ok, i went to get my hair cut yesterday, and i told her i wanted to do something different.
i've had it long, then colored it blonde, spiked it, and now it's short.
she said how about bald?
Hey Puternut,
I tried it one time and felt like a total idiot. I'm over 52 and still do not have grey hair. I had all this hair and whacked it off to the tune of clear shoe polish and a snap rag. Snap! I was defiinatly not kewl.
I chose to make another area on my body bald and I'm glad I did. What a relief. No more jerking and tugging trying to hide the motions from public view.

cnn/time poll shows 51% against the war.
why do you pro war people hate america?
america: love it or leave it.
Hello IronGland,
In my book and my humble opinion it's not an issue of "love it or leave it." I grew up during Vietnam and refused induction in 1969 (being a good little dub). The dumb asses of this country lost the war Vietnam and Korea as they are doing in Iraq. This countries intellegence absolutly sucks, WOMD? I feel ashamed sometimes to be an American. Policies and decisions from our government are powered by money, nothing more, nothing less, not the "Pleadge of Aliegence of the United States of America" or the waving of U.S. flags.
Take your "Patriotism" ( I use that term loosely) and live by it if you want to or live by the reality of events that have unfolded in this Nations history............It flat sucks.

0. Over 50,000 military personel died there
on another tread this point came up.
scotsman posted a comment about a certain poster being gay, and i do not know or care if this is true or not, and in conflict over the fear of dying at armageddon for this "sin".
do any of you fear the big a because of your lifestyle?
It was October of 1975. I was 24 years old and D/F. I visited the homestead in Kentucky which was a shack on a hillside and walked outside looking up at the clouds. Great fear ran through me as I expected meteors of fire to decend from the heavens and burn me to a crisp.I felt ashamed and guilty somehow.
After reading "Crisis of Conscience" and the fabulous posts of this and other boards, I became free of fear from the Big "A". The sad part is I was in fear of it for over 40 years, living to die one day at a time.

do you believe that telling a lie is generally no big deal?
do you try not to lie?
i know some that will speak the truth no matter how much it might hurt.
I, for one, prefer to do the little side step like the Mayor in the movie "Best Little WhoreHouse in Texas".........."Honey do you like my hair long or short?" Well sweetheart, you would look great even if you were bald so it really doesn't matter to me, just wear your hair the way you want.
I like her hair long.

some of you know that we live way out in the country, deep in the woods of northern mn.
one of the great things out here is the abundant wildlife that we see everyday.
last week we had a huge porcupine in the yard (which our four year old calls a hamster.....lol).
One more thing, my fellow birder! I built and put up a bat house up about 22 feet high. It can hold about 300 bats.
Now, I enjoy my flying friends day and night. It's quite a sight to see the bats come out and consume the bugs in my yard.
Regards,
Elmer

Dear Scootergirl,
This little Palm Wabler visited my home for about an hour. It pooped on one of computers, but I didn't care.
Happy birding

Hello Scootergirl,
Great Pics. I especially liked the "Rose Breasted Grosbeck". We have had two pairs of them in our yard here in Florida.
I've been birding for over 25 years and all over the country. The best sighting I ever had was in Montana just off Logans Pass. I was in an Alpine Meadow, looked up and way up there, I spotted two Golden Eagles. They circled and circled each other then they came together.
With bodies close they fell together like a rock. About 50 feet from meadow they broke and soared in opposite directions. I've studied how they mate, but to witness it first hand brought me to my knees. I wept in joy.
Thanks for the pics and happy birding......
Elmer

Very funny! Caught me off guard as well.
It reminded me of what I told my "Second X Wife".........
She wanted to go on a "Second Honeymoon". I told her I would do so under one condition...
I said "This time, I'm going lock myself in the bathroom and cry about how big it is!"

i saw my family this past weekend while visiting my home state for a few days.
its almost comical at this point how terrified my own siblings are of me.
like they cant even look me in the eye when they talk ....its so sad.
Hi Flower,
The worst part of it all is the fact they are afraid of you due to the mind domination of the borg. Sad, but true. I felt "inferior" to my siblings for many years because I was caught up into what the borg taught me. Not any more!
Currently, my sibling dubs are afraid of me and the "real truth" and I like it that way. It's the power of knowledge many do not comprehend. I will endevour to persevere through the conflict. I will not win the fight , however I will stand my ground.

how many of you balmpots have ever had the travelling bug before?
how close have you come to just simply dumping everything, donning your backpack and making off for new horizons?
perhaps you have already caught the travelling bug and already seen many exciting new places, new, strange to you cultures and experienced the life on the road, on a minimal budget.. can you tell us where you would like to go, where you have been and any stories about your travels?
Well, Celtic,
I have been a resident of the following States:
Illinois (twice) , Kentucky (three times), Ohio, Califonia (three times), Iowa, Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland, Indiana, Florida (three times) and found I wanted to reside in Florida.
I backpacked in North Carolina for years. I used to hire a boat at Fontana Lake Dock to take me to trout streams in "The Smokies" and would stay for a weeks at a time. My favorate place in this country to backpack, flyfish and bird watch is Glacier Park, Montana. The spectible I seen before me at the park made me feel smaller than an ant. I caught and released more trout there than I did in Alaska.
My two cents.......
Elmer
