MEN ONLY: What is your favorite hair/eye color combo for girls?
MarkFoster replied to niolosoiale's topic in The Bonfire
I believe that if I ever met a woman with hair on the eyes (hair/eyes), I'd not find any color combination appealing. ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it. GravityGone -
imagine that........................................

just "stop imagining" -
... have to concur with that. ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it. GravityGone

mmmm... so many. ... at office (spent so much time, felt like home): sneezed while opening the mensroom door, violently jerked the door back and hit my forehead, partially knocked myself out, hit floor, bruised tailbone, left door-edge shaped crease down middle of forehead, went back to office, answered ringing phone, still dizzy, sat down to talk, missed chair, bruised tailbone again. ... unfortunately true story with witnesses. ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it.

... proof once again that we were much smarter when much younger...

......... guess your life's been different than mine...sorry about that. I've been fortunate in having real bad & real good and appreciate the contrasts of both. ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it. GravityGone -

Hi Bill... hope you and the family are doing well and I hope you have a great Holiday. I get sucked in most weird things... natural tendency I suppose. The avatar is a photo Wagar took from the helicopter two summers ago... so I use it as a memorial sorta thing.

Subject: LOVE A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined: "When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." Rebecca- age 8 "When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.You just know that your name is safe in their mouth." Billy - age 4 "Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other." Karl - age 5 "Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs." Chrissy - age 6 "Love is what makes you smile when you're tired." Terri - age 4 "Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK." Danny - age 7 "Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss" Emily - age 8 "Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." Bobby - age 7 "If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate," Nikka - age 6 "Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday." Noelle - age 7 "Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." Tommy - age 6 "During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore." Cindy - age 8 "My mommy loves me more than anybody . You don't see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night." Clare - age 6 "Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken." Elaine-age 5 "Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford." Chris - age 7 "Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day." Mary Ann - age 4 "I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones." Lauren - age 4 "When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you." Karen - age 7 "Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross." Mark - age 6 "You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget." Jessica - age 8 "Candles." Naia - age 3 ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it. GravityGone -

Jumped a few days early November 2005. The rolling hills and lake scenery surrounding the dropzone are outstanding. Good landing area and being expanded. Lots of freeflyers of all experience ranges. Friendly culture. Would like to have seen something in food or coffee service (even a machine would be nice)... but a minor quibble... just for the sake of quibbling. Also, observed very professional instruction taking place and a lot of instructors... seems like it would be a great place for students. ... hope very much to make it back.

It never fails to baffle me…. Why do so many worry about what others read, watch, do, like or believe? You can always not read it, not watch it, not do it, not like it or not believe it… but why insist others do the same? This is really confusing. ps. what do jump numbers have to do with this forum? One with a stated theme of “non-skydiving” discussions...one that has evidently evolved to a place for adrenalin junky (type A-Z) personalities to vent, babble incoherently, postulate, pontificate, hit on each other and plot takeover of undefended small island nations. A gazillion studies support the position that doses of escapism are healthy (unless it’s out the door at 13k with no rig). ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it.

mmm… … walking in on your wife cheating on her boyfriend with your girlfriend while they’re being nasty watching re-runs of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood… and the embarrassing part is that you walk in holding hands with your girlfriends husband. ...geez, I need more sleep. ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it.
