Well I believe country #1 on your list may have just disappeared today. Oh, not technically because it still sits on the map, but there is (according to CNN) only 1 Western reporter left and he is trying to slip away before the new authorities (not a govt.) notice him and put him in a new video. The supposed cease fire lasted only a few hours. Just long enough for ISSA and Al Qaieda to move more troops up before taking over the palace.
I also think what country is on your list has a lot to do with what color is your passport, and maybe also what other country visa stamps are in it.
Since I am American and once upon a time I was military, I would add Lebanon to the list. I seem to recall a former Marine not too long ago who assumed that being married to a girl from there would protect him when he visited. Nope.
I like walking through woods and fields. Therefore I will avoid Cambodia, Kosovo and Serbia, as well as the woods outside of Moscow. It is absolutely amazing how long those old land mines and other unexploded ordinance stay live.
Decades ago (50?) I was in a portion of Italy where portions of the beach were still fenced off because of the old WW2 landmines still buried under the sand there. While we were there some other tourists decided that was silly. So they climbed over the barbed wire and walked way, way over there, put out a blanket and went swimming and pretty much had a good time far away from anyone else. That evening we were told when the man was coming out of the water he found one of those 20+ something year old salt water corroded land mines and it worked just fine and he died and the woman with him had been wounded too. Here in America every other year we read new stories about souvenir hunters digging up old artillery shells fired in our Civil War back in the 1860s, from some stream bed or something, bringing it home and either trying to dry it out in front of a fireplace or (the last one I read) using a hammer and chisel to try to knock the mud off. I figure if a shell from 150 years ago can still blow up your house, something only 70 or less years old is also probably still quite deadly.
I have been to Haiti twice. In Papa Doc's time also in Baby Doc's time. Incredible poverty is what I remember. Today? I don't know.
The point is biological. At the very least, if the male doesn't get attracted or feel stimulated by the idea, nothing much happens. Frequent copulation is more likely to produce off spring than once every 8 months copulation. So you need the male to have thoughts of frequent. Agreement that cultural standards enter in there too.
Being dull and boring is much safer when one lives in interesting times. Which we sadly do.
Here in the US we call the water suitable only for toilet matters 'gray water.' Often some people have been known to be careless how that is disposed of or used before disposal. In some places we used to just dump used grey water into our lakes, streams and rivers. Only after the fish pretty much all died did folks realize this may not have been smart. Sometimes factories used river water to flush poisons off machines or in processing before dumping it back into the river. This too was dumb. It took a long time for Americans to realize today's grey water becomes tomorrow's drinking water. So now we have sewerage treatment plants and healthy laws regarding what can be dumped into the water. They are expensive, but perhaps that is better than children with birth defects and people dying of cancers, no? The factories moved to countries where the governments do not yet care. Eventually they will, but not until many will cry. Once the problem is realized it can take 40 years to begin a reversal and have naturally clean water. The greater the problem, the longer the solution will take. This is why I speculate clean safe drinking water may become valuable. Possibly even worth fighting for.
We agree Mimi's cupcakes are numbered, but I note most of the ones I have gotten are odd. Has anyone ever seen one with an even number?
I know once she disclosed a stash of them stored under her refrigerator. She also confirmed they were decades old. I suspect she has large amounts of them stored in secret places. It is perhaps possible those are the ones with even numbers. While that would perhaps make sense with me getting odd ones and her keeping the even ones, I have to wonder about the revelation that the ones she stores, she stores for years. So I submit that while the numbers on them may be even, the fact the even cupcakes go straight into secret long term storage vaults, may all by itself suffice to make those even cupcakes, a little bit odd.
I know there was one befor me because I saw one other double message but that one was in a different format. Who the other message was intended for, why the secret speak I do not know. That other message was in a harder to read format.
What I now know is not all are here for fun. I am, but some just come to read and write. See what they see and reply. So clever the others are. LoL, reinvent a very old wheel and see or write secret talk. No profile needed to read it.
What I see as the wind of change is not just the courage of the victim in coming forward, but also a growing legal trend of the court systems to say, if you are going to do this kind of thing, then you will pay hard cash for it too. Suddenly the punishment stings.
Curious about this post, some are. If not observant, then you will never get it, you will always wonder and wish you could know what, and why, the others write what what they do here, but sadly I will not be telling you what I was, or am saying I have perceived in a blog or two writing clearly is often done to carry thoughts about one thing. But what is it really we write about? What is the true purpose of the message? Is it really what we say the name of a blog is, or is it designed to speak of something else entirely? Words can be an answer or perhaps a very strange animal lurks within the paragraph.
Actually my wife would have instantly. So this is a good wife candidate filter mechanism I guess. We used to sometimes talk like that in front of third parties. We found it maritally useful.
The rain is very heavy today. I remembered to set out cat food. Perhaps later we can go to the movies. I will go in to the mall and see what is playing. Here I will fold the umbrella. While in the mall we shopped. She saw a hat in one of the stores and she bought it. My opinion is, it is too late to see a movie today. But maybe if we come back to the mall, we can see it then.
I propose giving each of the warriors one of the new Gladius swords and putting them in a pit while the rest of us stand around and bet on the winner. We will lower a ladder into when only one is still on their feet. If both fall, no ladder will be lowered and instead further warriors will go into a new pit and the old one filled in.
The killings in Paris are NOT the result of a cartoon. Rather instead they are the result of someone giving some murderers an AK 47. When we treat it that way and drop the religious mumbo jumbo, it simply becomes a bunch of mad dog killers who need to be rounded up and disposed of.
That is interesting. The TB test is common and available here too. A skin test. I had it once or twice when young. Noting also many false positives are possible as Sarcoid will generate a positive result and in the 1930s through the 50s many were classified as having TB when what they actually had was non-infectious Sarcoid.
Regarding dentists. I would just pay another dentist and go get the second opinion. The goal of modern dentistry is to sell dentures, so I predict removal of the teeth and replacing them with dentures will be the suggestion rather than fixing the problem.
Snookum, she drank 62 bottles of alcohol. Most were harmless. Ranging from Tullamore Dew (Irish Whiskey) to Inca Pisco. So far as is known, only that one may have been bad, but it was enough.
LoL, Jim, you would think so. I know both of them. I asked the sick one, before she went on the trip and left you in the house, didn't she tell you not to touch those bottles?
Answer; Yes, but she should have told me they were poisonous. I am like, why? Why wasn't it enough you as a grown adult had been told do whatever you want while watching the house, just don't unlock the cabinet or touch those bottles? LoL, now she is mad at me too.
I think by the time CNN reported the change of rules, all of the spiking has already happened. In truth I think it had real consequences. Products made in Switzerland will be more expensive from here on because of the new uncoupled exchange rates. I am not sure why it was done.

RE: Top 10 countries not to visit b4 u die
Well I believe country #1 on your list may have just disappeared today. Oh, not technically because it still sits on the map, but there is (according to CNN) only 1 Western reporter left and he is trying to slip away before the new authorities (not a govt.) notice him and put him in a new video. The supposed cease fire lasted only a few hours. Just long enough for ISSA and Al Qaieda to move more troops up before taking over the palace.I also think what country is on your list has a lot to do with what color is your passport, and maybe also what other country visa stamps are in it.
Since I am American and once upon a time I was military, I would add Lebanon to the list. I seem to recall a former Marine not too long ago who assumed that being married to a girl from there would protect him when he visited. Nope.
