Happy Birthday

Potty mouth

Sorry I can

I agree 100% with you Graeme. I over medicated myself to a point I really didn

When my son was killed my doctor put me on Valium. He said I could take two to three 10-milligram tablets a day depending on if I needed to. Two or three wasn't enough so I found two others doctors who also prescribed them to me. At that time I was up to about eight 10 milligrams a day. Then when the doctors cut me off I actually would take the three-day cruise from Long Beach to Ensenada Mexico, walk off the ship and hit about 4 Pharmacy's where I would purchase $500 to $600 worth of valium and simply walk back on the ship and go home. I did that several times and ended up taking 80 milligrams a day for almost two years. Little did I know Valium was one of the most addicting drugs you can take. One day I just decided I didn't need them anymore so I just stopped taking them. About four days without the Valium I got what I thought was the flue. After a week of still being sick I finally went to the doctor. I was honest with him when he asked questions about my symptoms and if I had been taking medication, when I told him about the Valium he was surprised I was still alive and told me I was going through withdrawals. He had to actually put me back on Valium to slowly wean me off the medication. The withdrawals lasted close to 30 days and was one of the most horrible agonizing pain you could possible imagine.

I love sushi

I love going fishing, I'll bring my pole over next time

I would say a weak person either lacks self-confidence or is dominated by the "emotion" of fear of others and situations. An emotional person is one who demonstrably lets emotions take precedence over restraint or intellect, especially in situations of joy or sadness. It takes discipline and self-determination to overcome one's weak character traits, and being emotional is an easy way out, especially when used as a tool.

Happy Birthday Bob

Well I

Rape is obviously based on gender (most of the time). But would they look at the rapist life and say "he's had successful relationships with women so therefore he doesn't hate women and therefore it isn't a hate crime". Do they do the same with other hate crimes? What if someone attacked someone because they were Hispanic? Would they look at the attacker and say "he's has Hispanic friends so this isn't a hate crime"? How is the line drawn between a "crime" and "hate crime"? Federal law currently doesn't cover gender or sexual orientation as a protected class in hate crime laws and every state has their own definition of what is or isn't a hate crime. In many states it would be a hate crime to paint a swastika on the side of a Synagogue but there is no provision for hate crimes to include crimes against a person.

They all loved you

You know Graeme, when I was held in contempt of court during a civil trail in which the victim was suing her rapist for punitive damages. The victim was a 46-year-old woman, the rapist was 24. The judge made a stupid comment in front of the jury and stated

Two more hotties on the forum, Luc and Jack

Sometimes I catch myself being a pessimist. Pessimism is not a bad thing at all. Sure a pessimistic person such as myself expects the worst possible outcome of situations, but subconsciously I'm taking steps to avoid the worst. At least when something goes wrong I'm not upset about it, it was expected. Right? On the other hand though, if a situation turns out good in the end I'm left with a wonderful surprised feeling. More people should look into this and understand the outcome of it. I was brought up by parents who imbued me with the message, "Chicken little, and the sky is falling". As such, I always imagined worst-case scenarios, and then was pleased when the world did not fall in on me. As I matured, I found though, that this way of thinking is counterproductive, wastes time and emotional energy, and serves no useful purpose. I have done a 180, and now see the glass as "half full", instead of "half empty" as before. I must admit though, that if I don't catch myself, I STILL have a slight tendency to expect the worst! What are your thoughts; do you believe pessimism could be just another way of positive thinking? Your opinions are greatfully appreciated.

Welcome James, Matt and anyone else I may have missed. This is a nice place with very kind people. Enjoy.

Oh did I forget to mention my parents would be stopping by Saturday as well? Dad will be ruthless towards you If he starts speaking to my mom in Italian that

Maybe next time, instead of driving drunk, Paris and her buddies will try one of those new-fangled inventions called a cab. I imagine that she, after two days in jail, after expecting it to be just another day at the beach for her, probably started calling people and telling them, "Get me out! I don't care, how, just get me out!" And it almost worked. Guess Daddy's money can't buy your way out of everything.

Just remember this though. People like Paris don't learn. She has a drinking problem it seems. I am sorry to say that in my opinion this will not be her last brush with the law. If she kills then these 40 days will be the least of her worries. When all this started I felt like a few weeks in jail would be good for her. I now think it don't really matter because she is spoiled and will go right back to her previous lifestyle either way. I don't hate Paris. I don't envy the money. What I hate to see is someone travel down this pathway in life.

Next Wednesday June 13th marks the third anniversary of my son's death. No life, no matter how brief, is ever insignificant. In his flicker of life he altered my world. He was my precious gift and he will never be forgotten. When a friend dies you lose your past, when a child dies, you lose your future. Memories are the precious gifts of the heart.

If the publisher of the photographs of me to which you have does not have and/or is unable to produce a signed model release from me specifically authorizing the use of the photos in the manner to which I object, the publisher can be restrained from distributing them and also may be liable for damages. About the only exception to that would be if I were engaged in what normally would be considered a common, voluntary, un-private activity in a public place, wherein I would have no expectation of particular privacy. Caprice?

You

I married a woman I met in college. Most guys were very envious of our relationship. Little did I know it would turn out to be the most tragic event of my entire life and it always will be. I only dated one other guy before meeting Morgan. Again my friends thought he was such a hottie because of his looks, they obviously didn't see the same person I did. He was the shallowest most self-absorbed person I ever met. Now Morgan I happen to find to be the most sincere caring person I've ever met, and I think he's beautiful inside and out.
