Please tell of your positive deeds, accomplishments, and attributes. No lies and no criticism allowed.

I'm hot. :lol:

I am the first to reply on the bragging thread. Thats right. I'm bad. So bad.
Damn it! Someone posted as I was typing. Forget the above. Nothing here to report.

In college one time I took LSD, mushrooms, and ate a bunch of pot cookies, and drank vodka, all at once.
OK, that's a lie.
It was more than once

Hahahaha. :lol:
I'm not quite as hardcore, but a week or so ago I took seven Excedrin, four Advil, two Tylenol, and a Vicodin. For a headache. It didn't work. :shock:
-
I married a hot broad that likes to get a pot hot and knows how to mix a martini.
-
That reminds me. I make really good cookies.
Oh fuck it, I'm a pretty good cook in general. :lol:
-
I'm a brainiac. I can't cook worth a damn though.
Except I make bitchin sub sandwiches, but those only count as "cooking" because I toast them.
-
my thumb is double jointed and I get people to think they broke my finger sometimes. . . they freak out.
I'm an eagle scout. . .whooopdefuckin' do
oddly, I've been called rather quiet, subdued, even shy. . . yet I got 1st place in Extemporaneous Speech competition for Business Professionals of America. Talk about someone who was fuckin' surprised. . .that'd be me.

The sub sandwich thing is awesome though. I've not yet been able to master the sandwich. I still go to delis for mine if I really want a good sandwich. I iz jealous. :D

I win just about everything I try.
I accomplish this by trying very little.

I'm pretty damned good at many different things.
Guns, art, movies, music, writing, debate (IRL), being a husband, and a bunch of other things.
-
I've gotten pretty good at masturbating.
-
I can translate Aramaic into Farsi.
-
I look really young for my age. When I was young I tended to look older - as if I was drinking age before I really was. But now I'm 39 and people can't believe I'm 30.
It probably has a lot to do with how I act. 8)

I taught my dog to catch a frisbee in mid air, AND bring it back. 8)

I can kick epic levels of ass at Trivial Pursuit, I make a damn fine Grand Marnier and chocolate cheesecake, and I'm a goddamned knockout in a corset, fishnets, heels, and a men's shirt.

Pretty sure my boyfriend would *not* like that. Not the taking pictures part, naturally, but the me posting them on the BBS part.

I Can turn the greyest sky blue.
I can make it rain, whenever I want it to.
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand.
I can make a ship sail on dry land
I can fly like a bird in the sky.
I can buy anything that money can buy.
I can turn a river into a raging fire.
I can live forever if I so desired.
I can turn back the hands of time, you better believe I can.
I can make the seasons change, just by waving my hand.
I can change anything from old to new.
The things I want to do the most, I'm unable to do.
cause I. . . . can't get next to you

I was given eighteen rune of powah.
The first charm I know is unknown to rulers
Or any of human kind;
Help it is named,
for help it can give
In hours of sorrow and anguish.
I know a second that the sons of men
Must learn who wish to be leeches.
I know a third: in the thick of battle,
If my need be great enough,
It will blunt the edges of enemy swords,
Their weapons will make no wounds.
I know a fourth:
it will free me quickly
If foes should bind me fast
With strong chains, a chant that makes
Fetters spring from the feet,
Bonds burst from the hands.
I know a fifth: no flying arrow,
Aimed to bring harm to men,
Flies too fast for my fingers to catch it
And hold it in mid-air.
I know a sixth:
It will save me if a man
Cut runes on a sapling' s roots
With intent to harm; it turns the spell;
The hater is harmed, not me.
If I see the hall
Ablaze around my bench mates,
Though hot the flames,
They shall feel nothing,
If I choose to chant the spell. [seventh]
I know an eighth:
That all are glad of,
Most useful to men:
If hate fester in the heart of a warrior,
It will soon calm and cure him.
I know a ninth:
When need I have
To shelter my ship on the flood,
The wind it calms, the waves it smoothes
And puts the sea to sleep
I know a tenth:
If troublesome ghosts
Ride the rafters aloft,
I can work it so they wander astray,
Unable to find their forms,
Unable to find their homes.
I know an eleventh:
When I lead to battle old comrades in-arms,
I have only to chant it behind my shield,
And unwounded they go to war,
Unwounded they come from war,
Unscathed wherever they are
I know a twelfth:
If a tree bear
A man hanged in a halter,
I can carve and stain strong runes
That will cause the corpse to speak,
Reply to whatever I ask.
I know a thirteenth
If I throw a cup of water over a warrior,
He shall not fall in the fiercest battle,
Nor sink beneath the sword,
I know a fourteenth, that few know:
If I tell a troop of warriors
About the high ones, Elves and Gods,
I can name them one by one.
(Few can the nitwit name.)
I know a fifteenth,
That first Thjodrerir
Sang before Delling's doors,
Giving power to Gods, prowess to Elves,
Fore-sight to Hroptatyr Odhinn,
I know a sixteenth:
If I see a girl
With whom it would please me to play,
I can turn her thoughts, can touch the heart
Of any white armed woman.
I know a seventeenth:
If I sing it,
The young girl will be slow to forsake me.
I know an eighteenth that I never tell
To maiden or wife of man,
A secret I hide from all
Except the love who lies in my arms,
Or else my own sister.

