" Good times come and good times go..." in Just Hanging Out JoeUser Forums

I go back to work tomorrow after a week's vacation. I got really used to getting out of bed near noon, drinking coffee for lunch and staying up way too late watching Conen and Adult Swim. Vacations from work are just the best. But going back to work is just the worst. I think I am allergic to my job. Actually that isn't true. I am allergic to the PEOP

Reply to What's your oldest possession? in History JoeUser Forums

My oldest possesssion is the blanket I was bunddled up in just moments after I was born. It is one of those blue thermal blankets. Of course it is no longer blue. It is more gray. It is also torn up a bit from various run-ins with the vaccume cleaner and the nieghbors dog. In my possesion for 26 years.

Reply to What shall I read? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I can see I am a little late giving you a suggestion on what books to read but I will name some anyways. "Getting Over It", "Running in Heels", "Behaving Like Adults." --All by Anna Maxted. She is a great author. One of my favorties. Her stories are funny and easy to read. They are hard to put down too, so you will finish them quickly. I love her stuff. Also try, " The God of Small Things." By Arundati Roy. Words can't describe how be

Reply to Who's Your Favorite? in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

I admire the politician that is not a republican nor a democrat but, is the politician who is a human being. A real person with real views and who is out for the best interest of the american people. Like George Washington, John F. Kennedy,FDR and even the politician who has yet to be a president, or never was, Like Martin Luther King Jr. Someone with substance who speeks what they believe and is true to their word.

Reply to Coffee-free me: it's all in the mind now in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I too was once on the coffee addiction train. But I have since ridded myself of the need to have it each and every morning. I noticed that it was the idea of having it that made me want it. I was making it and not even drinking it. I treat myself to it every nice in a while on Sunday morning. It makes it more special. Like a weekend treat. But enough of my ramblings. Congratulations raven. I know it was hard for you to do.....Bravo!<img

If no one else believes you are worthless where do you get this idea from? I do not know you personally but from the comments you have given me and from the posts you have writen, you are not worthless. At least I do not think so. Loosing jobs and failing at relationships makes you human. I hope you feel better soon:)

Reply to How old is too old? THIS is too old!!!! in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I think there is a reason that our bodies STOP producing eggs after a certain age. Don't you? There comes a time when one should stop trying to fool mother nature. I understand that there are women in the world that want babies. But there are also pleanty of women in the world who have babies and do not want them. That is the beauty of adoption. I am right with you on this one Dharmagrl.

Just be glad you're not standing at the trough surrounded by two 400 lb guys at the ball game staring at your junk while you're listening to their unsettling giggles...enough to make you wish you were born a woman. LMAO did that really happen? way too funny:)

Reply to Underwear Flaps: Friend or Foe? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I have no idea what it is like to pee as a man, as I am female. But I do imagine it must be a nice benefit when you are stuck someplace with no restroom or when you are in a public restroom that is filthy; because you can stand up to pee. You men have no idea what the inconvenience, let alone the humiliation of the “squat and shake” we girls have to endure is when we are in a situation like that. Very funny post btw, <img src="../images/smiles/lol.

I am the same way. I have my thought out ones, my spur of the moment ones and then a few maybe I have had too much to drink ones. Thank goodness for word perfect. I always write my posts in there before I submit them. I am the worst at spelling. I like that you write for you. It makes an interesting and honest read.

Reply to No Sympathy for Skinny Chicks in Misc JoeUser Forums

I love this! I think that our society has really weird standards as to what women "should" look like. But I think that a lot of the time we as women buy into it. We believe it too. Even the so-called skinny girls feel the pressure to be even thinner. It boggles my mind sometimes. Thank you for writing such an insightful post.

Reply to New Willy Wonka...BLASPHEMY!! in Misc JoeUser Forums

I am a firm believer that only BAD movies should be remade. If it was a classic it should be left alone. Like the sages say “if it ain't broke don't fix it" However I recently saw Finding Neverland and Johnny Depp was fabulous. He did a really amazing performance. Him being cast as the new "Willy' will be interesting. I think that he has the capability of pulling it off. No one could ever top Gene Wilders Rendition of "Willy", that's a gi
