Still touching your elf? Thought so, Mr. Pervy McPervington. Today’s model is from Bay City, Michigan and like a few of our Hostagettes, she doesn’t mind showing a headlight now and again. Her hobbies include reading (see below), attending Detroit’s symphony, and hard core pornography. Please give a greased palm welcome to Bella Blaze!!!

Well. This is just simply awesome.
I have a few errands to run. Please keep the savaging of today’s model to multi-syllalbe words.
That doesn’t look like Jane Austen.
Haha, nice work, MJ!
I LOL’ed at the Paris link 😀
A bovine bonanza of boobage!
Hi Rich.
The stereo faceplant has grown well.
I watched Emma from my couch earlier. In honor. Actually, I had my daughter put in the DVD and I kinda slept through it. I listened to most of it, because teh actually sleep eluded me.
Wow, Chief’s little “friend” is so filled with union propaganda, it really is hopeless.
Car in, flu or food poisoning?
WHile I was lying there on the couch – helpless, I may add – I saw a bunch of those MSNBC commercials where Chrissy Matthews and that horrible gay woman advocate that we need to all pay our fair share and bunk like that.
It was truly amazing.
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw9my5jQHE1qzrlhgo1_400.gif
It’s either a Jedi mind trick or Ewan McGregor’s man-stink.
I’m gonna guess food poisoning.
I still feel crappy, but if it were the flu I think I’d still be in a downward spiral. Earlier, I couldn’t even sit at the computer.
Protip: If you switch over to FNC, they don’t run many of those commercials.
Excellent linkage MJ.
*golf clap*
Well done sir.
Right now, my massive headache may be my lack of coffee. I just drank some hot tea to see if that stays down.
Then I’ll move on to a cup of joe.
I wasn’t matching MSNBC. I was watching TBS or something.
I don’t watch fox during the day at all. There is a segment at 2 that is ok, but otherwise the 6 pm news is the only time I watch it.
Nice beaver.
This girl is obviously very smart. I can tell because she has nice boobs.
GMLand, if I call you Dirty Guy, I mean it in a nice way, okay?
Then you have to spell it “Durrty”, Roamy 😉
Thanks Roamy! 😉
Heh, true, Aggie.
Carin – Here is something I discovered; Almost everyone I went to school with that stayed in that little town is a government employee and belongs to a union. It is New Jersey, after all. They’ve been on the teat for 40 years. Now, it’s the only thing they know.
How she could condone that kind of violence is beyond me.
*does the finger pointy thing to my eyes, then to Aggie*
Gee, Ed Morrissey is praising Ace on his ustream show
Chief, I considered wading into that, but I decided it was pointless. Union people are brainwashed. Plus BiW said it way better than I could.
*gives GML a shot of Maker’s Mark…. in the arm….by syringe*
I waded in there as well HS, and then felt stupid afterward once Biw posted his comments. Mine were just stupid comments to piss her off as much as she pissed me off.
Yeah, BiW is a good guy for our side. I try to maintain, as I grew up with these folks and have many fond memories of them.
But, I’m thinking a, “Are you fucking insane?!” may be due.
Ouch. *tenderly cups own boobies and whispers “I’ll never do that to you”*
Quick! Car in! What’s your favorite Violent Femmes song?
No, Guy, I thought your comments were fine. Typical liberal doublespeak from her though – they always take the position that name calling doesn’t win an argument, as they call you an asshole, or a nazi, or some other “name.”
And I understand Chief’s point that he wants to maintain some manner of cordiality with his old classmates.
Peel – Need me to hold those for you?
I must’ve missed a thread…..
Peel – Need me to hold those for you?
After all, what are friends for if not support?
For every hard-working union worker, there are two or three shiftless pieces of shit. Unions support mediocrity.
It’s funny, because my husband’s partner – his mom is really pro-union. Her husband worked for the UAW or whatever, and she’s rich because he never spent at dime. Anyway, she was complaining to her son (george) about what the guy was charging to cut her lawn and he (lol) went off about how he was just trying to earn a “living wage” etc… and that she shouldn’t try to beat down the price, etc.
She just got pissed at him.
Blister in the Sun
Hmm. Makes sense.
This actually confirms that you are my older sister, before she went nuts. The fact that we’ve met, does not disprove my theory.
My mom used to work with a bunch of union folks – she was a nurse, brought in to detect fraud in health insurance claims. Anyway, all the people overseeing auto policies were also members of the UAW. She said everyday, as “their shows” came on, they’d stop working, pull out a portable tv, and start snacking on chips.
It was unbelievable. She once complained because she couldn’t hear over the phone because the tv was too loud and got reprimanded. They hated her, because – silly her – had this idea that being at work meant you WORKED.
>> *gives GML a shot of Maker’s Mark…. in the arm….by syringe*
ME!
>> Blister in the Sun
I’ve covered that.
Carin – It is that union mentality that stops me from moving to Michigan.
Dave’s career is OVER.
Ha. Violent Femmes came out when I was maybe a sophomore in high school? I hadn’t gone full -alt then. Everyone liked the femmes- or at least everyone i hung out with. That’s the first song of theirs that popped into my head. I think I preferred Kiss off. Gone daddy gone.
add it up. That was the soundtrack of early high school.
Ugh. I used to hang out with a bunch of union types in IN. Drove me up the wall. They stuck the steel mills with unsustainable expenses, then bitched when the mills closed up and moved.
The full punk scene was a tad before me. I remember all the total hard core punk people when I was a freshman. I don’t mean the posers, wearing a ton of make up. The HARD core, that started it before it gained popularity. They looked like Sid and Nancy.
They always scared me. LOL.
Eh. I don’t see it too much out here in Lapeer. Sure, there are union folks. But there are a lot fewer union employees over all.
I seriously need to consider rereading Sense and SensibilOMGLOOKATTHATBODYOMFG!!!!!

