While I am pretty much of an opinion that devices only designed to take human life should be controlled better than they are in this country, there are some compelling arguments as to why I should own something with impressive firepower… 1. removing fungus infected toenails (not me… other people at my gym) 2. correcting unruly nose hair 3. convincing the bats in my refrigerator to sleep elsewhere 4. wing amputation of mosquitoes in minnesota 5. erratic driver tutoring (tire shots only, but all 4 allowed if they were on a cell phone at the time of incident) 6. flea and tick removal (self or pets) 7. speedy can opener 8. scratching apparatus for hard-to-reach places 9. television repair to correct cnn coverage of anything (or any news announcer for that matter) 10. packer education (how the last opening felt in the neck) 11. toilet plunger replacement 12. teaching mechanism for person clogging toilet 13. preparation h replacement (note to self – use with caution) 14. aggressive eradication of anything by barry manilow 15. ear wax remover (another note to self – what?) 16. super-efficient body piercing tool 17. novel way to shoot pool 18. floss replacement 19. threats to myself when the urge to get back with an ex surfaces more...??? ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it.

One of the most amazing and bewildering phenomena to me is the contrast in the perspective of an event, depending on the participants, or each participants viewpoint. For example, ….falling asleep and waking up next to someone with whom you don’t feel a connection (or maybe even find objectionable) can be one of the most excruciatingly painful and uncomfortable incidents on the planet… to the point where you’d like to turn yourself inside-out to avoid skin contact. … but when falling asleep and that connection is there… slight touching, lips on neck spooning, or just the presence when awakening… could be the most exquisite experience into which we stumble. How many other experiences have this kind of opposite-pole based on viewpoint? ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it.

nope, don't get it... but then i have a mind like a steel sieve and the attention span of a moth (after hitting the windshield) ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it. GravityGone

1. An ex-girlfriend saves hairballs in jars as souvenirs. She doesn’t have a cat. Is this customary? 2. Is it normal to hack-up hairballs after sex? Not oral… just intercourse. …the two questions aren’t related as far as I know. ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it.

Jumped once here (4 days). Professional staff, very nice aircraft, expresso!, very good facilities. Didn't much care for the cart ride to the aircraft, but not a big deal either.

... been to Perris twice. I'd like a little more grass landing area, but overall lots of outs, if sandy. Good freefly coaching and of course... the tunnel.

Jumped here one day. Nice friendly staff, good outs for off landings. I hate sitting on the floor, so tend to downgrade for that (just personal preference).

Jumped here a couple of days. Very limited in options if landing off. I personally don't like sitting on the floor, so rate aircraft lower if that's the configuration.

How friendly is this cat (I see a mix with Abssinian & Siamese)? I knew someone who had an Abyssinian and it hated the planet and everything on it. I had a Siamese once though who was extroadinarily affectionate (or it just liked rubbing hair on everyone), so maybe they balance out. ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it.

great responses! I feel more comfortable now. ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it. GravityGone

A girl that I dated a few times read an old thread (“scent of a woman”), got quiet and asked if it was about her. I assured her it wasn’t. She said she believed me. However, a few days later we were discussing maybe having a date on Halloween and what costumes we should wear. She decided that we’d pick the other’s costume and we’d both obligated to wear the choice. I picked “Slutty Postal Worker” for her (leather bikini, automatic weapon and blank stare). For me she picked a: “man-thong made out of live chickens”. At this point, questions and concerns ran helter-skelter through my brain with muddy feet… 1. I don’t know but it seems like this costume could have some drawbacks and might even be a little dangerous? 2. I like her ok, but is she trying to tell me something? 3. Would this be considered cruelty to animals… you know... chicken trauma, fowls scarred for life…stuff like that? 4. Would it be inappropriate to eat the chickens afterwards? 5. What if you had to cook chicken like lobster… throw them live into a frying pan? 6. She just ordered a set of ginsu carving knives… should I be worried? 7. What if the chickens get hungry? 8. Is this legal? 9. Will I look fat? 10. How much candy would I get? 11. Would it be weird if it were roosters instead of chickens? Anyone have similar experiences or advice? ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it. GravityGone

not sure if this qualifies as bold, but... ... took the petals from many, many roses and covered her with them completely from head to toe... removed them one by one with my mouth. ... however, we did break up later... wasn't sure if was the allergic reaction to the flowers or just me.

So… your significant other has offered 10 minutes of warm breath and a brush of lips against a place of your choosing. You choose… 1. the inside of your wrist 2. the hollow at the base of your throat 3. the line of your neck below your ear 4. the curve at the small of your back 5. the base of your spine 6. the point of your hips 7. the edge of your lips 8. somewhere more esoteric (this is a question of fleeting sensuality, not sexuality, so the obvious erogenous zones are excluded) ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it.

Erich Wager from Minnesota... took it from a helicopter jump we did in Baldwin WI (Skydive Twin Cities). ...a good skydiver, good father, good person and a good friend who died in a base jump last year... so the avatar (ugly as I am) remains as a reminder for me. ------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it.
