I just thought the photo symbolized a vulnerability...just showing the natural, stripped down (no pun intended) side of her. I didn't see anything vulgar about it.

Is it just me or do Xavier and Izzy look very much alike? Simply adorable. :)
I hope to catch up on this thread soon...thanks so much for everyone's opinions thus far. :LOL: at the comic relief.
Well, maybe I'll find out tomorrow...gotta head to bed. I am using Firefox on a Mac laptop, btw (I don't use Safari for this site because it never seems to work). I could go use my PC, but heck, I wanted to lie here comfortably with the laptop...lol.
I've been replying to a few JU articles tonight, and after I type up my response and press send, the page does not show my reply. What in theee heck is going on. :P
Glad to see responses for both sides. I guess when it comes down to it, I would probably "err" on the side of being extra protective. I just can't see myself allowing that much freedom to my child, regardless of whether or not he/she is mature. I would just hope I would think of better (and safer) ways to let him/her experience some independence.
I read a few articles today about a columnist in NYC (Lenore Skenazy) who allowed her 4th grader son to take a subway by himself from an Upper Eastside store back to their Manhattan home. She gave him a Metrocard, A Map, $20, some change in quarters, and told him "I'll see you at home." The reasoning behind this was that the son wanted to experience independence, so she allowed him to have this experience (he successfully made it home, btw). Needl
Man, I need to get a Wii....I'm not a big gamer, but I remember enjoying Mario Kart the handful of times I got to play it. Definitely need to consider getting one. :)
Happy, Happy Birthday, Zoo! :) Hope you take time off your studies to have some fun! ;)
Yikes. It sucks when you depend on a medication so much. I've been there, but somehow, with enough willpower, you manage to get on without it. Hope you are rid of these headaches soon!
May as well be king of the Universe. ;) Love ya. :)
hiya, Mickey. I really do hope your sneezing has gone back to normal by now. I was this way for about two weeks. I think I made it worse by thinking about it so much. Then, one day, voila...I sneezed again. Just to ease your fears, I hope you've had a follow up with the doctor. Best of luck!
Happy Birthday to someone who is Sweet AND Special! Here is hoping you Kick up your Heels, Have Fun, and Enjoy your Special Day!
Happy Birthday, Zoomba! (Sorry, Donna, dropped the ball on this one. :P)
I'd like to read those magazine articles as well...it's pretty cool that you are being acknowledged for a beloved hobby. ;)
Pretty creepy and disturbing, honey...but some really good stuff. ;)
You have a wonderful talent there...very professional looking, and more than that, very beautiful. You have a bright future ahead in this. :)
Your fellow writers have already given you some great advice. Stay true to your characters and continued luck on your story. :)
(Note: doing this on Behalf of Donna until she is able to be on here more often!) <span styl
Donna, I am so sorry that you are going through some bad stuff right now. I'll say a prayer for your nephew and uncle. Gosh, it seems like things are hitting you from everywhere...I really hope things look much better for you in the days ahead. If no one else has volunteered, I wouldn't mind doing the April Birthdays for you on your behalf (I can start on tomorrow's if you want) :) I don't think I can do the creative poems you always put on, but I'll try my
I was pulled into this when you read it to me. Great job on this, honey. :)
:LOL: Chris, I LOVED this! It put one of those goofy smiles on my face (well, you do like my goofy smiles, right?) :CONGRAT:
[quote]t was a great 3 days. Next time though I wanna gamble alot more. [/quote] Oh, I'm sure you will next time...well, that is, if we save enough money. ;)
[quote who="RoyLevosh" comment="13"] I had a cousin that used to work at the White Sands missle range. Is it still there? I hadn't thought of it in ages. Anyway, other than going to Carlsbad caverns once and to Ruidosa as a child I haven't been many times to New Mexico.Oh! Wait! I DID go snow skiing (or what was supposed to be snow skiing, lol) once with a bunch of friends at Red River once. Boy, what a trip that was! But it was fun anyway! (cool pics, too BTW!)<br /
Hiya, Donna. :) Don't get too down about yourself for not contacting your loved ones sooner. Like your title says, sometimes there ISN'T enough time in the day. It is so nice, though, that you have siblings that care enough about you to worry. :) That stinks about the tickets. I hope the stars line up for you and your family soon so that you have a wonderful day out. :)
