You know, I'm half tempted to reduce their posts to 0 just because it would make me smile when all the threatening PMs came in... But that would be too much work on my part. Consider it a Christmas Present from me

I did not. I told him to post something useful... and look where we end up 4 pages later.

Michelle said she was going to blog about me being an idiot last night, so I figured I'd go ahead and agree with everything she says now. We went to the club last night after I left work extremely pissed off, and it was a lot of fun. School is mostly out and people were in town so it was pretty packed and we all had a good time. Except for the CJ part... but I didn't end up talking to him. Of course, that didn't stop Michelle from running up to him and hugging him though. Her excuse was, "Well he's a daddy now!" Whatever... Oh yeah he knocked up some chick a week before he met me. Anyways it was probably 2:30 when I first saw this guy on the dance floor and I was trying not to drool. To make a long story short, around 3:30 the club was starting to empty out and our friend Valerie went over to this guy to talk to him. I don't know what she said but she told me to go over and talk to him. And thats where the idiot part comes in. Did I go? Of course not! Why would I actually do something I want that takes courage when I can just sit against the wall and do nothing. And then they're all telling me to go talk to him and apparently he's talking about me because he and his group of friends keep looking over at me. So they said either I go talk to him or we leave... We left. Yes so I'm in a bad mood again and still haven't decided if I'm going to work or not. I would much rather just sit at home and sleep, but we'll see.

I agree. Be a complete bitch one time in front of her friends and you'll be forever known as the mom not to mess with. It's also kinda cool to have the ultra strict parents that never let you do anything so when you finally do get to do something, you get to act all cool saying you convinced your hard ass mom to let you go out. She has one of those... he's just not old enough to realize it yet

And no... I don't mean that kind of stick. I'm stuck drivin my brother's RAM for the next week and it's a stick shift. No one ever taught me how to drive one so I had to teach myself how. Today is the first day I've had it and it's been rainin every time I try to drive it. Rain + Inexperienced stick driver = no fun But I've managed to keep all the tires on the road so far so I think I'm doing good. How many of you drive a manual transmission regularly, and how many of you can do it, but still have an automatic car?

Does this mean I have to make you another CD?

So I feel good. Michelle and I were on our way to Wal Mart when we saw an SUV stuck on the side of the road in the mud and felt bad. So I turned around and went back to see if he needed help getting out. Turns out he and his wife were both cops and she had a little too much to drink at their Christmas Party and wanted him to pull over and ended up getting stuck. So I get out in the mud and hook up some ties that I have to both trucks and start pulling him out. I get him about half way out when the hook bends on my truck and comes loose. So we both get out and try hooking it up a few more times but I just ended up breaking all of my straps instead. They weren't meant for towing so I'm not surprised, but I tried. I ended up getting mud all over his Escalade. The front was covered with so much mud that you couldn't even see the paint or windshield. It killed my high of trying to help, but I gave it a shot. He ended up waiting for the tow truck that he called and on the way back we saw him getting pulled out so at least he was ok.... even if he was a cop. The end Joe (Whos New Year Resolution is to help one person out a day... or week if I'm having a shitty day.)

So I finally decided to come out completely. At the urging of Michelle and Tina I came out to my sister the other night. She pretty much said, "Is that it? You pulled me away from drinking to tell me that?" So that went well. And I just changed my MySpace (yeah I know... pathetic that I have one, but I don't really use it) to say that I was gay. I figure that's the most effective way to come out to the people that don't know because pretty much everyone has one and looks at mine even though I don't update it ever. My professor asked me to tutor someone for an MIS class. She picked the worst time because I have to work the next 4 days, but oh well. It'll make me feel good inside, right? It damn well better. I partially took care of my speeding ticket. I went to the judge and she pretty much just said, "You're taking a Driver Safety Course. You have 30 days to pay for that and then 60 days after that to take it." and that was it. So no arrest warrent out for me and I don't have to pay a $218 ticket and a hell of a lot more in insurance. I still haven't started Christmas shopping yet. I know what I need to get some people, but I haven't had the time to actually do it yet. And I still need to find a dog for Michelle before she kills me. We got a firepit for the backyard and I've put it to use twice already. It's quite fun, but then again I'm a pyromaniac and burn marshmellows just for the hell of it. The only bad thing is that I smell like smoke right now and I really don't want to get up to take a shower at 2am, but I can't go to sleep feeling/smelling like this. I accidently answered a phone call from my ex today. I was waiting on a call from Tina and I hit answer when I felt it vibrate, but I looked at the name and went, "Oh shit. What do I do Michelle?" She just laughed. Not funny. He wanted to know if I wanted one of my TShirts back, but I said he could keep it It was a nice shirt though... Armani Exchange And then he sent me ANOTHER text saying how he still loved me and asked me if I changed my mind yet. Blah. And now that stupid Snowy is bugging me on MSN so it's time to go hide. Just kidding of course. Joe (Who feels weird doing a blog this short)

Well if it's shown at the beginning of porn films, I'm pretty sure the guy watching it is only using his right (or left) hand so no need for a condom

That was our plan all along. And by your 560 posts, it seems to have worked

But the rule is ineffective. They don't enforce it. There isn't a point to having that rule because nobody does follow it. That's their issue to deal with. They need to start enforcing the rule if it's not working. But just because the rule says you shouldn't do it, doesn't mean it won't be done. This is a quote from the comments section of the article: Rules will be broken. That's a fact of life that everyone has to deal with. But we have to have some type of safeguard in place for when those rules really are broken. I hate using that quote because I'm about to leave for court because I was speeding but oh well. It works.