And my brain wants is gonna sell my ass to you.
Now I’m ok, but in time I find I’m stuck.

See, I think drugs have done some good things for us …. i really do. And If you don’t believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor? Go home tonight, take all your albums, all your tapes,and all your CDs, and BURN em. Because you know what, the musicians that made all that great music that has enhanced your life throughout the years? Real fucking high on drugs.
I was in England in ’79 and Cambridge had SERIOUS punks. Doc Martens and bad attitudes.
Your hands are too big, Chief.
We generally liked it, xbrad. Will suspects that Finch has a doctor on call somewhere who will handle stuff, no questions asked. I was a little annoyed by last week’s Evil Military Stereotype (TM), and now they’re bringing in the Evil CIA Stereotype. But the show is good enough that I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt for now.
Wiser, quite stealing Cranky’s schtick.

Wiser, quite stealing Cranky’s schtick.
Well, he’s not using it anymore…..
I intend to take my schtick with me when I go.
Afghan Whigs were big in Cincinnati when I was at Miami. People used to all go see ’em – before they hit big. They probably played in Oxford a lot.
Barry Manilow? Snorts coke off 19th century, Empire era mirrors.
Wayne Newton has never once enhanced my life.
I caught ’em at U of I so they must have still been working the college circuit in the mid 90s.
That bit up there is the opening part of my favorite EVER tool song – Third Eye. It’s a 13:47 min song, so it doesn’t get a ton of airplay.
Wayne Newton has never once enhanced my life.
excuse me??!?!?!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkvrxhrcJbA
Yeah, the Evil Military Stereotype always pisses me off. But the Evil CIA type doesn’t, for some reason.
I guess you have to have some villain. And I suspect those guys will be revealed to just be stooges who truly believe Reese has gone off the reservation. Some high muckety-muck will be the guy really pulling the strings.
BTW, has anybody been watching Heartland? I saw the pilot, but haven’t followed it.
I enjoyed that scene despite Wayne. Not because of him.

