I don't know that it is worth getting too upset over. Here is how I see it (not that it is the right way mind you, just my way)...

Whenever we first meet people we try and find a common ground. Something to connect on a personal level. This is just basic human communication. When a person is very much, by outward appearances, different from our norm we have to stretch a little bit further as we have no basis for a connection.

So in a way you should be flattered that they are trying to go to such lengths (and by how lame the comment they are stretching real far) to try and make a connection to you and try to maybe know you better. They find you interesting enough to try and stretch their little wings. Whether they are worth stretching back a little is up to you. You never know, they may be a real cool person down deep. Maybe they just need help figuring it out.

I do art shows at fetish clubs at times and without fail, someone will start telling me about their doodles. Any time I have done book signings I have heard how everyone "writes some" and maybe they could get it published too. For the longest time I was insulted by it like they were saying "Oh. . .if an animated chimp like you could do it. . .why can't I?" But I have come to a different conclusion. . .people see someone doing something or acting a way they wish they could act and they seek a commonality with that person in hopes of feeling more like they could be free of mind if they wanted too. . .like they aren't so trapped.

Course. . .they could be telling me that I am an animated chimp. . . .but I prefer to hope for the other. . .

I feel your pain on the home owner associations..

The last place I lived in had one. They had a stupid rule that you cant park your car on the street or drive overnight. The problem was my big arse 4wd doesnt fit in a airplane hanger, let alone the garage I had, so I parked it in the drive..

After the first night, this wanker knocks on my door, tells me the rules, to which I explain my problem. He then has the balls to pull out a tape measure and starts measuring the height of my 4wd. After noticing that it was about 2' too tall for the garage he has the balls to tell me to sell it.

I replied with my Louisville Slugger

Hope you're feeling better.



ps: Atleast you live in a country where if people shit you enough you can get your gun and shoot them.. We have to resort to using wet paper towels because our stupid government wont allow us to bear arms. Wankers..

in better news! i just emailed clara so the group should be yours soon!

You look stunning in this picture

I dont have one right now. I little bit ago it was Snake River Conspiracy though.

Damn, that's awesome.

1st and last picture. WOW!

just popping by to let you know about this, i wasn't sure if you had seen it

Actual concern from a distance is better than feigned sympathy closer to home.

The girl was 7 1/2. Her throat was cut.

Take what you gather from the media and multiply it times 10.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I'm the first guy in the story.

Hopefully, about the time you get your house ready for a get-together; I'll have gotten my truck in a more suitable condition to make a trip to PHX.

How long do the tortillas take to cook using the machine? Is it faster/easier to do than just using a pan on the stove and a tortilla press? Does it only do corn or can you do flour with it? I looked it up on Amazon and it only mentions the corn maza.

I always like to hear how other people like their gadgets. I hate buying without some actual use reviews.

You have a TORTILLA MAKER!?

It's not quite worth the cast to fix, mostly likely. It's just a 19" tube (although a pretty good one).
Honestly, the only reason I haven't tossed it yet is that I'm a little attached to it. I'm typing this on its replacement, but...Well, you know how first loves are. This was the first monitor I really loved.

Feel free to ridicule me for saying that, BTW.

Also, I gotta say, there's no WAY I woulda felt comfortable talking with my mom about that at that age. So he obviously really trusts you. Kudos.

Needing a manual? Either they're incompetent or your monitor is a rare model.
Hope it won't cost you much.


Hey, cool your kid gets to hang out with others like him. I was a loner at that age. I didn't quite fit in with the other kids.


My parents didn't talk to me about sex. I had sex education class at 6th grade. This was at a catholic school. I remember the books had a chemical smell and were pink with black lettering and the pages were plastic covered. It was very clinical.

Will we get pictures of the remodel?

A 56" monitor? I'd have to swear off porn until I found a more reasonably sized monitor. Shit I already have an inferiority complex the size of Nebraska. That would just humiliate me to the point of impotence.

It might be cheaper to buy a second hand monitor than get one repaired. The second hand computer shops over here are practically giving away the smaller CRT ones.

Paint stripper burns like holy water, ouch.
I used some 'Peel Away' for the first time recently, so I know.
