  3. As usual, it seems that I will be the odd one out on most things: Lifestyle options: Smoke? Yes. About a half a pack a day is the high average. Unless my home has been broken into and then I'm chain smoking. Alcohol? I rarely drink. I'm too much of a control freak. When I do drink, however, it is straight shots of Wild Turkey until I'm drunk, drunk, drunk. That's maybe three or four times a year. I do drink wine about once a month. A bottle of champagne every year on my anniversary as well. Drugs? (not just narcotics... but also over the counter meds like tylenol or ibuprofen) I take prescription medications for migraines when I get them. I take allergy medication every day and one other medication every day for narcolepsy. I almost never take OTC meds. I can't take any OTC pain killers other than Tylenol. I have been known to take a benadryl on occasion. Nasty colds in the wintertime call for NyQuil. In my sordid past, you name the illegal substance and I've done it. Some of them I've done a lot of. I don't use any illegal substances anymore and I haven't for years. Obsity? (BMI under 25?) My BMI depends on what freakin website I'm using at the time. Apparently it's between 24.8 and 26.6. I could definitely stand to loose some pounds but I am fairly certain that this calculator dosen't adjust for muscle. Diet? Oh boy. Well, um... I have never been a big fan of veggies so that's always limited my food options. After many years of illness, I was finally diagnosed with Celiac Sprue disease (gluten intolerance) so my food pyramid is essentially a food stick. I survive on mainly salami, cheese and fruit. If I'm feelin' frisky, I'll shake things up with some potatoes or some rice pasta. Oooohhh!!! Vitamins? See above. I'd likely be dead if I didn't. Exercise? (3-5x/wk) I walk to the store to get cigarettes. I also try to do ballet a minimum of three times a week but it has slacked since my husband broke his toe. Yes. I was teaching him ballet. He's man enough to take it. It was also starting to fix a problem that two spinal surgeries couldn't fix. So there. Prevention of infections/injury (ie.... using protection to prevent STD or helmets on motorcycles or living in a safe padded room) I don't use condoms because I've been married for almost ten years. When I was single, though, I was absolutely adamant about that. I've ridden on a motorcycle once in my entire life and that was in the neighbors field and I was 4 or 5. He crashed it. I've never been on one since and likely will never again. I don't live in a padded room but probably should. Preventive care measures: Appropriate vaccinations? Define 'appropriate'. Yes. I'm one of *those* people. I haven't had a vaccination type thing since I was 16 and had to get a tetanus shot in the ER. That was almost twenty years ago. I will be traveling to the Mid East in the near future and will get shot up with all kinds of crap but, other than that, I see no reason for any immunizations for someone of my age, lifestyle, geographic location, etc. Prevention or managment of cardiovascular risks Blood pressure and/or cholesterol screening? Blood pressure screening comes standard with every doctor visit. My blood pressure averages in the 80-90 over 50-60 range. Appropriate cancer screening: Females - recent pap? If over 40, recent Mammogram? Yup and I had my first mammogram when I was 28. Males - prostate screening? Does not apply but I will be yammering at my husband about this when his time is due. All - if over 50, colonscopy? Due to the fun and joy of the five year process of getting diagnosed with Celiac Sprue, I have had two colonoscopies and two endoscopies. Yay me. Obviously, I could live a healthier lifestyle. Obviously. I was just visiting my doctor on Wednesday and we had a conversation about patients helping the doctors. While she doesn't agree with a lot of the things I choose, and have chosen, to do - she is grateful that I have told her all about them. From her point of view, not telling your doctor that you smoke half a pack a day is detrimental to your health. I stay healthy because I'm honest with myself and my doctors. I donated a kidney to my mom and spent two days in the hospital having every test they could think of run on me to make sure that I was the best kidney and kidney donor for her. The doctors, psychologists, social workers, psychaiatrists, nurses, etc. were all very shocked at my openness about myself and, especially, my past. It's the flip side of people that go to the doctor and pretend to be angels. If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.
  4. As I just found out, the easiest way to get a copy is to have someone lose a truckload of computer data tapes with your personal information stored on them. Then you can get free reports from each of the big three (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion). You can also get free reports if you've been turned down for credit of any kind in the past 30 days. I did the Free Credit Reports thing years ago and I don't remember if it had a FICO score or not. I do remember that it was a pain in the ass to convince them that, no, seriously, CANCEL my membership. Just remember, every single time your credit history is pulled up - depending on how it is done - your score goes down. If you have access to a mortgage broker who is civilized and not sleazy, ask him or her to do it. They always know how to do it where it won't hit your score and get the FICO as well. If I remember correctly, they can look at your FICO without having to pull your credit history. If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.
  5. I'll be here in Seattle. Unfortunately. We'll go out - fuck dinner - we'll go out and start a good ol' fashioned bar brawl. The kind where we get two people going and then stand back and watch them go at it. You game? I know some real shithole bars in this town. If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.

