Nebraska just passed a law that teenagers cannot be on a cell phone while driving. Automatic suspension of driving priviledges.
Personally to me, though, I can multitask enough that I can talk and drive at the same time and have automated features. Voice activated dialing, speaker phone or hands free device. To me, its no different than talking to the person next to me in the passenger seat.
Of course, I have known a few people who were all over the road when they used their cell. Its kind of like walking & chewing bubblegum, not everyone can do it.
If we could choose who we love, I wouldn't be in the mess that I am in right now. I definitely wouldn't have choose to fall for this guy, despite the fact he's a sweetheart, but life had other plans.
I've been an organ donor for about 5 years now. Saving a life is always important. I'm not going to need my organs when I die, so why not give them to those who really need them?
Sidney Poitier. After all he was the first black actor to win the Academy Award for Best Actor (Lillies of The Field, 1963); I love that movie. Plus an honorary award for extraordinary performances.
"The trouble is not really in being alone, it's being lonely. One can be lonely in the midst of a crowd" Raven to Mikhail in Christine Feehan's "Dark Prince".
I don't mind being alone. I enjoy it sometimes. It's being lonely that's hard.
Gangster Rap. I get bored with all the songs about B**ches and Ho's and popping a cap in the po-pos, smoking blunts and drinking 40s. One or two songs, but come on a whole album dedicated to these things????
I'm very diverse when it comes to music, but thats one thing you won't find in my collection.
I wouldn't want to do it. Have you ever seen the movie Forever Young with Mel Gibson? Or Demolition Man with Stallone. Both had cryo done and when they came back everything was different.
If you think about how much life has changed in the last decade, not to mention the last quarter of a century and longer, if you came back and had normal brain functions, how would you survive? You'd have to be re-education on everything. Think how much computers, vehicles, and things will have changed.
I haven't seen anything that could be classified as a UFO. I have always said, however, it would be an awfully big waste of space and arrogant of us to assume our planet is the only one to have intelligent life forms.
I prefer men that are taller than I am. I'm a little taller than 5'7" and wear a lot of heels, which puts me around 5'9" to 5'10" depending on the shoes.
Most the guys I have dated have been about 5'10" to 6'. The last guy I dated though was 5'8". He didn't mind that with heels that I was taller than him and it didn't bother me either.
I have a tendency to say exactly what I think. The boss man told me that I need to learn to say things to myself first, lol. Sometimes what I mean doesn't come out the way I mean it.
BUT I am true to my world always. If I say I'll do something, I do it.
I have long nails, but I don't usually paint them. If I do, its usually a clear polish.
When I bartended, I had acrylic overlays put on them. I got tired of always busting my nails when picking up kegs or opening bottles and the freezer doors. They were strong and pretty, but when I finally removed the overlays, they did some damage to my natural nails.
Omaha has laws that you can only smoke in bars that have Keno in them and not if they serve food. So my question is, if you're going to be in a bar and poisoning your liver, eating greasy bar food & clogging your arteries, who the heck cares if you're poisoning your lungs at the same time???
Well, at least one "No smoking in here" bar cares about the other half of the customers. Outside on their patio, they have a HUGE firepit. You can stand outside and not freeze. Right now, you step out the door and it feels like summer from the heat the firepit puts out.
Couture is my favorite. Plus he's really nice in person. He doesn't have that STUCK UP attitude some have gotten (Umm, Ken Shamrock, "I'll sign an autograph for $15 on one of my pics you buy here or $25 on something you've brought"). Couture is an awesome fighter and didn't let it go to his head.
I used to get them all the time, but grew out of them. I kept a small stack of brown paper lunch bags as I would start hyperventilating. Trying to visualize something calming helps. I picture the beach in Corpus Christi. Thinking about how soft the sand was, the smell of the ocean air, the warmth of the breeze. Slowly, I start to calm down and relax. Try something to that effect and see if it helps.
Will be watching. My brothers both fight MMA, so I've gotten big into UFC. Someday, you'll be seeing my little brothers fighting on there! They are on their way there already!
I love all the new changes; especially being able to type in color. I think with time everyone will get used to the new format and it will get easier to understand. I've offered assistance to those having difficulties.
I do love the idea of moving the videos over to their own page. I noticed that A LOT of people have been trying out the video feature a lot so there were several pages to go through to get to the regular posts.
So, thank you Mods! The changes are great in my opinion.
HAHA, I saw a lot of that at the Aerosmith concert I went to. Especially 4, 9, 10 (well they were wearing swimsuit tops to an indoor concert w/ mini skirts!)....
Negative: It's snowing like crazy outside (UCK! Hate snow!) Positive: Keeps snowing = Tons of snow = inclimate weather day = No work = EXTRA day off!!! WOOO HOOO!
I get carded for cigarettes and alcohol on a consistant basis. About 6 months ago, I had to sign the "book" (you know the state book that says "I certify I am X years old" and fill out your address and DL # to prevent a minor getting caught with tobacco/alcohol by police and the store getting fined for selling it) for buying a bottle of UV Blue.
I don't think I look too young to purchase cigarettes. Alcohol, well, maybe. Usually people guess I am between 24-26. Since I'm (GASP!) 20 12 (Shhh, that means 32), I won't complain. I love getting ID'd.
Plus mom looks likes she's in her early to mid-40s, instead of her late 50s, so its a blessing!
Just a quick add on to my reply. When I do go out with my friends without her, I get the third degree: "Did you have fun? Was there drinking? What did you guys do? What time did you get home?", etc, etc, etc. I feel like I'm in a cop movie sometimes getting the third degree....
JLB, I completely understand how you feel. My best friend is like that and some days she drives me absolutely crazy. Here's my scenario: About a year ago, I didn't have many female friends. Guy to Girl ratio was like 7-1.
During that time, she rarely wanted to go out. If I wanted to hang out with her, I'd have to go to the Karaoke bar she works at on Saturdays. We never went out to do anything, despite my attempts to get her to go to an occassional movie or shopping or lunch, etc.
Now, I'm very good friends with a large group of girls from work. There's about 8 girls that I've become really close with and they always want to go out and do things and it's always a blast when we do hang out.
About the time, I started posting pics to my photo album from all the fun nights that us girls have had. Suddenly, she all of the sudden starts calling me left and right, text messaging me constantly.
She's met the girls I'm friends with now and apparently feels threatened by them. She constantly hints, when I say, "Oh I'm going to Angie's" or "Crystal and I are going to do this" that she wants to go with. Sometimes that's fine, other times its not depending on the situation.
A few times she's been overly clingy to my friends. Constant messaging as she does me; driving them crazy as well. She is trying so hard to win them over. She's always asking me if they like her. An example being, Friday. Myself, my friend, and two of my buddies from work were all going to have a movie night. One came down with a virus, the other had her sink blow a pipe. So both had to cancel. She asked me, "Do you think they cancelled because I was going to be there?". ARGH! It's enough to drive a person insane.
She's overly clingy with me now and driving me nuts! I've talked about it with her. She's the one I asked to go with me to my surgery with. She's the one that I tell everything too. She won't admit it, but everyone can see that she's afraid that she's going to lose me to the other girls. I love her to death, but I know she's got other friends that I don't feel threatened by at all.
So, long story short (too late), I feel your pain JLB!