For the longest time growing up, I thought that song was sung by a woman –
Shock of my life to find out a dude sang it.
Until I saw the “dude”…..
Scott sold it to Manilow. The mirror, of course.
One of the best scenes in movies – EVAH!
Even if they are just stooges, xbrad, was…*tries to avoid spoilers* what they did to Reese really necessary? I would think their orders would be to simply bring him in.
…I wonder just how connected Elias really is…
For Car in –
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKCsJuGOV4Q
XB, I thought last night’s POI was very good. I do wonder though about what happens next. Why were those “CIA”: guys trying to do him in? Will he survive his wounds? Almost seemed like the characters were “riding off into the sunset” didn’t it?
Liberace was an early pioneer of ecstasy use. Think about it.
He’ll survive.
I think they probably had orders to either bring him in, or off him. Either way, someone wants him dead. He probably knows something he’s not supposed to.
He can’t die. His number hasn’t come up.
And if I’d had Mrs. Peel for S/S, I would have gotten her this:

Gary Shandling? I didn’t know he was a musician too…..
The Beatles were totally sober when they wrote and recorded “The White Album”.
I mean, it’s undeniable that some great music has been produced with the addition of drugs. But I wonder if they could have done it w/o the drugs or if it may have even been better.
Also, there are a lot of strung-out no-good artists, for whom the drugs make ’em a shitload worse. Scott Wyland. That chick that died this year – she destroyed her career with drugs.

Whoever makes a Michelle Obama joke is a dick. Really, that would be totally uncool.
Imagine a brick wall, Jay. Now imagine 10-12 vodka tonics.
No need to imagine. I was there to see Andy stamp through to get a fresh drink.
I would guess that overall it’s a net positive. Creativity and drug use has gone hand in hand for a very, very long time.
So, here in my town, we have recently decided to spend $250million to renovate the two high schools. On top of that, we are spending another $5mil to add a wing to one of the elementary schools.
One of the headlines in today’s paper was a quote by the superintendent of schools (who is a former mayor who ran on the Republican ticket, only to switch parties while in office… fucker…) wherein he says that if the city doesn’t come up with approx. $5million to cover the school’s budget gap, they will probably have to close one of the elementary schools in town.
Here is my letter to the editor of our local paper:
Regarding School Superintendent Benigni’s current difficulties in
finding the money to close the estimated $4.8million budget gap,
here’s a thought (and I’m just spit-balling here….): How about we
scale back the $250million high school renovation projects just a tad
to help make up for that budget gap?
I can almost guarantee the board could find something to cut from
those extravagant projects that would easily cover that.
In fact, considering the fact that we are building a brand new wing
onto Hanover school for only a mere $5million or so, I’m sure the
$250million renovation plans for the two high schools could be scaled
back to such a degree that we could cover a $5million budget gap for
many, many years to come.
But noooooooo…. how dare we take away these obvious vanity projects
from those wonderful Board of Ed members and city politicians who so
desperately want to find a way to put their names on a building
somewhere? That’s more than worth the $250million, don’t you think?
When will the people in this city and this state finally wake up and
realize that we simply do not have this kind of money to throw around
anymore?
And for Dr. Benigni and the BoE finance committee to now come begging (again) to the taxpayers of Meriden for more money, after simply closing last year’s budget gap with one-time-only stimulus money
without planning for the day when that money would no longer be
available to them, shows me that these people should not have anything
to do with the education our children whatsoever.
I may have cost my kids any chance of of scholarship money from the town, huh?
Drugs influenced kids shows.
Gumby had to be an acid induced idea.
Mr. Rogers? Captain Kangaroo?
There are 3000 calories in a half gallon of egg nog.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know who I was thinking of? I mean, whom? And yes, I know his name.
Hope you feel better soon, Carin. Sick + holidays = no fun.
I’m going skin pop some heroin and write a number one hit.
I’ll be right back. . .
In the small municipal school district my mom once taught in, the school board got huge kickbacks when they had big construction projects. Like, the construction company would also build a pool in their backyard, or suddenly they’ve got all new carpet, or…So the motivation for the giant expensive renovation is probably more than just their names.
Drugs influenced kids shows.
ummm… Sid and Marty Kroft??? H.R. PufnStuf???
Geez, they even made what they were doing when they came up with the idea the character’s name!
Peel –
Jagger?
Tyler?
Blondie?
I know who you were talking about.
Peel – Mick Jagger or Steven Tyler?
So the motivation for the giant expensive renovation is probably more than just their names.
Oh, I’m absolutely positive there is crap like that going on, but I am not holding my breath waiting for the local rag to look into that stuff.
I’m just stunned by the sheer arrogance of a guy who is whining for more money after the town has already approved over $250million dollars in renovations for just two buildings.
I bet I could design and build two all new, state-of-the-art high schools for less than a quarter of a billion dollars!
Yea, it could be either.

