Poor JM, I'm so sorry about your puppy. He was really cute. How is the other one doing?

ARRRGH

Oh well, I guess he'll have to deal with it. I'm enjoying the single life. I've pretty much been constantly in a relationship for the past 2 years, with maybe a few days in between guys. Haha, man that sounds horrible.

Oh well, I don't care. I'm having fun.

Imagine is one of the best songs of all time.

Um, wow. Welcome to the boards.

Well said!

That's because you don't know what you're talking about, sir.

He lays where the departed darling spent his last hours at home, nose into his pillow.

poor doggie, it's gonna be hard for him as well. JM, help him cope with the loss, dear. He needs to count on you.

How is being a "nursery rhyme for hippies" at all offensive? To me, that is the defining factor of "Imagine"'s brilliance.

Lousy Saturday. Rainy and coldish. And I'm working all day......

Poor puppy. Hope you guys feel better soon.

It's 'nursery' that is too much.

Ah. Again, too literal thinking on the offender and offended's part; a nursery rhyme is simply an idealistic poem, simple in manner and structure, with a moralist's voice seeping through. "Imagine" just happens to be one that I like.

Though "Ba Ba Black Sheep" is poignant. Especially when invaded by political correctness, and the title is changed to "Ba Ba White Sheep".

Isn't nursery derived from 'a nurse', working in a hospital?

Probably.

I gave blood yesterday at a works blood drive. I love this sort of thing because I'm one of those awkward people that requires a lot of effort to get blood from. So instead of the nurses connecting me and just leaving me be for 15 minutes or so they've got to prod, poke, twist, turn and/or hold in place the needle just to get the blood through. I get some weird enjoyment out of that as I watch the nurses do it.

But during which, I'm told I'm not to drink for 24 hours! TWENTY FOUR HOURS! What they taking blood from me on a Friday for (mind you I'd still be pissed off at not drinking any day of the week)? Sod that, I went home, had a bottle of wine and didn't feel much different, maybe a little sleepier. I was gutted. I'd hoped I'd get smashed quicker and cheaper.

Edited.

I know your post is serious Turi, but for some reason I'm picturing your friend as Vinnie Jones from that crappy Eurotrip movie.

In all seriousness I hope he's alright.

Hehe, you know he's actually listed in my phone as Sonny. That's a bit more apt.

He actually needs someone to count on - he is also old, and can't see and hear anymore.

This girl who is a year older than me and was in one of my classes last year did a porn video for a professional site recently. I saw it. It was kinda weird.

I'm running with scissors! I'm running with scissors!

I appealed a grade of mine and got it changed to an 'A'

That gives our self-appointed arbiters

1- The opportunity to insult other members by referring to their age and implying that someone who is not an adult cannot have any thoughts, questions, or ideas worthy of discussion,

2- The chance to belittle any member, regardless of their age, by suggesting that their thoughts, questions or ideas are not worthy of discussion, and

3 - The occasion to make new members feel unwelcome by belittling and demeaning their thoughts, questions, or ideas.

Can't tell you how many potentially interesting new members we've lost that way...

People who posted something, only to be demeaned and belittled for what they wrote, and never seen or heard from again.

Ah, well.....

I guess you need a thick skin to be a member of the Gangster BB."

For the most part I'd agree MMTH.