  7. I believe that no one should get an iPhone until all of the other less expensive phones have been purchased from the store. Those who purchase iPhones are seeking to do me harm. (does that help?) [edited because I felt like it] If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.
  8. I think if I told you the specifics of what we did I could get busted for telling you how to make a bomb. Again - it was a complete accident. We had no idea we were going to blow things up. It was on Halloween night and thankfully there were no children on the porch when it happened. If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.
  9. The entirety of a post that was made by ZigZagMarquis in the Women's forum a few minutes ago. Some were questioning the validity of his statements being made there and not in this forum and recommending that the discussion be moved to this area. My response to one of those people is the quote in the begining of his post below: ****************************** Regarding 'punching me with my own fist' I think I can get away with saying that you are trying to punch me with my own fist due to the fact that you had previously taken my own words out of context, misquoted them as well, and used them as a way to somehow imply that I was wrong, whining, or whatever other word you want to use. Oh for fuck's sake... I wasn't trying to convince anyone of anything. I was merely stating FACTS and then inserted my opinion. If you were to look at the history of why that thread was started in the first place, the thread it evolved out of and the private messages I received where people were asking me about what had happened and what the current state of things were, it might be clearer. I don't need to convince anyone here of anything. My battle with 'the system' and all those involved is so very, very different than me sharing a story and venting anger on a web forum. I have read every single word you have written. I have read your words two and, sometimes, three times before replying to them. I think that maybe you are more trying to say that I don't agree with you rather than I don't listen to you. Not changing my mind about something is very different than not listening to another's opinion about something. Here, I couldn't agree with you more. I am not physically hurt, my husband is not physically hurt, my dogs are not physically hurt. The cat could give a shit... My dining room window and the storm window that was covering it are gone. The items that were on the ledge below the window are destroyed and three of them had incredible sentimental value to me and all three were unique items and can not be replaced. It sucks but I don't care in the end. It's just stuff. That's all. Asshat could have burnt the house down or blown it off its foundation and I would not care as long as everything with a pulse was unharmed. Tough shit, get over it? I will. Eventually. The fact that you say this to me is just strange... Life isn't fair. I've not requested any different since I was about 8 years old or so. If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.
  10. I can tell you that dry ice explodes... I don't recommend trying it. I found out by accident. We had to have part of the front porch replaced... If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.
  11. Oh! And don't forget Tron!!! If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.
  12. Pick up pretty much anything that The Asylum makes. The guy who runs the company, David Latt, has coined the term "Mockbuster". Every thing they make is schlock and they are aware of it (or, at least, David is). They also make sure that the titles of all of their movies will place them next to ones that you would actually want to see. My favoirtes are 'Snakes on a Train', 'Da Vinci Treasure' and 'Transmorphers'. Netflix has the majority of their films. Their website is http://www.theasylum.cc/ where you can see a preview of their latest venture 'Sunday School Musical'. **Disclaimer - I do have a vested interest in this company** If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.
  13. Alright - "Everybody's do-oh-ing a brand new dance now.... Come on baby! Do the Locomotion!" We can go all day on this game!!!! BRING IT ON!!! If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.
  14. I'm not sure what your issue is with me and with all of this but it seems like you have a pretty major one. Care to elaborate? There is a difference between making a statement, asking questions and whining, I believe. I also believe that at no point was I whining. To get technical and personal and open up a bit of my personal privacy to you - in all of this I have shed tears only one time. I'm not crying about what happened. I'm not whining about what happened. I'm slogging through a system that DOES NOT WORK and trying to make sense where there is none and I am mad as hell. If you don't understand the dichotomy between whining and anger then maybe we need to start another thread to sort that out. Pointing out that a non-violent, first time offender stays in jail while a violent, repeat offender is released on a signature and I am told it is because of overcrowding is not whining. It is pointing out a huge disparity in the legal system. Perhaps it is because this is the written word and we can't have this conversation face to face that you think I am whining. Perhaps, and good god I hope this isn't true, you think I'm whining because I'm female...? I don't know. You did mention in the other thread in the Women Only section - and even posted a link to the Remington website - the weapon you would have used to dispach Asshat. (the post has since been removed because the link was inappropriate for that section). Do you have a problem with me because I didn't shoot him and you think that my desire to see justice done by the legal 'system' constitutes whining? Now that this discussion is taking place in a forum that it is appropriate to bring up such things, let me tell you this: I did not shoot Asshat because I did not have a gun. I did not have a gun because my husband has always been uncomfortable with the idea of having a gun in the house and I respect that - I understand that a gun around someone who is uncomfortable with one is a very dangerous situation. I respect my husband and his wishes and feelings about firearms. We were raised very differently and he never once had a firearm in his hand until my father placed one in it to teach him how to handle one. I grew up with guns in the house, knowing where all of them were and how and when to use them. When I lived alone, I had a gun in my home at all times. This changed when my husband and I began to live together out of my respect for his feelings. I guaran-fucking-tee you that if I had had a gun in my hand in the wee hours of Sunday morning, I would have shot that motherfucker without a moment's hesitation. Period. If I had killed him, it would have been an accident, but I would have shot him. Having never shot anyone in my entire life, I can't tell you how I would have felt later that day, but I can tell you that even now, I wish I had had a gun. Does regret equal whining? I hope not. If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.

