that is the part we do not agree on. the government can not stop us form making mistakes. it is law enforcements obligation to help us find our way to certain consequence.

I just want to point out here that your underlying belief system is that the one with the economic power is the one with the power to decide on who does what (as well as control the level of one's privacy, decision making, whatever). I am not saying this to provoke a defense--I actually believe the same thing. But I do think it is good to be aware of these beliefs/assumptions and call them out on occasion. You are correct. It is part of my belief structure. Money=choice and choice=power. i am not saying that is right, it is just what i think.

i have been reading more of what you said justin and totally disagree with you. there are mistakes that people make that should be irrevocable. you can not recover from accidentally shooting someone. so you should never point a gun at anything you don't intend to kill. period. if we raise our children, our society, to believe there is always a way back, a reset button just like the video games we are robbing them of a sense of wholeness. they will believe that nothing they do really matters any way. this is untrue and you are trying to get the resolution to the issue you see in a backwards way.

I am thinking i do not want to watch this at work

This is exactly my point too. Apparently people do not. Is it right to allow people with a lack of personal responsibility and judgment to become a burden on society, based on the principle that they should be allowed to do anything they want to? Do you let your kids do anything they want to? I do not let my children do anything they want to do. i teach them to think about what they are going to do before they do it by teaching them what consequences are and letting them suffer them. society as we know it will not learn personal responsibility until people get the idea that what we do or do not do affects us. when the government provides my food clothing house and entertainment, MAYBE then they can tell me what to do. as long as my ass is working for a living i want the government to stay the fuck out of my business. the point is to not take responsibility for those that will not take responsibility for them selves. the point is to let the ones winning the Darwin awards DIE to make room on the planet for those with a somewhat cultivated idea of common sense.

i don't feel so much like i have a cavernous pit inside me that i must fill. still a little bit though.

Thats it. we need to hire a lawyer. the next big money making class action suite should be against Hostess for all the fucking twinkies they made me eat when i was a kid because they brainwashed my mother into buying them. That contributed to my food addiction and my unhappy miserable every day battle with food now. I am going to sue for all the money i have spent on therapy and medical bills incurred by my anorexia and for the amount of money i have spent on junk food in my life time. p.s. when are people going to start taking responsibility for their own actions and decisions? Your argument is retarded. i smoked for 20 years. I started because i made a conscious decision to smoke. at 11 i knew that nicotine was an appetite suppressant and i was tired of being roundish and looking like a little girl. not the best choice i have ever made but it was MINE TO MAKE. no one made me no one held a gun to my head. it wasn't about the advertising. my dad smoked and he was skinny and i knew that if i smoked i could forget to eat. it is not the governments responsibility to protect the naive, or the ignorant or the uneducated. the only thing the government is obligated to protect us from is invading enemy forces. they can offer services, education and information. after that fuck people who don't care enough to read a little. the legalization of drugs will not lead to mass consumption and addiction any more than the legalization of alcohol has led to the down fall of all morality. I don't think that anyone who doesn't use drugs today would take it up just because it is legal. if there are any people like that they are in a very small minority. what would happen is that the people who like to use would be paying a hefty tax to the government, the quality and strength and ingredients of the substances would be monitored and kids would have to find a more creative way to rebel as using would not be seen as "on the edge." muffy's .02$

If they rely strictly on the "crotch test"--how much clearance you have between your crotch and the top tube when you stand over it--I'd be leary of buying from them. There's a lot more that needs to be taken into account, like the reach to the handlebars and to the pedals and what angles these positions force your body into on that frame. If you feel scrunched or overextended, your either going to be uncomfortable or unable to really put power into your stroke, or worse, end up with an injured back or knees, etc. There is some room for flexibility if they work with you to try adjustments to the stem, seat, etc. But that should all still happen before you put down any money for it so that you know it's going to work for you. If the bike doesn't feel exactly right for you, don't settle for it. When you are fit for a bike, it should be a thorough process, not a quickie "standover" fit. A good bike shop will provide a higher standard of service and is worth seeking out. Good luck, Muffy! Can't wait for the TR photos (spandex!)! that was exactly what i needed to know!! thank you sherri!!!!!

still 141 as of this morning. tonight i climb

there are many things that it is worth being knowledgeable about

BUMP any one else going to the BCG thinger??? come one S.willamette vally folks...get the led out and get the to the slide show!!!

