I read this fiction book a few years ago, but everything you're pointing out is pretty much right on the money.

Consider this to be ironic, but I actually have a measure of agreement with you. Makes me think that things like Vioxx have done more damage than some gold from Acapulco.

Her ex-husband didn't seem to think so. Turned out to be an extremely costly mistake.

This has to be beyond N. http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/largest-natural-breasts/

I was wondering when someone was going to say something about that. I intended it to be a play on words. I meant for it to be something where perhaps cannabis could be a replacement for a bad hip socket. But, I'm not really sure how well the joke's going to go over. As for cannabis, I personally don't use it - or any other drug for that matter. Not only can it kill my career, but I really have no interest in imbibing in such stuff. As it is, I find it interesting that many of us have not learned the lessons from Prohibition. The stuff is still available, and people are going to wreck their lives in many different ways, no matter how much people with the best of intentions try to get them to stop. I've come to understand that sinners are still going to be sinners, and no amount of "legislating morality" is going to prevent people from getting their hands on that stuff. After all, when the Puritans banned Christmas back a few centuries ago, people still engaged in such practices. It came to a point that the law banning it was finally overturned. I hope this helps.

To be honest with you, I didn't think you were complaining. I was just speaking about the general attitude of many people out there. I've never even heard of that show before. I don't watch the telly when I'm out on the road.

As much as people complain about their spouses and stuff like that, I'd like to posit a breath of fresh air. Marriage between a man and a woman is a blessing, and should not be seen as a curse or a [prison] sentence. Sure, it takes work, but there is plenty of reward in it. Thus, I pray that you two would be truly blessed beyond measure when you two tie the knot. Now, for something unrelated but still F'N Fantastic: ever since I deactivated my Facebook account late last week, it has been a struggle to not reactivate it. However, I have been able to get a lot of other stuff done that I needed and wanted to get done. I'm getting caught up on my reading, and perhaps it may lead me to help me write and finish a novel.

I'm not sure if this is a sign of a recovering economy, "luck of the draw", or Divine Providence; but after I went back to work on Monday after spending the past 4 days at home, I hit the road and got a load with both deadhead and loaded miles totaling over 1100 miles. Then, after I delivered that one, I get another one with a combined 1400 miles. I have not had that good a week coming out of the house in a very long time. That's F'N Fantastic for me! :thumbsup:

The logic behind his reasoning just completely escapes me. Makes absolutely no sense at all.

Speaking of which, I haven't heard from connee in a long time.

You're not trying to get me to lose my dinner tonight, are you? :sick:

Diet Pepsi is just plain nasty. Period.

There's a lot to be said about eating as much natural food as possible and staying away from all the junk that's out there. At the same time, (sorry for any perceived political overtone on this one), the FDA does not appear to have a clue on food and nutrition. Yet, they seem to always be in a rush to approve "prescription drugs" that are supposedly useful for certain ailments - only to bring on other ailments that weren't there before. This isn't really a complaint, but I hear about it from my wife all the time. I can't remember if I've mentioned this before on here, but I go to Wikipedia on a daily basis to see who died. Try living in a town where there's a paper mill. That'll do wonders for your olfactory senses. <_<

Here you go.

I would have never thought to reply to this. Then, this song crossed my mind. I only thought it was apropos, given what you posted. (Sorry that this one is going way too far.)

I only saw Mad Men once and didn't really care for it. You get props for me for Firefly. That show is quite engaging to say the least. She dyes her hair red. It's not natural.

chz pinned this one in the early days of this thread. Now, next on my list...

You may be very low key, but you're incredibly observant and quick on the draw.

If there's one thing I miss about the Northeast, it's that (besides the fall colors). Go to a different part of the country, and it's not the same (although if anyone can get to a Wegmans out in Virginia, the beer and wine selection is still pretty amazing). Unless someone knows to look in some obscure place, there's nothing to rival that down in Dixie. I think it's only a matter of time before she gets called up to the Big Leagues (for lack of a better term).

Beavers and wood: a match made in heaven. :D

Apple computers. I've never had one crash on me. Can't say the same thing about everything else that's powered by Microsoft. John 00 Fleming. (Yes, I've brought him up before on the Songs You Can't Get Out of Your Head thread, but he has to be one of the best Trance DJ's out there.) Good theological resources like the ones I linked to. If you don't mind me asking, who are some of your favorite bass players? Since you mentioned upright, I don't know of too many out there, but I enjoy John Patitucci's bass playing.

If it's that easy for you to knock them off according to the game programming, that ought to be sending a message to the FO that they really need to seriously upgrade the team. Then again, it won't. We're just fooling ourselves if we think they will.

Happy paraskevidekatriaphobia, everyone! BTW, GoDD has a really awesome avatar! I saw it yesterday and it made my day.

We no longer have a Bill of Rights. NDAA scuttled them with the stroke of a pen.

How many here can go this low? I admit that I can, but it can be quite a challenge to hit G1 and hold it at that range for several seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNQ5auIC1bw