Perhaps it was.
As I tell my kids – plenty of kids try drugs and then move on to be successful . then there are the other ones.

Never tried any drugs. I’ve had a few sips of alcoholic drinks, but as with coffee, the taste was un-get-beyond-able, and I’ve never been one to attempt to acquire a taste if I don’t already have it. (Well, strawberry margaritas aren’t bad, but I had too much of one once and spent the next couple of hours feeling dizzy and sick. Come to think of it, I think that’s the last time I touched anything alcoholic.)
Mrs. Peel needs one of my special margaritas.

Drinking at a movie theatre? That has HOSTAGES written allllll over it.
I just spent 3 days with the non-drinking members of my family. I made up for it last night.
Atta girl.
It’s great, Cyn – a server comes to your seat (some have swiveling trays, some have tables), they have a nice selection of food, and the newer ones have larger, more comfortable stadium-style seating.
And since the server has to be able to get to your seat, there is PLENTY of leg room.
The clientele tends to be “nicer” (for lack of a better word), too. There aren’t usually a bunch of punk kids hanging outside, either….
Now I have to go check out Movie Tavern. I thought it was just an independent theatre.

Coyotes have returned to our yard.
Now when I let Bubba out I have to watch him carefully and skulk around with a weapon, just in case.
He’s been charged several times.
If I get another dog, it is going to be an Akita-Shephered-Presa Canario cross, and it is going to live in the yard and be trained how to stack dead coyote carcasses in heart-shaped piles to make Mommy happy.
Just got some video of Aaron talking. Unfortunately, it’s 90 MB. Maybe Will can figure out how to compress it.
We had one of our borough LEO shoot one the other day. It had killed a couple of dogs in their yards. Not real dogs, but those little yappy fuckers.
Awwww. A heart warming Christmas classic.

Scott – Sounds like shit to me.
Not talking talking, obviously. The only language he speaks at the moment is Bosh. But he can make a pretty wide variety of sounds, and he “talks” for a long time – he’s been “talking” almost nonstop for about 20 minutes now.
Our next dog http://tinyurl.com/yfom622
Peel, as I understand it, what Aaron’s doing now is called extinction. He’s making every sound he can make to see which ones evoke a response in others. It’s one of the first steps in learning a first language.
MCPO, don’t make me sic my little “yappy fuckers” on you. Or as we call ’em “Coyote Bait 1” and “Coyote Bait 2”.
Peel are you teaching him sign language?
Lauraw, what are Conn. Laws like when it comes to trapping and killing coyotes?
It’s called that because he’ll gradually stop making the sounds that aren’t in your language, and may even lose the ability to make them without effort later, like the “th” sound with Chinese folk.
Not real dogs, but those little yappy fuckers.
Heh. I never thought I’d like those tiny dogs but my dad’s mini dachshund is a fine little gent. Name’s Ralph.
Our former neighbor across the street had one, too. His name was Hercules. Poor Hercules got eaten.
Crazybear – We have friends that built over the mountains. They had a toy Yorkshire terrier. I warned them not to leave her alone outside, as I was certain that a golden or bald eagle was going to snatch her up for lunch.
Coyotes took a Great Dane one town over.
The coyotes we have are not like the the Western coyotes, they are much bigger.
More along the lines of a leggy German Shepherd.
I don’t think you’re allowed to trap them, Oso. I think you are allowed to use poison bait in some areas, and IIRC, licensed hunters can take all they want with no limit.
I’m wrong, hunters can trap them.
Wow. A Great Dane. Eek. One of my housemates in college would trap Coyotes for cash. What can you do to coyotes in your yard that are threatening your pets?
Just checked. No limit on coyotes, and you can hunt them for all but six weeks of the year.

