For the record: I have believed in that principle long before I ever heard of Dr. Laura. Not that you indicated the opposite of that Rocky. She just happened to agree with me on that one. And yes, she is a pretty weird chick it seems. Sometimes I have agreed with her and like her "tough love approach", but other times I have thought her a major biotch! I think she is way too loose with her "Just divorce him" attitude. I mean, whatever happened to "in sickness and in health, till death do you part" ya know? And yeah, we are breathing a collective sigh of relief on our daughter's decision on this one. The boyfriend is a graduate of the Maine Maritime Academy, Is a First Engineer on Alaska's newest fast ferry the M/V Chenega, makes huge money, has lots of toys (new sport fishing boat for Alaskan waters, ATV's, snow machines, blah blah) and a house of his own in Ketchikan, but, he drinks too much (binges), and is very introverted, and just isn't Tialani's "cup of tea". And so, she is fine at 22 to keep on looking around and enjoying life in the meantime. My only problem with her breaking it off with this guy is that it will definitely break his heart, and I will feel bad for him. He is a really nice guy, and I certainly appreciate the fact that he has loved my daughter. And maybe she will learn something about how serious "having a boyfriend" can be, and that hearts are very tender...

And now that my "for starters" has been said, I will say that Polar Bear had some excellent points which also were mentioned by George St Gee. PB said: No kidding. My daughter has a boy friend, with whom she is about to break up, who has characteristics that she is not happy with. And she had mentioned that maybe over the years, "Phil will change". And my wife and I both told her that you don't marry someone with the thought in mind that you will "change him" over the years. You marry someone because you love who they are, not what you hope they will become. Something I have heard Dr. Laura say numerous times.And I can't remember exactly how George ST. G said it after he mentioned nymphomania as one pre-requesite, but he said something like "if you don't like who I am, leave me alone!" It's just that I can't go back and re-read it, copy and paste without losing this post in progress. But yes, by all means, I think it paramount for my woman to love me for who and what I am. Obviously when we are young and then marry, we don't know everything about our future spouse, but we can get a good feel for them and their persona before we tie the knot. And once we tie it, well, we live with our choice and love them come hell, highwater, good times and bad... Oh. Here is George's quote: I think that the only other girl I was engaged to (for two years while we went through the Corps) considered me to be a "fixer upper", and so, I finally wised up and called it off.

Outlander is cool, because it has that "back in time" thing. You see, this woman, a Sassenatch wench (English woman-a WW II nurse from from the 1940's) steps back in time by way of the "standing stones" (like the Stonehenge thing) and runs into Jamie Fraser, a 12th century Scottish Highlander who is caught up in the struggle against the wicked Crown of England. And of course Jamie is a fine swash buckling lad who needs her medical assistance... Umm, yeah, probably because reading is such a good thing as opposed to drinking. But really, if you want to get away from being so distracted with reading from doing what needs to be done for your Family, just remember that "it is a love thing", that's all... :)

You are exactly right when you look at it from a fives senses point of view. But, from a spiritual point of view, I can see the devil orchestrating the whole thing to happen on the date of the birth of our Lord and Savior. But, you most likely do not have that point of view. I love you man...

Do NOT read Gabaldon's Outlander series! I lost my wife for weeks on that one! Aaaaggghhh!!!!! I read the first one and like it, but I stopped there. " Oh Jamie ye've got a fine cockstand there!" Really, she couldn't put them down. Oh, but you were looking for answers as to how to deal with the problem. Well, just don't pick up another book for awhile. I love to read too, but, I do find books as a way to "excape" from what needs to be done, and there is always something to be done...

I negated any seriousness by saying that? I was and am dead serious about "that", that "yucky" thing. And, by the way, I started out by saying this: And so, good and plenty of sex is something not to be taken seriously huh? Glad I married my wife instead of someone like you who thinks of that subject as something that ought not to be taken seriously! I just said that first to get that one out of the way, because with most men, that is a very important part of married life. But, I guess it is just a joke to some. Thought I would say that first before going into the "Oh, a woman needs to be honest and bright, independent and intelligent" stuff. And so, yeah, I love my woman because she likes to take long walks while holding hands, loves the outdoors and camping, loves the opera and old classic movies. I love my woman because she loves to share hearts, and just loves it when I come home with a bouquet of roses just "out of the blue" when it is not even our anniversary or Valentines Day. She loves it when I cook dinner and have the table set before she comes home from work, with candle light for two and a bottle of Korbel in the champagne bucket. And she loves it when she finds me wearing her apron while I test marinara sauce, toss the salad, while playfully flipping fettucini against the window glass over the sink to see if it's ready. And I love it that she loves that....yeah.....