Almost exactly this -- I pretend mine is "dislocated", not broken. It panics the fuck out of people. Fun fun fun fun fun fun...

The hooker "uniform" is anything that shows off the body. That doesn't mean that anything that shows off the body is a hooker uniform. Good job insinuating there's something wrong with women wanting to look sexy, though.

I'm pretty good programmer despite what I think from time to time (at least that's what I've been told by veteran programmers).

75% of my ex's want me back for good, all of them want me back for a few hours.

I see nothing wrong with wearing that particular hooker uniform for my boyfriend/husband in our bedroom. :lol:

Neither do I.

Theres nothing wrong with being a hooker. Its the John who is sick.

I can cook a fuckin' mean steak, I can out drink some of the finest old Mexican men with tequila shots, I have been called "the blowjob queen", I can build model cars/trucks faster and better than most, I have a few famous relatives, and I can play the trumpet.
That’s just a few of my many braggable details…:)

Is that the same way you don't care what homosexuals do so long as it doesn't affect you?

Not everyone has the same moral system, or actually, a lack therof in your case, as you do. I dont have to like the same way you do. You cant comprehend how people can be different? Too bad. Leave me alone.

Yes, that's obvious. But it's a valid question-- if you don't care what somebody does so long as it doesn't affect you, does that mean you think it's moral (or at least amoral)? Or does that mean you may think it's immoral but just don't get bothered about it?

Very good question!
I think a lot of things may be distasteful, but there is still good reason to make them legal. I cant force myself to impose upon others my religious views. At the same time, I resent others imposing their religious or secular views onto me. I also see no obligtion on me to force others to change for basically anything.
-
Is there a technically (philosophically) recognized gray area between moral and immoral? Because I personally wouldn't assign a 'moral' tag to lots of things I don't consider immoral, and visa-versa.
A lot of stuff I just consider neutral.
If the quantifier is harm to myself or others, I guess some pretty fucked up shit is moral, and that doesn't taste right. -- even though I don't care what they do.

There are morally neutral things.
Speaking of which, do you think its morally wrong to drink yourself into a stupor? How about eating chili-fries when you're overweight? You can harm yourself quite easily by eting too many chili fries.

You still could. Me in fishnets could be like the 1951 Bowmen Ted Williams card. Extremely rare and worth allot.
That reminds me, I was had over 100 Nolan Ryan rookie cards at one point. Sold them all off along with the rest of my childhood collection over the course of one year. The profits kept me in beer for the entire time, covered my utility bills and a couple months of rent. I amassed this money generator by wading through creeks on golf courses and selling the found golf balls for .25 cents each. I would turn around and buy baseball cards with my earnings. At times there were leeches.

I helped my gf and another friend puke into a sink and a shower last night by holding their hair back, feeding them water and crackers, and cracking jokes.
Does that count as a good deed?

The worst part was not the puking. The worst part was the other chick who decided she needed to use that bathroom and proceeded to shove us out of the way.
And use the toilet.
Right in front of me.
WTF?

Seeing as how my glass of sprite is not sitting so well, I think this is likely what Mr. Joy will be doing this weekend, at some point.
Cooking [an early] dinner for the kids took away thoughts of eating any other than saltines.
And yes, I do think it counts as a good deed.

