Yes to Chinks being a racial slur in the U.S. Earlier this year when Jeremy Lin from the NY Knicks was all the rage, but then had a bad game, a sportswriter used the headline, "A Chink in the Armor?" and was fired posthaste.

Ditto what Ohio Cowboy said. I've made hundreds of dollars buying old literature when I see it at estate sales and reselling on ebay. There's a double market for it, JWs trying to build a library and ex-JWs looking for evidence of flip flops, etc. It's easy money.

My demon experience
by SweetBabyCheezits inone recent afternoon, me and a buddy were taking a trek around a nearby neighborhood and made our way past a delapidated house that had all the familiar symptoms of being haunted.
he suggested we check it out so, of course, we did.
it looked like it had been abandoned probably 30-40 years earlier but the previous owners had left behind a small coffee table.

NC: " I knew a guy once that was a serious drug addict and had mental illness. One time he was in his garage sniffing starter fluid, and this female apparition appeared out of nowhere and they proceeded to have the best sex ever and nothing in his life has ever come even close before or after. He remembers it quite fondly. Is it kind of like that?"
Yes. But I don't need starter fluid. The other interesting thing (at least for me) is that sleep orgasms all feel the same (amazing, duh), but they're different than any I've ever had whilst awake (also amazing [duh]).
Back to the OP: I'm curious about the x-rated thing, considering you were hanging out with a dude at the time. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
And, in conclusion, my sleep paralysis/demon dreams all stopped, not when I left the JWs, but when I stopped believing in it two years later.

Did anyone find the movie The Grey slightly offensive?
by Chemical Emotions inits portrayal of grey wolves was horribly inaccurate.
it will probably lead to an even more negative attitude toward wolves, which puts them in more danger.
i believe i read that the creators bought dead wolves while producing the movie.. its main characters' philosophizing was pretentious, cliched, and insulting to my intelligence.

Joe Bob says two thumbs up to "The Grey." I didn't walk away from this movie thinking twice about the actual habits of wolves, because I knew it was fiction when I bought my ticket. Very entertaining and great non-Hollywood ending.

@still thinking: That's hilarious.
Perry, thanks for posting this. Have you posted about your bird experiences? Did you ever teach any of them to talk?
I'm a sucker for smart/sweet animals. I've been known to spend hours on youtube watching Great Danes play with puppies.

ProdigalSon: " Check it out, Controlled Demolitions Inc, the company assigned to the "cleanup" is owned by the Bushes. What a Co-Incidence....."
Can you provide some proof of this? Everything I'm finding says it was established and is still owned by the Loizeaux family.

I swore I would never get a Kindle, but I borrowed a friend's to read my version of a potato chip book, The Hunger Games. Now I really want one. I loved being able to lay in the bed at night and read with all the lights off.
Does anyone have a Kindle Fire?
