On an emotional level I just don't feel that way. There are many things I just don't feel free to say. And I've typed and erased about 10 different sentences... so, I'll have to leave it at that. I just don't feel like there's anything more I can say.
A) Metaphors. B) I find it works best to speak to someone in their own terms. They were both wrong. If I responded to that you and I would get into a fight and I would end up blacklisted or confined.
1. How long do I need to wait before dating again? I mean, how long is the usual rebound period? Whenever you feel ready. Only you really know the answer to that. 2. Being picky when it comes to dating is a good thing... isn't it? For dating? No. Date as many different kinds of women as you can. See what is out there. Get a wide taste of life. For a long-term relationship or marriage? Definitely! 3. If I t
Don't attack, and I won't need to defend. Mugg'z, like it or lump it, the admins have the power. We're playing in their ballpark. I would do things differently if I were in charge, too -- but I'm not. We have to deal with it and work within the parameters they set up. Just say "Yes, ma'am," and
Since you asked, I'll take this opportunity to say something I've refrained from. I think y'all dropping like flies, leaving JU, or poking at the admins till you get confined to your own blogs is a bad move. The "other side" goes as far as they can then back off when an admin squints their way. The "other side" knows that one can get away with practically anything around here (for at least a certain period of time) as long as they don't attack the admi
Hehehe... true or not, it's funny. (I have to doubt the Google part, too.) Is "Lucy Kuntz" the female version? Searching for "Kuntz" on Google currently brings up the sidebar ad: Kuntz For Sale Low Priced Kuntz Huge Selection! (aff) ebay.com Hehehehe. They should spell it the way Dean Koontz does -- less room for wise guys like me to mess with them. <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gif" border=0 AL
COL Gene The saying of e e cummings comes to mind, "Consistancy is the hobglobben of little minds". Works for me to describe the , "stay the Course" mind of George W. Actually it was Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essay "Self-Reliance." The full quote being, "A foolish consistency is the hobgobl
Earthquakes aren't worth it. I was in the car when an earthquake happened in Newcastle. There was a big jolt (like we'd driven over a speedbump), a booming noise and then some buildings fell over in the distance. Nothing too special. It's probably the least exciting natural disaster around. Moving cars

"(Past) Time for Griffey to Retire?".... "Major League Baseball in Las Vegas? Wanna BET?" Well, I read them both and commented on one. I know what you mean, though. My Lakers/Ken Jennings article, while highly rated from being on
So JU, what would you like to be able to do? Write a blog article that gets 100+ responses....
I've won nothing since,does that tell you anything? No. What was that supposed to tell me? Arnold Schwarzenegger is trying to look out for the hard working American
I doubt consumate, flawless logic would lessen any of the petty bickering. After all, we all know coyotes howl at the moon. (The second sentence was illogic humour, folks.)
I just got hit for another 8 points That sucks. Here, have a couple of insightfuls.
It's a decent enough show, but I'd be surprised if it lasted long. It doesn't help that it has a horrible lead in from the unfortunate 3rd incarnation of Last Comic Standing. That situation that will only get worse with NBC's next reality show poised to slip into that slot: a competition between two teams of extremely obese people where the one who loses the most weight wins. I'm not kidding. The show after it, Scrubs, may well be the worst show on tel
The Juliet Binoche-Ralph Fiennes version would be good I reckon. Philistine!! There is none other than Larry O! None I say!
How do I always get suckered into taking these things? Anywho... Wuthering Heights, one of my all-time favorite movies. To you poor souls who have not yet seen it, get thee to a video rentery. What Classic Movie Are You? personality tes
This isn't the Klingon empire. There is a standard of behavior that is pretty much universal here on Earth. You know if you behave in a particular way, you are risking losing teeth. Actually the Klingons also have strict codes of "ethics" and violating them will cost you more than a few teeth. See, bac
But the first time I noticed my points went down it was from a 5 to a 2 (last digit of the score). Could the 3 point switches be a combination of you receiving a comment (or two) and a trolling? Plus 5 minus 2? Plus 10 minus 2? That could fit. I just noticed a similar three point change in my
In fact, he/she has openly stated that he/she considers name calling to be a sign of high intelligence... I knew better. Even as I typed, I mentally screamed at myself, "Don't do it, you fool! You're asking for trouble!" Did I listen? Do I ever? I merrily clicked "post comment" anyway. Given t

different user levels take away different amounts of points? Does the same apply (in reverse) for insightful or interestings? Yes. Citizens are +/- 2 points. Moderators are +/- 100 points. I can't remember all the in between ones, but the next step up from citizen is +/- 3 points.
The only problem I see with it is if you knew what you were trolled for (and I would certainly like to know) it would probably be obvious in most cases who trolled you. For instance, I was just trolled. I'm pretty sure it was for my comment on JesusStaysCrunchy's anti-Brad thread "Free Speech Protection." A benign enough, strictly FYI post on my part, but raising the
I've been theorizing about something like this for the last couple of years. I've been looking at small town politics and thinking it should be relatively easy to take over a town or city with a relatively small number of voters/activists. (A state is another matter entirely.) I think the HUGE mistake made here was being so public about it. Attempting something like this should be a secret. They should have taken a page from "t