Thanks RG! :)

Thanks Dooj. I guess you just want to stir it up. Really. This is a serious thread.

Haha! Touche'! Howevah, that's my poor deprived Twin, and not me!

Well, I figured that since the opposite question was posed, I would ask this for the boys. For starters, I would like to say that one thing men want in women is lots and lots of unbridled and torrid sex... :)

I found it terribly ironic that the attack on our country occurred on Jesus Christ's true birthday. I knew on that day that September 11th would become a national day of morning. But on that day back in 2001, I sent out e-mails to believer friends commemorating Christ's b-day anyway. And so, thanks you Rainbow's Girl for this thread! Bless you and I love you too! Jonny Lingo

I don't need no sock in my pants! :)

Doojable! Where did your mind go?

Oh yeh, and it was Jeff. Jeff Spicoli. Yeah, that woulda been fun to be there I think. Haven't been to san Francisco in a long long time! 77 it was, for the first Heartbeat Festival. We did a little detour, my WOW fam and I, down to the Wharf. I'd been there a few years earlier when shipping out of the Port Of San Francisco and had lived out of a hotel for three weeks, and knew a tiny bit about the place. I lived in a hotel on Turk Street, I think it was. There it was that I "wasted my substance on riotous living" at the tender age of seventeen before I finally caught ship out of there. And so, I showed the WOW fam around and it was fun... p.s. And what does Spicoli have in his belt in that pic? A bagel for when he gets the munchies later?

Hey! You found my long lost twin brother! Handsome fellow I must admit. Although, it seems as if he's put on a few pounds. And hey girls, sounds like you all had a fine time of it. Good for you three! JL P.S. Ya know, that surfer dude looks just like "Spicoli" in the movie "Fast Times At Ridgemont High", ya know?

Umm, yeah. Lazlo Slocum. I made that name up. Only one third of the article is genuine. I made the rest up just for Mr. Ham, our resident squirrel who has been masquerading as a human. I like to tell stowrees ya know. Couldn't resist...

I was there. I remember it vividly. However, I remember no "screaming" as you say. I do remember VP telling us to get in gear over it, and, that he was appalled that Craig (who was sitting right there) had not turned his in already, even though it was before the deadline. Oh yes, it was an embarrassing and humiliating reproof for Craig, but there was no ten minutes of screaming. I was there, I know.

Well, it has since been reported that the squirrel had the characteristics of those normally found in New Knoxville, Ohio! And so, the mods can delete this thread, since I copied it and pasted it over on a new thread in "Open". Report it, eh? Okay. But, I don't see a "report" link. Maybe I'll just leave it lay...

http://www.wesh.com/news/14052662/detail.html Squirrel Attacks At Day Care ORLANDO, Fla. -- A squirrel attacked up to three people at a day care playground Wednesday. The victims included a child and a highway patrol trooper. The boy's name is not being released. He is being treated at Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital. Click here to find out more! Day care center workers said the boy was bitten nine times. Fire Rescue and Animal Control responded to the incident. A highway patrol trooper was bitten before the boy, and there are conflicting reports saying a female worker was bitten or that she fell and scratched her arm. None of the injuries seem to be life-threatening, officials said. "Apparently the squirrel was completely out of control" said highway patrolman Lazlo Slocum. "When I walked into the kids play area looking for the squirrel, as I passed a tree on my right and while looking up, all of the sudden there was a screeching blinding blur coming straight for my face! I tried to cover up, but, it was too late! The little horror attached himself to my face like a sucker fish on a glob of night crawlers! And he was clawin' me and bitin' me as I rolled to the ground, screaming in agony! Finally I managed to grab him and throw him off, and when he hit the ground, he ran up a tree and began to scold me. I held my gun on him though, waitin' for my back up to arrive. I wanted to shoot him right then and there, but thought better of it, with the kids around and all. Too bad I didn't though, because that's when he attacked the boy". Slocum, still dazed by the attack and nursing his facial wounds and trying to hold his gun up, failed to notice a boy standing nearby holding a peanut butter sandwich up in the air towards the squirrel as if in a peace offering. In fact, by this time, the squirrel, "chirring" in a friendly way, had come down the tree trunk toward the boy in a friendly manner to take the tid bit from his hand. When it became clear to Slocum what was happening, his loudly shouted; "Nooooooooo"! echoed off of the nearby trees and buildings. But it was too late. The squirrel jumped through the air from the trunk, and scrambled up the boys leg and tried to bite him in a place that no boy wants to get bitten! Yeah, a different kind of nuts we suppose. Luckily, the boy turned just in time, and was only bitten numerous times on his right but-tocks. His screaming still haunts those who heard it. Officer Lazlo Slocum, still with gun in hand aimed and fired three quick shots as the squirrel raced for the bushes, but, to no avail. Missed him. The squirrel got away, leaving the spectators and the wounded to the only sound that could be heard: The nearby sound of the Mocking Bird. "It seemed as if there was something diabolical in the whole incident. Absolutely diabolical I tell ya", said Earlene Shifflet the playground monitor and the one who made the initial 9-1-1 call. "It was like the animals was sendin' us a message or somethin. And, that squirrel reminded me of the one in that Ray Stevens song that tore up that church down in that sleepy little town of Pascagoula. Weird! And man, that damn Mockin' Bird really creeped me out when it was all over. What'd we ever do to them?" And so, the people of Orlando are on the look out for what may be one of the most dangerous squirrels to date. The officer and boy will undergo the usual rabies vaccinations, since the squirrel could not be examined. Could this be the beginnings of another version of Hitchcock's "The Birds"? And so, what gives? Ham? Please explain. Enquiring minds want to know

