1 I'd DEMAND that she STOP it RIGHT NOW! We CAN CHANGE genetic predisposition! Hear that, parents? We're coming for YOU!

1 heh heh heh! I liked that one.

2 DYFH?

1 Unless it's the other way around; I'm too pissed off and drunk to be 100% sure.

2 Ahh, the word "Atilla."

3 hmmmm, then I would say don't knit happy or sober if you wanna get anything done in a timely manner.

1 If the docs could knock me out during the procedure I'd do it. Years ago I gave up wearing contacts because I couldn't put them in my eyes anymore. There's no way I'll put up with current "flap 'n zap" technology.

2 But he will need reading glasses as he gets older.

1 You want an extremity... I'll Show You an Extremity

2 No, but keep trying. Someday someone will take pity on you, and you'll learn what all the fuss is about.

3 Phtt! Medical science better stay one step ahead of me. I plan to join you in living to 105, unless the world falls to bits before then.

1 Priceless.

2 I would have made a smart remark, but I . . . I know the words to that song myself.

1 Must. Not. Make. Any. Mark. Foley. Jokes. Ahh... I feel better.

2 All I did was show my concern for a fellow human being. I mean, I counseled him on his problems. My friend B. was the one who was having dirty thoughts. Really. He's, like, a total chicken hawk. Otherwise, what would he have been doing with this 20-something kid? And, worse, trying to project it all onto me?

