That sounds more reasonable to me, as well. I can see how parents sometimes are frustrated and want to whack some sense into the kid. As eleothegreat stated, "sometimes because of frustration I really want to spank her." Violence begets more violence and sends a message to kids that hitting is okay. Although my memory isn't the best, I don't recall ever seeing a Thai parent whack their kid. Have you?

I haven't heard of Idol White or teeth paint, as you call it. Let me know how it works for you. Thanks.

Yeah, right. Live without vino or coffee? How do you spell, FAT CHANCE?

You think the Samoans will throw David Huebner out the window?

Keep your chin up. Since you have been promoting peace and love for years, I am sure the committee will eventually come around to you.

As a result of all the water from these two typhoons, the Philippines are now plagued with mudslides. It is reported that 160 people have died as a result of these mudslides. Read more at http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091009/ap_on_re_as/as_asia_storm

That was an interesting article. I had no idea that many Thais were in Sweden. I would have thought the cold weather would keep Thais away. I wonder if the Thai massage will give the Swedes a run for their money?

I would go, if I could just watch. I am not into whips and chains, but might find it interesting to watch. From what I can gather, it sounds like there are private rooms and no place for voyeurs.

Before I had my present plan, I had a cheapie "pay as you go" phone from Wal-mart. I bought the card with the most minutes for about $100 and it kept me active for a year. Never used up those minute in a year. At the time, it was the best way to go for me.

and supports his foundation....

I am happy he won, too. Bush really left him with a mess. The economic crisis has taken up much of his time. I think he likes to proceed slowly and think about all the possible scenarios. Maybe we will see more his second term?

I think it is dangerous to drive and talk on the phone at the same time and many studies have found that so. Now, some people even try to text and drive. What idiots!

Yes, those are the ones. I use to see them advertised but never tried them. As I grow older, it seems with the coffee and wine drinking, my teeth are more yellow than white. Maybe I should just keep my mouth shut?

Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. I bet your daughter will become a fine, upstanding young lady. When Sweden enacted their non-spanking law, people thought it would create a generation of spoiled brats. It did not. Youth crime has dropped. Sweden spurred a sort of nonviolent culture across the country and maybe the world. Time outs and explanations seem to work. On the flip side, when Dad slapped me across the face, it really did get my attention.

Quite obvious that earthquakes have been occurring for thousands of year. My point is, that it seems to me and in my lifetime, I hear about many more quakes and natural disasters. Is it better world communications and reporting or is there an increase in seismic activity? This website, http://www.factmonster.com/spot/earthquake1.html states, "There are thousands upon thousands of earthquakes annually, ranging on average from 18 major quakes to more than 2 million very minor ones per year (approximately 8,000 per day)." It doesn't say if there is an increase, recently. Who knows?

Lorena Bobbit's ex-husband is making porn movies? That's news to me. After the rendezvous with Lorena's knife, I am surprised he can get it up. Time will tell if this dildo goes anywhere. Hey, if the dildo that little Trip calls grandma can gain national attention, then there is hope for Levi.

Serotonin, epinephrine, dopamine, and endorphin are all neurochemicals and I think the drug companies have created some synthetic substitutes. I read L-dopa is a dopamine substitute used in Parkinson’s patients. I bet a side effect might be increase sexual titillation.

I don't think he was backpedaling, just clarifying. I heard it really was not a big deal in France. I bet the fair and balanced Fox was able to put their slant on the story.

Forgive my ignorance, what is BFF? I figured out BFD...big fucking deal. In this case, I don't know what that last F stands for.

Childbirth is risky. I can imagine the pain involved is enough to make sure you use birth control. If men had to bear the pain of childbirth, we wouldn't have a population problem. I guess there is always the C-section, but that is major surgery and painful, as well.

Good point. Seems he is all talk and no action. Let's bring the troops home.

This win for Obama was a real surprise to me. Seems he has been all talk and no real deeds. I hope I am wrong. Let's hope he is on his way to world peace. Here is part of the article and the link, http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091009/ap_on_re_eu/eu_nobel_peace By KARL RITTER and MATT MOORE, Associated Press Writers Karl Ritter And Matt Moore, Associated Press Writers OSLO – President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, citing his outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation.

I been wanting a new laptop for a while, now. I thought it might be best to wait for the new operating system to come out. According to this article, it looks like it is almost here. I wonder how long it will take Microsoft to work out the bugs in Window 7? by Walter S. Mossberg Thursday, October 8, 2009. Full story at http://finance.yahoo.com/career-work/article/107925/a-windows-to-help-you-forget?mod=career-worklife_balance Microsoft's New Operating System Is Good Enough to Erase Bad Memory of Vista In just two weeks, on Oct. 22, Microsoft's long operating-system nightmare will be over. The company will release Windows 7, a faster and much better operating system than the little-loved Windows Vista, which did a lot to harm both the company's reputation, and the productivity and blood pressure of its users. PC makers will rush to flood physical and online stores with new computers pre-loaded with Windows 7, and to offer the software to Vista owners who wish to upgrade.

I do not believe Levi Johnston has a snowball chance in hell to follow in the footsteps of Mark Wahlburg.

How about permanently?
