Not sure yet. There's a birthday party for one of my friends tonight. I'll be up late if I go to it. Still deciding whether I'm up for it. IP: Logged |

That's cool. I've decided I'm not going tonight. I'm not going to commute for two hours to get a maximum three hours with them. I'm going to watch the hockey game instead. The Sharks have a chance to close out the Kings tonight. IP: Logged |

It's my one-day-a-week diet cheat day. I did decent at it for breakfast and lunch, but the only unhealthy thing in my dinner is the cheese on my hamburger patties. I just don't have a lot of unhealthy stuff in the house to eat anymore.IP: Logged |

I understand AG. I was there and decided I can`t be run off. Nor can you  If we quit when it seems bleak, when do we ever become strong ? I`m having faith others will slowly return (if the roar can be kept to a minimun). We have to encourage the types of conversation we wish to have. I suspect they are silently reading waiting..... So hello readers  ------------------ ~The Earth Laughs In Flowers~ ... Emerson IP: Logged |

Hmmm...I don't really see it as being run off. I see most of the people that have left as having been run off, and what for? Nothing of consequence. And then I get to hear that the justification was to break up cliques (back when so many of them left). These are the same charming groups of people that drew people here in the first place. Some people have a very distorted view of what's happened here. Randall said this today: We should try to see past the words on the page and truly "see" the humanity behind them. This was my message to Randall regarding T. It shouldn't take me posting a majorly inflammatory thread and drawing some insults for people to see there's a cause and effect here. One person gets free speech while the other doesn't. One's saying something controversial, and the other's saying something petty and essentially meaningless. It's silly. The reaction is equal to the action. I don't really have faith in people coming back. Not unless Randall removes himself again. It's a nice sentiment to think that we can bury the past and move forward, but Randall's not even aware of how he comes across, nor does he seem to be aware that not everyone operates under the same premise as him. There are people that don't/won't apologize because it would be a betrayal of their own integrity. Conversely, there are people that will behave as badly as they please understanding that a simple apology will get them out of trouble. I have a Capricorn friend with a four planet stellium in Aquarius who subscribes to the second way of being. While he's behaving poorly nothing can dissuade him, but he'll expect to be forgiven when he asks. I don't think apologies should be a Get Out Of Jail Free card. Just like the idea of apologizing in order to return to LL is extreme in my opinion, banning in the first place is extreme. It really is. Suspension without the condition of apology is probably a better route. It's more moderate, and I think that's what's called for. Extremism in all forms is what gets this place in trouble.

Suspension without the condition of apology is probably a better route. A time out so to speak. It worked with my kids. They thought twice before over reacting or instigating. ------------------ ~The Earth Laughs In Flowers~ ... Emerson IP: Logged |

Yeah.I was just talking with a guy at work who has one of the rare Nissan Leaf's. It's an all-electric sedan. Pretty cool. Yesterday actor Nathan Fillion re-tweeted a tweet from Arcimoto announcing their new vehicle. It's a three-wheel, two passenger (tandem/in-line) all electric vehicle. I asked my friend if this vehicle would also get the tax breaks he's getting ($5700 from state, $7000 from Federal). He thinks it would. It starts at $17,500. That sounds tempting. That would be like the sidecar option you were talking about. And there's a little space for groceries or golf clubs. IP: Logged |

Well, there is a blue one on the site. I was trying to find a picture that wasn't huge, and didn't show all the models. This certainly wouldn't be as tested as Vespa.IP: Logged |

First date with Sag went pretty good. There will be more. I don't think I've ever gone out with someone that looked so much like myself. Like if her and I had kids people would inevitably say they take after whichever parent was with them. Same hair color, similar nose, similar eye color. Trippy. JH & JH.IP: Logged |

Familiarity is something special though!You're looking awesome Ag! I have eaten like crap lately. I was with you for a while, and I appreciate that you're still succeeding on your lifestyle change. I am succumbing to my .....I guess sad state lately? That quick buzz you get from something bad. This is the week I have committed to getting back on board, I owe it to me,.. I can't be too indulgent for too long. i haven't made any lasting results on my waistline...but I am not being very nice to me.
Tell us more about your date!!!! IP: Logged |