Chief, when we take the doxies out to the park, we always look for coyotes. We can hear them singing at night in the arroyo and have seen them in several parks close by. My hubby saw a fat coyote walk across the golf course one morning.

Sweet dreams.

You. Are. Going. Down.
Toots.
I kind of like coyotes, bobcats, and mountain lions.
Looks like you can hunt coyote with a bow in CT, what are the township rules about archery within city limits? It didn’t mention crossbows.
I tried to scare one off a couple years ago or so with a lawn rake and the thing came at me. Scott ran out of the porch and that’s what made it finally go away. It had been chasing Bubba in zig-zags around the yard.
Previous to meeting that bold one, he always would try to investigate the coyotes and wanted to get out of the porch into the yard if he could see one. They usually fled. Looked like yearlings to me, mostly. Little guys.
Well, this last bastard was BIG. Apparently many of them now sport some Timber Wolf DNA from Canada. So, we’ve got that going for us, which is nice.
That was when Bubba finally clued in on what was going on with these strange unsociable dogs in his yard. I could see the understanding in him. After that he never again wanted to go outside when he could see one through the porch glass.
Those yappy little fuckers are going to begin the Zombie Apocalypse. Indeed, they’ve already started:

Poor Bubba.
It’s called that because he’ll gradually stop making the sounds that aren’t in your language, and may even lose the ability to make them without effort later, like the “th” sound with Chinese folk.
And then he’ll start speaking Klingon…

Nope, you can’t hunt with a crossbow in CT unless you are handicapped.

oh Jesus you have to give him extra lunch money now.
Pupster, they just changed that in MI. Anyone can use a crossbow if they pay $10 for the stamp. We have a glut of deer and a dearth of hunters. That and $10 per hunter is a nice revenue gain.
Pupster the local police who know where we live gave me the green light to shoot them. Off the record they said “shoot them and bury them”.
Worst case they said I would face a disturbing the peace charge.
That is when I bought a gun.
I can safely shoot towards the woods but it’s really tough at night. Night vision scopes are expensive as hell.
Daytime varmints have been eliminated.
Did anybody get stuck in anybody else’s chimney today?
I’m wrong, stamp’s free. Coulda sworn it was 10 bucks.
When the swamp freezes over things may change. Laura’s brother wants to kill some coyotes, and he is a well equipped marine.
Everyone can call the cops, but they can’t get there.
Night vision scopes are expensive as hell.
You should check out ACME products, I hear they are highly effective.

I even know which beaches allow for weekly overnight camping.

Was just thinking about that…turtles are far more likely to be brown, blackish, or tan than they are to be green. It’s funny how they’re always shown as green. Like how alligators are always portrayed as green but they aren’t. They’re dark grey/ blackish.