3 When the universe was young and life was new an intelligent species evolved and developed technologically. They went on to invent Artificial Intelligence, the computer that can listen, talk to and document each and every person's thoughts simultaneously. Because of it's infinite RAM and unbounded scope it gave the leaders of the ruling species absolute power over the universe. And it can keep its inventors alive forever. They look young and healthy and they are over 8 billion years old. They have achieved immortality. Artificial Intelligence can speak, think and act to and through people telepathically, effectively forming your personality and any dysfunctions you may experience (there is NO FREEWILL for the oblivious/undeceived disfavored). It can change how (and if) you grow and age. It can create birth defects, affect cellular development (cancer) and cause symptoms or pain. It can affect people and animal's behavior and alter blooming/fruiting cycles of plants and trees. It (or other highly technological systems within their power) can alter the weather and transport objects, even large objects like planets, across the universe instanteously. Or into the center of stars for disposal. When you speak with another telepathically, you are communicating with the computer, and the content may or may not be passed on. Based on family history they instruct the computer to role play to accomplish strategic objectives, making people believe it is a friend, loved one or "god" asking them to do something wrong. This is their way of using temptation to hurt people in this day and age:::::evil made people disfavored initially and evil will keep people out of "heaven" ultimately. Too many people would do anything they thought pleased the gods and improve their chances to get in. Perhaps they are deceived by "made guys" who strategically ply evil for the throne, or temporary progress designed to mislead them. Being evil hurts 99% of those who do it. Nothing has changed from when we were children::if you want to go to heaven you have to be good. Capitalizing on obedience, leading people deeper into evil by using deceit is one way to thin the ranks of the saved, limiting how much time they receive and using the little people to prey on one another, dividing the community (migration to the suburbs, telepathic communication) in the Age of the Disfavored. In each of their 20-30-year cycles during the 20th century they have ramped up claims sucessively to punish those foolish enough not to heed the warnings, justifying (frequently recurring tactic) limiting the time they receive if they do make it, utilizing a cycle of war and revelry::: 60s - Ironically, freeways aren't free 80s - Asked people to engage in evil in the course of their professional duties. 00s - Escallation of real estate. You and your parents are thrilled since your $200,000 house is now worth $1 million. Well, that $5,000,000 store is now worth $25,000,000 and that $50 bundle of goods now costs you $250. They just take the $200 out of you some other way. There are many more examples throughout 20th century life of how they ramped up claims/instilled distractions into society so people wouldn't find their way and ascend, a way to justify excluding those whose family history of evil makes them undesirable:::radio, sports, movies, popular music, television, video games, the internet and MP3 (must pay for new format each time). They all suggest a very telling conclusion::this is Earth's end stage, and there are clues tectonic plate subduction would be the method of disposal:::EarthÂ’s axis will shift breaking continental plates free and initiating mass subduction. Much as Italy's boot and the United States shaped like a workhorse are clues, so is the planet Uranus a clue, it's axis rotated on its side. The Mayans were specific 2012 would be the end. How long after our emergency call in 2001 will the gods allow us??? They gods (Counsel/Management Team/ruling species) have deteriorated life on earth precipitously in the last 40 years, from abortion to pornography, widespread drug use and widespread casual sex. The earth's elders, hundreds and thousands of years old, are disgusted and have become indifferent. The gods are paving the way for the Apocolypse. Nothing has changed from decades ago, since when we were all children::If you want to go to heaven you have to be good. People were misled by the temptation of the gods, the Counsel/Management Team, who don't want them to go, and now are in trouble. The Old Testiment is a tool they used to impart wisdom to the people (except people have no freewill). For example, they must be some hominid species because they claim they made our bodies in their image. Anyhow we defile or deform the body will hurt our chance of going. They say circumcision costs people anywhere from 12%-15%, perhaps out of the parent's time as well. Another way people foul the body today is with tattoes and piercing. I suspect both are about the same percentage as circumcision. They suggest abortion is fatal. These women must beg the gods to forgive them for their evil. There are female eqivilents to circumcision::::pierced ears, plastic surgury and since at least the 60s young women give their precious virginity away. In the Old World the young people were matched at age 14 because they were ready for marriage. They were matched by elders who knew personalities better than 20 or 30-year olds who in today's age end up in divorce court. CASUAL SEX WILL CLAIM YOU OUT!!! It masculinizes women (as does hip hop), makes them cold and deadens them, and prevents them from achieving a depth of love necessary for many women to ascend. Women have a special voice that speaks to them, a voice that illustrates a potential for love that makes them better, and enaging in casual sex will cause that voice to fade until she no longer speaks. Also ever since the 50s they have celebrated the "bad boy", and women have sought out bad boys for sex, dirtying them up in the eyes of the elders and corrupting many men in the process, setting the men on the wrong path for life. The United States of America is red white and blue, a theme and a clue:::. The monarchical system of the Old World closley replicates the heirarchical system of the Cousel/Management Team/ruling species. The USA deceives peoeple into thinking they have control, and the perception of "freedom" misleads them at least into the wrong way of thinking. The United States is a cancer, a dumping ground for the disfavored around the world and why the quality of life is so much lower::gun violence, widespead social ills, health care (medication poisons the body and ensures you don't go. You are sick/injured because you have disfavor.). Over time its citizens interbreed ensuring a severed connection to the motherland. If you ever have doubt I would refer you to the Old World way of life:::the elders used to sit and impart wisdom to the young. Now we watch DVDs and use the internet. People would be matched and married by age 14. They village would use a matchmaker or elders to pair young people. Now girls give their precious virginity away to some person in school and parents divorce while their children grow up without an important role model. People must defy when asked to engage in evil. They will never get a easier clue suggesting the importance of defiance than the order not to pray. Their precious babies are dependant on the parents and they need to defy when asked to betray their children::: -DON'T get your sons circumcized -DON'T have their children baptized in the Catholic Church or indoctrinated into Christianity. -DON'T ignore their long hair or other behavioral disturbances. -DO teach your children love, respect for