I think in order for those intrepreneurs to really make money, they need to be able to customize each doll for each man...they just assume all men like these same features and they don't
In reference to "Bobs" I didn't like the one & only experience I had...and don't plan on trying again....so see not all girls like "Bobs" either...I pretty much don't like "imatation" anything...so why should this be any different?
Japan makes robot girlfriend for lonely men She is big-busted, petite, very friendly, and she runs on batteries
By Chika Osaka
updated 11:13 a.m. ET, Tues., June. 17, 2008 TOKYO - She is big-busted, petite, very friendly, and she runs on batteries.
A Japanese firm has produced a 15-inch tall robotic girlfriend that kisses on command, to go on sale in September for around $175, with a target market of lonely adult men.
Using her infrared sensors and battery power, the diminutive damsel named "EMA" puckers up for nearby human heads, entering what designers call its "love mode."
"Strong, tough and battle-ready are some of the words often associated with robots, but we wanted to break that stereotype and provide a robot that's sweet and interactive," said Minako Sakanoue, a spokeswoman for the maker, Sega Toys.
"She's very lovable and though she's not a human, she can act like a real girlfriend."
EMA, which stands for Eternal Maiden Actualization, can also hand out business cards, sing and dance, with Sega hoping to sell 10,000 in the first year.
Japan, home to almost half the world's 800,000 industrial robots, envisions a $10-billion market for artificial intelligence in a decade.
Well, the girls have had their "BOBS" for years now. Time for the guys
I tell you the lady here is on a "kick butt" role this morning... Joanie, you're right if a person has to do what it takes to better themselves..but I have waitressed, in my more youthful years, and this man's "right on the money" people usually do not tip properly even for great service. I understand minimal tipping with buffet meals, only refilling the drink glasses, but sit down meals should receive the proper tip is the service was good.
Gettting out of here...got lots to do..driving for tour bus this evening down to Camp Lejune with some soldiers
I think Death...seems when someone we love dies we tend to remember the "good times" but when someone goes through a Divorce, seems the only memories each person remembers were the "hard times."
What's Your Opinion?
Off to nite nite...sorry, feeling kind of melancholy Been a Tough Day
Sorry to be getting back so late, just walked in...Ken, Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom about this situation. I know I can trust you completely about your knowledge & experiences over the years. I appreciate all your advice.
I know I could research this on the internet, but the very personal side of me would like to get the information straight from a person who knows what they're talking about, please
I have a million questions to ask, but will only list a couple, and would welcome any additional information, factual please, so I won't go on "hear say" to help someone close to me
1- Does the illness get worse to cope with as someone gets older and the meds have to be continually changed in some way either dosage or type?
2-Will a person eventually arrive at the point in his/her life that around the clock care is advisable because of not being able to function without harm to themselves or someone else?
3-How can I be of the most help in the care or friendship with this person?
4-Are there persons who should not live independent lives whose level of this disability impair rational thinking?
Like I said, millions more questions, but these questions and any reference material you can recommend would be greatly appreciated
Yes as bizarre as it may sound sometimes a "near death" experience can be a "blessing" for it really teaches us who & what is "truly important" to us
I am happy for you Serenity that you were given the opportunity to stay alive and with all of us your CS family , as you share your experience with others, you will make a difference in their lives that no one but one who has walked where you have walked could share.... ok, enough philosphy
I don't think some players are all that obvious right at your first meeting...it takes time to see through to their game....and their game can be for more things than just the obvious I know...I've met one of the really sneaky ones before...smooth, seemingly to care about me....yawta...yawta...then use me to the hilt but I caught on to his game
That when on a trip, at night all of the small bugs fly towards the lights but the larger ones end up at eye level on the driver side of the windshield?
My daughter's plans are to homeschool their children someday. (No grandchildren yet, yeah...it's still too early_) Her father did not support the idea when I presented it 20+ years ago. Now I wish I had followed my convictions. He did not make himself available to assist with their education too much, so it was left up to me anyway.
I may "fry" for my opinion, but it's what's in my heart
I would like for her to have her remaining days to be lived in quiet freedom as she resolves her brief future. Perhaps she will take whatever time she has left and do something to give back to those whom she devestated so many years ago. She can't bring back their loved ones, but perhaps forgiveness can be granted and everyone then can be "free."
I hope I was able to explain this well enough for all to understand
Peaches
If it were my family who were murdered so horribly, I would like the opportunity to forgive the person face-to-face to free both our spirits. Forgiveness, I believes gives as much or even more to the forgiver than it does to the forgiven. I do believe it would have taken me many many years to have forgiven this woman and her co-erts of their haneous crime, but I hope I could have by now come to forgiveness in my heart
Yes, you're right...inner peace is not affected by all the circumstances around you, but richly given when you place your complete trust in Him
One of my other favs is "contentment" which also is not affected for as Paul said in Philippians that he had learned to be "content" with much and with little; truly a God-given blessing as it does not come naturally to us.
Something for the guys :)
The roadtrip to your & Jackson's homestead is still in my heart, just got to get it on paper and the cash in the bankShelia
