Even about 10 years ago this was the "in" thing to do. I mean absolutely no offence to anyone, but back then it was the african american's who used it prolifically. All the time, "Come here Boo". "Heres your cheque Boo". "Hey Boo, could you".......etc. So I see it is making a comeback. I am convinced there are no new fads, just recycled old ones.

If One More Person Calls Me "Boo" LOL
by PublishingCult inseems to be the trend today to call another, a friend or loved one, "boo".
it was cute about five years ago when it was seldom used.. it's old, it's overdone, it's done by everyone, it should stop now.
find a new pet name you damned boo-hooers .

I am a HUGE check that H-U-G-E Habs fan. The series with the much hated Bruins was all it was cracked up to be. Also, after living in DC for 11+ years, I became a big Caps fan. My problem is this: It is now May. We are JUST getting to the second round of the playoffs. The finale will not be until June. I am sorry, but as much of a hockey fan as I am, once this weather breaks a few ticks above +8c, I no longer want to sit on me arse inside watching anything. Especially now when we have temps hovering around +14 and the odd +20 days the LAST thing I want to do is waste what very little decentish weather we get here. The season needs to either start a few weeks earlier, or they need to knock a round off the playoffs. Then again, this is just all my opinion. Whatever happens, PLEASE oh PLEASE do not let Boston win the cup.

Entirely Possible hit it dead on. Those vows go 2 ways. It is to bad you are faced with this decision. I had to end my relationship with my family in order to move on. I know it is not quite the same as a marriage, but still. You have to remember that we only get one chance at life. Sooner or later YOU have to do what is right for YOU. If that means ending a marriage due to extradorinary circumstances beyond your control, sometimes you just have to do what you have to do, as unpleasent as it may be. Leaving my ENTIRE family behind and everything I knew since birth was gut wrenching to say the least. However, that said, I am no longer wasting my one life in that cult or being forced to be someone I am not. Life is far to damn short for that tom foolery. Looking back now, I wish I just left straight out from the get go when I decided it was time to go. The slow fade just prolonged the agony. That is just my two pence. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Yes I sure did. I tried and tried and tried again after I left the borg. I tried everything from Evangelicals to Catholics to Baptists and a couple others. In the end, what proved that there was no god, was when I was homeless and sleeping in one of those portable loo's you see on construction sites whilst severe storms were all around. I was praying my heart out as I have done many times before. Then all of a sudden it hit me like a tonne of bricks. I was just talking to myself.
I looked back at all the other times I prayed and compared that to actual results in my life. When I finally realized there was no god, I was ANGRY. I wasted so much life believing in the invisible sky daddy and waiting for that thing to "bless" me and show me the way. My anger was short lived. As soon as I saw that I was still going no where by stewing in my anger, and wishing I had that wasted life back, I picked myself up, dusted myself off, and then started doing what I had to do for me. I am emotionally and physcially the strongest I have ever been, thanks to that epiphany that night. Of course, this is just my experience and ymmv.

Ever do drugs while in the organization?
by FifthOfNovember ini only ever drank while i was still attending meetings.
but i seriously considered trying lsd or shrooms.
i came really close to trying shrooms once with my friend but we never got around to calling someone to sell us some.

Nope, but after going of the deep end after I left the borg I had a stint with ex in my clubbing days. Closest thing I did to drugs in the borg was drink a few wobblypops after working on the assembly hall and kingdom hall builds.

Wow. That is great news. The brief grief he will endure will be insignicant in the long run. He at least has his whole life ahead of him and he will have an opportunity to enjoy it. From the sounds of it, he also has a caring mum and sister willing to help him in the transition. He is indeed a lucky boy. Good for you and his sister as well.

Being raciest, need clarity.
by free2beme ingrowing up a witness, and having black friends and and relatives.
i was kind of in the dark as to what being a raciest was really based on.
so as i get older and think about it more, i thought it might be an interesting question to discuss what you think makes a person raciest and how they base this thinking.. i am going to use the african american racism in this example, as i think that more then any other group.

The older I get, the more my eyes are opened. I grew up in the southern USA. ALL of my friends were black in my old congo. I went to predominantly black and hispanic schools, so I was the furthest thing from a racist. Hell, me mum is even Mexican, so that is another strike for me. HOWEVER, the older I get, the more I see race for what it is. It is a crutch for the weak so called "downtrodden" people that are to lazy to do anything about their lot in life. Lets call it for what it is. There is a reason why blacks are labeled as what they are. Fair? Most of the time, yes. Just look beyond the media. Look at social networking sites. Same with Hispanics. Again, not fair to paint everyone with the same brush. There are the relative few from both societes, that recognise that THEY need to get off their arses and do something about their lot, instead of waiting on a handout. White people are guilty of this same mindset, but is far more prevelant in the other communites.
Don't give me this white people are better off drivel. If anything, the powers that be, have made it a lot more difficult on the white people (males especially) to do anything. The majority of all government programs are geared to non whites. The non whites have the better scholarships, internships,government help, etc. The government stacks the odds against white males especially, it seems in this day and age. Of course this all what I have personally witnessed and noticed. As LOW-KEY said, if it was the other way around there would be hell to pay.
DO NOT get me wrong. I am most assuredly NOT a racist. I am just calling it as I have seen it in the past years.

what a wonderful day
by jean-luc picard inmrs picard and i have both got the week off, so we have decided to spend the day on the hollodeck.. breakfast in bed, followed by a long walk in the countryside.. not a cloud in view.. salad lunch in the garden ( some of our firsthome grown produce of the year), along with a generous glass of red wine.. then a siesta in the hamack.
its a double hamack, but mrs picard declined to join me, prefering reading her new novel.. i didnt sleep, but lazily watched the comings and goings of the birds nesting in the trees above my head, the insects, and the sunlight flickering through the leaves.. to top it all, mrs picard has offered to take me out to the restaurant this evening.. if there is a god, i'd like to publically thank him for this wonderful day, and present my excuses for not going out in field service for the last 15 years.. and, in the words of karen carpenter, in one of her songs:.

Wow. That is a descriptive wonderful way of putting things. The older I get, the more simple things, like you just described, relaxes and soothes me. Glad you and the Mrs's had a nice day to enjoy.