I think fried chicken is the one fatass food I don't like. I just...really don't. I go to Chili's...and I eat chicken crispers like you wouldn't believe. That is chicken...that is fried. I don't know. I just don't like classic fried chicken very much. :shock:
Good chili cheese fries are hard to find, I tell you. There was a place in the mall that made good ones, but they closed. It made me sad, but they had really good food. It was some family place. My ass thanks me though.

Sam, you are so fucking handsome.. jesus.. I..
...what are you all looking at? Hey, fuck you. He is handsome. I am perfectly secure in my masculinity.
-
I have penis to which there is no equal.
That doesn't really say much. A penis covered entirely in warts and constantly seeping numerous bodily fluids could be said to have no equal if one were inclined to not do much investigating of the matter.

Updating my training log, and am downright bubbly about this:
:D
I have put just over 350 miles on my "new" running shoes.
:D :D
So far this year - 125 miles
That has me on track to log over 750 by the end of the year - and well over 2,000 with cycling miles included.
:D :D :D
I have a race scheduled for each of the next four weekends, with each likely to be more springlike than the last.

You should run down to Sarasota, beat the crap out of Hansen, adjust the pencils in your hair, and run back.
Then fix something remarkable for dinner.

I'm very busy. I won't be home tonight.
Honey, please. I'm sure your run was exhilarating, and that tofu crap smells wonderful. But I gotta go.
I know the plane will wait for me! I OWN IT! GOD!!
-
I don't eat tofu on long run days. And for super long run days, I hit red meat.
Plus, there'd be the whole ass-kicking thing.
You'd be missing something along the lines of Hoisin Lamb, which is amazing.

That being said, today was an easy run, so while it's turkey tacos for the family, it's black bean chili for me.

A plain old recipe thread would be good - there've been tasty dishes mentioned by many people.
Actual recipes. Links to an online recipe you've tried, with maybe a few comments about things you might change, or another dish you'd serve with it. Things like that.

Whatever you do, make sure you put it in the hijack free zone or else you will end up with almost nothing but recipes for shit sandwiches and weiners.

HT, you should officially brag about having stopped me from doing something stupid.
Because I would have put the thread in General, which would've been a bad idea.

I sat down and wrote an article for a web site today in one sitting. Just parked myself in front of the computer and banged it out. Hope they like it.

I sat down and wrote an article for a web site today in one sitting. Just parked myself in front of the computer and banged it out. Hope they like it.
Is there any other way?
Oh hell yes.
Sit down, open up a Word document. Go read some blogs. Get up, make some tea. Sit down again. Check out the FTL forum, make a few posts. Go to the bathroom. Come back, sit down. Decide you need a snack, get up to get a snack. Sit down again. Read some funny updated web sites. Look at blank Word document, write two paragraphs. Read a few more blogs. Repeat.
That's how it usually goes for me. :)
-
Get up, make some tea.
What kind of tea?

Used to be English breakfast or Earl Grey, but I've switched to green tea with lemon because it has no caffeine and doesn't need milk.

A contractor ordered $15,000 worth of aggregate that was the wrong size for what he was trying to use it for. After reading and tweaking our material specifications, I found different use for the rock and saved his ass!

When I write articles for publication I pound them out on a caffeine high, edit sober.
I don't do it unless I'm inspired. For things I am uninspired about, I work same as you do.

Ah green tea is good. The caffeine doesn't bother much since I'm a recovered coffee drinker. Been sticking with Irish Breakfast Tea in the mornings and Peppermint tea at night.
-
Hmm. I like white tea. I absolutely cannot stand green tea at all, ever. Which is funny because I like white tea, red tea, herbal tea, and black tea. Of all different varieties. I know that myself and a few others that post/posted here have found quite a few goodies at http://www.adagio.com :D
-
I have to be very careful about trips to adagio's website. It is a dangerous place for my wallet.
I'm not a big fan of the straight green teas, but have enjoyed some of the blends. Irish Breakfast and Assam Melody/Harmony are my favorites, along with the Oolong Jasmine. (I forget which number of the oolong jasmine, and am too snuggled up in my desk chair to go look.)
I ordered my teapot from there - and have been using it a couple times each day for almost two years now. It's quite sturdy, and has survived kids dropping it on the floor when "helping" in the kitchen.

