youtu.be/NNm_KI6vAAA?... Who knew that metrosexuality started in 1982?
Something makes me suspect if you wanted a kink shame Ms. Lilli you'd have to spend a long time shaming. I suspect she has a wonderfully diverse library of yums. For Christ's sake hockey player is humping each other turns her on. You know she's not plain vanilla.
Beautiful.
You can always keep your side project. You just have to decide which one is the side project. And you don't have to focus on both at all times. And who knows, maybe your natural charisma leads it to be your band in a relatively short time.
That is a great approach to problem solving an analysis. 5 days as if it was a friend's. I'm going to steal that line and that approach. Good on you
They actually paid LA to rip out the existing streetcar system etc. And it turned it into a horrifically car-centric world as everybody knows. I'm not sure about Detroit. I only know this because I learned it as part of antitrust theory in economics classes
It's been 20 years since I watched them, but the big fireworks in Cincinnati were always on Labor Day
While true, your statement is specific to Los Angeles county. The car companies, petroleum companies and tire companies in the 1950s and '60s paid off L.A. not to build public transportation. Far too late the department of Justice got involved and sued them for antitrust violations. And won.
I don't quite understand but it's not mine to ask what it means. How do we extract revenge? A lawyer?
Truly saddened to hear that. Be as strong as you can and yell at the void
Scream it loud.. cry if needed. How can I help.
Well I do have the blue eyes, if I had hair still, 25 less lb, 25 fewer years and hadn't been ugly all my life. I might look a little bit like that.
I bet we could convince Geist to send her her hulk a Scottish girlfriend. She could throw capers at them.
Oh, Alberta...
Hooray, the end is nigh! Can't wait for you to be able to relax a little bit in your new home. Maybe it'll perk your mood so high that I'll be able to complain about chili made from turkeys and get away with it. 😉
Me thinks thou dost protest too much...
Good choice sir. Unless they were poultry corn dogs in which case awful choice sir. But mustard is the only proper condiment for something deep fried in cornmeal that is meat in tube form. Not that it matters, but I approve.
But our work is really fucking important. How we act and react will change the world. And there will be others after us that do the same. Let's set the example for doing it with class, dignity, and purpose. Recognize that we're all different but give each other the same humanity. That's progress.
We also need to acknowledge that we have it much easier than minorities did in the 1950s and they had it much better than minorities did in the 1850s. And we have to do our part to make it better for everyone. Because in the end everyone is a minority. We'll never see the consequences of our work
We were once all either savants or retards. But just like we need people who can do math and people who can do literature, we need intellectual variants to move forward in the world and through the future as a species. It just sucks to be at the leading edge here. And that's exactly where we are
For centuries, it's always been about the external things. Skin color, ethnicity driven looks, weight. Now we're beginning to move past that and so the next thing people will hate on is neurodevelopmental variances. This is the start of a long painful process.
Your hypothesis is undeniably true. Heterogeneity is a necessary part of evolution and evolution creates more heterogeneity. Why would we believe that all minds are the same? We're not the same in any other dimension: height, weight, eye color, hair type, genital size. Someday people will get it
Gonna have to settle for 18. The only pics of myself I have access to are my four old passports and current one. It's a frightening progression as my forehead gets increasingly large.
That was a hanging curve and unclear that it was not an innuendo. But out of respect for you, I have deleted my posts. Mea culpa
Actually I'm 9,999 Maniacs looking for one more. Who will be my Natalie Merchant? I know you're out there, come find me!
Bob Geldof as Pink in The Wall
Me as a fish:
Absolutely the best Canadian band to never have an impact in America. No question about it. 5 days is an amazing album. Jim Cuddy is an amazing songwriter.
Crying is healing. I know from personal experience.
Maybe it's because I happen to land in one of the places known for it's peppercorns, Sarawak. They sure are proud of it here
Give me the spiciness of jalapenos and chili peppers every time. But until I got the southeast Asia, I generally avoided pepper because I dislike it. Here. It's used with a much lighter hand and it's okay so far.
The ham the salty touch. I would prefer regular smoked bacon in general to add some smokiness as well as salty.
Craps.
The SEA rains are something I'm leaning about. Today on Borneo as I was walking to breakfast, the skies got dark and the winds just started howling. The plastic chair is used everywhere. Started blowing across restaurants. Everyone was expecting the torrents. It just sprinkled and left.
Eat of lots peaches. That dancer was smart. As was the Chicago letter carrier... youtu.be/NWOoiMtevdY?...
I was speaking more broadly. It's become a trait lately. Us every once in awhile, these flashes of self-awareness hit me upside the head.
Hang in there. So far your decision making sounds impeccable. I got to get out of the habit of making insightless recommendations because I have incomplete information.
Conflicted. Helping a friend is difficult. Very difficult. But hard work is good work and must be done.
Somehow or another? I think you need to work the subjunctive mood. into that
You clearly give a fuck about recursion
Why can't it be true that you all are just plain crazy and sick of hearing about people bitching about their weather. Living in Malaysia, I'm sick of Floridians talking about 85° weather in the fall. 😄🤣😝
I kind of had you pictured as a Dom. But thanks for being a good Sub. What's the appropriate aftercare for that??