1260 calories today did yoga i am about ready for bed as i have an early call in the am.

YAY i like being right and smart about something

all very true indeed

some of the principles overlap. but the books i read are taoist in philosophy if i am remembering correctly. but then i smoke a lot of crack so you never know

with practice you can. people have this idea that it takes women so long to cum, this is not necessarily so. generally what takes a woman a long time is the mans unwillingness to go the extra mile where it counts. for each woman that extra mile is different. there is no blanket that covers all women in this area. it takes finesse and interest and some willingness to experiment. women are built to be multi orgasmic. it is pay back for child birth, cramps etc... and let us not forget, if you have sent sexy e-mails all day and whispered sweet nothings in her ear all through dinner and took the time to help her mind forget all the other junk that doesn't make her feel sexy... she might cum before you do a damn thing Yeah, physiologically speaking you guys are set! I'm not sure what I'd pay to be able to have multiple orgasms back to back. But sinse I'm incapable of childbirth, I think I'd pay in the area of $22,000,000 - if I had that much! actually men can learn to be multi orgasmic. i read a book about it once. if i meet a man who can do it.... well i call dibs OK Muffs. You've got me WAY INTERESTED! How is this awsome feat of skill and nature done?????? It's a Taoist technique. it has to do with orgasming without ejaculating and it is very difficult to learn. there are several books with information. the multi orgasmic male the multi orgasmic female the multi orgasmic couple book here

well YA it doesn't matter how little i weigh..... i still have a big ass.

Hey, be nice to Kevbone. Us not so quik witted idiots need some slack! did someone say penalty slack??

I'm not sure how much this got posted, but Kat was in Harborview for a while. Durring some of the same time that I was. I know I feel the same way, but just getting out and walking after a bad injury is a hell of a lot more important than scoring with the babes. Also being flat out on your back with medical problems doesn't make hitting up on the chicks very easy or the highest priority. very true indeed Kurt. i don't usually think of sex in terms of scoring so much as i think of it in terms of doing something i love with someone i love. same way i think about food and climbing ;)i can eat alone and i can boulder alone and i can even service myself... but they are all more fun if i am with someone i adore.

when i go to the bike shop is there some one there who will tell me if the bike fits me right?

i would if he didn't do some other nice things my foot is healing. it still hurts more than i want it to. i want to go running so bad. i still can't sit on my heals in yoga or do a high lunge with that foot back... but i can walk so i am making the best of it. we were doing a bunch or Quad work in yoga today and i can not bend that leg behind me because of the foot. it is way better than it was last week though i saw my massage therapist today... she RULES and rubs my feet

thats a man after my own heart

I wish the ice cream engineers would figure out that peanut butter and vanilla is a perfectly valid combination on its own, one that does not need some kind of plastic chocolate nastiness added to it to make it a legitimate flavor. (those fake Reese's cups in the store brands are ) The chocolate throws off my palate. In Pennsyvlania, they sell a flavor called "Peanut Butter Bender." It is like a solid block of frozen, sweet-salty peanut butter ribboned with old-fashioned vanilla ice cream. It's a good thing I can't get it out here. My mom stocks it in the freezer for me when I visit, though. my mouth is watering now save the chocolates for the candies... ice cream is yummy vanilla!!!

I want one of those *nods* i have been wanting a road bike! *nods* It was a good move for me, and it's a bike I'd recommend without hesitation because of it's versatility and comfort. Only thing I'd give a to was the stock Bontrager tires. The chipseal chewed them up in a few short months. Once I switched to Continental 4000 tires the weekly flats were thing of the past(they're made of kevlar or something impervious to most road hazards). I'll let you take it out for a spin if you're ever in the neighborhood, Muffy! YAY!!! i want to do some riding in the boonies in central Oregon. there is NO traffic out there and lots of nice sunny days.