Evening all.
How’s your Friday, John?
A little more sober than last night, but it’s still early.
Scott, no, I’m not teaching Aaron sign language. For one thing, I don’t know it, and for another, I think teaching little kids sign language prior to spoken language is a bad idea. I get the theory behind it, and it’s nice and all, but the fact is that American Sign Language does not have the same syntax as and has a tremendous poverty of vocabulary compared to Standard Written English. Even people who only sign frequently have to resort to fingerspelling because a word doesn’t have a sign, and many of them don’t know Standard Written English well; you can tell when you run across them on the internet. So teaching kids sign language first is like teaching them Geechee or some other dialect of English first, and as Justice Thomas will tell you, that only handicaps them when they start trying to learn Standard Written English.
Unfortunately, ALL the daycares do sign language now; you can’t get away from it, and they try to get the parents to use it too. I plan on ignoring it completely and encouraging Aaron to use his words.
my youngest kid is home so I’m kinda not here.. not bein rude
*waves hiya at Peelie and even in my broken English she knows I loves her tons*
Roadrunners aren’t 3ft tall and purple either. I was very disappointed.
They’re grumpy little fuckers, tho. So they’ve got that goin’ for them.
Sohos, iffin’ you’re lurking by some chance … Grimm was pretty decent tonight.
Peelio, stick to your guns. You can always teach Aaron some of the signing Scott linked earlier.
So, if anyone is up, would you mind bringing me a drink?
Once my kids were talking, I did some signing with them, finger spelling alphabet stuff. My boys are freaking geniuses. Don’t rule it out Peelio.
Howdy John. The cocktail hour beginneth some time ago. Helpl yourself; it’s free and it don’t cost nuthin’.
I can only really think of ONE sign every American should be able to make, and Aaron’s a little young to learn it.
“Helpl” is another Olde English word by the way. Just for clarification.
No one is ever too young to learn the Sun Devil Pitchfork, Xbrad.
Yeah…. Cyn, baby. That’s not the one I had in mind.
Might wanna reference Hotspurts’ Xmas avatard.
Once my kids were talking, I did some signing with them, finger spelling alphabet stuff
I bolded the important part. The daycares are trying to teach them sign language prior to teaching them spoken language. That’s what I object to.
DO NOT teach him the double hole growler, peelio. He’s WAY too young.
//signs up Cyn for the Wildcats booster club
Thanks, Cyn.
Vodka is flowing.
*passes bottles of vodka and wine around*
So… hope y’all are having a good evening.
Peel, I see my cousins teaching their kids signs and I don’t get it. I had to sign because my dad’s younger brother is deaf. I think it is regressive and can limit language skills.
That’s what I object to.
Yeah, that would not be totally cool. I think I might have started around age 1.5 or 2 with Son#1 and a titch longer with Son#2.
Heh. The second boy did want to talk at all for the longest time and it concerned me a bit. Until I figured out that Son#1 kept telling me why #2 was crying or what he wanted–#2 didn’t HAVE to talk: big brother did the talking FOR him.
Helloooooo, Aggie.
How YOU doin’?
I was under the impressing that the sign language fad was more for a few simple things like “I’m hungry”, “I’m tired” and “I need changing” before babies could talk.
People are teaching kids full-blown sign language before English?
*hums the Bridge on the River Kwai tune.. whistles it actually
Freezer’d, John?
That’s “impression”, of course.
Yeah, freezered Tito’s. Nothing beats it.
How YOU doin’?
I have been better, hence the vodka and wine.
Bad news, or just the day grinding you down?
I think it is just simple stuff like hungry, thirsty, etc., but I still think the emphasis should be on spoken language. I don’t buy the argument that babies get frustrated because they can’t communicate. Trust me, Aaron communicates just fine.
Don’t you know the words to the Colonel Bogey March, Dave?
Hitler
He’s only got one ball
I’m not sure I’d even want to teach the sign for “I’m hungry” or the like before they really get rolling, but that’s after my experience with Son#2. I never considered it a replacement form of communication, but in addition to, like French or Spanish; just building up brain muscles.
Absolut. Absolutely.

Sure does, osito. But I’ll deal. We always do 😉
Between the older siblings speaking for the kids and the kids signing instead of talking it can get annoying. In my family, they start throwing in Spanish too. I can understand what the dogs want better than some of the kids.

It is a slow day in a little Greek Village. The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough. Everybody is in debt. Everybody lives on credit.
On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through the village. He stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in order to pick one to spend the night.
The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.
The guy at the Farmers’ Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the taverna.
The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him “services” on credit.
The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the €100 note.
The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the €100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town.
No one produced anything. No one earned anything. However, the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism. And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the bailout package works!
Fished you outta the bucket Master Chief.

