I've heard that practicing conception techniques can be quite umm... stimulating :P-->

GFO I got to agree with the others, sex is good, the more the better :D--> That said, sometimes things end up in the wrong place and then what do you do??? :P--> It's hard to imagine your (meaning any gspot posters) post meaning anything other than what you intended it to mean (which for all of us without exception means it has earthshattering significance) yet read by another it can take on a whole different flavor and if you add a few smartarse comments, well even the most serious thread dealing with dreadful matters of grave consequence can take on a carnival like atmosphere. Add to that the fact that sometimes folks just post to the open forums without considering that it may belong elsewhere and thats got to add tons of work to the admin's job. I think too, the karma of this site is different than your exdub site. We've evolved from several other sites which were not nearly as user friendly or democraticly run. A very necessary progression given the task at hand, exposing craig's and twi's actions to the light of public scrutiny and providing a safe base for people to share their experience strength and hope in regards to a really screwed up mindset we found ourselves with (waybrain, a slightly bent perspective on life, similar to exdub brain only different) :D-->

17 positions? What am I missing here??

Welcome back Shell :)-->

Decriminalized POT??? Transgendered people are people TOO!!! Portland is obviously NOT a twi(t) stronghold ROK ON!! :D-->

So far we've had plenty of food but if we run out we'll just rustle up one of them midget deer that run around the place :D--> Seriously if you can come on down, no telling who might show up or who might need bail money :D-->

Ummm your logic evades me Liar but be that as it may it's entertaining at least ;)--> btw I like your writing style does it take long to do?

Did someone say Weenie Roast?? :D--> Be fun liar really

If you look at big business's record you'll see that at least one sector (if not more) has been through a depressed cycle in recent memory, it is an ongoing thing in our economy and won't change soon. The Federal Reserve (aka Alan Greenspan) has gotten quite good at managing our economy through all this however and it looks like they are going to manage the real estate *boom* by slowly raising rates. I'm guessing that banks will respond by selling more non assumables or leaving rates open to some adjustment. There's tons of speculating going on in the RE market with value exceeding reality in many cases so from a long term standpoint slowing the market down makes sense So what to do in the RE market knowing that it will be down for a few years (just how long will it take fer our kids to grow up n buy homes??) I'm thinking of buying an in town lot and having a home roughed in, finishing it out myself or... finding a location with a great view and building there or finding an older home in a transition neighborhood and redoing it... any suggestions?

This and the related threads and the various belief/unbelief stuff too (not necessarily in the soap thread, just somewhere more appropriate). I think leaving them in the open forum for awhile is fine but sooner or later stuff needs to get put in it's place. Being in the open forums gives hot topics greater exposure and postings but after a week or two they ought to be moved and since it is only a screen scroll further away I don't really see the problem. This is not meant to diminish the importance of what is being said mind you, both sides of any position usually have valid points.

I vote for the soapbox forums

Galen this is a good topic (great actually) as I've been giving some thought to what I want to do when I hit 70 or so. My situation got turned upside down a few years ago so I've made several adjustments to compensate. First off I'm in nursing school and when I'm done (age 52) I'll do a bit of local work to satisfy some forgivable loans and then do travel nursing where I ought to be able to sock away a few bucks and build up my ss (which I'm not counting out just yet). Right now I am lookin at several older homes that could stand some work and I hope to capitalise on the homes value as well as improvments (I've remodeled an old house recently and can do everything but brickwork) which should help me build a tangible asset base of some kind quickly. Thats basicly it, it's interesting to read the responses and to realise we are all struggling like most americans with figuring out how to provide fer our golden years and I'd say most of us will still be concerned about it when we meet that date. I've always felt that having a solid asset base like a house, ownership/interest in an ongoing business, a decent amount of cash reserves (enuf fer a year or two) and a part time job doing what you love is the way to go.

Ya know tho... Ifn he had as good a knowledge of the Kharma Sutra as he does those jeapordy questions that'd open up a whole new world of possabilities for ya :D--> :P-->

Paw I'm glad you started this, the open forum was beginning to look like Mondays amateur nite at the Variety Playhouse :D-->

True Tom but would you REALLY want to marry a walking Encyclopedia Brittanica? I mean really I can't see very many arguements going the other way with this guy, sheesh the guys a freaking genius and ifn he don't get you with logic he sure could confuse the hell outta ya with bs and you'd never know it.

Call yer credit card company and tell them it is defective and you want yer money back. Then call the bbb and report the problem to them. Then call the manufacturer and tell them the difficulties you've been experiencing with that particular vendor of theirs which ought to get the ball rolling if nothing else does. Good luck

The G'spot is a quirky community mostly cause it's made op of many individuals who come into (and out of) it's little corner of the universe who have learned one simple rule: to play well with others (to the best of our ability if the situation warrents it :D--> and the gawds be smiling favorable like on the unfortuate target ). Since it's content is not created nor led by one person or elite few (other than occasional moderation) it stands to reason that the flavor of the spot will change from time to time most especially so now since it's summer. I'm sure that the fact that the way doesn't appear to pose an imminent threat at this time nor is it generating any juicy gossip outside of pats legal wrangling has contributed significantly to the jovial atmosphere we are seeing. Gawd life is good ;)--> Happy Happy Joy Joy

Happy Happy Joy Joy!! Kelly I hope you have a WONDERFUL day :)--> Make sure you get your mom up real real early so you can open all your gifts!! :D-->

I think the reason folks drop in is cuz Paw hires fine looking waitstaff :D-->

I agree with the above posters and refer back to another page somewhere in the middle of this thread where somebody said something relevant about whatever it was we were talking about earlier. Can I take my meds now?

Tom we are a lively bunch aren't we :D-->

Hope it's a fine one herb

As a non traditional christian I find the church's perception of life to be quite anal at times. Fact is the world would be a much better place if they simply admitted what some realise already, that they really don't have a clue sometimes. It would make it so much easier than simply telling people ya got to accept it on faith etc. Derway wasn't the only cult I ran into, the RC's are just as cultic in nature as are (in some respects) the baptists and they ALL claim ownership of all truth and consign to hell (by their theology at least) many who disagree with their doctine (the ultimate mark n avoid). I see God as a rather disinterested being, more concerned with his celestial plaything overall than our part in it all. Fact is I think he sorta started this thing called existance and then went off to play with something else like his hot car collection or sumthing (I feel this way particularly after significant *events* happen). At times I question the perfect all knowing all powerful god theory as it leaves out one crucial factor (imo). If God is and was perfect, then how did corruption creep in seeings how everything that exists origionally came from this all knowing and all perfect God? I understand the debil snookered him, but this is god we're talking about. I hear of free will and all that but if God is perfect and only perfect things come from him then where did the evil or bad choices that mankind seems adept at finding and making get here in the first place? It's a puzzlement to me that's fer sure

I'd shoot Hitler, crush the snakes head thereby killing it and either pet the dog or call animal control.
