Lil..i've seen those infomercials too...and i could be absolutely wrong...but wasn't that you there with the string of purple beads tied around your waist???....
You have to admit...if these people were making a living by selling these tapes...they weren't selling it to each other...there must have been a market for it...I wonder who was buying them???
Hi Izzy...please don't feel to justify your choice of reading material...
Really i'm hoping that by some listing different magazines it will encourage someone else to perhaps pick it up or even find a magazine about topics they always wondered about but didn't know existed...
My daughter is doing a project in school right now which is where i got this idea for a thread...
If we had to fill a "time capsule" of events that have taken place in the last 10 years that really impacted your life, what would you enclose in that capsule for some future generation to find...and really know what life was like "back then"
I still say there is a reason they are called "children" and we are called "adults/parents"...
Even if i did get my backside whipped by my mom (my dad never did the disciplining)...she would have protected me to the very end...because that's what "adults/parents" do for their children...
I mean our parents could say the same thing...that we had different things to worry about than they did...that is what happens with an everchanging world...but they protected us none the less...
Men seem to think that women have a "network" going (and yes we do..) we have each other to lean on to get advice from and to share things with....they don't have the same...
So here is what i propose...
This thread is primarily for the men (women will jump in with our two cents...its what we do...so please expect it!)...I would like to see what questions the men would like to ask each other or discuss with each other...what kind of comments they feel they can only tell another man (because only another "guy" will understand)...
And ladies please...even if they post something offensive to the female species...do not bash them for it...this is a MANTALK thread.. we are only here to make observations...
I agree wholeheartedly with you Burt that these things do happen...I think what we are offended by here is that there are those who are making a living off of someone's "indiscretion"...and children at that who have a whole life ahead of them with perhaps something like this hiding in the closet...
We've all been there...we've all done that (at some point in our life) we were just lucky in our day that this type of "taping" didn't exist and what was done in "vegas" stayed in "vegas"...our children are not doing anything we didn't do...but they have more to worry about than we did back then!
Thanks babe...I had actually only came on to post to your thread about Rob...but then i got mail while posting and had to reply...and then it didn't make sense to hide my profile again...that would just make me a drama queen huh??...
Burt and Izzy (good morning guys!!) if grown people do foolish and regretful things when they are on "vacation" or "drinking"...can you imagine what "children" do when in the same situation (remember there is a reason they are called "children" and not "adults") so yes it is exploiting them because they are not in full recognizance at that time....they are having fun and everything seems like a great idea....Would you care to see one of your kids on there?
Having my first baby and becoming a mother for the first time...
The realization that i was responsible for this little scrap of humanity was the biggest turning point of my life...up until then I had always been number one to myslef...
One author who seems to be able to do all that for me is Christopher Moore...he can take the most serious of subjects and just make it so hilarious....
Just so everyone knows...I didn't say i was leaving the forums I said i wasnt posting anymore threads...
I don't want to be a drama queen...I've just been very disillusioned by some people that i cared for and respected...I just don't feel like being on the forums right now which is why my profile is not visible...I will come back when i've had some time off...
I have made many wonderful friends on here....
BTW...just from the posts...I can see who my real friends were...I guess i am guilty of "Can't see the forest for the trees"...::hug:

For some reason I have gotten the distinct feeling of late that when i post a thread for discussion...it is automatically assumed i am speaking about me or my personal experience...while some may be..the majority is not... Most of my questions were based on books i read..and i usually read about 3 per week...and discussions with family, friends and acquaintances which raises these questions...
We were asked by CS staff to try to stick to forum topics that can be discussed (which is what a forum is for...)and i thought i was doing that... I have had lots of emails from people questioning me, my integrity and so on and so forth...I just don't understand the mentality behind this...its like the forums cannot function if there is not some sort of ruckus going on somewhere...
I may or may not have lost "friends" due to this...however i can now say i don't know what kind of friend who really knew me would buy into this...
So i'm just saying that i will not be posting any more threads...but thanks to all the people that did post on the threads i started I very much enjoyed reading the comments and input....
and i will once again say...this was a general topic...it is not a personal experience...so i hope everyone's answer is just based on the question and how THEY would feel in this situation....
...."wikked are you talk about the friend or the friend's new interest as being better for you?"...
Please see above note Irish....I'm not talking about me at all...
Ummmm...yeah...it doesn't surprise me that you're not afraid of anything in a relationship...because really in your case that would mean you just being afraid of yourself huh???
I like the smell of fresh apples...especially in the fall I like the smell of my lavender and chamomile baby powder I like the smell of wood when its just been cut
And yes i like the smell of that too...but i'm not going there!