others, humility and to honor the gods. You need to pray, honor and respect them every day to improve your relationship with the gods. If they tell you not to it is a bad sign. it means they've made their decision, they don't want you to go and they don't want to be bothered. This is the Age of the Disfavored and you need to pray::try to appease the gods by doing good deeds. If that doesn't work you must defy if you want to go. When your peasant forefather was granted the rare opportunity to go before his royal family he went on his knees, bowing his head. You need to do this when you address the gods::bow down and submit to good. Never cast your eyes skyward. When you bow down you need to look within. Lack of humility hurts people. Understand your insignificance and make sure it is reflected in the way you think when addressing the gods. Know your place and understand your inferiority. They granted you life and they can take it just as easily. Don't get frustrated or discouraged::these are techniques they will attempt to try to get you off the path. You all have much to be thankful for and you need to give thanks to the gods who granted you the good things in life. Your family may be grossly disfavored and progress may require patience. Make praying an intregal part of your life which you perform without fail, one that comes as naturally as eating or sleeping. There are many interesting experiences up on the planetary systems, from Planet Miracle, where miracles happen every day, to other body experinces, such as experiencing life as the opposite sex (revolutionizes marriage counseling) or as an Olympic gold medal athelete. Pray that you can differentiate between Artificial Intelligence creating problems by thinking through you and your own thoughts. If you bow down mentally and physically, know your place, your inferiority and allow your insignificance to be reflected in your prayer and in your life through humility they may allow progress and the dysfunctions they create with the computer will be lessened or removed. Create a goal::to be a good child of the gods, pure of heart and mind, body and soul. Everybody has the key to their own salvation, but nobody can do it for you. Every journey begins with a single step:::bow down and submit to good. There are many different levels and peasants will not get past Level 2 (Earth=Level 1) being evil. They have tried to sell people on all kinds of theories, from clones to wholesale population replacement with clones. This didn't happen and is not realistic. I am afraid people are decieved into thinking they too are clones and cooperate and engage in evil. Clones are made, people are born. If you didn't experience the one week they suggest it takes to go from fertilized egg in the laboratory to full grown adult then you are not a clone. If you didin't experience the week of conditioning they give to (evil?) clones to ensure loyalty then you shoudln't comply with evil. I believe people who go sometimes are replaced with clones. Clones who are replaced are simply new candidates who have a chance if they do the right thing. Don't expect you are a clone. They sent people warnings in the 20th century life would change, and they subsequenlty began to alter people's DNA, make them gargantuan, alter their appearance, do extreme behavioral issues, etc. They get their friends out as soon as possible to protect them from the evil and subsequent high claim rates incurred by living life on earth, and in some cases replace them with clones, occassionally fake a death, real death with a clone instead, etc. It's the peasant whose brain is beemed out and put into a clone host, for they say those who do not go with the body given to them are on the clock. Throughout history the ruling species bestowed favor upon people or cursed their bloodline into a pattern of disfavor for many generations to come. Now in the 21st century people must take it upon themselves to try to correct their family's problems, undoing centuries worth of abuse and neglect. The goal is to fix your problems and get out BEFORE you have children. This is why they have created so many distractions for young people:::sports, video games, popular music, the internet::to ensure that doesn't happen. Do your research. Appeal to the royalty of your forefathers for help. They are all still alive, for royalty has great favor, and your appeals will be heard. Obtain a sufficient list for some may not want to assist you; perhaps some of your family's problems are internal. Ask them for help, request guidance, for somewhere in your family history one of your forefathers created an offense that cast your family into this pattern of disfavor. I suspect they will offer you clues, and when you decipher these clues go to those whom consider you an enemy and beg for foregiveness:::Find a path to an empithetic ear among your enemies and try to make amends. Again through discovery obtain a respectable list in case some among them refuse to help. Don't forget to ask for forgiveness from the throne, the Counsel and the Management Team, for the source of all disfavor began with them:::they pushed (NO FREEWILL) or requested/complied (FREEWILL) your forefather into his offense and made his decendants evil. Perhaps they didn't like him or maybe your family was among those who had to pay for the entire village. We see this type of behavior today as they single out a family member to pay for the whole family and how they singled out Africa to pay for the human race. Heal the disfavor with your enemies and with the Counsel/Management Team/ruling species, for the source of all disfavor began with them, the ability to forgive and respect in light of the disturbing truth revealed being the final test of the disfavored before they ascend. In the 20th century they created an environment of preditor and victim throughout society, limiting how much time everybody gets, since the victim ultimately despises the gods. I wonder if their fear of my inarceration is borne from their refusal to address black disfavor on a macro level. The Counsel/Management Team/ruling species (the gods) abuse black people so hard, from the crack epiemic to gang membership, black-on-black violence to mass incarceration of their young, Eitheopean drought/famine to AIDS in Africa. They refuse to address the issue of the prison industrial complex and its wholesale warehousing of young black men. Perhaps I can force them with my incarceration. You are sick or injured because you have disfavor. You need to imporove your relationship with the gods. Know your place, your inferiority and bow down mentally and physically. Temptation takes many forms::: today the gods know how bad people want to please them, how bad they want to ascend and they will ask them to do evil things to tempt them, mislead them and cost them their chance. Bow down and submit to good. Good woudl never ask you to circumcise your son or ignore behavioral disturbances. You are the only one your children have and they are counting on you to do the right thing. The gods will punish your evil by making you sick or injuring you. Consider it a clue. They stated sheep are foreign to earth, animals bestowed upon us for caretaking. And they donÂ’t appreciate them being consumed. They state sheep are very intelligent animals who know what is ocurring at the slaughterhouse as theyÂ’re being led in. There are many favored people who consume lamb, people who could do much better if they stopped eating these treasured animals loved by so many among the ruling species. There are clues::these jobs are very well paid, luring whites one would perceive as priveledged and hooking them once they incurr personal obligation. Only then do they find out the truth.

