Appetite for Construction
What do you mean by safely, Founder?— August 16, 2010 9:26 a.m.
You Want A Slotted Head Or A Phillips With That?
the longer i live, the more disillusioned i am with our government... Best of luck, LPR. May you get your 'bennies.'— August 16, 2010 9:04 a.m.
Anatomy of a Hollywood Press Junket
Exactly #1! How the heck do you tell the 'traditional' and 'non-traditional' aviators apart? Both do the same work. And according to Google, Dey's the director. (I just had to check)— August 12, 2010 4:57 p.m.
Super Kick-Ass Flight Attendant

On the Benefits of Recreational Summertime Walking through Death Valley
As far as I know, the Bible doesn't say anything against interracial marriages. Funny that you mention divorce, surfpuppy, I had originally added something about divorce and the divorce argument to my comment but edited it out... Using the divorce argument, or the marriage is just "a piece of paper, so, what does it matter?" argument (as I've heard used) exposes what marriage has become, and not what (I think) it should be.— August 10, 2010 1:36 p.m.
On the Benefits of Recreational Summertime Walking through Death Valley
Mindy, Mindy, Mindy, smh. . . God loves everyone. Whether or not one believes in God, God still gives everyone the same rights and choices. Humans have free choice. And, yes, only God knows what will happen.— August 10, 2010 8:36 a.m.
Taking A Trip To The Food Bank...
The last part of my comment was regarding confidentiality purposes... The idea/act of discussing personal information, even if just food choice, in a public area like a lobby, screams as a big no-no to me. Confidentiality must be maintained.— August 9, 2010 2:27 p.m.
On the Benefits of Recreational Summertime Walking through Death Valley
"I have no problem with the rights of any group of people who want to establish civil unions with appropriate full civil rights as long as those civil unions are not classified as the same as natural marriages." Exactly what I've been trying to articulate myself... Using the term marriage for same sex couples does not sit right with me. Nor will it.— August 9, 2010 12:25 p.m.
Pesky Piercings and Other family Issues
Oh, and I never have understood why parents freak out about body modifications on their adult children. Maybe it's a parent thing that I'll understand when I have children? ... My friend had a lip piercing for a week. Then she went home and her dad told her to take it out or never return home again. A bit harsh, I would say, but she had made her choice. She was fully aware of what she was doing. I've always thought it was rather controlling of parents to tell their children what to do past a certain age and/or after kids move out.— August 9, 2010 8:56 a.m.
Pesky Piercings and Other family Issues
I was 12 or 13 when I got a second piercing in my ears. And 22 (March) when I got my first tattoo. In college, I wanted to get an eyebrow piercing, but kept putting it off. And by the time my junior and senior year came around, I knew that an eyebrow piercing wouldn't be cool while at an internship or while looking for work. The tattoo was done as a spontaneous spur of the moment decision, but I've wanted one since I was 18 and saw my first episode of Miami Ink. It's on my wrist. Why pay for something permanent if I can't even enjoy it? And now at work, tattoos need to be covered; so, I wear my watch over it. My tattoo is just an outline of a heart, so nothing that will necessarily cost me a promotion or a job later on. Emster, I think it's better that your daughter got the piercing now, instead of later. Young adulthood is the best time to experience new things and decide what works and what doesn't work in one's life. Your daughter, as all under 24 yr olds are still figuring out who they are and what they want to become. I know I am. (and this isn't to say that 25+ yr olds have it all figured out either)— August 9, 2010 8:51 a.m.
