Do I own either of those? *scratches head in confusion* Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

I'm personally waiting for all those who said they had stocked up to get together and send me a "care package!" Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

And I won't even make you buy for being the first entry either! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

EXCELLENT!!

*I have an egg poacher. *I have eggs. *I have english muffins. *I have regular bacon. *I have hollandaise sauce. What I don't have is someone to cook for. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Go with fried or scrambled. They're easiest to make. In the scrambled, you can always throw some stuff in there!

Remember, it's not the quality of the photograph, but the quality of the moment! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

I love holidays. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Any reason to give my honey something.

I love it when my honey sings. He sings along in the truck a good bit. He won't sing TO me because he gets embarrassed too easily. I recently sent a picture of his guitar to him. It said, "Remember me? I've heard that girls just LOVE it when you serenade them!" Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

That's a WONDERFUL idea! I've never seen myself while I'm smelling them, but I'm sure the look on my face is quite joyous!

There was a report on the local news last week that home burglaries have gone WAY up in the last few months in a city right next to me. So the city police (in the city I live in) are teaming up with them and the Sheriff's department to try and combat the problem. As prices of everything continue to go up, I have no doubt that the number of burglaries will too. I wouldn't really want to shoot someone, but if it came down to me or them? I'll do what I have to.

No, you can't use that pic. But you are more than welcome to go out into the world and take another one of something. One of my favorite things to do is to go to Sam's and "stop and smell the roses" literally! Mmmm.....they have the best smelling flowers ever! But better would be catching someone ELSE enjoying those same roses (and not your honey)! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

I'm glad you like the idea. I hope to see many creative entries!

I guess I was was a bit upset with him. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

I don't consider myself fucked up or insane at all. And personally, I take offense to your insinuations. Up until a few months ago, *I* had never owned a gun either. I'm not some homicidal maniac, looking to shoot someone. I just want some ammo to target shoot at a range. What point is there in owning something you can't use? You started skydiving. You bought gear for yourself, right? And the need/desire to have more and more gear can sometimes be overwhelming. But what if one day, you couldn't acquire the gear that you wanted/needed. You would complain and gripe to anyone who would listen to you. And eventually, you just gave up trying to find what you wanted/needed and quit skydiving. And if you quit skydiving, would you keep your gear? Let's say that you own some tiny little elliptical canopy. Fine for you, but what about that 50 jump newbie who managed to "get their hands on it?" And jumped it. And died from some stupid mistake. Is that YOUR fault for selling it?

We've all had those moments when we've been presented with the opportunity to "stop and smell the roses." An "aaahhh" moment. An experience to see, hear or taste something new or unusual. Did we stop? Or did we rush on by? Now is your chance to actually stop and take a moment to enjoy and possibly even broaden your horizons! For one week, from now until 12:01 a.m. CST, Tuesday, February 3, 2009, I want you to actually stop. Enjoy an experience. And share it with the group. It doesn't have to be "smelling roses" per se. Just some different, weird or new thing that you might not have otherwise stopped for. In order to prevent folks from just "creating moments" just to win the contest, you must take a picture of the moment. And then send the picture and a short paragraph on the experience to me at boinky10 at yahoo.com. This isn't about expert photography. This is about experiencing life instead of just plodding through it. Any quality of photos will work, as long as they are bright enough to see the "moment." Shots by both fine cameras or phone cameras will be allowed. Experienced or professional photographers must not use their "work" pieces, but must also find random moments to use. Please limit your picture size to 1 mb. To make the experience fair to all, the "moments" can't be of your personal family or pets. You usually have to be there for those moments anyway. Plus, there are those who have chosen not to have one or both. Even though this is a skydiving web site, skydiving shots are not going to be allowed. It's too easy to get those. This is about stepping outside the box and actually looking at the world and what amazing things are going on that we might otherwise miss. I am taking this contest very seriously and request that pornographic or other sexually based "moments" not be submitted. If you submit them anyway, they will NOT be included in the voting thread. There is a limit of two entries per person, so pick your "moments" carefully. If you post more than two, only the first two posted will be judged. To make sure that no one gets any sneak previews of the "moments," please don't post your entries here. They will be considered invalid if you do. Instead, please send all entries to " boinky10 at yahoo.com." Also, there will be a limit of one vote per person. So make sure you are positive of your decision before you vote, as you can't re-vote. After 12:01 a.m. on 2/3/09, I will sort through all of the entries and make a new voting thread. Everyone will then have 24 hours to vote on the moment they feel was the greatest. In case of a tie, a separate "tie-breaker" thread will be started. Only the tied entries will be listed there for a final winning vote. For the winning entry, I will personally pay for two jumps at their favorite dz, up to a $50 limit. The winner must provide the name of the dz of their choice, so that I can call and have the money added to their account. Good luck to you all. And may all of your "roses" smell good!

That's a pretty interesting concept. Would you mind sharing where you got the "plans" for the lightbox? (a pm would be great if you don't want to the idea with the world) These are of a lizard that I "saved" from my cat. Most people would have just tossed it outside and been done with it. But I had it in a cup and decided to take some pictures of it. It reminds me of the lightbox idea you had and would love to make one for myself.

Happy Birthday, oh wonderful bright one!

That was just wrong!! I think you should change your thread title. Your matching title is giving MY matching title a disease! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

The rose picture is gorgeous.

I agree that violin music in such a place might have been a good bit distorted. But just the mere concept and unusual opportunity SHOULD have made more stop and listen for at LEAST a minute or so.

Large rant, there! But I obviously get the point, seeing as I posted the item in the first place.It will be interesting to see how your friends respond. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Maybe you should've humped it instead! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

Never been near a live armadillo. But I've been near possums. Both live and dead. When I was a teenager, my sister had a grudge against someone. My brother, sister and I went out for a ride one night. They found a dead possum. Scraped it up on a plastic bag with a coat hanger. Drove to the girls house and shoved it in their mailbox. I couldn't get near the thing, but I'm guilty of some heavy snickering. I feel guilty now because you KNOW it wasn't the girl that opened that mailbox. It was her parents. And THEY didn't do anything to offend my sister. And another time, my brother managed to catch a live one in our back yard. Somehow, he managed to get it into the house. Needless to say, you could hear my mother scream for miles when she went down to that basement (it was a finished playroom) and that possum "smiled" at her with all of those wicked, pointed teeth!
