it's a beautiful cloudy day in the high '50's (nice and cold for us in cali) with a chance of rain.
i'm cooking and listening to opera, two of my favorite things.
anyone else starting to do the food prep for tg??.
So far I've made the
Sweet potatos
stuffing
mac and cheese
greens
green beans
black eyed peas
tomorrow I will make the
mashed potatos
turkey (one in the oven and my husband is smoking one)
cornbread and honey butter.
My one nod to 'storemade' is Crescent rolls, because my son loves that he can 'make' them.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

I cook everything tomorrow, except for the turkey.
Going shopping in the morning. yeah I know I'm waiting till late. Screw it. I'm sick.
hey friends.... ok. i'm not saying that i have the solution to the somalia piracy problem.
saturday's wall street journal had a whole article on this.. he's my solution.
debate me, add to it, or come up with your own solution.. but the problem seems to that "people" are obviously paying the ransom demands.. lets face it... you have $100 million in oil - pirates sieze the ship - and they ask for 10 million or they blow up the ship.
The best and easiest, natch, cheapest, solution?
Safe rooms. When a ship is in the process of getting 'boarded' by pirates, the crew will get themselves to various concealed safe rooms, where they will be able to see every thing going on in the ship and remotely operate weapons systems, including toxic gas.
Then call for help and let the big guns come in and blow those motherfuckers to 'slithereens' as my girlfriend's son says.
Yes we will lose some civilians this way, but we are losing them anyhow.
Our problem is that we do not out-think these bastards, and we try to spare their lives. You could even kill a few boatloads of approaching pirates by arming the side of the ship with explosives designed to detonate OUTWARDS (yes they make them) and fry those suckers.
i can look back to a number of occasions when if i had at the time not left my braincells at home on charge, i should have "woken up" and walked from the wtbs.. one such was 15 or 20 yers ago we had a washtowel on daniels prophecy with the really wacky explanations of the 1260 days and 2300 days etc.
i had about 12 questions on this,like what on earth happened on the supposed finish date that marked the fulfillment of a great prophecy,i also had this thing that showed the 2520 years to be crap,i gave the list of questions to 7 or 8 elders,and none of them gave me a decent answer!.
one kindly elder,who has since faded,warned me to be carefull who i showed my questions to,and hinted that he felt it was all suspect too.. what a big banana i was not to wake up then!.
When I graduated high school in the late 80s, and despite being asked multiple times by the high school guidance counselor to PLEASE go to college, I didn't.
I still remember having a meeting with my parents, me and the GC. My parents were well armed with WT "proof" that the end of the system would be here in mere months!!!!! The GC just told them to send me to college as a back up plan, and they said that would show lack of faith. He tried everything. He hit a brick wall.
I got tattled on by an elder's daughter while looking in the college computers in the Library at school, I was going to secretly apply to the University of Hawaii...subconcious desire to get away from that shit.
After that, every move was watched to make sure I didn't take any steps to get to college. I should have waited till I turned 18, and walked into the local USMC recruiting station and offered myself up as a sacrificial lamb to the US Armed Forces.
Instead, I did what JWs are trained to do. I doubted myself, and my gut instincts, and I stayed in that miserable JW environment for 5 years.
i've been working on this tv show for the past month and a half...insanity!
i think the first episode airs in february, but we've been filming for several weeks now.
it's the first time i've been on the set of a reality/game show, it's a lot of fun, especially being part of the fx crew.
The day I worked on my first film set was the day I realized how over-hyped we JWs had been about our "two day miracle" kingdom halls.
I just fell out of my chair laughing Sixy.
WLG, we love Wipeout and the original Japanese game show it isa rip of. MXC, the only reason to watch TV.
see this article: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27827328/.
obese have right to two airline seats, one faresupreme court of canada rules for those functionally disabled by obesitywhat do you think?
just from a purely selfish standpoint, i would be grateful if the 500 pound passenger next to me were able to occupy 2 seats, rather than being wedged into 1 (and spilling over the sides)..
Meh.
This is an issue of pre-conceptions and judgement and it's not about someone's pure 'weight.' I could guarantee you anyone here would be HAPPY to be squeezed into a coach seat next to an NFL player or one of the massive guys in professional sports. People would be CLAMORING to rub up against a massive athlete.
Shit I wouldn't mind it my damn self. <LDH starts Christmas wish list>
When sitting next to a heavy person that you don't know, in already tight quarters, in a stressful environment, it doesn't take long for the mind to wander to how DISGUSTING that person must be to get that FAT,especially when part of their body overflows into your seat.
If that's the truth about how you feel, make it known at the check-in counter that you have issues with being seated next to obese passengers, and if your seat happens to end up next to an obese person, you will demand either a different seat or a different flight with accomodations for you.
For every fat person I'm sure there's someone who loves him/her just like they are.
There's a lid for every pot and all that.
you can't make this stuff up.. .

"This is so much FUN!" LOL
Look at the dude chewing gum while he watches her, while holding down the turkey struggling to take its last breath.
LOL. What a retard.
Besides a rich man is going to think he can buy me/my love and that I'll tolerate being treated like shit. nope.
That's a complete crock of shit and I urge you to figure out why you have already predicted a man with money would treat you like shit.

Trade offs with everything. Attractive for what? Attractive for a night of hot sex? Sure, physical attraction is not determined by financial status. or Attractive for marriage?
I have NEVER believed in supporting a man. I have a algebraic equation to determine who I should be with. My point is, why not be selective? This is the most important contract you'll ever enter into in your whole life, if you're doing it right!
Why wouldn't I want to be with a man who is a good provider? I hold up my end of the bargain, he can uphold his.
So, while I wasn't out 'gold digging' I did have standards for the men I dated. And two of those were, he must have his real teeth, and he must be a good provider. Men also have standards, why shouldn't women?