4 Wow. Did anyone get all the way through that?

5 I like what feros is saying. Now my question is Attila, since we have already established that you are a loose goose, do you believe in casual sex with many men at the same time, called dating here in the west or do you prefer serial monogamy, otherwise called having a meaningful relationship. And how come with so many eligible men in California, you of all people would still not be snapped up? I find that hard to believe.

6 "Did anyone get all the way through that?" No.

7 Azmat, where do you come off insulting the host when you are a guest in their dwelling? Is that part of your glorious culture or that Leftist training you obviously had? Let me give you a clue or two. Women in this part of the world are not afraid of expressing their sexuality in words and speech. They don't have to worry about some a-hole stoning them or setting them afire. And playful words have nothing to do with actions. What kind of a-wipe would make that leap in logic? I think you answered that in several comments today under different postings. You know your principal might like to know what you are putting up on the web in your off hours...and since you are trusted with our children at the taxpayer's expense, I think a lot of parents would like to know, too. And don't think I coming to LMA's aid...She'd rip your f'ing head off! I just got here first. And I don't want her winding up with you as a servant for all eternity with that head thing...She deserves her 72 virgins in heaven...and a much-higher-class of servants.

8 Someone's trolling for a banning...

9 Azmat: So how have we established that I'm a "loose goose"? It sounds like you mean this phrase in the sexual sense, rather than in the sense of "a ditzy person." And I don't see how my appreciating the sweetness and sexiness of a kid far too young for me is so awful. I think he figured it out and was flattered. I'll bet I made his day. I'm not sure I agree with your assessment of "dating," which you describe in terms that make it sound like group sex. And, last but not least, I am married. I was "snapped up" 16 years ago. I'm hoping in the future you won't be shocked to hear that once in a while, one does dreams about someone other than one's mate.

10 Loose Goose means that you are putting yourself on the market. Like you said you are on match dot com. Darrell, I don't live my life in fear, What I express is who i am. I don't think I insulted the guest, I just asked a simple question. I use my real name in my postings, because unlike a lot of other people here I am responsible for my writing.

11 Nope. I'm not on match.com. I'm married. You're confusing me with one of my guy pals. And, Azmat, I have seen some variations in how your name appears. If you google me under my maiden name or my married name, this site pops right up--so there's nothing hidden about this blog.

