It seems there was a government inoculation program back in 1976 for swine flu. Makes me even more leery of getting the vaccination.


Yep! ... I've *never* had a flu shot.

For a point of reference ... I was at the VA Hospital in Houston
recently (semi-annual checkup) and the nurse told me they have
had ZERO instances of H1N1 ... only "typical flu". And you can
imagine how many folks pass through the Houston VA Hospital on
a daily basis.

Me no likey. Pet names from strangers are condescending, IMO.


Really? People you don't know throw terms such as that your way?

*Incredible*

(I'm thinking the OP was referring to using the term on
women he knows rather well - I *assume* that :)

Some women find the word " hun " offensive . Are they justified or are they nuts ?. Your opinions as sincere as you can.


To play the technical dweeb, "hun" has other meanings :)

But you're obviously referring to the shortened, "honey".
Personally, I *always* use the long version of any person's
name or pet name for a loved one - it's out of respect.
For example, "sweetheart" instead of "sweets" or "sweetie",
"Susan" instead of "Suzie" or "Angela" instead of "Angie".

one that picks up a lot of speed quite suddenly and intensely.


That's it .. and a relationship that continues to be "fast".
(and most likely dies almost as quickly, unfortunately).

Particularly on this web site, and any others for that matter, what would it take to spark enough interest to get a response? Is it a picture IE., physical physical feature?? Or is it what a man has to offer you....Do you think if you do not answer a mans a email with a least a no I'm not interested this is not rude??? What about the other way around?? Interested to see what kind of conversation this will stir up... Have fun


I came across a website article (weeks ago) that concluded
that women enjoy men with a sense of humor - a man who can
get them to laugh. It seems to be true (in some of my
experiences) and from what I've read in the article ... I can't
find the article at this moment, but this one is pretty close:

http://www.theledger.com/article/20061208/NEWS/61208035?Title=Men-Women-Attracted-to-Sense-of-Humor-in-Different-Ways

How you come across "humorous" in a profile is a mystery :)

but why does anyone have to justify ANYTHING they do to their own body...ask me why i got my nose pierced...i will answer now....i dunno flowerforyou


It's an opinion :)

So, you were shopping or driving home from work or lying
on the couch and said, "I want a nose piercing"?

Not to beat a dead horse (maybe I have already), but just
want to understand the rationale :)

I don't know if I like my accent because I can't hear my own accent. And I think how I speak is just fine with me (no need to have a different accent).


I agree about this one - I've never considered that I have
an accent ... I only know I have an accent is when I travel
to some other state and a person mentions it to me.

I would not want to have some other accent because it means
I'd want to be someone else.

Only reason to be nervous is if you have something to hide
or are feeling guilty about something you've done.

A really quite droll, if rather bitter, look at the nature of human courtship.


I remember reading that about 3 years ago. I'll bet men
are more "agreeable" to the concept than women would be.

I like ink as long as it is done well. Homemade tat's look kind of ugly. Doesn't seem fair that people get discriminated against for it. I don't see what is wrong with just getting a tat you like because you like the design. Not everything has to have some deep meaning.


I don't think the "tattoo artwork" has to represent something,
what I'm saying is there should be some "significance" for the
reason for getting it, such as some "life" event.

Example: I have piercings to represent my Mom's pain enduring
the cancer she dealt with ... because every now and then I
experience pain from the piercings, reminding me of the pain
she must have endured.

For example, some folks get a tattoo because a loved one has
passed on, or some significant change has happened in their life.

It's an opinion, of course, but to get a tatt for the reason of
having a tatt seems the wrong reason. I understand a person might
enjoy the "ink" for art's sake, but what I've found is most people
get ink to reflect some action in their life - in other words,
there's a story behind the ink.

Just an opinion :)

So far today I've had 3 emails from 3 different people accusing me of not being Irish. Or being a mutt. I even had one that said I have "black lips" Seriously?? WTF is up with that? Yes. I really am Irish. People are just nutty today.


Maybe 'cause you're not a redhead? ;)

Amazing work, I humbly bow down to a Master. You are just... Wow!


Thanks ... "master"?? I didn't do any of the work, I just
sat there and went through the pain :) And I kid you not.

The outline was done while I was "living" in D.C. working
on a project there ... the project ended so I came back home
to Texas ... I had to fly to D.C. to get the color done on
the mermaid, so to maximize my short visit, my artist
devoted her whole workday (6 hours worth) to finish "Lana".

It was one of the most intense sessions I've had with
her, meaning the most "painful". The last 2 hours
were the worse - I wanted sooo much to tell her, "stop",
but I didn't want to do another round-trip ticket to
finish up :)

Ive got one on my neck....And another on one of my arms. Im working on my sleeves currently...Then Im gonna do my chest and back...Then maybe Ill be done for a while.


My artist (her and her hubby work at a shop in the D.C. area)
has some work on her chest, but won't get it finished because
she says "it hurts too much" :)

Sometimes I think my life would be easier if I just dated a tattoo artist


Oddly enough, my artist's hubby hasn't done any of her work.


I love the simplicity of "Jinx's" -star- artwork:
http://kleinjinx.tumblr.com/page/4 (scroll down about 1/3)
She also just recently got a mermaid tatt on her forearm.

Who or what were you and what did you look like before your parents were born?


Sperm + egg = physical being, which has consistently worked
for Homo sapiens, exactly as it has worked for the rest of
the animal kingdom.

I was NOT here BEFORE my parents because they did not
conceive me before themselves.

it might not be very politically correct but it made me laugh

P.C. - I get tired when people have to apologize
that something isn't P.C. Anyway, it's been quite
unfortunate that, traditionally, we've been beat
by Tech for what seems like forever.

And we finally flush them and their coach uses that
excuse? How lame. Obviously, their team was in a
slump and the coaches weren't doing their job.

Whoop! Gig 'em, Aggies!

And we did it again today - 35 - 10 against Iowa State.

Let's see what happens with the Kansas/Tech game
(9 min left - tied) if they lose (Tech).

Show me some fav's or some new stuff and tell me about it... or tell me how you feel about women that sport ink and like to show it off.


I think there should be a story for each tattoo. Many folks
get a tattoo (tattoos) because it's the "in thing" to do,
without any thought for a meaning behind it. It's easy to
tell when it's for "coolness": it's "flash" (tattoo art
hangin' on the walls of the studio).

My ink is found here (all custom artwork):

Edit ... forgot to answer your question:

(other than you that is, ha)
AND

questions were too much for a Friday night. Ok... Ford, Chevy or Dodge?


For "what" purpose?
just the age old Ford or Chevy question with Dodge thrown in. drinker drinker


I can only answer by what I own:
* Trooper (with a Chevy V6 engine :)
* Porsche
* 2 Z28's (Chevy, of course)
* Chevy 4-door
* my fav: Canary yellow 1964 Buick LeSabre convertible
* 1999 Hayabusa (fastest production motorcycle)

I'll have to say, "Chevy" overall, but the Buick is the fav.
