Just make sure Mark Arbour isn't around..... snuggling and cuddling inevitably lead to sex in his stories

You misspelled it. It is Stanfurd. and it isn't even a really a university, they say so right in their name, Leland Stanfurd Junior University. See, they admit it! A junior university. Go Bears.

You have to sag then so people can see it.

This was the next to last Ugly Betty and it doesn't seem to have been discussed here. Ugly Betty was one of the best TV shows in recent memory and beautifully treated Justin Suarez's teen angst.

I would be interested in the methodology used to get the information. The numbers on the sexual activity of teens, especially the boys, seems low and out of sync with other surveys on sexual behaviors and with what I've observed anecdotally in my exposure to teens. In fact, the age at which teens become sexually active seems to drop every year.

If I were young again it would be Taylor from The Ordinary Us and Hello Stupid.

I think TMZ is just wrong for the invasion of privacy that they foist on all the celebrities, not just Bieber, but all of them. And I will go with Libera for fantastic young voices.

Like this pretty much.

To his Coy Mistressby Andrew Marvell Had we but world enough, and time, This coyness, lady, were no crime. We would sit down and think which way To walk, and pass our long love's day; Thou by the Indian Ganges' side Shouldst rubies find; I by the tide Of Humber would complain. I would Love you ten years before the Flood; And you should, if you please, refuse Till the conversion of the Jews. My vegetable love should grow Vaster than empires, and more slow. An hundred years should go to praise Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze; Two hundred to adore each breast, But thirty thousand to the rest; An age at least to every part, And the last age should show your heart. For, lady, you deserve this state, Nor would I love at lower rate. But at my back I always hear Time's winged chariot hurrying near; And yonder all before us lie Deserts of vast eternity. Thy beauty shall no more be found, Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound My echoing song; then worms shall try That long preserv'd virginity, And your quaint honour turn to dust, And into ashes all my lust. The grave's a fine and private place, But none I think do there embrace. Now therefore, while the youthful hue Sits on thy skin like morning dew, And while thy willing soul transpires At every pore with instant fires, Now let us sport us while we may; And now, like am'rous birds of prey, Rather at once our time devour, Than languish in his slow-chapp'd power. Let us roll all our strength, and all Our sweetness, up into one ball; And tear our pleasures with rough strife Thorough the iron gates of life. Thus, though we cannot make our sun Stand still, yet we will make him run.

Actually the old GA thread mentioned you by name. Gunn High School Sings Out To Drive Away Phelps and WBC M. Arbour's story locale in Palo Alto was in the news 3/30/10

It was in GA six months ago. Gunn & Lowell HS

Well this is an old topic. GA Soapbox

I am a Giordano's guy myself.... or Gino's East. Lou Malnati will do in a pinch. I think a great pizza starts with the crust. It doesn't matter how good your sauce or toppings are if the crust is bad. I've never had a thin crust in CA as good as the ones in NYC.... Lombardi's, Famous Original Ray's, Patsy's, Totonno's, Grimaldi's, even Denino's.... they make it worthwhile to ride the Staten Island Ferry for....

Looking for areas that are within an hour of Philly or DC, I am not sure you'll really get "small town" the same way you might in Wyoming or Iowa or even CO when the nearest big city is three hours away. If it was me, I'd move to Annapolis in a heart beat, maybe Fairfax or Oakton. You will get away from crime, not necessarily congestion, but you will find pretty enlightened people too.

It is funny how things shift your perspective. My friend whose dad died, we used to talk every other day or so and the conversations usually started with "OMG, you can't believe what this idiot just did...." It usually involved being cut off by someone while driving, someone in the store being stupid, or someone at the office, but every time it flashed into my head this week to call him it made me think how totally trite it all is and life is far too short to let stupidity raise your blood pressure. He spent a good part of his week at the crime scene, removing personal effects of his fathers, family papers, papers relevant to the family, meeting with the detectives, meeting with the assistant DA, trying to keep his little sister together and planning a memorial/wake. We have talked and he is going through the motions, getting done what he has to get done, trying to keep things together in his personal and professional life too. When he stops being busy will he crash? Who knows. He is pretty stable in general.... now, after years of therapy to deal with his parents divorce.... I just hope he doesn't rush back with his ex who has been around to support him through this, but it ended badly last time and I don't think the tiger has changed his stripes. Matt is trying to understand mu moodiness and I guess I am too. Stupid things fire me up, I should be stopping to smell the roses and I just want to kick them.

Bleh.... stop by your dealer's, pick up some bud, smoke and then go to Pizza Pete's in the Fun Zone for greasy pizza..... the tourists will bother you a lot less.

The famous "Wedge" in Newport Beach has probably killed and paralyzed more body surfers and boogie boarders than any place on the west coast. This picture shows why. 20 feet of raw power breaking in 18 inches of water. Amat victoria curam.

Mmmmmm it is like asking for a sparkling wine vs. Champagne. All Champagnes are sparkling wines, not all sparkling wines are Champagne. Ditto for Bourbon and whiskey.

How about this one..... 14 year old boy stabs the 13 year old mother of their 18 month old baby.... you do the math.
