puppy breath a woman's recently washed hair freshly brewed coffee wild lavender and this one will sound crude, but isn't meant that way...that smell a woman puts off when she's totally turned on...it can be absolutely intoxicating. Makes you want to just rip her clothes off, even if that just isn't possible at the time. Actually, the best smell I can remember was just a hint of perfume on a woman after I'd been out at sea with a bunch of men for a couple months. I just wanted to follow her around, light-headed and all. :-) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I've been using my phone a LOT in the last 3 months. I get 800 anytime, 3000 night & weekend, and unlimited incoming calls. Except when I got stuck in the field at work for a couple weeks straight, that's been plenty. Then again, with free (ok, pre-paid) roaming in 10 states, nationwide long distance, 250 text messages per month, and 10 megs of, um, data transfer or whatever it is, I pay $75/month, which seems to be more than any of my friends.

Ditto. I think it's hilarious how we acclimate to new technologies. 10 years ago I had no problems hooking up with family/friends, even though none of us had cell phones. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I've been living by cell phone for the last 3 months. Just moved into a new house a month ago, got my computer out of my old house a week ago, and turned on a land line the next day. Now I'm wondering why. I no longer own a telephone that plugs into the wall (and don't plan on buying one), so the computer's the only thing hooked up to it. That means right now I'm paying $24/month to AOL and $25/month to Verizon for dial-up access...the same price I'd pay for DSL or cable-based high speed access. I need to upgrade my computer and then ditch the land line and go to cable internet access! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Yep...and we give them a joint birthday party (their birthdays are only a week apart). Here are some pictures from last year...we'll be doing something similar later this week.

Not a comment on you specifically, because I don't know you, but it seems to me to be less disappointing to just appreciate myself for who I am. That doesn't mean I don't hope that "the one" exists out there (in reality there are probably many, many "ones" for each of us), or that I don't hope to cross paths with her someday when the timing is perfect for both of us. It simply means that I'd rather hang my strength and happiness hats on what I have today (myself), than on what I might have at some point in the future. Happy holidays to you as well.

If the drill scenario involved a heavier than air chemical spill, it would be reasonable to send people upstairs and isolate the ventilation. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm not religious and don't care what religion a significant other espouses, however I would likely leave any woman who demanded that I join her religion in order to be with her. That said, changing religions for love seems like a somewhat oxymoronic phrase. A religion is a set of beliefs that a person subscribes to. If the beliefs are so shallow that the person can change them at will, then are they really members of that religion in the first place? If a Christian man is willing to convert to Judaeism in order to marry his lover, was he really a Christian? If a person can switch from believing that Mohammed was the prophet of god to believing that Jesus was the son of god just because they "want to", can they really make the case that they truly believe either of those?

Family - I take them for granted except for the times that I don't (like right this moment). Friends - I don't take for granted. I'm routinely thankful for all my friends do for me, even if all they're doing at the time is living their life somewhere else in the world, ready to answer a phone if I call. Hilarity, absurdity, beauty, and awe. Basically anything that makes me hit the pause button on my life and just appreciate the fact that I'm here. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

I left my brand new camera phone sitting on the tonneau cover of my truck while at a jobsite Saturday. 7 miles away I realized it, turned around, and drove back to the jobsite figuring it couldn't have stayed on there through the relatively rough (offroad) terrain, much less have survived all the corners and the 65 mph once I got on the freeway. After an hour of searching I gave up, chalking it up as a $300 loss. 7 miles closer to home, I saw something sitting in the middle of the oncoming freeway lane right where I had turned around...it was my phone battery. The phone itself was laying in the opposite ditch, flipped open and slightly chewed up, but when I held the battery against it, it turned on. I had to go buy a leather case to hold the battery to the phone, but $15 is much better than $300. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Well truth be told I would love to be a guy for a day just to see how great a blow job really is. Depends on who's giving it. They range from being a poor and slightly painful form of foreplay to being a mind-boggling quasi-religious experience. :-) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

The higher end burton's are nice, but the cheapos are, well, cheap. Heel lift sucks. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

With all this drinkin' goin' on, shouldn't we be in the pub? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I finished with beer earlier and have graduated on to wine. The bitch is I had an emergency task come through on my contract and have to be up at 4:30 tomorrow to do completely unfamiliar work for people I've never worked with. This'll teach 'em to ask me to work a Saturday! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Outside is my first option, but rarely available, so I usually end up doing the superman. As for all you women wanting to make use of it, you're only getting half the equation. You did notice the question referenced an urgent need to pee...do you really want to make use of the wood given that circumstance? Now remove that part, and I'm all over it. There is no better way to wake up than with morning wood, no need to pee, and someone to share it with. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm extremely jealous of your jump numbers. I lie awake nights plotting how I can get them... You can have my jump numbers, provided I get to keep the memories of the jumps. :-) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Alright, I'm in. One of just me, one of my daughter and I. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Sort of/pretty much. In the physician's case, he has a moral duty to the man, and his moral duty to the others does not allow him to break that. In the train case, the person (me) has a moral duty first to any passengers on the train. He is compelled to kill the 10 people if it will prevent the car they're riding in from derailing. If no passengers are involved, his duty is to life in general with no particular bias toward either side of the tracks, therefore killing the one and saving the 10 is the better choice. Another difference has already been alluded to, that being the difference in cause of death. In the train case, people will die as a result of actions taken by the transit authority...you have to pick which one(s). In the hospital scenario, people will die as a result of their illnesses/injuries, not any action taken by hospital staff (unless the physician decides to harvest the tissue regardless of the fact that it's not in that person's best interests). Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Why not? In the other thread you were willing to kill on person to save ten. What's the difference? There are several reasons, but the most compelling is the nature of the physician-patient relationship. I'm not talking about lawsuits, but rather the simple moral duty a doctor assumes when he swears to "first, do no harm." In the train accident scenario, an active choice had to be made by a person who had no moral duty to either side of the tracks. In such a situation, the good of the many outweighs the good of the one. In this case, the doctor has no active choice to make. His moral duty is to his patient and he has no ethical obligation (nor right) to consider the good of the many. That said, there are cases in which a doctor does need to weigh one versus many, triage being the most obvious. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

No. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

If I have reason to believe the train contains passengers I kill the ten workers on the main line. If I suspect it's empty, I flip the switch. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Yes you are. If my boredom at work continues, this could be a loooong story. And i've got plenty more ideas for other dzcommers. So if you aint in the story yet, don't worry.... So work got more interesting? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

A good friend of mine, while retreiving his license, registration, and proof of insurance, makes a point of informing the officer ("just to avoid any surprises") of his concealed weapon permit and the location of all guns in the vehicle. Every single time the cop directs his attention to that, checks out the guns, runs the permit, and then once he's satisfied that everything is on the up & up, tells my friend to slow it down. This has worked for him like 4 or 5 times in a row now. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
