  That first one has been around for years. The first time I heard it was at a work thing, it was the ice breaker story...this was about 10 years ago, and apparantly it was ancient even then....haahaha I still get a kick out of it though.

  years ago i was driving down the highway one night, listening to a radio talk show host.. he had some time to kill, so he said to the audience, "i know, let's talk about liver!

  how many of you out there like liver?

  and if you do like liver, do you have a favorite recipe.".

  anyone else play this game?

  it's really very good, i was going to get into wow but a friend persuaded me to play gw instead, very glad i did.

  graphics are amazing, people are nice, and the strategy aspect of the game is unbeatable..

  ahhhh....I am a WoW Widow...spend more time talking to the back of my husband's head than to his face.

  At least Guild Wars is free right? WoW is 17 bucks a month...not that there is anything wrong with the game. Looks pretty cool. I just have an issue with the time husband plays on it.

  Triathletes? Anyone?

  by Princess in

  i was surprised at the number of people who popped in with running advice for vitty.

  i didn't realize we had so many runners on board here.

  i'm getting ready for my first triathlon next month and find myself wondering if we have any triathletes around here..... i have wanted to complete a tri ever since i ran the 1/2 marathon portion on a tri relay 1/2 ironman in 2003. i've shied away from them because the swim totally freaks me out.

  I love watching triathalons on tv...when I was a kid I always thought about trying. I used to be pretty good on the bike, but even though I did track in high school I was never a good runner. (It was the only sport you didn't have to try out for). Now, if they allowed water wings and other floatation devices, maybe someday I could just do it hahah.

  I finally joined a gym again (went to the local city rec center..about a 20% the cost of 24 fitness)...anyhoo. I have only been a few times. I finally quit smoking about two weeks ago, and haven't felt up to doing much more than walking around the indoor track.

  The last time I went, I took my 5 year daughter with me. She had designated herself my "trainer" and "coach". She walked ahead of me on the laps, and the last lap we took turns passing each other. Made it a lot more fun for me, and she makes me keep a brisk pace because per the rules she can never be more than an arms length away..and she is a fast little kid. I hope that this will encourage her to stay active.

  Anyway...maybe by the time I am 40 I will be in enough shape to try one of those triathalons...I can be one of those peeps that just needs to finish, hahah....=)

  I am in awe of you Princess...good luck!

  =)

  Billygoat,

  You are so lucky your husband will walk with you. My guy is a good husband, but I think in 6 years of marriage I could only get him to go for a walk with me once. I tell him that is what I want for bday or xmas or valetines day....a few weeks of walks...but I never get it. Sigh.

  What should I do about my brother??? I'm going insane.

  by sonnyboy in

  i'm at my wit's end right about now.. my 24 year old brother is staying in my home as a roommate.

  when i bought the house 5 years ago everything was fine; he helped with the housework, cut the grass, and was fair with the amount of 'house food' he'd consume.. time changes everything.

  he now does nothing inside the house: no dishes, no vacuuming, no dusting, no anything.

  Pack his bags for him, change the locks, and drive him to a homeless shelter and drop him off.

  AND DON'T LET HIM BACK IN!

  He is disrepecting you as he did his parents because he can get away with it. You shouldn't put up with that.

  Feed the fish to the reptliles...that takes care of part of the pet problem (okay..just kidding there).

  I know this is all easier said than done. My mon is in a similiar situation with one of my brothers. She is moving out of state soon to take care of her parents. My brother is supposed to pay rent on the aparment, (she owns the duplex, upstairs is one of my brothers and his family, and downstairs will just be my younger brother). The problem is that 75% of the time my brother doesn't have a job. I think he may have one now..it changes every other month. My mom has been delaying her move because of him and my youngest sister...but since the sister is going to live with me, she only has to worry about him. She told him she is going this fall, come hell or high water...and he better pay up on the rent.

  I dunno how it will all work out.

  Let us know how you make out...maybe he will shape up if you have another talk with him, but I doubt it.

  Funny little story to share with my fellow pet lovers…

  by jeanniebeanz in

  dumb-dumb the cat has become the neighborhood sweetheart.

  it is common to see little neighborhood children and adults alike stoop to pet him in passing.

  he often makes the rounds in the evenings, going from door to door in the complex and saying hello through any open doors.

  Sounds like you have a cat with a great personality. I have found cats a lot like humans....you get all kinds, some are a blast and others are just snooty hahhh.\

  Since we got our ferret about 12 days ago, my husband has gotten some extra exercise each night playing with the guy. He is so much fun. Even when he is in his cage, the kids will talk to him and play with him. Its almost like have a cross between a good humored cat and spastic dog.

  Dumb Dumb sounds very special...I hope that cat is around for a long time.

  Is vivisection ethical?

  by greendawn in

  do you believe that vivisection (animal experimentation) that usually involves causing disease or injury to animals for the sake of scientific research is an unethical practice that should be banned?

  Well, I am a life time member of PETA..that is People for Eating of Tasty Animals...but animal testing does bother me in many areas. Cosmetic testing, surely is really unnecessary.

  I tend to think of myself as an omnivore...not just a carnivore. And to say that a person is always more healthy if they never eat meat I think is not correct. I have known vegatarians that were healthy, and a few that were not. They just couldn't seem to get the right nutrients. I am not saying it is impossible...obviously it is possible. However, I do believe there are some people that feel a little better with some meat in their diet.

  I also don't think you can equate eating meat with animal testing. It isn't the same thing at all. There are a lot of tests that are necessary to use animals, but there are humans that subject themselves to experimental new drugs too. You can sometimes go to craigslist.com and see where labs are looking for human test subjects.

  For all those people that are opposed to absolutely NO animal testing in ANY case, please contact your local lab and volunteer for the new research in cancer, aids, diabetes, etc...all the other diseases where animal testing may be necessary. If enough of you step up, I am sure we won't NEED any more animal testing.

  Excuse me, I am off to test a new animal treat on my ferret, Ubu.

  Hey there...welcome to the board!

  I am not gay, nor have a played a gay man on tv, being a girl kind of gets in the way of that hahah.

  There is a nice group on this board that happen to be gay. It doesn't hurt to hook up (I am not referring in a sexual way) with a person that has some idea of what your background is.

  My husband was never a witness, but his ex's mother was,and he got to see some of the wierd aspects of the religion. I think that helped him understand my past a little more.