The TWI you describe with your very bad humor resembles nothing that I experienced in The Way, ever.

I'm sorry Rascal, it just seems to get so melodramatic here at times. Bottom line is, we really are where we are today because of where we want to be. We can go anywhere we want to go. We can stay where we are, go back to where we were, or go as far into the future as we want to. One thing that bothers me is this: I wonder about how many people who have come across this site who have long since moved on and forgotten so many of the unpleasant things that they left behind in The Way, who NOW are all stirred up again by what they have read here? People who just "shook it off" and kept moving, but now have become convinced by people here and by what they have read that fifteen years of their lives was a total waste! That in itself would be a really rotten thing. That would be a terrible crime, in my opinion. I have a mind picture of John Riggins of the Washington Redskins, shaking off that Miami Dolphins tackle and leaving him in the dirt as he ran to the end zone in that Super Bowl winning touchdown. That's for me. And that is also for the many who have successfully gone on in life after The Way. P.S. By the way, I am at work, and now won't be able to post anymore today till later. So, please don't be offended if I don't respond for a long time.

\Right on Chasu. And as an aside, I always marvel at how there are those here who think of themselves as knights in shining armour, riding through the Grease Spot cyberspace just itching to begin the "healing process" with a recent innie or someone or who just got out. I and my wife were kicked out back in 1990 because we refused to toe the line with L Craig. In other words, we chose to get out by way of not following the party line as so many did. So many by the way, who are probably here and only got out in the late nineties or early two thousands, and no doubt were ones who marked and avoided my wife and I as just so much scum. But now they are here to help with the "healing process". Shoot, we were healed the day we left...

Yes LZ, you make a good point. But it does seem like she (Whoopie) is coming to his defense. I just wonder if anyone at all would come to the defense of a famous white man for doing the same thing. And, amongst "white trash", there is a history of dog fighting as well. What if some white kid worked his way up and out of the trailer parks, got a scholarship in football to Duke or wherever, then got drafted into the NFL and was later arrested for dog fighting? I'll bet you no one would stick up for him as we have seen in the Vick case. It's a terrible thing that young Mr. Vick has jeopardized his NFL career. I mean, for every young man that makes it all the way to the NFL, there are likey tens of thousands of young high school stars who never even got a college scholarship. And many of these young kids are now injured for life with bad knees, and etc. And here the guy is, a star quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons! Wow! He has blown it so badly it's pathetic. But, I am hoping that the Law will simply be upheld when it comes to sentencing. NOW, I, on the other hand, don't see a reason for him to be banned from the NFL for life. The way I figure it, if a person commits some other crime, and does his time in jail, and can still play the game well enough, then if they can still cut it, they should be able to continue playing. Yes, Whoopie points out that dog fighting is a cultural thing, but, it's barbarity far outweighs it's legitimacy, and any defense in the name of "cultural background" seems to led towards an excuse for such behavior. I say throw the book at him for his crime and throw him in the slammer for no longer than any normal" person would go into The Big House for the same crime. And when he is out, let him see if he can still play the game. And if he can't cut it on the football field, then I guess his career will be over because of his terrible error in judgment. The one thing I have admired about him is that he admitted to doing it come what may, and he hasn't hidden behind some flimsy defense.

?How dare you use those three words on this website?
