  1. Yep.. That makes it impossible for most at my DZ to make a Video.
  2. I just went and read the rules for this contest.. Sounds anything that actually represents this sport would be disqualified.
  3. So lets hear what you have created. Not really my type of music but I have heard MUCH worse. It surely took much more talent than I have to put it together (And I am even a former musician).
  4. I live in Atlanta. Umm.. Ever been to Atlanta? Mostly Black By a LONG shot. Are they well educated?? Most Are. Are they criminal? Some, Much like any other group of people. Being Black has NOTHING to do with being a worthless member of society (But Being a Bigot does). As for the video.. Yes, I have a 17 year old daughter, and if it was my Daughter I would be furious regardless of the race of the guy. W heather the guy is Black or White does not factor into it. As for condemning a Race because of the actions of the 3 individuals that mugged you, Sad. Just Sad. I will back away now before we get this sent into the darkest of all neighborhoods, SC.
  5. yep. damn Things wont stay Lit!!
  6. I LOVE a good foot, ankle and calf massage. And there is no reason to stop at the calf either! It is all about working your way slowly up the legs. Start at Feet, Work on to Ankles and Calves.. Then Slowly up to the thighs paying close attention to the inner thighs.. generally a fairly rewarding exercise for all involved.
  7. Consider E-Cigarettes?? Supposedly give you all the nicotine without the Carcinogens. Also since it is a Vapor, You can "Smoke" anywhere without offending people. I tried one and liked it. Not sure if it will help get off the cancer sticks or not but I an going to buy one and give it a shot.
  8. I dont get the whole foot fetish thing at all. They are feet. Nothing sexual at all about Feet to me.. Now I do understand the benefit of a good Foot massage (especially for women that have been wearing uncomfortable shoes all day). Now if I am giving said Foot Massage, It just as important to make sure the Calves and ankles are included in the massage. If the Massagee is someone of an intimate nature, Then an occasional Light Kiss on the top of the foot is absolutely called for. Toe sucking and such?? Not for me (Giving or Receiving). There are plenty of other places the tongue can be put to better use.
  9. a) Piss Off Skymama. b) Piss off pretty much everyone that doent have a sense of humor (More of those around than you would think).
  10. No Need for a poll. The unmatched Queen of all post Whores is no longer with us. The greatest are gone. Queen - GFD King - Freeflyer29 (banned for Life) Clown Prince - SkinnyShrek Others that are truly missed: The Ohio Girls (One still pops in occasionally) Jumpchick Funks (Banned for Life) Sudsyfist And many more I will think of after the 6 hour limit on editing runs out.
  11. Anyone here ever actually got the elusive Bag Of Crap? If so what did you get?
  12. My daughter Turns 18 in January. I told her Mother I want a Bill of sale that says PAID IN FULL. (She just laughs and reminds me about College.. My Payments actually go UP but I dont have to write the EX the Check and that makes it sooooooo much better)
  13. Yep. And if the hubby is away, That should help with the Multi-O`s too.
  14. I agree. I am just say that too many Bright minds are are being lost to law school. And I agree that people are going into Law School instead of Med school or Graduate engineering courses because it IS easier and They will not have to worry about becoming essentially a Government employee if this "Universal Healthcare" business goes through. Why bother with med school when the future is so uncertain for people working in healthcare. Become a Lawyer, Less hours, easier to get a Law degree, Better Pay, Less responsibility. Also every time a Lawyer gets work, It just means someone else needs a Lawyer. It is a HUGE drain on society that produces very little in the way of contributions to society. We are going to Lawyer ourselves out of existence if this keeps up.
  15. Seriously.. It seem that the number of lawyers is growing exponentially each year. Our best young minds are no longer going into Science (Medicine) and Engineering. Somehow limiting the number of people becoming lawyers would be a huge help in getting this country back on track.