Well, my inspiration goes up and down. I can write short impassioned articles, but on a longer piece it sometimes becomes a struggle. Such as the 137 page one I just finished. :) It's nice to get back to briefer pieces.

That's not a piece, it's a book.

I don't even own a teapot. A few of their contraptions intrigue me though, that's for sure. I just have the little thing that you microwave the water in and then strain it over the cup after the tea leaves are finished steeping. It works great for little old me, and their white peach tea is to die for.
-
... I just have the little thing that you microwave the water in and then strain it over the cup after the tea leaves are finished steeping...
I have a kettle and teapot. I use the basket which fits in the teapot, or use the paper filters they sell for when I just want a cup.
I don't own a microwave. Not likely to anytime in the near future, either.
I'm rather proud of the no microwave thing, for some odd reason. I'm just not a big kitchen gadget person.

I had a stainless steel electric kettle in Denmark....really miss it. I want another one.

I used to have a Jones for them.
I have pared it down to a large Foreman grill, toaster, blender, and food dehydrator.
Shaw jerky is right up there with Shaw pickles.
Oh, and we got a s'mores cooker for our wedding from someone. It hasn't been opened yet and probably never will now that we have a fireplace.
I've been scoping out the thrift stores for a food processor with all the parts, so I might have one of those, eventually. Almost bought one from a St. Vincent DePaul the other day, but it was thirty bucks.
<<<Cheap.
-
Like Shaw, I used to be a kitchen gadget person. Even when I didn't buy them, I'd lust after them.
For me, it's less about the cheap, and more about the space. I'll pay $$ for a sturdy gadget that saves time and work... that I'll actually use.
Other than the toaster, coffeemaker and grinder, I have:
Hand mixer
Breadmaker (which is only used for mixing and rising - I do the baking in the oven)
Basic food processor - has two blades, and a glass base which can be run through the dishwasher. With both blades in, it does a good job with smoothies, shakes and ice. ($30 at Tuesday Morning)
I have a decent set of knives, and use the pastry knife and mortar/pestle my gran gave me all the time. It's faster to chop most things by hand than to get out the food processor, though I do use it when making a curry paste from scratch, guacamole, or something like that.
We got one of the s'mores cookers for christmas a few years ago - I don't think we ever opened ours, either.
-
I don't have a microwave either and never will but I have a toaster oven, might not be as handy for a family. I rarely cook so much food I need a whole oven. I also have a steamer and a blender. Nothing else with a heating element or motorized.

I am amazed that you can eat without a microwave. I'm young enough that I cannot remember a time without one.

I like my rice maker.

I'm amazed that people can eat the crap that comes out of them. Anything you can make in the microwave tests better with conventional heat, especially bread products like crusts. You think pizza rolls are good in the microwave? They are twice as good with a crispy, flaky shell instead of a tough chewy one. I remember when we got our first microwave, I was about 8.
-
The only thing I use our microwave for is the timer.
Once in a blue moon, if I'm in a hurry, I'll use it to thaw meat.
-
I can juggle 3 items.
-
I also like my deep fryer. It makes me feel southern.
I thought about buying a crock pot the other day.
I make ramen noodles in the microwave.
-
Oops :oops: I have a crockpot. I think my mom gave it to me. Completely forgot about that.
You can guess how often I use it.
-

Oh snap! We have one of those, too.

I don't have that excuse. We use ours once a month or so.

I too have a crock pot. I boil water for Ramen.

I broke my $20 blender this morning with frozen strawberries. I got it three days ago as a replacement for one I broke doing the same thing. It was the same model, cus I used the box from the new one to return the one that broke first.
Now I need to get a good blender.

That's theft dude. If you want to blend frozen strawberries, get a blender that's made to take it.

Whever. The first blender was within the 30 day store return time period, but I didn't have the box or receipt any longer. It was an exchange. And the blender claims it is made for doing that kind of shit.
-
I guess it's OK then but you should have known better, no 20 dollar blender can blend frozen things on a regular basis and be expected to last no matter what the box says. The smoothie crowd knows a lot more about blenders than I do, I only know that cheap blenders don't work for the smoothie crowd and the one's they like to use are > $100, sometimes much >.