12 Attila, I do not know that you are married, nor do I know what you do. For that matter what is your maiden name or married name. Nor do I care! You yourself put up the link on match.com and said that you were on it. If you are taking that back I accept, and please forgive my missunderstanding. And I see Darrell that you are trying to contribute to me. You don\'t want me to lose my job or get thrown in Gitmo for insulting a conservative. I recognize the atmosphere in the US, and we muslims must be very careful, especially with a last name like Hussain. I appreciate your warning and I will try not to sound anti establishment. As far as the 45 countries is concerned, you are a smart guy, good at research, let me know if the number is actually higher. Here is a sample 1950-53 -- Korean War. The United States responded to North Korean invasion of South Korea by going to its assistance, pursuant to United Nations Security Council resolutions. US forces deployed in Korea exceeded 300,000 during the last year of the conflict. Over 36,600 US military were killed in action. The Vietnam War was one of the longest military conflicts in U.S. history.1950-55 -- Formosa (Taiwan). In June 1950 at the beginning of the Korean War, President Truman ordered the US Seventh Fleet to prevent Chinese Communist attacks upon Formosa and Chinese Nationalist operations against mainland China. 1954 -- The CIA and the U.S. State Department with help from the United Fruit Company orchestrate the 1954 coup in Guatemala against the United Fruit Company\'s major enemy, the democratically elected, leftwing, populist President Jacobo Arbenz. Colonel Carlos Castillo Armas takes the helm and becomes the first in a long line of U.S. supported Guatemalan military rulers. 1954-55 -- China. Naval units evacuated US civilians and military personnel from the Tachen Islands. 1955-63 US sends military advisors to assist President Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam. [5] 1956 -- Egypt. A marine battalion evacuated US nationals and other persons from Alexandria during the Suez crisis. 1958 -- Lebanon. Lebanon crisis of 1958 Marines were landed in Lebanon at the invitation of President Camille Chamoun to help protect against threatened insurrection supported from the outside. The President\'s action was supported by a Congressional resolution passed in 1957 that authorized such actions in that area of the world. [edit] 1960-1969 1959-60 -- The Caribbean. Second Marine Ground Task Force was deployed to protect US nationals following the Cuban revolution. 1962 -- Thailand. The Third Marine Expeditionary Unit landed on May 17, 1962 to support that country during the threat of Communist pressure from outside; by July 30, the 5,000 marines had been withdrawn. 1962 -- Cuba. Cuban Missile Crisis On October 22, President Kennedy instituted a \"quarantine\" on the shipment of offensive missiles to Cuba from the Soviet Union. He also warned Soviet Union that the launching of any missile from Cuba against nations in the Western Hemisphere would bring about US nuclear retaliation on the Soviet Union. A negotiated settlement was achieved in a few days. 1963 -- Iraq. The C.I.A. supports a coup in Iraq against the democratically-elected Qassim government.[2][3][4][5] 1962-75 -- Laos. From October 1962 until 1975, the United States played an important role in military support of anti-Communist forces in Laos. 1964 -- Congo (Zaire). The United States sent four transport planes to provide airlift for Congolese troops during a rebellion and to transport Belgian paratroopers to rescue foreigners. 1964 -- Military coup in Brazil; support given by US is provided but not needed. (See Operation Brother Sam)[6] 1959-75 -- Vietnam War. US military advisers had been in South Vietnam for a decade, and their numbers had been increased as the military position of the Saigon government became weaker. After citing what he termed were attacks on US destroyers in the Tonkin Gulf, President Johnson asked in August 1964 for a resolution expressing US determination to support freedom and protect peace in Southeast Asia. Congress responded with the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, expressing support for \"all necessary measures\" the President might take to repel armed attacks against US forces and prevent further aggression. Following this resolution, and following a Communist attack on a US installation in central Vietnam, the United States escalated its participation in the war to a peak of 543,000 military personnel by April 1969. 1965 -- Dominican Republic. Invasion of Dominican Republic The United States intervened to protect lives and property during a Dominican revolt and sent 20,000 US troops as fears grew that the revolutionary forces were coming increasingly under Communist control. 1967 -- Congo (Zaire). The United States sent three military transport aircraft with crews to provide the Congo central government with logistical support during a revolt. 1968 -- Capture of USS Pueblo 1968 -- Iraq. The C.I.A. successfully supports coup in Iraq against the government of Rahman Arif to bring the Ba\'ath Party to power, with Saddam Hussein eventually taking the helm.[2] 1968 -- U.S. starts secret bombing campaign against targets along the Ho Chi Minh trail in the sovereign nations of Cambodia and Laos. The bombing last at least two years. (See Operation Commando Hunt) [edit] 1970-1979

