Small accident on the boat.... swelling on my leg just under my left knee cap - appeared as though I had two knee caps on one leg.

Was alcohol or fire, or life threatning activities the cause of your third kneecaps? i.e. Hanging out with Turtle??

ill make you spaghetti

I'd be down, I have nothing to do today, except read and I'm in AZ. Now I have one very very important question.

How do you make the sauce? Canned? From scratch? With or without meat?

Those questions are far more important then organic chemistry. Who needs that anyway? Doctors and their like minded ilk. It's sorcery and witchcraft I tell you! Burn them at the stake (Except for Brandon and Kbordson (cause he is an Airwhore and can perscribe narcotics and Kbordson is a badass)

DirtyB, I don't know why but I have to say your avatar is creepy as fuck

What? You don't like redheads? Or dolls?

I love redheads. They're like nitroglycerin, you have to handle them just right otherwise it'll be a bad day, sometimes you can still do everything right and still get burned...

Dolls...hell no, I've seen to many horror movies...

DirtyB, I don't know why but I have to say your avatar is creepy as fuck....just FYI I guess. Have a good day.

You bought women dinner so they'd sleep with you? What a cad.

No No No No, I bought women dinner so they would go out with me. I bought them drinks so that they would sleep with me. Geesh, gotta spell it all out for some people

Either way, it still didn't work did it??

I wanna go back and sue all the girls I bought dinner/drinks for that didn't put out. Even if they don't have to pay but $10 a piece-I'd be golden

Is this ethical?

It's hard to say with such limited information. But apparently the jury thought it was fair.

I meant to ask if it was ethical to do so. I changed it above and in the original post.

prenuptial agreement for engagement

I don't have that kind of money, so I'd need insurance if I got into that kind of mess.

I didn't say I would be yelling and screaming... I said it would be difficult to not get angry... I would probably be quite capable of maintaining my anger level and wouldn't get upset... but it would be stressful...

if I did get angry I wouldn't take it out on anyone... I'd just get upset...

Well, there are ways to blow off steam. Maybe not the best thing to do, but go out to a firing range with a semi-auto rifle and just blast away at the targets. Preferably large fruits or vegetables like pumpkins, melons, etc... It's fun to watch them explode. "Yeah, take THAT, motherfucker!" When it's all done, your BP has already started going down.

Or you could go to the dz and jump or set something on fire.

Men (or women) who decide to get on bended knee: Be warned. You could find yourself on both knees, facing a judge instead of a justice of the peace.

That’s what happened in Florida this week, when a woman was awarded $150,000 after suing her former fiancé for calling off their wedding.

For RoseMary Shell, the jilted bride-to-be who left a high-paying job in Pensacola to live with her prospective partner in Gainesville, there was a “wow” in lieu of a vow.

“[I was] a little bit [surprised], but I was thrilled,” Shell told TODAY’s Meredith Vieira on Friday. “But I felt like justice was really done.”

For Wayne Gibbs, the ex-fiancé, a case of cold feet came at a price.

“Mr. Gibbs feels that the verdict did not accurately reflect the evidence and will appeal,” Hammond Law, Gibbs’ attorney, told TODAY in a statement. “In addition, there are significant legal questions to address, including, but not limited to, whether or not breach of promise to marry is a viable action under Georgia law in 2008.”

From bliss to diss
It was 2001 when Shell and Gibbs, who were each divorced with grown children, met through mutual friends and began dating.

According to Shell, the couple had intended to get married when her youngest son went off to college in 2005. When that didn’t happen, she broke up with Gibbs and moved to Pensacola, where she landed a human resources job that paid $81,000 with benefits. Trying to carry on with her life, she started to date someone new.

But in October 2006, Gibbs asked her to move back to Gainesville — and he proposed with a 2-carat diamond ring. Shell said yes. A wedding date of Dec. 2 was set.

About a month after Shell moved back in with Gibbs, however, Gibbs expressed second thoughts in a note he left in their bathroom: He wanted to postpone the wedding.

Gibbs and Shell stayed together a few more months before officially parting in March 2007. Shell chose to take legal action and sued three months later.

“Primarily because he made a promise to me and I relied on that promise and gave up a lot of things because of that promise,” Shell explained.