I bought a really expensive (for me) pair of speakers once, and returned them when my tuner fuxxored them. This was at Circuit City, many moons ago.
I plugged them in, hit the power and *VRMP*, toast. Took 'em back, guy says whassa matter, I'm like, they sound fucked up. While I'm here, I'm gonna go get a new tuner, too.
I look at it like this: I get screwed on a regular basis in stores. Fuck 'em. I paid for the shit, there was an exchange of cash-money, muthafucka. To me, the thief is someone who takes a product and does not pay.
Heres an example. I just bought a backpack at Wal-Mart, and it seemed like a decent backpack. It was in sporting goods, rather than the fuckin' backpack aisle. I paid like $40 for this fucking thing. And I liked it. It was designed perfectly. Less than a month later, now I have no receipts and tags, the fucking thing is literally falling apart at the seams.
The reason I got screwed on that pack is because I went looking for it, a similar pack in a good store is like, a hundred bucks. Or two hundred. Backpacks are fucking expensive.
They know what the similar product is worth, and it seemed okay at general inspection. But it was garbage.
So as far as I'm concerned, I have a rolling account with WalMart. I won't steal from them, but I will take liberties with my purchase practices, if that makes any sense. I watch the bean-counter, when stuff falls in my favor, not my fault.
Another thing that happened there, I got a device that plays a mp3 over the car radio. $20. Its a piece of shit. But it came with a few other wires and gizmos, which I didn't really want, but I'll stick away in a drawer, because I like wires and gizmos. I'm not gonna return the fucking thing. But they burned me on the junky device, which plays like shit over the radio. I won't return the thing, chalk it up to a loss. Returning it would be a pain in my ass, but they still owe me for that piece of shit, plus aggravation.

It's Wal-Mart. About the only thing I get from there is printer paper and such for work supplies, razor cartridges, and something like crackers. Something that cannot be tainted by Wal-Mart germs. I would never, EVER buy meat or produce from there. And if it came from there I usually don't eat it. ARGH! I HATE WAL-MART.
I did go there the other day to get some supplies for my work. My store and the other store were both out of printer paper, and we thought it best to stock up on paper towels. Since we're on a budget at the hut, I got two packs of copy paper (same fucking bullshit...whatever), some paper towels, and then I picked up some junk little Rubbermaid tupperware-like containers to make it easier to bring my lunch to work. Will they last? No, of course not. But they work. Also, I bought some stupid lotion. I needed something that was truly unscented and just...worked. I think I got some Eucerin stuff or something. Every other fufu bullshit lotion I have from Bath & Body Works or Sephora smells like something.

and shit, sorry Joy...I know I am not old, but for once I actually feel my age and it is kind of weirding me out. 27 is almost 30!!!! I remember when my mom was 30 thinking OMG you’re so old and going to die soon. Not to mention I can be a wee bit dramatic at times :)

One thing Wal-Mart has no lack of; crackers.

My goal was completing in under one hour - and I hit under 58 minutes!
Not only was my unofficial time under an hour (57:13), my official time, which I'll get this evening, should only be about 30 seconds higher. (I like to start at the back of the pack.) Of course, this means I'll have to push myself harder next Saturday to beat this time. Shouldn't be too hard, because next week's race is flat, not rolling hills.
As a side note, I will have to refrain from listening to FTL during races. The occasional outbursts of laughter seem to disturb my neighbors.
Now since I ran to the start of the race from home and back after, I have 9-9.5 miles under my feet already today, and need to start packing in the calories. That postrace latte only gets me so far on the refuel.

I am the parent of a 5 year old that loves reading. This has been a parental goal of mine since before I was a parent. A trip to the library is considered to be a treat that is looked forward to. I often use books and extra story times as a reward. I intend to keep encouraging this as I think this is one of the greatest gifts I can give my child.
It makes me feel like a pretty good dad.

This.
When I walk through the house on a rainy Saturday afternoon and see each of the three kids curled up with a book, I get a strong sense that we're doing a pretty darn good job. And, now that the youngest is well into the "big kid books", the conversations between the kids at the dinner table are often about the exploits of heroes and villains in books, instead of the latest video game cheat or Hannah Montana / Jonas Bros / Other show my kids don't watch.

Cold, rainy 10k this morning - 54:59 - New Personal Record! Bigger thing for me was being in the top third for both my age group and gender.