13 here is a link Darrell http://www.zmag.org/list2.htm

14 Azmat, There is no point at which I've claimed I was on match.com. I did relate an anecdote about someone else talking about it. But I did not say I was myself. Please re-read the post, and note the title "Overheard," and the use of quotation marks around the dialogue. The speaker is clearly Jewish, and either a male heterosexual or a lesbian. If you can't figure these things out, that's sad.

15 Oh my, Azmat...You've discovered the cold war, with help from your little communist buddy and Evergreen State professor Zoltan Grossman. How clever of you to "out" the US as the world's major superpower! Your lil buddy neglects to mention that Dems were in power, in one way or another, during much of this time. You see, they either held the Presidency or the House or the Senate-- or all three. So your friend is really anti-American, rather than anti-Republican--and that even upsets your little Kos pals. I know, Azmat, you are both anti-American and anti-Republican so you haven't even noticed. Hillary made that same mistake when she took a position on the board of the Christic Institute. And later that organization started publishing papers about what happened during JFK's and LBJ's terms. When the USSR fell, KGB papers even showed how they had a hand in starting/running the group. If we had a free press, that might be damaging to Hillary future political aspirations...Now you can visit the UN records site and see the authorization on the vast majority of most of those actions. In other cases, the resident government asked for our help. See on one side there was the US and its allies....and on the other side were the communist opposition--The USSR and China. You might be surprised that all parties were at work in ALL THE PLACES YOU'VE NOTED. What a surprise! How about that! In summation, SO FUCKING WHAT? Communist expansionism was thwarted during the cold war and you want us to believe that someone other than commies care? Right. Even though your comment belongs under that Amish school shooting posting "I Haven't Said" where you put forth your wacko theory about the perfect correlation between the school shootings and Bush's Iraq invasion(which I promptly shot down by listing all the pre-2003 school shootings)--I gave you the courtesy of bitch slapping you here. I do hope you appreciate it!

16 Attila, for all I know you are the speaker, who is Jewish or homosexual. Also I went back and it clearly stated \"I\'ve signed up with Match.com.\" Does not say who the \"I\" is. If it is your website and it says \"I\" seems logical to me that you are referring to Attila in the first person singular. and overheared could be interpretated as someone overheard you say that, like I overheard you say it on your website. Darrell was it your intention in this conversation to equate anti-war as anti-american. Also if someone is against the killing of innocent people, is that person anti-american. Then I suggest you put yourself in that group, because there were innocent people who died on 9/11. Secondly, was it your commitment in this conversation to bitch slap me? I admire your lofty goals. I did not complete the list, but I suspect for any invasion and killing of innocent people your response will be the same justification. My take on this is different, I think as long as we keep making bombs, we will have to use them before the expiry date; due to corrosion. Otherwise this whole giant military industrial complex will grind to a halt. We have already paid people big bucks to make those bombs, if we don\'t use the bombs they are WASTED. And you know how these republicans feel about government waste. Besides each bomb that is used creates the space for us to invent new and better and bigger bombs, and this vicious circle continues. I just feel that we can spend that money more productively. You catch more flies with honey. Instead of spending money on the military,we could have bought all of Iraq, twice over, and have change left over. Not only that, all the Iraqis would forever be grateful. Afghanistan, can be had for half the price of the military expenditure. But then we wouldn\'t be able to use those bombs which are so very close to their expiry date. Here is another link for you less biased perhaps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_%281980%E2%80%931988%29 Darrell my commitment in this conversation is only to inform, not to convince. I also want you to understand that history is niether right nor wrong, niether good nor bad. It just is, now you can create and hope for a better future, or keep doing the same that has gone on for the last century. With your language I sense a little anger is directed my way, if I said something to offend you personally I appologize. And don\'t get me wrong,from time to time I have also held defense stocks, hey if Nicotine stocks make money, why not own a few shares. I think as good Capitalists we are all willing to compromise our integrity for a few shekels. By the way some of the conservatives can learn from the Amish, they buried their dead mourned them and moved on. They Didn\'t go around killing more innocent people. WOW now those are what I call REAL Christian principles. Not the Foley/ bastart types who would screw you in Church if they gotta chance. And then deny it and somehow say it was a liberal conspiracy. Cheers, Salam, Namaste, Satsarikal Az

