Motorload,

Even though that's a generic name, sortof, I'm going to report your post to the moderators in Dallas. I don't think that you know what you're doing by stating that.

If you are having a lazy afternoon and after awhile you decide to NOT show your name, I would suggest that you do the same.

Take care,
Elisabeth

P.S. Yes. I know. I'm too serious all of the time and no fun.

I like this guy. Haha.

There's a line spoken by Paden (played by Kevin Kline) in the movie "Silverado" that's always stuck in my mind: "I always figure you might as well approach life like everybody's your friend or nobody is; don't make much difference." I think that's true.

At the same time, never underestimate the capacity of people to be mean and vindictive. I could tell a helluva story about my ex-wife, this board, and my involvement with sugar babies that would make a compelling cautionary tale.

But at the same time: What are we if not products of our own free will, needs, and desires? We should each define what makes us happy and not let others bully and intimidate us because we don't conform to what THEY think should make us happy.

I believe "A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man dies but one." (The actual line is: "Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once." William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar.) I want to live life as I define it, not as somebody else does. I certainly don't want to live life in fear. I want my life to be joyous and interesting. I don't want my life to be ruled by somebody else. If someone wants to use my activities against me, I say fuck 'em. I choose freedom, and "freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose." (Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster, "Me and Bobby McGee.") Originally Posted by ShysterJon

My count down to a being a memeber has begun......... 6 days left

Whoopdedoo, the guy outted himself. What a man.

At worst, this was stupid. At best, pointless.

Joking, of course.

I have a brain. It's the heart I sometimes lack. I have no sympathy for him if this blows up in his face.

what is the point and what happens in six days?

Maybe the way to show solidarity with the guy is to pull a "Spartacus." I'm ready -- are you Tinman and Torito?

"Eddit- Bubba3452."

If you don't care enough to protect yourself... then why would people around think you would care enough to protect them???

I am not only worried about this blowing up in his face, but others' as well.

Ze, is your interest in the OP's welfare, or because he wrote three reviews of you and you're concerned he'll drag you down with him? Haha.

No damnit, I'M *******!!!

(Yeah, I'm wondering what happens in 6 days too...please tell me that there's not a space-ship carrying Jesus, following a comet that will be picking him and his breathern up! ;-)