“And I suffered significantly for it,” she added. “I just felt like people shouldn’t be allowed to do people that way.”

During the three-day trial, Shell testified that she had given up a good salary with benefits to move back with Gibbs. In her current job, in the accounting department at North Georgia College and State University, Shell is making $31,000 a year.

Gibbs testified that he took Shell on several skiing trips during their renewed partnership, made house payments for her, and gave her $30,000 to pay off some of her credit-card debt. He claimed he got cold feet after learning she had even more debt.

Shell disputed that Gibbs was unaware of her overall debt of $42,000. “It’s simply not true,” Shell told Vieira. “We discussed my debts before I left Florida. We discussed my debts when I came back from Florida. He had a list. He knew exactly what I owed. That’s all just kind of a smokescreen.”

A precedent?
After hearing the case, a Hall County jury awarded Shell $150,000 on Wednesday.

Lydia Sartain, Shell’s attorney, said her only reservations about taking on the case were over the “conservative” nature of area residents who might make up the jury.

“We really debated quite extensively whether to bring the case,” Sartain said. “But we just felt so strongly that in this case he had told her to quit her job and she relied on his promise. He came to her in Florida and moved her back into his house, took steps above and beyond the usual ‘Will you marry me, let’s plan a wedding’ and then somebody backs out.”

“Really, we believe now that he never intended to follow through on the promise to marry,” Sartain added.

Sartain also told Vieira that she hopes the case sets a precedent that an engagement can be a binding contract: “When you give your word to do something and you cause people to rely on it to their detriment, then you may be held accountable for any damages that you cause.”

As for her engagement ring, which she displayed to Vieira and TODAY viewers, Shell said she does not know the value — but she will try to sell it.

“It means nothing now,” she said.

Is this ethical? I know you shouldn't ask someone to get married unless you mean it, but suing for $150K? I can see where the lady feels slighted, and pissed off but people do get cold feet right? I'm not married, or ever been engaged, so I have no basis for comparison.

Massages...and gourmet food.

Do what any red blooded American would do. Sue everybody directly or indirectly involved. Somebody will pay you to go away.

Soon as you involve lawyers in ANYTHING, the only thing you can be certain of is that EVERYONE is about to get screwed.

I couldn't agree with you more. No reason you shoud be the only one getting bent over. If you're going to go down take one of the SOB's involved with you. On a serious note, I would start writing letters of complaint/e-mails straight to supervisors, CEO's, BBB, etc to anyone who will listen. At the very least you should be given an apology for all of this.

When shit really hits the fan and your blood pressure and temper are about to erupt, just stop, sit down, open up a cold beer and really try put it in prospective everything that has happened and know that this will work out and one day it will be a good I got fucked story to tell around the bonfire.



That's a real muther effer, but it'll work out.

Well, come on, it wasn't "PS. I love you" or anything. It wasn't the best movie of all time. But it was entertaining and enjoyable. I didn't leave the theater saying to myself that I just wasted all that time viewing a sucky movie. I left the theater chuckling and having a good time. It's just entertainment. It gave all of us some good conversation on the way home. I thought it was worth seeing. By no means was it an Oscar nomination film but I didn't think it was trying to pass for that. I took it for what it was an enjoyed it.

I usually enjoy Will Smith's movies. I expected this movie to be as Quade said "a superhero parody/comedy". Judging from the media campaign and trailers, that seemed to be the direction the filmakers were taking it. I agree with you that the first half of the movie was entertaining. I enjoyed it up and to the point where the "big twist" happened. (I don't want to spoil it for anyone). The movie at that point went from a comedy to I don't know what to call it. I don't think that twist should have been there, it confused the story.

I didn't think it delivered on the promise of a Will Smith, 4th of July, comedy / action movie.

It's not a parody.
It's not funny enough to be a comedy.
It doesn't have enough real action to be an action movie.
The special effects aren't special and they didn't have that great of an effect.
The back story is very cheaply told rather than shown.

It starts out ok in what looks like it's going to be a parody, but then turns into a "real" story that makes the whole thing fall flat.

All in all, just not that great.

Quade, I agree with everything you just said. I would like to add, that it had a good premise, and they could have done something that could have been a really good movie, if they had spend more money on a decent screen writer who knows how to tell a good story.