It is. I'm flyin'. I'm in a truly good mood for the first time in months, like a kid who got a "yes" from asking his crush for a date. Might just be the coffee.
I was sort of adrift. I had a vague direction, and obviously a goal, but I sat down today and made myself a simple set of bi-weekly goals, that are totally within reason. I should be able to reach each one with little or no difficulty.
I can't believe I never mapped it out like that. The hard part is actually gonna be staying UNDER-productive, slow and steady. The only thing that can fuck it up is haste and impulsive decisions.

I got a very glowing yearly review at work yesterday. If not for the economy and the fact the company has cut back expenses 40% (without laying a single person off) I'd be expecting a nice raise. At the very least I cemented my worth to the company and maybe worked my way into getting a private office soon.
I bought a bottle of Hennessy XO Cognac to celebrate.

My company often gives bonuses for that sort of thing, so the salary isn't increased percentage-wise, because the next raise would be on top of this one, and calculated from it.
Sweet dude, either way.

The bonus would be great but knowing how they've cut expenditures in order to avoid layoffs, I'd make due with nothing this year so long as I and others can keep our jobs.

At my company, they dropped 401k matching - which sucks because I was going to start mine. And then they put us on this new commission pilot where we have the ability to make 5% in commissions for a week - which is normal. The max before was 2% a month. Oy vey.

My company also dropped its 401(k) matching last year, though it may start up again sometime this year or next year. However, you should consider starting to save anyway. Whether the company contributes or not, it's still the same chunk out of your paycheck. The only thing matching does is raise the amount that goes into that fund. 401(k) contributions are exempt from taxes so you only actually lose some of that money as far as take-home pay goes. That makes saving in a 401(k) a lot more effective than saving with after-tax dollars.

Good point. I'll have to dig out the book they sent me and everything. I know it would be smart to do it, but the company matching was more incentive.
-
Dropping the matching 401k matching is pretty scummy, especially since thats where most people took the biggest hit.
I would tell 'em I don't want it any more, and pull your funds. Roll it over into a different fund, without being whacked with the taxes. The company gets incentives for people holding their K program. You can probably defer it into a Fidelity that isn't associated with work and keep the payroll deduction rolling tax-free.
In other words, Fuck Them.

We moved into the new house on Saturday, and most of it is unpacked by today, Monday. Each day since has been filled with unpacking. That means that I've been in the process of packing and unpacking since Tuesday of last week. The old house was one story; whereas the new house is two. My whole body hurts, but the end is in sight.

Maybe this is what Rillion meant about being mostly unpacked. The vagabond probably fit nicely into a wardrobe box, and can be stored in the garage, until needed.

We moved into the new house on Saturday, and most of it is unpacked by today, Monday. Each day since has been filled with unpacking. That means that I've been in the process of packing and unpacking since Tuesday of last week. The old house was one story; whereas the new house is two. My whole body hurts, but the end is in sight.
That's exciting. Congrats on the new house and all. Is the vagabond brother still with you guys?
Thanks!
Yes, vagabond brother is still with us, though he's turned out to be slightly less annoying since he's talented at fixing things-- a lighting fixture is slightly off kilter, some rooms need dimmer switches installed, etc. And the house is situated in such a way that his bedroom is pretty far away from ours, and the upstairs is carpeted so we don't have to listen to him stomping around in the morning. Hooray.
One casualty, unfortunately, was the bed frame. The staircase is kind of strangely angled and has a landing, which means that our gargantuan one-piece wooden king-sized bed frame couldn't go up it without possibly killing the banister, so we have to get a new bed frame. I'm now trying to find one that is sturdy and looks good but won't break the bank. Maybe something like this:

Went to Sprint today, fuckers pissed me off. I wanted to get my girls cell phones, so I figured I'd just throw them on the family plan. Its an extra ten bucks per line. I already have my mom on the plan, she doesn't use the cell at all, just has it for safety reasons - in case her car breaks down or something. She's old.
So, with two lines, I wanted to add two more. You can have up to five. Guy at Sprint says I can add one more line, but not two more. I guess it goes by your credit rating, and mine is not exactly stellar. Collateral damage from my divorce, its slowly recovering. (No advice please, I know how it works.)
I tell the guy "Call 'em up and tell 'em to quit fuckin' around, I want two more lines."
He does, they say fuck off. Three lines is all you get, dickhead.
So, I leave. Boiling mad. I can't get one kid a phone and not the other. The kids are in sports and band, they stay after school, their friends have phones... You can't be a kid these days without a cell. Its like not having a bike when I was a kid. Society, man. It is what it is.
Go to Verizon. Kids are with me. I was just gonna get them phones, now I'm gonna get them the hottest fuckinshit I can scam from anyone who will deal with me. (No Blackberries, though. I'm not getting them data plans. Thats bigboy toys.)
Half an hour later, we walk out with these, and they're happy as pigs in shit. Web and picture messaging disabled, I am not a stupid father of teenage girls. Unlimited text, touch screen (with drag functions), camera, qwerty, mp3, Bluetooth, microSD, these things rock.