  16. A few comments: No such thing. People get paid. Someone pays them. You did not pay, But the health care was NOT free. It costs money that someone somewhere earned. I have a totally different take on how health care can be fixed. You touched on some of the points that I feel are very relevant.. such as "To make a long story short, in the 1950s, health care was affordable to the average family." Why was that?? and why is it not affordable now? The first reason most want to scream is "Lawyers and Greedy corporations". I certainly agree with this some extent but it goes well beyond that. The first reason is that we have a MUCH higher expectation of what Basic Health care should cover. Back then, People generally only went to the doctor when needed. Many of the things that people are now routinely treated for were not even discovered back then. People now feel that they have a god given right to treatment for every little minor ache and pain. Restless leg syndrome, Irritable Bowel syndrome, Carpel tunnel syndrome, ADD and ADHD.. These things were not problems back then. I am not saying that these are not real problems as they are for the most part. Now combine this MUCH higher expectation of health care along with astronomical overhead for healthcare providers due to federal regulations and Liability insurance and frivolous (And not so Frivolous) lawsuits. Another MAJOR problem I think is that at one time Doctors were some of the most respected members of society. The brightest of our young minds wanted to become Doctors when they grew up. Now unfortunately, our brightest young minds grow up to become Lawyers. I remember someone posting a while back about how California (with a HUGE shortage of Nurses and an even bigger back log of people trying to get into nursing schools that were all filled to capacity) only approved 2 new accreditation's for programs last year yet they approved 17 new accreditation's for new law schools. THAT is a problem. Next is the costs of regulation. I sell software for a living, the software is EAM/CMMS Software (Enterprise Asset Management and Computerized Maintenance Management software). My customer base is Hospitals and Manufacturing Plants. The cost to implement my software at FDA regulated plants vs any other manufacturing plant is 5 to 10 times Higher because of the validations required by the FDA. This for something that just tracks Work Orders and Spare parts Inventory and in no way has anything at all do with coming into contact with whatever product (Pharmaceuticals or in other cases actual medical devises) that is being manufactured. Someone has to pay for this. Another major problem I see is the way we currently expect Employers to provide Group heath insurance. This means that vast majority of individuals do not have any real choice in who their health insurance provider is. Whatever your employer offers is what you get. This to a great degree bypasses the free market. What people that have health insurance provided by their employer quite often forget is that THEY are paying for it. It is part of their compensation package. I personally would love to see that employers no longer provided health Insurance and see people able to go out on their own and shop for the best Insurance to meet their needs. Give the choice back to the people. Make insurance companies have competitive once again. Make people aware of the true costs of health care. This would require that Individual Policy Holders get the same rights and regulations as current Group Policy Holders. I want to see every child in this country covered and I am more than willing to pay higher taxes to see that happen. But for Adults that are capable of working, I want to see limitations on what Working Taxpayers have to cover. Life threatening illness or Trauma, No problem at all. Restless leg Syndrome or Erectile dysfunction.. tell em to get a job. Suggestion for improving healthcare 1. Kill all the lawyers (Just kidding, we still need a couple of em, just no where near as many as we have). 2. Find ways to reduce unnecessary and very costly FDA regulation. 3. Pass legislation requiring health insurance providers to offer the same benefits and costs for individual Policies as offered on Group policies. 4. Discourage Employers from proving health insurance. Put the choice back in the peoples hands and thus force the health insurance providers to get completive again. 5. Cover all Children under 21 with health insurance.
  17. Got a Call at 2;00am with one of employees being detained by Canadian Customs and going to be sent back home for not having his paperwork in order. Seems he decided to play the old "I am here on vacation" game with customs to save a little time while carrying the Software (Disk and documentation) AND the PO and Invoice with him. Out of pocket loss to the company - $1,150 Airfare, $150 for hotel, $150 for Hotel he never made it to, and Fines not determined yet. Oh and customer that just canceled $50K order for software. That is my problem at the moment.
  18. That sucks. Heal Fast and enjoy the meds. Just remember, No more than 3 Beers or Two Shot per pain pill until bed time (Then Double the recommendations).
  19. The worst Kiss?? The one that you wanted and someone else is getting. THAT is the worst kiss.
  20. What Date and Time exactly is the Auction? (I Love the Facebook Updates idea so that those of us that cant be there can Bid Too.)
  21. All right.. Now I am REALLY Depressed. I missed the unedited version.
  22. True Wisdom and a great attitude.
