There are two things in the world that I cannot eat without sauerkraut, reubens and brats. It's just not the same.Quote:

I have often wondered about this. And who says they don't have souls?
You know, they just might have souls. Every time you eat a mouthfull of peas, think about their little voices crying out in protest as you genocidally chew them to bits.

You're a hoot, JQ.
Yep, I gotta Jarhead at home. He swears he still has a 32 inch waist, but I've been buying 36 inch underwear
for him for years and ripping out the tags.
But a Marine nonetheless.
Of interesting historical note: Before being posted to Bridgeport, Husband was one of those Marines in Panama who
blasted Twisted Sister into Noriega's compound for 3 days.
Hugs, everyone. After struggling with fff.net for over an hour, I can post a farewell. Off to drop some things off at Goodwill, then to get pampered at my nail place.

In theory is not a soul the reining energy of a being? (For me) Everything is made up of living energy.
I've heard it said recently that it is better to focus less on what you can control or acquire and more on what you leave behind. Isn't that what people should be more preoccupied with?
On the fun side, no MSG. No Frankenbunnies, Bunnies are chased into nets three to four feet high strung anywhere from a quarter mile to two miles wide (depending on the size of the hunting party). Duch hunting is similar except the nets are strung on short poles above the water. The animals are chased into the nets and the real work starts.
Love the "Wok" pic Mav.
JQ- Maybe thats why the Killer Tomatoes were so ruthless.

Howdy, all!

I brought up the question on the last thread of what singular accomplishment have people been putting off for a long time that they still really want to do.
I don't think I've lived long enough to give a good answer to this one. There are lots of things I want to do - travel abroad (while helping people), um... learn about everything (and I do mean everything) I can - but, there aren't really any that I can say I've been putting off for a long time, mostly because I haven't had them as goals for very long (a year or two at most).

At what age would you allow your children to start dating, and would you set the age at different levels for boys and girls?
Oh, that's just another reason why I'm not having kids.
I think my views on hunting have been covered rather well by Mavourneen.

On the dating question, I don’t set specific age limits, boys or girls. Currently, I have three boys, oldest is 17. Though they are living with their mother at the moment, we have switched custody from time to time over the years. But I can’t see as I would be any different with a girl.
My mother raised me, single parent fashion; I have no siblings. She did so in a manner of mutual respect and trust and let me set the guidelines for when I was ready for things. Talk of birds and the bees, etc. She was exceedingly open on any topic and I never felt judged or mis-trusted, which means that I probably shared more with her than most teenage boys would have and I always felt as if I had someone I could talk to about issues when I had them.
I happily gave away my virginity at 13 (She was 19 and through an earlier accident, unable to bear children). Had a rather active teenage sex-life, though quietly and unobtrusively so and to judge from what I’ve heard, not over-active in any way. I didn’t get anyone pregnant till I was 23 and in a relationship, never had even a case of the crabs. I think the respect and trust my mother showed me was translated into a desire to be cautious on my part and to take to heart what I felt were the important things she imparted to me with regards to love, relationships and sex. Mainly because I wanted to preserve the trust and respect I received from her.
So far, this same idea has seemed to work with my own children. I offer advice when asked. Impart my own ideas without stressing them as the end-all-be-all of morals or ethics and offer trust and respect to them and their own sense of when they are ready to explore something for themselves.
I’m not positive as to the sexual activity of my sons, though I’m fairly certain two of them have at least experimented in this regard. No one has gotten anyone pregnant. No social diseases I am aware of and they seem happy and well-adjusted, as far as I can ascertain, emotionally, socially, sexually.
As far as hunting goes, I used to bow hunt wild pig in Florida, where I am from and Georgia, after I moved there in the Army. After hunting people, in the Army however, I found that pig just wasn’t the sport it used to seem. Of course, killing people is no fun, since they are usually trying to do the same to you at that point and whoever wins, someone loses.
However, paint-balling rocks and is sufficient to satisfy my desire for challenge in this regard. Pigs are kinda dumb and easy to catch. Though, using a bow sometimes makes it more interesting. Being charged by a pissed off boar tends to wake one up rather quickly.

Cuttin' tags, huh? I have a ponderable fer next week about Truth in Relationships, and yes I know it's been done before.
Blasting Noriega with Twisted Sister!! Awesome!! God, three days? I think I would have left...

Jimi love - I literally laughed so loudly that several passing teachers asked what on earth I was reading that was so funny. I shall never eat peas again without laughing:)
NV- dang I was kinda hoping for Frankenbunnies, but I see and thanks for omitting the parts that'd make me cry:) HUGS and much love sweety. Enjoy your weekend.
Mav- yeah I do the tag ripping thing too....they don't need to know what size they really are as long as they are happy:)...mind you now I really really want cheez its..argh!
All and sundry thanks and as I am now stuck with the weekend parade of houseguests ( out to dinner tonight with friends, brother in law arrives late tonight to stay through Sunday afternoon whereupon we will then go to dinner at parents for newly arrived baby sis then return home to prepare for MisterG's best friend who's on a 2 week from Iraq and staying with us to arrive on Monday) so long story short ( too late I know) I won't be on this weekend at all:( so big hugs to everyone and I will see you Monday if I haven't run away to hide at Magda's:)

Try not to stress too much MSG. I know family gets the best of us sometimes. If you need a flyin' buddy I'd love to run to the down under and disappear for a bit.
JQ- What about machines on a rampage.
ADD: Don't think I ever ran into ya KG. Thanks for the input. I like having others to communicate their thoughts on hard subjects better left to explain by people who've been there.

Ah, the endless "....Into Mordor" pics. 
Should this continue much longer I'll be forced to start loading the "Boromir's Obession with Catapaults" series of gifs, which could get nasty.

Meh. I am way late to this thread cuz of the Hell Day I had at work. (I really had no idea that work Going Corporate and becoming A Big Company meant that I had to attend so many meetings that I would no longer have time to actually accomplish anything important.)
SO, this is going to be one long-ass post, my Impondery Friends. Sorry!! Gives the scroll wheel exercise, though, ne?

This past Sunday at aprx. 0545, I snuck up on and chased down a doe, bringing it to rest
ing ferrets. A deer? Amazing. I would have loved to witness that. How did you catch her?? *awe*And regarding your question that lead to your tale: there are so many things I want to do and accomplish, that I can’t think of one that actually stands out among the many, both tangible and intangible. I want to achieve happiness and contentment, I want to do everything to the best of my abilities, I want to live with passion, I don’t want to let myself down; these may be unreachable, but there’s no point in not trying, ne?
Quote:Honestly, I only find it vaguely insulting because I look down upon the stereotypical behavior typically associated with the term. It implies things, in my mind, that I detest. Am I capable of girliness? Oh, hell yeah. But never when it's important. I've done too much and fought too hard to be carelessly thrown down into that category by any ignorant bint. (And that last sentence is specifically and solely aimed at my previous boss, whose ignorance knew no bounds, who tried every chance to belittle me for being a girl, and then who sued me for leaving his company.

Re: Hunting
I’m a firm believer that it’s detrimental to humanity to forget how (and why) to do all the things that got us to where we are now. To become so complacent with current technology that you forget how to live without it is dangerous. Just think about all the “lost arts” and lost technol
