Obama's stimulus package decision
Exactly. That's why substantial campaign reform will never happen. Why? The appointments are political rewards for support. Every president does that. Or were you surprised that the majority of them owed taxes? Because I believe that's business as usual in Washington. RE: Afghanistan...you shouldn't be distressed. You should be reassured that he's not totally sticking his head in the sand. Granted, I don't agree with many of Obama's policies, but I think a presence in Afghanistan was inevitable, regardless of who got elected. Of course I was. But....he was your president too, ya know. Well, I haven't seen very many bipartisan actions yet, BJean. In fact as of right now, I can't really think of a single one. Of course, I don't mean that as a negative reflection of Obama as such....it's just something that every president does. Who was the last TRULY bipartisan president that you can think of? I can't name one in my lifetime. It will never happen. Because the two parties make the rules. They're not going to share their piece of the pie with independants. This is where we fundamentally disagree. I am pround right here and now of what my country stands for. I don't think America is about penalizing hard work and financial success, but that's indirectly what Obama is doing. "Fairer to the majority of Americans" is vague and subjective. To me, it means the government getting the hell out of the individual's way. Better schools and medical care? Great...but again, I think the government is only gonna muck all that up.

Is OctoMom Crazy???
Why, yes, she's crazy.....CRAZY SEXY!

Octuplets and SIX other children??!!!
I think he was just underscoring how intense and difficult is is to care for multiples, since he had the experience of trips (which is less than half of what Octomom will have to care for). Heehee...."Octolips"......those big ol' rubbery lips are gross.

Anybody else getting a "BBW singles" margin advert on their screens or is it just me? That made me LOL.

I'd do it just for the laughs. Heck, I'd go the scale wearing just a sock, a la the chili peppers. Picture brown ripple dad wearing only just a sock. Now put my face there. It's me, America!! I will! Mac- the big city sophisticate, together with Plain- the rual redneck. Can this unlikely pair conquer the world? Or will their diametrically held political views tear the team apart? Tune in and see..... Glouc, I'll be your partner!! If we're picked we can rip on the other contestants and ridicule Bob for being so damn weepy!!

I suggest adding in "naughty schoolgirl". That particular one has earned me many promotions. You mean "Hooters" doesn't supply them gratis? *zing*

Wow....I really must commend you and your co-workers for making people feel comfortable at work. Clearly this lady feels comfortable at work.

Octuplets and SIX other children??!!!
Just as a trivial tidbit.....On Redeye last week, Dr. Drew Pinski (sp?) was one of the guests (He's the guy that does "Celebrity Rehab" and "Sober House" on VH1). He said that he and his wife did IVF and got triplets. He went on to say that the docs strongly recommended that he and wife only attempt to deliver 2 of the embryos because of the necessary parenting demands. Dr. Drew and wife ended up having all 3......but he said it was almost impossible to do with 2 full time adults in the house. He said (in all seriousness) that if the state allows all 14 kids to live in the house with only octomom, then he predicted it would result in the death of a child. That really struck me, because it's such a strongly worded statement.

Yeah, but they were female gerbils and poodles. I'm not a sicko! :confused:

Did you have to do any rescue breathing? As weird / sick as it sounds, I used to love working codes. I loved intubating people. *heavy sigh* those were the days....

Why do women have anal sex?
I just meant that I live in a community of less than 200 people in rual Texas. I'm not being snarky at all (I know it could come off that way in print), but what training did you get? Psyche / Socio / Biology courses? I'm just curious.....Waaaaaay back in the day I took a "Human Sexuality" course in college. It was pretty interesting (it focused more on the physiological responses and mechanisms of the body). Me too! lol Ebony, I get the alternating dom / sub thing. I'm probably waaaaay out of line for asking, but when you're the dom, does your husband enjoy being "penetrated"??

maybe with all that free training, room and board, I could get down to like 3% body fat. I think I'd be poised to be America's darling. BTW, I'll probably get lambasted for this, but I saw a commercial for one of the chain gyms (Ballys? 24 hour Fitness?) that shows Allie jogging. I think she looks kinda gross. Fire away.

Octuplets and SIX other children??!!!
That's a really good point. I wonder how many embryos he would personally consider "too many" to be implanted? You can bet that planned parenthood and the ACLU will probably fight this tooth and nail.

To be fair, there are probably lots of people with every WLS group that don't follow instructions. I read posts on here almost daily where the poster is lamenting that the band "doesn't stop me from eating" or "I can still eat just as much as I ever could". I wish I had known tryouts were in Dallas....I might have tried out.

I do that stuff all the time. Except instead of gifts, I leave laundry to be done. I think my wife really appreciates it. Keeps the romance alive.

I'm not sure I believe that Fatboy Slim has a substance problem.....Next thing, they'll be telling us Amy Winehouse has a substance problem. Quit using "colon blow" and go to something more gentle, like "Mellow rainbow"....Then you can look like the guy in the pic that FF posted. Be careful and read over the contract before you sign....you could get roped into doing nude shots. Happened to me once on the international male model circuit. Hey!! I keep telling everybody that nothing is more hetero than two oily dudes stripped to the waist wrestling around in pudding. Actually, there may be something more hetero, according to our resident sexpert. You'll have to check in the powder room (the thread rhymes with "banal"). It doesn't get more hetero than that!!

Why do women have anal sex?
"tossing a salad" refers to analingus....stimulating the anus and the area around it with your mouth. Bet you're glad you asked, right? LOL

Well give 'em their damn pudding!! Hmmmmm, protein hot chocolate?!? I'm intrigued....tell me more... Are you trying to get to "female bodybuilder buff"? I am.

Wow....He is responsible for a lot of kids. There hasn't been a dude responsible for this many babies since I was voted "best-looking in snug trousers" back in high school!

Why do women have anal sex?
cattoy, I'm sorry, but this sounds extremely gay. Maybe I'm not as "cosmopolitan" as you, or maybe I'm closed-minded, but....."he can't stop thinking about being bent over and taken"?!? That's not something a hetero dude has fantasies of. IMO. I think a poll in the men's room would bear this opinion out, lol.