But that's not the point. They're going to have sex either way. If there is a rule against it or not, it's going to happen. They shouldn't be denied protection because of it. Everyone knows it happens in prison. That's where all of the "don't drop the soap" jokes come from. It's a rule that's going to be broken, and the wardens know that. But to deny that anything happens behind bars is biggotry. They don't want to admit that it happens. If you can stop it from happening by enforcing your rule, then by all means do it. But until they enforce those rules, they need to have some type of backup if those rules are broken.

This sort of goes along with this article: http://www.gay.com/news/article.html?2007/11/20/1 Most prisons deny inmates the use of condoms. They say "sex does not happen" because there are rules against it. Bullshit. Everyone knows gay sex happens in prison. Most of the time the prisoners themselves aren't gay, but it still happens because it's a release that they need. Now, the argument against giving them condoms is not only that it's against the rules, but that they're inmates so they don't deserve them. If you're a criminal, you deserve what happens to you while you're in jail. If you have sex against the rules, then you don't deserve the right to complain when you contract an STD. But what about those that don't have a choice? The ones that go to prison for three months for a crime that didn't harm anyone. Or the ones that are falsely imprisoned and later released after they have been cleared of all charges? Those are the ones that don't have a choice and are raped by the more dominant inmates to prove a point and 'put them in their place' so to speak. Now, given that they're raping someone else, I don't think most of them would be too concerned about using a condom, but the risk of becomming HIV positive in jail is still there. I do think the country needs to follow the precident set by other countries and the few cities that do distribute them now. Prison doesn't strip a person of their rights. The government has a duty to protect the citizens, even if they are behind bars. Beyond the prison thing, I don't think many people realize today how serious this issue really is. A lot of the younger generation doesn't know or doesn't care about the risks of unprotected sex. We rarely hear about it in the news and even when we do, we're becoming adjusted to it and desensitized. I'll admit that I have had unprotected sex, but it was a stupid mistake on my part and it won't happen again. I don't care how many times my partner tells me they're clean, I won't have sex without a condom. Not that it's that much of a problem for me because I don't do one night stands or hookups and I rarely have a boyfriend, but when the time comes, no matter how much I trust the guy, I will make sure we have protected sex. It's a stupid mistake that can ruin your life. Ten minutes of fun (which is pretty sad, but hey... some guys can't last that long) can lead to a lifetime of pain and regret that you don't want to have.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dw...n1.36c54bd.html I saw that article and couldn't help but laugh. I live about 20 minutes from Lewisville and my friend Jane lives about 3 blocks over from where this happened. I'm just waiting to see this on the news and have someones home video sent in showing cops trying to arrest a kangaroo... in Texas

Not quite. When we had the chat room before, the regulars in there seemed to be the most frequent posters on the forums. Most of the time the chat room revolved around peoples personal life and what was going on there. Other times we would play games to pass the time if no one had anything interesting to talk about. For the most part, all of the people that went on the SF trip were regulars in the chat at one point or another. I know I formed most of my GA friendships through the chat room. But that may be because I don't read the forums regularly enough to get to know a lot of people.

Well from the previous chat that we had, I can say that the topics almost never replaced forum use. The topics in the chat room were usually off the wall and had nothing to do with GA unless we focused them on purpose.

This is in a totally unofficial capacity that I'm asking, so don't get any ideas. We used to have a chat room here on GA that members would frequent quite often. A while back we had some issues arrise that caused a lot of members to leave. Since then, most of them have come back. My question is, if there was a GA chat room, would you use it? How often? Is there any reason you wouldn't use it? Joe

My mother was here for 4 days and I still don't think she knows I have a tattoo. It's not very hidden either because my shirt sleeves ride up and you can see the bottom of it usually. Not that I spent more than a grand total of 3 hours with her while she was here, but she didn't mention it at all. Have fun with the nose piercing

Becuase it was created 2 days ago

I listened to the game at work and I was so pissed when the Packers lost. I think I was the only one rooting for them to win (go figure...) but oh well. I hate to say this, but I'm glad Favre got hurt early on. Aaron Rodgers played a great game. Now, if the game were at Lambeau Field, I think the outcome would have been different. Dallas has yet to win a game at Green Bay.

I know a lot of people here don't follow sports, or football specifically, but for those of you that do, I'm sure you know the significance of the Green Bay vs Dallas game tonight. Even though I live in Dallas, I'm a loyal Wisconsinite and am hoping to God that the Packers win. Both teams are 10-1 right now and it's the first time in 17 years that two teams with that record come face to face. Favre has lost every single game he's played at Texas Stadium, but they're on a 6 win streak right now so let's hope his luck changes a bit. P.S. If you choose Dallas to win I might have to hunt you down and kill you.

No! Those videos are never to appear on the web again! Oh wait... I think I've said too much.

Yes but we're talking about doing it for Steve

Who wouldn't? Probably Rich

Not exactly what I had in mind, Snowy... But I agree with Kevin. Let's explore your need to please me What else can I get you to do for me?
