That's what I thought this thread was going to be about when I saw the title.

Study: 'Magic mushrooms' have long-lasting benefits
Shotgun replied to Butters's topic in Speakers Corner
And it's scary to think how many more people would be walking around thinking that they are the walrus. -
Well, when you put it that way, it does sound kinda scary.

The only dog I've ever been bitten by was a weiner dog, but it didn't do much damage. (Sorry Speedracer, I had to put those two words in a sentence again. ) But I came very close to being attacked by a pit bull one time, and that was one of the scariest experiences I've ever had. (Freakin' assholes that would let a dog like that run loose around the neighborhood.)

Yep. Silly, isn't it? When I lived in some apartments in Austin, I had some guests from England staying with me one time. They had been to the pool while I was at work, and later the management called me to complain that one of my guests had changed shirts by the pool, exposing her boobs for a few seconds. I don't get why it's a big deal to see naked people. And, as for the remarks about, "people you would never want to see naked".... Ummm, whatever. The idea of the nudist camps isn't to go look at naked people; it's to have a place where you can be naked if you want to, since most people (in the U.S.) freak out about nudity in public places. But if you can't stand to see less-than-perfect people naked, then yeah, best not to go to those places.
-
Wow, that's a cool picture.
-
I've heard of those places and wondered if they were worth the price. They do look like fun.
-
Thanks. That's funny. And I'll have to admit, I had to look up "pwned" at urbandictionary. Guess I'm getting old.
-
The camp might be fun. Not sure about the children though; I guess it would depend... I don't think that most nudist camps are sexual in any way, so it probably wouldn't be a big deal to have kids around, as long as their parents are there and keeping an eye on them. There is a nudist club sort of close to here that we have considered joining, mostly because I want to have a place to go swim in the nude. (I seriously hate swimsuits.) I'm not really interested in their other activities though (Naked volleyball or tennis??? Ouch, I need a bra! ), and it's sort of expensive to join, so we're looking at the option of just getting a pool at home instead. They do have naked hiking though, and that sort of sounds like fun.

When I was a little kid, I thought that adultery meant thinking bad things about adults. So my family was quite amused when I admitted to them that I had committed adultery. Good thing they didn't think it was a shooting offense.
-
Yeah, maybe I should put up a sign at Elsinore and Perris..... Oh wait, I don't want to let any of those filthy skydivers into my house. And riddler: I was thinking the same thing... "Man, that bird was dirty." And cocheese: Maybe if I was stoned that joke would have been funny.
-
That's probably what it was, because we have tons of those around here, and it looks like it was a bird about that size.
-
I've never been to a nudist camp, but I used to go to the nude beach near Austin quite a bit (Hippie Hollow). I have some friends who go on a nude cruise every year, and they always come back with a group portrait. It's kinda funny seeing a picture of a huge group of naked people on a cruise ship. But I wouldn't mind to go sometime.
-
Or I must have had brand new windows installed just a few hours ago.
-
Maybe I'll leave it there as a warning to other birds. I guess they're not used to us having clean windows around here. And yeah, it does look like it must have hurt.
-
Well, you know, I wouldn't want anything out of the ordinary.
-
The guys just left from installing our new windows, and I go upstairs to check them out.... And one of them has a big smudge on it.... And on close inspection, it's obviously a bird print. I don't see any dead birds laying around, so I guess the little fellow was OK. Tried to get a good picture . . .

Vanilla. I like everything vanilla.

I have a bagless Hoover Windtunnel that I got from Walmart, and it does a good job picking up the hair from my four cats. I don't remember how much it cost, but I remember that it was a lot cheaper than the Dyson that I also considered getting.

What is going to happen to this Country>>>>?
Shotgun replied to galvar2439's topic in Speakers Corner
Me too. I've worked with people of all ages, and I've never noticed a correlation between age and work ethic. -
It seems that the whole state has been on fire the whole time since I moved out here eight years ago. Umm.... Not that I've had anything to do with it. It was probably on fire before then too. But yeah, maybe Zeus and Jupiter and Indra (and whoever else) sent down a few strikes, just to show that they're still around.

Well, if you choose to jump at a dz that does not require seatbelt usage, then you have already chosen the safety level that you are comfortable with, since you should expect that there may be people on the plane not wearing seatbelts. Yes, maybe the person choosing not to wear the seatbelt is making it more dangerous for you, but then why jump at a dz that you think has unsafe practices (like not requiring everyone to wear a seatbelt)?
-
I don't know what happens to the majority of people not buckled in - if they get thrown from the car or not. In the one serious accident I was in, while not wearing a seatbelt, I was thrown from the driver's side to the passenger's side with enough force to break the passenger's side window out, along with busting the windshield and the stereo with my body. I feel fairly certain that if someone had been sitting (seatbelted) in the passenger's seat then I would have injured that person as well. I don't know... It's not a law that I feel strongly about either way, but I probably lean toward thinking it's a good law.
-
What about when the group of people includes both adults and children? Is it OK for the children's lives to be endangered when the adults in the vehicle choose not to wear seatbelts? (A kid being hit by a 100+-lb adult in a bad accident probably wouldn't fare too well, even if the kid was belted in.)
-
If you have anyone else in the car with you, then you are a danger to them by not wearing a seatbelt. Because if you have a wreck, you can become a projectile if you're not strapped down, and you could seriously injure another person if you hit them.