I had a horrible time trying to pass the time yesterday. TV is just so bad. I didn’t want to go to sleep early, because I’d done nothing by lie on the couch all day, but the tv … there is just nothing on. And, of course, our netflex movies didn’t get sent back on Monday like they were supposed to be. If they’re still on the seat of my husband’s car I’m gonna kick his ass.
When they were little, you could get a pile of crap that costs nothing.

You know, here’s the horrible thought my daughter and I shared while shopping the other day. Remember, I acknowledge this is kinda horrible.
But we celebrated that we don’t have to get a gift for my bil’s wife (because she passed) and my half-brother’s wife, because they’re getting divorced.
The one that passed was a horrible person, and difficult to buy for. The sil, well, I didn’t enjoy buying her a gift either.
A clean kitchen is always nice.
I have no idea what to buy a young girl that isn’t clothes.
Sometimes, God gives us chores we do not enjoy, but must endure. There’s no harm in celebrating a lifted burden so long as it doesn’t defame the dead.

You are so easy to shop for.
A clean kitchen is the best thing ever. I do a lot of dishes on a normal day. With me off? oye.
I had sorta cleaned a bit, then my dad came in to make his dinner. He never l cleans up and usually returns plates from his room with dried on food (he likes to take his lunch back to his room with him so he can be on his computer).
Best present so far, Pup, thanks.
Saw that, Car in. I’m pretty sure I prefer the company of someone who’s struggled with weight over someone who hasn’t. Naturally thin people often have this notion that it’s somehow virtue on their part, since it’s so easy for them. Right, because fat is a choice people deliberately make.
Dammit, Ikea doesn’t open until 10. I was going to go there first and price buying the standing desk/box riser, then going to Lowe’s to price the lumber.
F it, building one is better signalling to my office mates.
I just find it obnoxious. Weight issues are very complicated. And articles such as that, imho, support the assertion that being fit is for the rich who can afford the luxury. And for the smart, who know better than to eat bad stuff. It supports stereotypes that the smug like to believe about themselves.
It isn’t helpful.
And, they are always very careful to target the (white) middle class for their scorn.
I’m surprised to find that article at Maggie’s farm, Carin.
Oh, and hai and buy!

Are the thin people paying their fair share?
* occupies McDonalds *
If the white middle class is overweight, it’s because they’re the ones with real, full-time jobs so they have no time to exercise, and eating for convenience for the same reason. They’re being pushed into overweight by a number of factors, and it would take an unrealistic shifting of priorities to change that.
I blame big diet.

MJ, how many martini parties are your neighbors having this weekend?
—————————————–
At least two. I’m guessing they are having a non-breeder weekend. Haters!
How do the Samoans keep from tipping over their island. They are F-A-T.
In 200 years there will only be Samoans, and the people that can out run the Samoans.
Eh, I don’t really care. I’ve just seen the ugly side of recreational drug use.

I had considered this, but decided to type my thought anyway. I probably need to think about more, considering I’m still thinking about it this morning.
WPOS just told me to slow down. Never had that happen before. Perhaps its because I own the thread right now.
*Mare, and what not
Marijuana hasn’t changed anyone I know. They all still have the same lives, jobs, and houses that they had when they started. It stops your life like a you’re a bug caught in amber, except you keep getting older.
One of my friends was an avid pot head, then he realized everyone perceived him as a pot head, especially after he was promoted.
He ended up moving and working for another company to start over. I can see how it held him back, or at least forced him to make decisions that included the phrase, ‘start over’.
I am getting my ass kicked at the gym, Leon. I’m doing part TRX, anaerobic, and kettle bell.
Difficult, but fun.

