GPLWT Grand pianos lilt weighty tones... Great packages leave women talking... Generous partners like wonderful times... Girls play - little women tease... Guys provide lucious, warm, tongues... Glamorous people love white towels. Gorgeous plants - lovely! Weeds - terrible. MIPBM

I laugh everytime I red that, Wheetsin! LOL I agree with all the sentiments expressed here, which is actually nice for a change, as it seems I am ever disagreeable lately... lol

LOL - Carlene, my point exactly... I hadn't flown in a while last year, and totally spaced on some of the new security measures. I had one piece of luggage, and was carrying it on. I had a small nail care set in my bag, which they pulled out after the xray machine. The nail clippers got to stay, but the little nail scissors weren't allowed. OOOOOH!!! I was so mad! Frankly, anyone who could be intimidated by a pair of nail scissors deserves to be frightened. Anyway, on the way back home I carried on board an empty wine-type bottle. NOT A PEEP. Now, really - if you were given a choice of weapons, would you choose a little nail scissors, or a big heavy wine bottle that not only could be used to hit someone over the head with, but could be broken and used as a much longer, much sharper, much more damaging knife??? These are the kind of discrepancies that drive me crazy...

BUFF - otherwise there is no sleeping! Love or comfort?

It's great to see that for once, everyone agrees... LOL

Ingrown toenail. Love or comfort?

Curly. Freedom or Safety?

I loved this game, and was sorry to see it trail off. Resurrected!! DYMMM Does your mother mind madness? GPLWT

Amen, brother. As I've heard said, "ALL POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY." The US today is a shining example of how this becomes true. Don't question authority (or you're unAmerican), don't criticize the government (or you don't support our troops), if you're not with us you're against us, privacy invasions, efforts to remove the checks and balances of our government (fillibusters are a GOOD thing), acting without the blessings of the U.N... Even the changing of the constitution has been seriously debated. I am constantly amazed by how many people do not see anything wrong with this picture. And everytime I get on my soapbox about how stupid current airline security process is, people look at me like I've lost my mind. I don't feel safer now that liquids and gels are not allowed on airlines. Do people REALLY think that a terrorist would be so easily foibled??? If I really needed some gel or liquid to do my dirty deed I can think of lots of easy ways to get that stuff on the plane. Heck, I don't need to get it on the plane, I'll just wait until they serve it to me or get it from the airplane's bathroom sink. And if it needed to be a "special" liquid I can seal that up in a baggie and slip it in my bra, or sock, or mouth, or even just my pocket. If I, as an unmotivated person, can just casually think of so many ways around the system... And if someone thinks that ALL the airline workers are above a hefty bribe to over look a few things (when our wealthiest and supposedly most "trustworthy" politicians are not), then they are really in denial. We need to take reasonable steps for safety - I'm not saying we don't. But there comes a point where we have lost more than we have gained. And safety can NEVER be guaranteed.

I don't remember if it was called a master cleanse or not, I'm sorry to say. My juicing book has been long buried under who knows how many other books on the topic of weightloss, increasing your memory, visualizing your future, tapping into your psychic abilities, etc., etc.... lol I haven't juice fasted in a while now, but have toyed with the idea of juicing one day a week. I toy with lots of ideas. Implementation, however, is something I SUCK at... lol

Heartbreaking... Patty, my heart goes out to you. I couldn't imagine a love greater than the love Ryan had for you. Ryan was a man who touched lives, and the beauty of his thoughts, writing, and very soul are rarely found on this earth. I count myself blessed to have had my life touched by such a wonderful person. Ryan, you are much loved and will be sorely missed by all who knew you.

Okay, this is easier to understand if you think of the air as something thick with mass, like Jello. If a fly is suspended in jello (which fills the elevator) it will move up and down with the elevator without changing position, because it is too light to move through the jello on its own. Suspend something heavier in the jello, like a marble, and if there is enough speed in the elevator going down, and enough of a sudden stop, the marble will move through the jello and end up on the bottom at that sudden stop. So to a fly, air is more like the consistency of jello than it is to us. Just like we would be hard put to make our way through thick mucky mud, but to an elephant it's nothing. And glass is a liquid... Seriously...

A fly doesn't hit the back of the windshield because it does not have enough mass to carry momentum through the surrounding air, which is traveling at the same speed as the car - so it quickly adjusts to the speed of the air around it. Just like if a feather blew in the window it would not fly all the way back to the back window. Plus the fly can adjust its own speed in addition to having the advantage of small mass. Similar to how far can you throw a light object vs a heavy object?? Momentum can be thought of as mass times velocity. People being heavy will have lots of momentum whilst the fly and the air will have little. The fly or an air particle will therefore have insufficient momentum to force themselves through the surrounding air particles. A person having lots of momentum would easily punch through the surrounding air and carry on to the back window and SPLAT!

Total commoner here - it would never occur to me to take off my shoes before entering someone's house unless they asked me to - in 45 years, I think I have been to MAYBE one or two homes where they didn't wear shoes indoors. I thought it was a very strange novelty - never asked why, just did it. But I thought it was weird. I run around the house barefoot most of the time, but it's a comfort thing, not a cleanliness thing. Sad to say, the bottom of my shoes are probably cleaner than my floors... lol As far as preserving carpet, I've been told to NEVER walk around barefoot on carpet if you want to preserve it, because the oils from your skin gets onto the carpet fibers and then attracts and holds dirt. So, if you really really want to protect your carpet, I guess the best thing would be to have outdoor shoes and indoor shoes.

My favorite response I've ever heard to the mooing, and hope I remember this the next time it happens to me: "Excuse me - did you just moo like a cow?" "Yep." "I thought so. You don't look like you have the balls to be a bull." lol

Holy Crap! Sue, you're wearing LEOPARD print! Does it get any better than that??? lol And you're looking great - what I can see of you, anyway... hehe xxoo

I would definitely wait at least two weeks before singing. Those deep breaths will push down, and I at least could really feel it. I think I set myself back a week by starting to sing too soon... (paid choir position)
