Einstein, if you translate this into English, I might be able to answer. Am I supposed to get it? Pass my drool rag, please.

The hot long haired hippy dude that played Julia Robert's boyfriend in Erin Brocovich at the very moment his knees melted and he fell to the ground on her front porch when she jokingly rejected him. Gotta get a toy.

These are GREAT games! But Vines, how dare you doubt me. I can tie a cherry stem with my tongue in 12 seconds without chewing the stem! But the winner of the best game goes to PiercedQT. I'm going to play lots of these, but she PM'd me, and I played her game last night. It was H Y S T E R I C A L. I only needed one more game, and I played hers because it was simple, it wasn't messy, it didn't take too long, and nobody was confused over the directions. I gave each girl a paper plate and pen. They each wrote their name on one side, then put the plate on their head. I said, "GO" and they had to draw a certain male body part while the plate was on their head. I closed my eyes, and they gave the plates back. I picked the best one, and that person got a toy. I kept all the drawings for my fridge! It was an absolute scream. Thanks, ladies. I'm keeping all these in my game book.

Paul Harvey says: I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory of evolution. Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game. So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game. "But it's a Christian prayer," some will argue. Yes, and ! this is the United States of America, a country founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect-somebody chanting Hare Krishna? If I went to a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer. If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad, I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer. If I went to a ping pong match in China, I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha. And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit. When in Rome... "But what about the atheists?" is another argument. Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer! Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations. Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating; to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying. God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well ... just sue me .

My periods have been more regular than the morning paper my entire life... till I got banded. I missed my first period after banding, then missed a 2nd one. Now I'm over a year out, and my whole cycle has shifted forward a full 10 days. I'm back on track, but 2 weeks early. Go figure.

Girl, this has to be a lifetime committment. You can get through this. The best thing to do is ask for phone numbers and use friends to get you through the day. Get out of the house and go to the park or the carwash. Go check War and Peace out of the library and sit down for a good read. Absorb yourself in cleaning the entire house or any other project. You can and will do this. Freeze some orange juice in ice cube trays, eat sugar free Jello. We are all here. Slam away at the keyboard in anger, write a book. Just don't eat. You've come WAY TO FAR to blow it now! YOU CAN DO IT!

Speaking of Freddie, Freddie Prinze as Chico. (Some start a live thread so I can add his son.)

Yeah, but will they do that with my belly flab? I'm still trying to decide what to do because I want this, that and the other, but I can't take 2 weeks out of life for full body recovery. They don't want to put me under 4 times for 4 procedures though. Decisions, decisions. Plus it's much more expensive doing one at a time. The anesthesia is dangerous and expensive, so it's all or nothing. They prefer to do several procedures at once to avoid risk. They talked me out of just doing my belly right now and waiting till I'm ready for more. Maybe January.

I didn't really want to see your scars. I asked for a naked man. Geeze!

Okay, I need to revamp the rules. No dogging anyone for having the hots on someone you don't like. Poohing on the parade takes the fun out of it. As far as sex with a gay man... I have two words: George Michael. Hell, Boy George! But they'er for the the alive thread! Maybe Freddie Mercury wasn't much to look at, but there's no way I'd toss him out of my bed for eating crackers. He makes me swoon when I close my eyes even now. Now we're making progress. Think about all the early westerns. A roll in the hay with a cowboy? Yep. Uh huh (but only after their Saturday night bath.)

P.S. Forget about the scale because being on liquids and just having surgery will throw the numbers. You might have dropped tons of Water weight that will creep back up as you add more liquids. Take the pain med if you need. It will help you sleep. Your body needs a lot of sleep to help you recover. Don't deprive yourself. Relax, sleep, walk, drink water & lots of liquids. Don't eat!

Jen, calm down and don't eat a thing. You can make it, it will get easier every day. Stay on liquids till you get cleared from your doctor. If your doc says you can eat in a few days, get a 2nd opionion and use your best judgment. If you are hungry, turn of the TV and read a book - not a cookbook! Ask for phone numbers and start calling people. The day will be over soon, and you'll be fine.

Thinking of you & Vegas and welcoming you to your new life. Happy Band Day.

Notice this thread was someone else's quote? I think the problem with God in public is that he/she/it got so complicated that the idea has gone astray. My bible is a book called, "Everything you need to know we learned in Kindergarten." -If you break it, fix it. -If you lose it, replace it. -If you hurt someone, apologize. -Don't steal, cheat or lie. So my idea of God isn't the religious one most people think of, and my idea of God is very personal, which is why I don't think religion belongs in public. I personally like the idea of the Pledge of Allegiance with the God line, but that's just because of the simplicity behind my belief system. I'd like the government to explain which "God" we are praying to. Have I been praying to something I don't believe in all these years? My money says, "In God we Trust." Exactly what God is that? I'm getting some flack because this thread contradicts other threads. I posted this because I thought it was a strong quote. I like controversy because it makes me think, and too many people spend hours and hours at the gym and forget to exercise their mind. Seeing other people's opinions helps me make decisions and correct insufficiencies in my thinking system. I appreciate all your responses and will be checking in again. Peace.

Alex, since my birthday was so close to a new school year, I was always younger than all my classmates. I was also much taller and much heavier. I was the fat, dorky, ugly kid. Kids are judgemental and cruel. Nobody, not one single person, ever hurt me, teased me, or violated me at any level because I was younger than them. I was just the tortured fat kid (2nd tallest in my school.) I vote keep her with kids the same size. I personally think all your kids should be bumped up a grade since they have the unfair brilliance gene on their side. If they do pick on her, teach her how to use her brain to fight back.

One nation, under God. Powerful.

Betty, I just checked out lovefifi.com from my Underwear thread. Even though it's my competitor, please go on-line and buy yourself something special like a foxy new corset. You've earned it. Spoil yourself rotten today, then ride on, Baby!

Tennis shoes are on but I was waiting for a little sun to come out. I see the darkness fading now, so off to the park then the rest of my sweaty routine. Peace.

Okay people, this game isn't about having sex with a dead person so whoever took it there, please get to your therepist! If the Sex and the City cast can play it effectively, then so can we. NO SEX WITH DEAD PEOPLE! That's just sick and pretty scary that someone (uh, no names) even "went" there mentally! I'm kinda worried. "Pretend" someone that has passed away is still alive and in their prime. It's a fantasy. "Fantasy." Pretend, make believe. I know you guys can do this. When did Anthony Hopkins die? Maybe he died in some movies, but I think the guy is still alive. This isn't a boring old thread about your current fantasy - it's about using your imagination. Try it!

Karen, you are only my second client, but is the UK too far?

Blah blah blah, I know this isn't going to fly, but I want to see avatars on every single member, STAT. I realize they aren't mandatory, but they sure are fun. If anyone wants help shrinking a picture, lots of people here will help. I even learned how to shrink one, so post up!

Right on, my first client. Let me check my rolodex and see if I can find a match. Where did my UK guys go?

Awe, I'm so happy everyone played this game with me! Everyone looks great. It's so nice to get real faces, and such cute ones!

How on Earth have I missed this thread? Am I intentionally being left out of all the reindeer games? Crystal, getting off the inhaler alone is amazing. I'm taking a big lung of air for you right now in celebration!

A poke in the whiskers? Are you guys from another planet?