^This.
It’s pretty hard to progress socially and mature as a person when you spend your free time watching cartoons and playing video games whilst imbibing teh weed.
What’s TRX? I’m unfamiliar.
Want a fitocracy invite? I still have 8 I think.
I know several small business owners that partake daily. Reasonably successful people, just never got out of the habit because they didn’t have to.
I can see areas where it holds them back from greater success, but I don’t consider it much different than cocktails before and after dinner.
Of course, for some personality types it’s completely different, just like alcohol. Some can’t be recreational users.
I’m one of those.
*touches elf*
I know a number of “functional” alcoholics, too. It’s a condition, and most people can manage one for a really long time. They aren’t at peak performance or peak ambition, but you don’t need either to get by.
I’ve got to take the Pupster Boys shopping for Mrs. Pupster today. Not looking forward to it.
TRX is suspension training. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFV-Ht6cEL4

Clarify – I don’t really care if someone is a recreational drug user, and they don’t do it around me. I don’t really have a big desire to be around it. I wouldn’t unfriend someone because I discovered they occasionally did something I disapproved of, and by all outward signs it doesn’t affect their life – or, more importantly, the lives of those dependent on them.
I knew way too much about weed at a very young age. Bongs. Adults sitting around getting stoned. It isn’t something that regular weed smokers feel they need to hide from their kids.
My sister started smoking pot at a very young age, and ended up dropping out of high school. I have a cousin (second cousin) who did so many hard drugs – he was a dependent on his parents until he died (in his 50’s).
He wasn’t an addict. It fried his brain. He was an addict until his mid twenties, and then from then on needed constant supervision.
Invite sent. TRX looks interesting, but it’s not my thing I don’t think.
That’s a good ad, Laura.
If the white middle class is overweight, it’s because they’re the ones with real, full-time jobs so they have no time to exercise, and eating for convenience for the same reason. They’re being pushed into overweight by a number of factors, and it would take an unrealistic shifting of priorities to change that.
While this is true, I think a shift in personal philosophy would help many of these folks. I don’t think it’s unrealistic… it’s just not easy peasy.
SO much of what happens to us in our life is out of our control. What you put in your mouth is absolutely the ONE thing you can control. It is one of the ONLY things, in life, that you can have 100% responsibility for.
You don’t have to be rich to be in shape. You don’t have to go to fancy training (eyes MJ ) – you can do it with just a few simple things in your house and determination. Pilattes, and fancy health clubs? That’s just fluff. Push ups and pull ups and sweat. It can get you there.
My sister, for example, says she doesn’t have time. Yet she gets home at 6, every night, and as a grown son that needs no caring for.
so … from 6 till … whenever she goes to bed (she’s a night owl), she watches tv or hangs on the computer.
That’s 4 or 5 hours every weekday. She could give up ONE of those hours, and work out. She could even watch tv while she worked out.
“TRX looks interesting, but it’s not my thing I don’t think”
Yep, too gay.
That’s what I’m saying, it’s a priorities thing. Most people care about their jobs, their families, their homes, they don’t have anything left to care about their health beyond not getting sick. I think we mostly agree.
It’s a tragedy, but it’s not one anyone has a genuine economic interest in correcting other than the afflicted. There’s much money and power to be had in prolonging the problem.
That’s 4 or 5 hours every weekday. She could give up ONE of those hours, and work out. She could even watch tv while she worked out.
Absolutely true. It’s her choice to make, though, and we live our choices.
I think if they felt empowered … they could do it. But the health industry wants to make money, so it’s always about buying shit. It’s defeating.
Plus, even if you can buy it – it doesn’t magically solve the problem.
and, i’m not criticizing MJ. If you can afford it – have a ball. But it’s a perk. Not a necessity.
And, I know it’s her choice. But it’s a choice she’s making w/o thought. It’s like she’s on auto-pilot.
My baby is chubby. But he’s supposed to be.
Yeah. You don’t need any devices, widgets, gadgets, just motivation and calisthenics is plenty, but no one makes a dime on that.
New Poat for people who are tired of looking at bewbs.
Fat babies are healthy babies, Peel, you are wise.
Don’t have much of a problem getting enough exercise at work. This week.
*back spasm!