    Cat Question

    I totally agree with you. The way the Snappy Trainers work is that you set them up - like a mouse trap - and put them wherever you need like the shelf or the counter, etc. When the cat jumps up there, the cat sets off the Snappy Trainer, not you. I like them because you don't have to be around to catch them in the act. Cats are smart enough to wait until you're gone to do these sorts of things. Essentially your plants, counters, fish tank, etc. are fighting back. If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.
  20. YOU BASTARD!!!!! Do you know me or something?!? How could you possibly know that I hate that song with every cell in my body and that it will rot my brain for days now. I'm going to get you back. I swear. No matter how long it takes... If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.
  21. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for ensuring that Thriller will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Thanks. So very much. If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.

    Cat Question

    Not every cat hates foil. Weird people have weird cats, I guess... Snappy Trainers. I'm tellin' ya! Those things work!!! http://www.snappytrainer.com/ They have a video there but it doesn't really do the product justice. It makes a very loud sound and flies through the air and is bright red which is a color that cats can see well. Even though the core of the product is a mouse trap, it's made in such a way that your can (or yourself) can not get injured by it. They will scare the crap out of you. If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.
  23. The reasoning is faulty, for certain. ALL reasoning is faulty. It's faulty because human beings and all of their experiences and thoughts and opinions are involved. That's basic Sociology 101 stuff. The point was that the pettiest of petty criminals get parked in jail and a person accused of multiple crimes of violence walks free and the 'justification' I was given was "overcrowding". I assumed that he was armed. I thought that he was. Remember me mentioning the yelling and then the two loud bangs? I did believe that, when he was facing me coming over the fence towards me, he was armed. I also believed at that moment that he had caused some sort of serious physical harm to my husband. Am I SURE I could have pulled the trigger? You bet your ass I could - and would - have. I remember at that moment screaming to myself in my head "GODDAMNIT WHY DON'T I HAVE A FUCKING GUN?!?!" And to clarify what transpired in the PM conversation with regards to weapons. He wrote "a weapon you don't know how to use belongs to your enemy." I know very well how to use several different kinds of guns. Hell, I even got the opportunity to shoot a flame thrower this summer. Now if only my house was't wooden... If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you. **************************** Be like the cupcake and suck it up.