It came out well, very thick and yeasty....needs a strong cheese with it. We had sharp cheddar, but maybe something even stronger would be good. He got the recipe from The Joy of Cooking.
He's planning to make lentil soup tomorrow, which might go well with it. Or we might get four different cheeses and see what goes best.

Ok, numbnuts, Palistenians are people in a FOREIGN FUCKING COUNTRY for all intents and purposes. They have rights in Israel the same way Mexicans have rights in the USA. If you want to say that its terrible that Palistenians cant vote in Israel, remember that no nation lets foreigners to vote in their elections, or drive on their roads without licensing, or come into their country without border checks.

This is my first street bike. I have only had dirt bikes in the past, and I only went off road with them. I'm excited!
my 1st bike was a 1945 harley 45 cu. in (small twin) flathead. solo seat. tank-mounted gear shift. foot clutch
hard to ride at slo speeds/cornering
i took my driver test on it.
instructor was a tad, wide-eyed (one normally takes the easiest bike to ride for testing) he said:
"i've never had anyone take a test on a bike like this."
i hit (1) cone.
boo-yah.
my 2nd bike was a ''winnah'' ....really. it was a raffle prize.
local police raffled a 1 yr-old harley FLH-PI road king w/ 900 miles on it.
$100 a ticket w/ limited entries.
i bought 5 tickies.
i won. rode it around the summer of '03, whilst we were building a house.
kitchen cabinets?...or motorcycle?
sold it fo $15,600
i'm not a huge cycle-kinda guy. too dangerous for me.
it's not the cycle driver i worry about.
it's the blue-hair, lurching out the side street in her grand marquis, oblivious to anything around her....

When I have more money coming in, and we're a little more stable.....I will have cats. Two of them. No more, no less. My boyfriend and I will never have kids. Just two cats, and maybe later a dog.
But you know what I promise to never, ever do?
Insert my pets blatantly and superfluously into comments on the internet.
"OMG, that was so funny! I laughed so hard my cats thought I went crazy!"
"Good lord, when I was watching that I said 'Oh HELLS no,' and my dog looked at me like 'Damn skippy.'"
"Holy shit, that was so scary I screamed and my cat was like 'Hey, hey....it's okay' and jumped in my lap."
"I can really tell my dog doesn't like Ben. Whenever he comes on screen, Toby is like 'Grrrr.....' It's so cute."
"That dress was so fugly my cat could tell it didn't work!"
I wonder about these people. Do they live alone? Are their pets transparently replacement children? Are they infertile, or just couldn't get someone to knock them up? For some reason I assume it's mostly women. Do they refer to their pets as "furkids"?
Lady, I really don't care what your pet's reaction was to the latest episode of Lost. Unless he stood up on his hind legs and said "This show is crap for exposition-- the writers really need to be hung up and disemboweled for getting away with putting five seasons of this bullshit on TV,"* then just shut up about him. Please.
*In which case, I want evidence on Youtube.

I hear you on the last part man. I was at a stop sign the other day and had a close call with a lady who looked right Effing at me before I started across the intersection. She decided to go right after I did and was surprised that I was already in the intersection. Luckily she saw me in time.

Actually, that is a big part of it. Not as smart per se, but I absolutely don't understand the motivation to bring a very stupid person into existence and spend most of your time with them for the next several years, making sure they don't fall off of things and bash their head in, listening to them scream and cleaning up after them when they throw food against the wall....that sounds like hell to me.
I do love cats, but I love them as warm, fuzzy, silly animals. I don't really anthropomorphize them.

