The things we think we know, we don't know. The only things we know are things we don't know we know. That's so annoyingly cryptic you probably won't even bother asking me expand, but I couldn't expand anyway, so that's okay.

German homeopaths use this one. For an earache, put half an onion over your ear (flat side down, obviously) and then strap it to your head using a bandage. Onion slices laid around the bed at night help with a cold.
My mom used to make us steam with boiling water that had jicama in it for colds and sore throats. I remember it working.

Ladies, don't you hate it when guys over analyze everything?
by Maverick ina by-product of being a genuis-type guy is the tendancy to read too much into every action, word or event in a relationship.
i have killed more than one relationship this way.
with the gf's giving me comments such as, "why can't i have a normal boyfriend?

I've always been the over-analyzer in my relationships, so I don't think it's a gender thing necessarily. I think it's just most people aren't that analytical, and if you are one who is, you're going to have to search long and hard to find someone who is as intense about it as you are. Which if you really reflect, you might not actually want. Two over-analyzers together can be a disaster. Someone has to bring instinct into the relationship, don't you think?

Doogie and DH, LOL, funny ones.
There's lots of people on this thread who say they wouldn't be missed that I would definitely notice if they were gone from this board.

Request from All the UK Peeps
by FiveShadows ini am currently attempting to get my passport and am very eager to visit the uk.
i don't want to go there and get stuck at some cheap tourist trap, nor do i want to spend a crap load of money on hotel only.
the prices i look online, usually, as i always find them to be, are extremely over priced.

If you go to London I can tell you a very decent hotel right in Covent Garden for about 70 pounds a night. You won't find anything cheaper that's bearable, not in downtown London.
I wouldn't worry too much about the cultural differences, they're used to Americans. Don't say "paki" to or around someone from Pakistan, that's all. And do NOT refer to me by my board name (as if you would), or mention your fanny pack, that makes them blush and fall about laughing.

Yeah, lots of people would miss me terribly.
Just because family is JW and shunning you doesn't mean they aren't affected by your existence. Even when you feel disconnected, you're really a lot more connected than you think you are. Usually.

XQ
Anyone able to have sex and willing to sell the footage for a few extra dollars. Then again who thought you could put these types of people on an island and pay for the footage of them eating bugs for a milliom dollars.
Good point, and funny too. Interesting take on the whole thing generally.

Kingdom Hall Spankings
by JH inmost meetings i went to, children were brought to the washrooms in the back to be disciplined.
often i could hear a child yell or cry due to the spanking given by the parent.
people in the hall would have that look on their face meaning that it was alright to discipline a child by spanking him.

I have pretty much the same stories as everyone else. My mother did spank, and she used wooden paddles in order to avoid hurting her hand. But I have a low pain threshhold so I learned early to keep quiet. What bothers me more now is the things I saw. At an assembly once a child not older than three, in a stall being ruthlessly whipped with a belt, sobbing hopelessly. The mother just wouldn't stop. It was horrible, I felt sick, and not one of the women in there said a single word, including my mother. Social services would certainly have had something to say about it, it was not just borderline child abuse, it was the real thing. There was also a family with three girls who came to meetings covered in enormous bruises. I asked my mother about it and she said the girls bruised easily. Yes, I'm sure all three of them had some strange blood disorder, that explains it. They always quoted whoever it was that said "spare the rod, spoil the child". I've wondered since if they misinterpreted. Maybe he really meant "please, spare the rod, go ahead and spoil that child". I am absolutely opposed to all corporal punishment. If you spank a child, that does NOT make him understand anything except that you are bigger than him and willing to use your power against him. He'll understand that very well and when he grows up his deepest reality will be that it is okay to hit people if they are a lot smaller than him and won't do what he wants. How can our whole society evolve beyond that if it's the first thing we teach our children by painful example?

I love your avatar, SP.
But I don't accept the idea that people who enjoy looking at naked bodies of their favoured gender (or both genders) are necessarily objectifying people. Well, SP's avatar isn't a good example because that body doesn't even have a face. But in general I think porn is often more complicated than just objectifying women. Many men have a complex relationship to women and femininity and sex and love, and porn is situated in that context.

I think the problem of regulating the industry so it only involves consensual over-age participants should be kept completely separate from the problem of people using it in a way that damages relationships. In my view porn is like alcohol or dope or telly or shopping or anything else that brings people a little pleasure or relaxation. Some like it, some don't, some can manage it, some can't. It can become an addiction, or a defense against intimacy, but it doesn't have to be. It just depends on the people involved and how they relate to it.
