If you've never lived in a place with an HOA, then how do you justify your rant about them? I've only lived in one place with an HOA and I had absolutely no problem with them. But then I read the by-laws and understood exactly what I was getting into before I bought the place. My dues were $200 a month, and I felt like that was fair enough. They did the things that they were supposed to do and kept us well-informed, and the one time that I had a tree about to fall over on my condo they had someone out there immediately to remove it (on a Sunday afternoon). Maybe I was just lucky, and/or maybe I have lower expectations than other people... but I don't get the whole "HOA's are pure evil" stuff, especially if you've never even had to deal with one.

Are you serious? I've never known anyone who was addicted to aspartame. And I've gone through times where I was drinking a lot of it but then stopped for whatever reason, and I've never had any kind of withdrawal symptoms from giving it up. I've heard claims of it being addictive, but I've never seen anything that was very convincing. But I've seen people form addictions to all sorts of things, so I'm sure it's possible...

Sure it is... You just fill out your profile with the name and information of someone you don't like. (Just kidding!)

I was expecting to spend most of the day at school, but I just got a call from my teacher to say that we're not having class today... so my spring break has just started a day early.

I think that in any job, especially something customer service-oriented, that you're going to have to deal with people that have unrealistic expectations. The type of person who can't deal with difficult people should probably not be in a customer service-oriented field. (Of course, even the calmest person in the world probably needs to vent sometimes, if they've been dealing with a few too many assholes.) I've been with the same auto insurance company forever, and I've had to put in a couple of claims with them (only one that was my fault)... and they have always been great.

Sicko.

Ah, then you should try acupuncture. I sort of like needles, even at the dr.s, but I guess I'm sort of weird that way. And I love acupuncture...

I have just figured out what I want to be when I grow up - a meat researcher.

Vinyl is fun!

Screw you, Amazon woman!!! I know that you live in your yellow submarine.

Cool, I love reaffirming stereotypes... but I'd like to know which stereotype I'm reaffirmrng (in your mind). (???)

I dyed my hair black once... It looked good, but since it was temporary dye it turned green, and then it wasn't pretty...

Interesting details about intellectual property

The Village People rock... I am now busting out with the YMCA moves... It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A... It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.- ay... They have everything for young men to enjoy, You can hang out with all the boys... -
Well, do we? (For some reason that song is stuck in my head, and it's bugging me!)

That is so cool!!! -
That's exactly what I was thinking... If I met someone over the Internet and we decided to meet for coffee or whatever, I would just assume that I would be paying for my own stuff. I can't recall ever thinking that it was the man's responsibility to pay for anything.

Totally off subject, but I just had this memory of learning what the word "homosexual" meant because of the Village People... My 4th grade teacher said something about not liking them because they were homosexual, and none of us knew what that word meant... and he didn't want to explain it, so I'm guessing that most of us went home and asked our parents what it meant (that's what I did). Oh, and yes, this was in the 70's... and I loved the Village People! -
I had one blind date that was set up by one of my close friends, and... Man, was that horrible! I don't know WTH she was thinking, but that guy was SO not right for me... I was just praying for the dinner to be over with so that I could go home (without this dude)!

Mmm, now I have this strange desire to chew on Keith's ears... Do you want to come live with me and be one of my kitties for a while? I'll even rub your belly (as long as Iggy doesn't get too jealous).

How? Besides the far right wing psychos, how does Christinaity do so? I've never really seen anything like this...at least in modern times. I could be wrong, but I think of Christianity as following the word of the Bible, which does proclaim women to be inferior to men (or it at least implies that women should be subsurvient to men) and non-Christians to be horrible sinners.
-
Ok, personally I think that Christian-based culture is pretty backwards... It advocates oppression of women and oppression of non-Christians. Why don't we just try a culture that involves actual thinking, rather than turning to some stupid religion for telling you how to live your life?

Bite your tongue! Yeah, that's what happens when you take a break from skydiving... You start enjoying the rain.

I love that picture! It reminds me of the Nine Inch Nails "Closer" video, where we keep seeing Trent Reznor's silhouette singing into the microphone that just happens to look like a boob... and then finally he licks it (god bless his little soul).
-
I think that you might be confusing Muslims with Radical Islamists... But then, hmm... the Radical Islamists probably think of themselves as Muslims, just as so many different people think of themselves as Christians (even though they have such radically different beliefs).

Hey, that looks like Skydive San Marcos! Man, I miss that place... Hope you heal well and soon!
