God, I am so bored, I'm even replying to a beer post. I drink Guinness only. About six times a year. But in 2005, I didn't drink, so I guess I need to double my quota for 2006. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

No advice. But a bit of experience. I've managed several thousand real estate transactions in my time (in New Jersey, real estate closings are managed by attorneys, i.e., by their real estate paralegals). A better offer is going to come along. Soon. I know that doesn't help with the plans you've already made, but you will get a better offer and everything will go smoothly. Hang in there. rl Edited to add: Depending on where you are in the process, their deposit may be forfeit. Check with an attorney.

Blue skies, puffy white clouds and moderate winds (two out of three ain't bad--but you had to be there the day a wild 70 mph gust took out the packing hangar) are exactly the reason I moved to Florida. I often disagree with people I like and agree with people I don't. Most of them don't take it so personally or as being a form of stalking. I don't stalk people I don't like...I save that for those with whom I am totally and hopelessly enchanted and enamored. But for the purpose of debate, I look for interesting topics to discuss without too much regard for who is discussing them. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

Now the world really is perfect. Shortly after all this happened, the newspaper business office pissed me off. They stopped billing my credit card in October, and then waited two months to send me a bill. (No, I never noticed.) When I called, I was told that the card had expired (no it didn't) and that they had tried and failed to reach me by phone (cell phone with caller id). So, I paid the final bill and added a $20 tip for $50 of newspaper deliveries. My conscience is clear, and I now have an extra hour every day to spend here. rl Edited to add: I only dug up this stupid post because you guys are boring me to death.

I have great faith in your ability to do this, Kevin.

Yes. I don't need to know how someone will act in a wide array of situations if the only situation in which I know him is one in which he behaves badly.

Your neighbors deserve to have that D.U.I. kid punished in a meaningful way, You don't mean a "meaningful" way. You mean in an official way. It's a funny thing about teenagers. They do a whole lot better with some kindness and limits than they do with terror tactics. Our society has grown too large for it to work in most places, but this is still done in small towns. It certainly turned out better citizens in the small community in which I grew up than I see growing up in the larger towns I've lived in since. All the legal system does is make kids grow up hating and fearing authority. A kindly neighbor who lets a kid off the hook for a youthful mistake while still requiring a logical consequence has done a public service. I hope for you that if you ever make a mistake, someone shows you mercy, but I'm inclined to think that if they do, you'll just laugh about how you got over. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

The last time I saw someone make an "argument" like this was right after the Columbia tragedy. A whole bunch of real ignorant folks proposed a whole bunch of MacGuyver type rescues, some of which featured duct tape. Why don't you consider the fact that the miners have unions to represent them in obtaining the safety equipment they believe they need, and that the industry is pretty well-regulated by now so that the appropriate safety precautions are in place. With that postulated, shit happens. People die in disasters, small and large, every day. Why are you arguing with people who actually know what they're talking about? Sometimes people just die. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

I made no such analogy. I stopped with my analogy at the point where the whipped cream was sprayed on her ass. Please do not attribute things to me that I haven't said. What you said is: What he's doing is simulating a complete stranger fucking you in the ass and shooting his cum all over you - in front of an audience. So the leap here is that having simulated all this, when he licks off the simulated cum it magically turns back into whipped cream? Cool. Do I protest when I'm bashed? That's very naughty of me. Please provide me with some recent examples so I know what you're talking about. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

I'm yours, baby. Damn, I should have used the tang line along time ago.

I don't recall that any part of this discussion (up to now) included a protesting participant. So how did that get in there? I made no such connection. I wasn't even the first one to bring up the crack-whore thing. You didn't bring up the "crack whore" thing, but you tried to make it sound like a rational argument. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

You bring out the point that has been clouded since this discussion began in the stripper thread. If a "crime" has been committed, but no report has been made to the police, the victim can do whatever he or she wants to do. Once the "crime" has been reported, however, there isn't much the victim can do except to recant, which is to say, take the blame for another kind of crime on him/herself. Edited to add: The exception to this is when the victim actually brings the complaint rather than the complaint being brought by the police. This happens in certain kinds of everyday disputes that do not involve violence or evidence of violence, and are more of a "he said/she said, he did/she did" sort of thing. As for the discussion of domestic violence up above, you can throw all the chairs you want, but if your neighbors hear the noise and call 911, or if your wife or children make a complaint, you're going to have to deal with the legal system. You may believe you are sovereign in your own home, but your family has rights too, and their right not to be terrorized by a raving and/or violent parent or spouse trumps your right to rave or be violent. That's not a bad thing. rl If you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from. Gullah Proverb

Which explains precisely why I cannot understand how the self-called "fuddy duddy" came up with this bizarre explanation for the whipped cream.
