Sounds like me when I first started driving in New Jersey In most areas, instead of a standard left turn, they have "jug handles" which basically means that if you want to turn left, you have to be in the right lane (makes sense) and take the jug handle around to the light and then go straight through to complete the left turn. Very confusing until you get used to it. F

Women are, by nature, more emotional than men. That is a generalization of course, but on average is true. I have seen men who cry when they are very angry, but of course the rest of us guys usually make fun of them. Not saying it's right, just a guy thing. Women cry and/or throw things (like my ex) Men get quiet and/or strike out with their fists. Just our nat

I suppose you think that the American taxpayer should pay for all the things you mentioned that these workers have "earned"? I WORKED my way through college. Nobody paid for except ME. I busted my tail to make sure that I could get a decent job and make a decent living. Trust me, I do not live like a king. Right now I have about $600 left of my savings and am unemployed due to health issues. I also have no health insurance at the moment which

IT'S A TRICK I TELL YOU, IT'S A TRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been saying all along that oil had nothing to do with this. I have a few friends that now owe me a beer or twelve. I made a bet with them that the Iraqis would have control over their oil resources before the end of summer. SUCKERS!

Sorry miki, all male Actually diet plays a large part in the chemicl balances of your entire body, including the brain. Adjustments in diet can and do affect these balances, especially when one has a genetic predisposition to imbalance in the first place.

More from the old notebook: I feel that I have spent my entire life searching for something and never finding it. What am I searching for? Happiness? Myself? Both? Neither? I don't know if I have ever really known who I am. No, I DO know who I am. My depression had reached deep within me The fog, the blackness had enve

While sorting through the material pieces of my life in preparation for the move, I ran across an old notebook. It is the notebook which I kept during my first bout of serious depression and was in treatment for it. I haven't seen or read this thing in several years now. After scanning through it, I decided to set down a few pieces of it in my blog. Here goes

Sounds like this guy needs a nice long vacation. Perhaps a cruise? Just let me know what ship so I'm not on it.

If someone close to me commited suicide I was angry at my father for a great many years for exactly that reason. I just couldn't, wouldn't understand it. It wasn't until later in life when I was striken with severe, paralyzing depression that I finally understood what he went through. It's a genetic d

Most of you know my beliefs (at least some of them) on the matter of God. While Marvin's article is somewhat lacking in real substance, I do basically agree with his point that the creation itself is the evidence of the creator. I won't expound further on that. As to evolution, some here are speaking of macro evolution and some are speaking of micro evolution. Any serious discussion on the topic should specify which idea you are really speaki

What a question! I have so many. Too many to list. My favorite at any given moment depends on my mood. Here are some I especially like. (In no particular order) Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach if you have never read this one, it's a must read. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams I love his style of turning a phrase. This series of books (I have the entire set in a single volume)

When my best mate and I used to feel a little anxious, or scared, or like lifes shitting on us - we'd thrust our shoulders back, sing the Indiana Jones theme tune to ourselves and charge on into the next great adventure I love those sill

Many Americans, myself included are growing weary of the idiot rulings by our courts. Somehow, slowly, our courts have been taken over by lunatics and imbiciles who have totally lost touch with both reality and the concept that courts are supposed to enforce and interpret law, not make law. This is just another fine example of the inexorable break down of the American Court system. Americans can't sue their own government, but they can sue oth

Wow, I had registered at a website the other day that deals with employment in the telecommunications industry. At the time, I really didn't have much optimism that it would produce much. This morning I checked my email, and the site had sent me a job referral that matched my background and experience! While the job is in GA instead of FLA, it still sounds li

Sea water? That's a new one on me. It's usally good for aiding skin irritations. I tried Nasonex a few years ago, seemed to work ok, but always gave me a splitting headache. As I am not a person who gets headaches, I would rather have the allergies.
