I do not have that level of patience or dedication with pets. I suppose it is a good thing I have fish. I feed them regularly, change the water and make sure the tank is at the right temperature. Beyond that, if they die, they get flushed. "No mammals" is one of my rules for pets. Honestly, I don't see how dog and cat owners do it.

Smart people with a shred of common sense know enough not to want to be president. So how do we get any decent candidates, in any party? That is the conundrum.
-
But right isn't right. Right is wrong. When you take away the right, because it's wrong, what do you have? What's left! See? It all makes sense.
-
I'm really not very left. Much more towards the middle. Maybe your synapses are just having some miraculous recovery from when you got your Rightie Lobotomy.

Americans now fall into two categories: those who are embarrassed and those who should be embarrassed. I'm among the former.

Food critique from a French Canadian. The essence of taste: someone who spreads moldy cheese on roasted roadkill moose. STFU, Remster, or we'll take over your country too and make you eat MREs from a Red Cross shelter!

Not that different.

You have that as backwards as the foreplay thing in the other thread. It is because "We are a bunch of hard assed death defying perfectly good plane shunning skydiver dudes and dudettes", that we can be confident enough in ourselves to say, "Hell, yeah, I'll eat some muffins! Hot muffins with a little bit of butter are the shit!" And Turtlespeed, I agree on the Jiffy Muffins.

Interestingly enough, the Republican Party can: GWB. He is his own biggest challenge. While you are right that some Democrats will vote for him, his actions have also angered some Republicans enough to vote for anyone but him. He has made an incredible number of major blunders so far. Personally, I'm hoping for a president that will be honest, effective and work dilligently to represent the interests of the United States while improving relationships with other countries. I haven't seen it in my lifetime. Maybe someday I will. But I know it didn't happen in the Clinton era or either of the Bush presidencies. Perhaps it is time for something entirely different.

If you have a support network here, it would be easier, but much of what I said still stands. There is a lot to like, but it isn't conducive to a skydiving-oriented lifestyle. No stopping off at the DZ for a quick jump after work.

It is where I grew up. > As a native, you learn to deal. If you get a good job, the salaray can partially offset the cost of living. I also found a job with an easy commute. There are a lot of plusses too. Among the best museums in the entire world. Very multi-cultural. Great ethnic food. Nice change of seasons. Stellar school system where I live. I'm still bitter about the distance to the DZs though.
-
I live just outside DC. Want the run-down: High cost of living. Astronomical housing prices. Heavy traffic. Nearest DZ is about 2 hours away. The 5 nearest DZs are all fairly small 1-plane operations.

That is fairly common. But by careful fiscal planning, you can build up a large balance, a huge credit limit and a stellar credit rating that will take you far in life.

Contrary to popular belief, foreplay is definitely within the guy code. Think of it like this.... Sex is like a bank account. If you just jump on in and get right to the nasty and take care of only your needs, you just withdrew your money and closed the account. Now, foreplay is like a deposit. You put a little in. It isn't difficult. Then it earns some interest. You can make your withdrawal and still have something left in the account. It will continue to earn and you can make another withdrawal. In the long run, you can make many more withdrawals by putting a tiny bit back in and letting the interest compound. Does that make sense now? I'm a firm believer in making sure there is always at least one deposit before any withdrawal. Sorry Casie, but I'm still off the market.

No, no no! That is well within the guy code. You see, he offered cuddling. Chick point. It sounds sensitive. Another chick point. If it works, and he ends up cuddling, that is in bed with a woman he isn't in bed with now, and a chance to move further. I'm sure it is all part of his master plan, and totally allowed. Don't pay any attention to me folks. Carry on with your offerings of casual sex, which Turtlespeed and I dissect them for merit and guy-code violations.

There is nothing wrong with a bed buddy, as long as you are honest from the beginning. Then it gets complicated. Are things reciprocal? Are you available when he wants it? It starts sounding like a relationship of sorts. But all that aside, honesty is definitely the key. And my wife would be happy to see me report, "Sorry. I'm already taken." But good luck and be safe.

Why worry about the budget, or our country's reputation, or anything of any lasting importance? By the time everyone figures out that our policies have been horrible, some other slob will be in office and our children will have to pay for everything. So, sure, cut taxes, increase spending and start some wars. GREAT PLAN!

My backgrounds rotate, but here is mine at the moment.

I don't smoke, so I don't cost the company "smoke breaks". Plus I don't spend half my day hacking up my lungs in fits that resemble seizures and leave me unable to type. So I figure my postwhoring, copying, and e-mail is actually saving the company money over them hiring a smoker, or my picking up the habit, which would be within my rights. And that is just one example. If I have to, I can show a ROI for myself that will prove how I singlehandedly contribute the vast majority of our company's earnings.

Well.... at least I don't play online games.

Idiot. You don't get the free plane until you retire, when they give it to you as a going away present. Didn't you read the script?

No Remster, those are not designed to be insertable, so cancel your order now.