who are the judges and prosecutors in these cases?.
United and untied are not even one letter apart. Just the order. Makes you think about love and trust. Especially bondage. BDSM.
Go! The cost of going is temporary. The cost of waiting is potentially another year Short-Term pain for long-term gain is better than the reverse
I guess you're going to have to block me. My immense charm is simply overwhelming. Everybody swoons over me. Remember that torrid millisecond we had when you swooned over me. So fast you didn't even recognize it.
Yeah I live in Southeast Asia... The increased risk of that outcome is marginal at best. And whatever it is, it's immeasurably small. But I enjoy the food here immensely, and I enjoy your posts likewise. I think I beat the system
Only if you add something like: the proof that this applies for all cases is left to the reader as an exercise.
My friend will do what my friend will do. I just hope I don't have to fly home for a funeral
I share a similar story. Thankfully it only lasted 3 years but I couldn't afford housing in America anymore and that's why I moved to Malaysia. Thankfully therapy and state coverage for spravato made a profound difference and I'm in a good headspace and expect to be the foreseeable future
Thank you, and that makes a lot of sense. Therapy has been incredibly helpful to me and made a huge difference in my life. Someone I know could benefit but is reluctant because of the cost. A lame excuse. Fear of change is killing them. It's not my job to fix, but I had hoped to motivate...
Just a question: Like lawyers, therapists generally don't have materials cost. Unlike lawyers, therapists don't ever offer pro bono services. Therapists save lives. Why don't therapists consider pro bono to be something they should offer?
Wallops Island has a rocket launch site (NASA, sub-orbital). I'm willing to guess it was a small rocket. I spent a long time living near Vandenberg space Force Base in California and that corkscrew cloud is a classic sign of a launch.
No one asked, and live post for us. I think you'd get followers. If you don't want a live post, you don't have to open the family doors. But think of the extra hours on Blue Sky you could get.
If he was working out of Chatsworth yes. But for Hollywood, he was right to dance with the name that brung him.
She, sorry.
I was going to say, nah just a bullshit story that he made up
Yup, and fully woke too
Feels like it might rain today. Not entirely sure. Batten down the hatches, put the storm jib up, and put two reefs in the main. Let's go gang. I love this place.
I gotta believe that is after Ms. L. Koi got done with him. Gritty left an empty and shattered shell of a mascot by a horny Pens fan. Like Gritty, PA has been rendered asunder. Sex tape leaked by Rangers, Devils, Isles coalition. Film available at your favorite fap site.
The curse of the permanently growing forehead. I feel your pain. Austin. Get used to wearing wide brimmed hats when you go back to Arizona. My profile pic is your future... I'm so sorry.
Central Coast California, near VSFB?
Canada qualifies as a very strange land. But I wouldn't try this there. Nor Mexico. Proximity to the United States of Assholes has taught those fine friendly folks what we're really about.
Back when I worked for Illinois Bell, yes a long time ago. The state and the company agreed to a process to collect undercharge pay phone calls by a uniform surcharge on residential lines. I'll simply say fit. Its administration wasn't kosher. But I love seeing pay phones. This will be a motif
An older ethnic Chinese woman had on a very simple and sedate blue and white dress. I would never say anything in the states for fear of offending a woman. But here I can honestly tell her that I love the dress. And I think she understands that. That means I love the dress. And no more
One of those wonderful things about being a stranger in a strange land is you are automatically afforded a little more latitude to make mistakes or be culturally insensitive in your comments and compliments.
It does seem to resemble my physique. If you stand it on either end. I prefer to put the belt down to reflect my skinny legs, then the handle can reflect my empty head. And like me, that will leave a mess
Better than not having a boat at all. Which is my situation
I took sailing lessons in South Africa from a Englishman. What was really confusing was that he was a Sandhurst graduate and later at Sandhurst instructor. Yet there he was on the water in Durban. What a strange, small, beautiful world it is
I was merely referring to Time on the water. Which is pretty much the best time there is
You're a friend of geist and more. That's all that matters to me. Although if you're from Cornwall, there's a good chance you've been a sailor. And that's another good thing as well.
What does that mean that either Ruben didn't make history or was not well behaved??
Perfectly acceptable. I have kin that travels from the US to spend part of the year on the Isle of Mull.
You can be right, you can do right, and you can try to win at any cost. If you have to pick one, my order is do, be, win. Unfortunately, Americans have learned the exact opposite priority because it's rewarded financially well in the short term that is.
Then that's where I will book my ticket. All three of us will be safe then. And even better, it probably means you're not a Rangers fan.
Well with Merle Haggard did with the town town, these evil bastards undid. Pure rotten evil.
What time does the Vuelta a Espana watch party start? Should I buy a ticket for Glasgow or Atlanta?
Hey, they may not do tracksuits very well but their cycling team uniform looks reasonably mid.
Your pit bosses know that every call comes from inside the house. They're the source of those constant screams of terror.
I lived in California under Jerry Brown and Gavin newsom. Gavin made some missteps earlier this year with his statements on trans and his right-wing podcast visits. But he's a fundamentally sound leader and I would support him. But I agree that JB is a better choice. Seeks out kindness.
Aftercare matters.

Unfortunately, the links don't work on a lot of these, but if you search for the title you might be able to find them online. These guys are really good. And Pens fans, just for you. hockeygods.com/videos
Oh yeah I had a dozen different ways to get from Westwood to Ventura on my weekly commute North to Lompoc. And every place I worked I had at least a dozen routes in and out of. And from home and work I had at least a dozen routes to and from Staples center to watch my beloved Kings
Just for you... youtu.be/t4EdNuHHUcY?...
youtu.be/BRBAX1I2aeo?...
I'm interpreting that as a good thing, that you adore The tragically Hip
Lived a block from the 405 & Santa Monica for 12 years. You didn't even watch all of it. Just one skit will give you the whole joke about driving in Los Angeles. "You take the 405 until you can't take it anymore... ...Ventura?"
Who loves you, babe? If I could find a Blue Rodeo or Cowboy Junkies song about hockey.... Or even Gordon Lightfoot. What can I say, I dated a Canadian for 18 years.

Most important thing is that you get well. Take care.
It has all of its roots in English. Well in England
Both have pucks.