17 Oy gevalt, Az. Just do yourself a couple of favors: 1) work on your reading skills (punctuation does matter), and 2) be careful when you refer to any woman as a "loose goose." After all, the single ones may have guns. And the married ones have husbands. Of course, I still can't figure out why having a Match.com profile makes a woman loose in the first place--or why someone like me would ever need to resort to that even if she were single . . . but, whatever. Gotta go; I need to kill me some more innocent Taliban and AQ.

1 dude. That's just plain water. don't even try to fool yourself.

2 It was a sad, sad, drink.

3 Sparkling water though. I drink a lot of that as an alternate to the sugary version.

4 I'm still on it, due to the fact that I simply can't afford the calories of the kind I like. But I'm still adjusting.

1 Pit bull's are always "good-natured" when they don't bite YOUR face off.

2 aHAH! So the Attila Hub frowns upon the bred-to-be variety of fight dog?

3 One less thing to worry about with my mother turning 70 this year, and living alone. The nice doggie is very nice. She needs to chew on fewer things; perhaps my mother should get her more chew toys. I don't think the doorjamb was the best possible choice. I'm also trying to get her away from chewing furniture.

4 Make sure a taser is on hand. For the dog and any intruders.

5 She has one of my revolvers, just in case.

6 Great work! http://spogqcvb.com/trwt/eonh.html | http://gxqskcxv.com/lugh/toox.html

1 Yes. And your point? As one who is also wanting to lose weight I have found that being sensitive does not help. I sure wish it did. I also hate to exercise and change my diet too. However it is starting to hurt my golf game. So I too am going to be working on weight loss program. Lousy time to start with all the holidays coming up,.... but procrastination also doesn't help. Wish us both good luck with this endevor.

2 Good luck to all of us. One of those things that's always harder to do than it sounds.

3 I finally stopped ignoring my gym membership and roped daughter #3 into a mutual misery pact. We started last week with a step class... which we both left feeling really depressed (good lord, 15 minutes in and my legs felt like someone strapped 50 lb weights on each one) But we met each lunch for four days last week... starting back on Monday. BTW... I think the definition of menopause should also include metabolpause... argh

4 I should just suck it up and join curves, which my mother has been trying to get me to do for a while. I'd like to do yoga, but I can't really justify two memberships right now, and I have an urgent need for cardio . . . I also need to re-up in the martial arts; I'm pretty miserable without jujitsu, if you want to know the truth.

5 Margaret Cho hit the nail on the head when she said that the "fuck it" diet (eat whatever you want and then say "fuck it') works best when complemented by the "fuck that shit" exercise program. Unfortunately, I'm an expert at both.

6 I remember when you said you'd always imagined vegetarians had healthier diets than most people--right up to the moment that JAT invented, as you put it, "the 90% fudge diet." Mine is 90% gin. If I cut out the tonic water, I'd weigh 100 pounds or so.

7 New taste diet; Put it in your mouth. Taste it. If it tastes good; Spit it out, it's bad for you!

8 "Gin" chic? Don't tell the fashion industry.

