3) In today's world, dating a woman with kids is fraught with peril. A man has to overcome the suspicion (in many cases, rightfully so) that he's some sort of child molester, just dating the mom to get to the kids. I say rightfully so because there are freaks out there. But who wants to go through the suspicion? Its so much easier to date a woman who's unemcumbered, avoiding all that suspicion altogether. 4) Discipline can be a big problem I've dated a couple of women who let their children run right over them, from 4 years old to 19 years old, I've seen both. And I can't stand for it. I come from the "spare the rod, spoil the child" school. If a kid is starting fires around the house, I say he (or she) gets swats. The mother says they don't. Guess who wins? 5) The financial burden. Now, many moms say I don't want you to be a father to my child, he's already got one. But then you go to the zoo, and you pay the admission. Then the kid needs braces, and money's tight for single mom, so you help out. Then you move in, and find that you're paying for the kid's new Ipod and trendy sneakers. Then you're paying for their college tuition...many men don't mind this at all, but would probably prefer to be sending their own flesh and blood through school. 6) And last, but most certainly not least, we don't want to deal with the freaked out father of the kids. He automatically hates us because his ex is attracted to us. He hates us because we have access to his children even moreso than he does. The kids sometimes hate us because we're not their real fathers. (I have found that generally speaking, the ex is certified nutso retired Special Forces, just looking for a target...) I hope this sheds a little light, and before anyone beats up on me, allow me to say that I'm still willing to date a woman with children from a previous marriage. Its a case by case basis for me. However, for some men, its an absolute rule. I still get to talk to my ex-step-daughter to this day (when she calls), and I still love her dearly. But just as a prospective suitor gets extra scrutiny from a woman, she should expect scrutiny from the suitor. Thass'all.

end of f... bud situation -any hope? Posted: 3/3/2007 4:37:47 PM
Well, "men being men" and all, here's how I see it...ya'll had a great time together, and then you cut it off. He concurred, saying he couldn't give you what you want. Now that he can't have you "casually", he's writing you text messages saying, "Really? You were serious?". It may well be that he realizes he lost a good fbuddy, but a good thing? You can only find out by saying, "sure, we can do it if we're committed", and seeing how he reacts. If he still won't give some committment, you have your answer. Might as well quit beating around the bush...ahem.

How do you flirt in traffic? Posted: 3/3/2007 4:16:32 PM
I'm a courier in Houston, and I have one of those flashcard thingies, has sayings like, "hang up and drive", "your turn signal is on", "you're getting a flat", etc. One of them says, "you're cute", but I don't really use it because not many women in Houston (yep, ccexpress, they're packing...) are going to pull over to flirt, much less exchange numbers or anything. Not to mention the fact that they're in their car for a reason, like getting back to work late from lunch, picking up the kids from daycare, etc., etc. I have used it once or twice, and got a smile and a wave, though. I figure its a nice ego boost for them, and if I get a smile or a wink back, well, everyone wins, don't they? (This message posted by Wolf Who Thinks He's Big Tongue Bear) oh, yeah, and if a chick starts working a lollipop in the car next to me...well, it could be love...if she licks the window? It IS love...

Best place a woman has taken you? Posted: 3/2/2007 6:21:38 PM
Yup, gun ranges are fun, even if the lady outshoots ya! (In my limited experience, women are better shots. More patient. Thank goodness I can run so fast.) I think the minigolf idea is great, made me want to go. Rent a cabin at the state park, spend the day hiking and swimming (when it gets warm enough, anyway.) Camping when its cold is pretty fun, though. You might have to zip your bags together to stay warm.

Pampering yourself Posted: 2/24/2007 7:02:56 PM
Good thread, Whysper. But you know, for us guys, "pampering" just isn't a word unless applied to women (or babies). ((ahem)) Anyway, I treat myself to two pounds of bacon, guacamole, smoked gouda cheese and habanero sauce while I watch Survivor, drink beer, smoke, and jam during the commercials. Then I watch a cool movie like "Flyboys", (rent it), drink more beer, smoke more, pass out in time to feel decent for Friday. You don't even want to know what I do on Fridays and Saturdays! p.s., whoever whapped you will be surprised when an entire pof mob shows up for some payback. (Oh, and I forgot...the ultimate "pampering" would be someone to scratch my head right before I go to sleep. That feels good.)

Romo over Bledsoe....Good or Bad Decision? Posted: 12/26/2006 6:57:45 PM
Philly fans suck...they have no class. Applauding when a player is injured. I remember that, and I love to watch them lose. (Not because of the players, but because of the fans.) JMO

I would have bought the book, but it was labeled "subversive" by the powers that be, and they scan at Barnes and Noble...viva la revolucion, sister, write on!