When they grow up to accomplish great things and share your convictions and you can say you had a hand in it, and they become people capable of having mature relationships, some of which will be had with you.
It's a fundamental principle of human action: people will endure the disutility of labor in the present in the hope of achieving greater satisfaction in the future than would have been achieved had they not labored. It's the same principle that explains why people go out into the hot sun and dig up earth and plant seeds and apply fertilizer and pull weeds. They don't do it because they like sweating and digging and planting and handling cow shit. They do it because they expect to have a garden in the future, which expectation has a greater value to them than present leisure time.
It's just a matter of whether you think the future good is worth the present disutility. Which clearly you don't, in this case. But most people do. In economic terms, you have a higher than normal time preference.

Its actually very rewarding.
Another time, another place for that convo.
And I honestly don't enjoy other peoples kids. So I can really see your point. I like (pick a number) maybe 7% of them. Which oddly floats into the percentage of adults I enjoy. Sometimes you see a kid and he/she* says something cool, you're like "I like that kid!" Thats basically the ones that grow into kewl adults. I think. I don't have any hard facts to back that up, but I'm pretty sure it works that way.
*I almost never meet little boys I like, its always girls. Little boys are spazmodic retards.
**Anyone who makes a comment thats even slightly pedo regarding this convo, I will punish you. Just take your asshat off and skip to the next topic.
-
I honestly didn't mean to insult you guys who have kids-- that wasn't my intent. I admire people who decide to become parents and devote themselves to it, raising their kids as best as they can. I just don't think it's for me.....I would be a bad mom. People who can't handle the idea of owning a gun shouldn't have one, and that should go doubly, quadruply for people who don't want kids.
For the record, my own mother is fabulous. And luckily, she has never thought that my decision would be a reflection on her.

1 daughter is my boy's good friend...the other girl is a little, pain-in-the-ass, princess.
parents we talk to that have had boys & girls, say boys are so much easier to raise...

but he was never allowed, as spoiled as he may be, to be a little, undisciplined cretin. a regular, please n' thank you, well-mannered kid.

i dunno. i'm biased, i suppose, having only 1 boy.
but he was never allowed, as spoiled as he may be, to be a little, undisciplined cretin. a regular, please n' thank you, well-mannered kid.
I don't doubt it.
Its an "on the whole" observation.
I think what warps boys is the toys they're given, their parents/role models, and television.
I think what warps girls is their parents/role models, and television. Girls toys are basically idiot-free, and their television programming is not as violent.
Since any sexed kid can be born into a "good", "bad" or "indifferent" household, and the toys and television programming are the only differences between their formative, learning period, the bad and indifferent households churn out the kids who are left alone (to varying degrees) to absorb the fucking garbage that is marketed on their levels... I think its statistically more likely the number of children raised without fighting and killing mixed into their play and fantasy will be more prone to reason.
There are lots of other factors, but it is a significant influence. I'm not an avid proponent of the "NO WAR TOYS" argument, but lets just say if I had to raise a boy starting now, he would not have war toys as a young child. I wouldn't be vocal about it, I'd just steer him in other directions - and the television would stay off a lot.
The only child thats easy to raise is the one you leave alone to raise itself.

very true.
my kid isn't into gun toys, etc...only cuz he's not interested.
we've steered him toward drawing (i was deemed proficient, poss. still) & building/creating.
as much as i swear at the lego people (usually after stepping on the hard, sharp-edged motherfuckers, in the middle of the night + barefooted), the creativity they have inspired, is fantastic.
he's gonna be a gearhead, fix-it, artistic person, i have no doubt.
loves to help dad build stuff.
we've just gotten into model-building.
used to be a fav. of mine, as a teen...model cars & warplanes/ships..

Of all the chicks I ever fucked only 2 didn't cum.
Of those, 3 claimed it was the first time.
I can claim three back door virginities.
Batting 100% on those.

*I almost never meet little boys I like, its always girls. Little boys are spazmodic retards.
being the father of 2) girls, methinks your observations may be biased....
i have 1) boy, and the neighbors have 2) girls, 1) boy.

IMHO It is a crapshoot. I have a Uncompromising honest style of child rearing and have no problems worth mentioning. Two of my kids have ADHD that seems to disappear whenever I am around. One is a boy the other is a girl. My teenage daughter is less trouble then I feared she would be. She has a job and boyfriend at 17.