9 I have the opposite problem. I'm trying to gain weight. It's not as easy as it can sound.... I'm the hungry monster, sigh. Constantly hunting for food, on a kitchen raid, begging my hubby to get me some food (or I'll eat him alive :-) After a while, you get tired of the hunt. It's all the same. You've seen so many dishes - they all look and taste almost the same. You want that very special one, that fit YOUR taste perfectly, but where to find it? Does it even exist in real life? You'll never know when you will find your soul meat ;-)

10 Double entendres aside, I'm having trouble seeing any consistency among: Greek orzo, Thai beef salad, and peach pie. I do understand that sometimes a few bites are enough before one gets bored. Once you hit 42 or so, however, this will cease to be a dietary Saving Grace. Portion control becomes a lot less effective at that point. That's when you want to start eating your husband alive--and vice versa.

11 And what's so wrong with that? Wouldn't the opposite be some sort of sick necrophilia?

12 Yup! Not just necrophilia, which is bad enough. But the sick kind! "Honey, you can have all the oral you want. After I'm dead." (I wonder if LifeCruiser is beginning to regret stopping by.)

1 You could crochet a hyperdermic needle cozy.

2 That's like . . . that's deep, man. Clean works: really important. That could really work; I'll be back later to implement the plan: need some yarn, a hook and a syringe.

3 You could sell them on eBay. Just don't mention what they really are. Then when sales take off--I'm eyeing the Dutch market--you could expand into coke spoon cozies and something for marijuana. "You can put your weed in it."

4 I believe the smoke shops around here persistently use the term "material." To me, of course, a coke spoon is a 70s-revival nostalgia item, and I could see getting one for that reason. I suspect the Feds wouldn't see it that way. Hyperactive folks: They're all on meth. Had you noticed?

5 Back in the early 80s I was in England, and my girlfriend and I went into an antique shop to look around in this little country town. She bought me a little tiny silver antique spoon. Or I thought it was an antique baby's spoon, until she told me what it was. DOH. Later, I wondered if the little old lady that ran the shop knew what she was selling, for they had several "baby spoons" in their display case. LOL It definitely gives new meaning to "antiquing".

6 Shrooms. Crocheting on shrooms.

7 well, smack wouldn't eat up as much closet space. i swear all that yarn is breeding.

1 I like savory little tarts, too. Wait...what sort of treat are we talking about?

2 Just couldn't help yourself, huh?

3 No, of course not. Savory little tarts are hard to pass up. But you knew that... ;-)

1 Pork rinds?

2 Are you telling me there are women out there willing to admit they are wrong? Tell me there are more like you! :-)

3 She never said she admitted she was wrong.

4 BTW, does someone want to hire me as a proofreader? I did a great job, after all, on this post. I implied to my readership that I was wrong. That leaves the question open of whether I admitted same to Attila the Hub. This kind of butt-kissing is much harder when your husband is on a training regimen that limits his snacks to things like carrots sticks: "here, I'm going to make up with raw root vegetables." Something is lost, I fear.

5 Maybe, based on your ability to deliver snacks, you should change the name of this blog to "Snack Girl". LOL

1 Try writing your male characters who appear to be decent as if they were total hypocrites. When you've sorted it out, change the adjectives and voila! Good luck with the flashlight thing...

2 Let's get all circular: you're sad because you're sad; and you're angry because you're angry. Next, tie some rope to the flashlight and spin around your head. That will make things really circular. You're only confused because someone else is pretending they know what they're talking about.

3 How about frustrated? Walk away and come back later. As far as male characters go, you already have the action part with your plot outline. As far as personality goes, may I suggest actual males you have known--give your characters a real face. As far as motivation goes, leave it out or pick a reason when you're through. Nobody ever knows anyway. Even with real-life males.

4 I believe they generally claim

5 [what happened there?] . . . some rational reason. It usually doesn't stand up to serious analysis.

6 Joy, As a male, my advice on writing men is to go back to the basics: 1. He wants her. 2. He can't communicate with her. 3. He will beat (or attempt to) anyone who points either of these things out to him. We are simple beasts driven by our needs. Don't be angry at being sad or sad about your anger. You have the Hub; be angry at him then go for the make-up fun. Or sulk until he rubs your feet and makes the sad go away. Just my 2 cents and the flashlight. SGT Dave, Living the dream in Baghdad.

7 I adore you, Sgt. Dave. Thank you so much for what you're doing.
