What's on your mind?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Influenza.

[osuche]

Why I have so many &*)^& reports to run!

[grl2naughty]

Calling the doctor.

[grl2naughty]

An appointment this morning.

[1nutworld]

I wish it was May, I'm tired of 14 degree wind chills and the like.

[WildIrish]

How fate works. It really is kind of cool, isn't it?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

How fate works. It really is kind of cool, isn't it?

It's the best. :)

[IowaMan]

Wishing there was some way I could lend a hand to a couple of friends. :(

[osuche]

How I got nothing really important done today, but I'm kind of happy anyway

[dicksbro]

Dr. (cardiologist) appointment at 11. No biggy, just an annual check, but I've never been thrilled about Dr. appointments. :(

[grl2naughty]

A friend.

[osuche]

Why I have to keep going to this torturous place called work

[IAKaraokeGirl]

If I'll ever get BACK to the torturous place called work.

[osuche]

:rofl:

[Coaster]

Having these 2 pixies on top of me!!!!^^^^

[IowaMan]

Trying to figure out what the hell it is that my body is trying to tell me. :shrug:

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Thinking he ^^^ could come here and I could figure it out. ;)

[IowaMan]

Should I go east or should I go west? Or should I really throw caution to the wind and do both?

[osuche]

Should I go east or should I go west? Or should I really throw caution to the wind and do both?



:line: YES! :line:

[PantyFanatic]

Thinking about what her ^^^ body could tell me. :p

[sodaklostsoul]

Being stuck in a mid life slump.

[osuche]

Thinking about what her ^^^ body could tell me. :p


Come a little closer and you might find out. ;)

[dicksbro]

Getting rid of this back ache. :(

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Work.

[Sharni]

Too many things, which seems to be the norm of late

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Bumpity, bump, bump, bump.

[Sharni]

The long list of crap i really need to do this weekend

[WildIrish]

Bumpity, bump, bump, bump.


"look at Frosty go.....Bumpity bump bump, Bumpity bump bump...Over the hills of snow!"

[Coaster]

How can I line up a celebrity for a tournament.....

[Sharni]

A 3sum with Orli and Ben Browder *L*

[osuche]

Loving people, and how you ssometimes need to let them go

[Lion]

Sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

[dicksbro]

Some work I need to get done.

[WildIrish]

I'm thinking Coaster should contact Sharni, who wants to line up a couple of celeb's for her own "tournament". :hot:

[osuche]

How much reading I have yet to do, and how much I really just want to sleep

[IowaMan]

It's cold and windy here today and my mind keeps drifting off to the three different trips I'm hoping to take this spring/summer. :)

[Lilith]

147 days til I am on a cruise

[osuche]

The vodka party tonight, what I will wear, and some random fantasy about a boy I go to school with

[ReaperWoman]

What I'd be doing right now if my best friend hadn't cancelled on our night out tonight... Not that I'm not enjoying being here!

[IowaMan]

I just can't get it off of my mind that a friend of mine is going to make a choice that is probably wrong and that they'll regret.

[osuche]

I just can't get it off of my mind that a friend of mine is going to make a choice that is probably wrong and that they'll regret.


Hey! I promise I didn't fulfill the fantasy I was dreaming about earlier today. ;)

[IowaMan]

A road trip that will feature a very happy first time meeting of someone. ;)

[sodaklostsoul]

A road trip that will feature a very happy first time meeting of someone. ;)
;)

[osuche]

A sort of Zen feeling of exhaustion and happiness that has nothing to do with work

[grl2naughty]

Trying to figure out what I am having for dinner tonight.

[osuche]

Thinking of longing about a nap, nap, nap

[IowaMan]

I think some sweet dreams for a sweet osuche would be a pretty good thing. ;)

((((osuche))))

[IAKaraokeGirl]

A birthday surprise.

[osuche]

Wondering if I'll get the new DVD player before my movies are due :banghead:

[WildIrish]

today's a good day to sit and pop bubblewrap

[wyndhy]

thinking i should delete a post before it's too late.

[WildIrish]

I'm hoping ^^^ is refering to a particularily nasty pictorial.






And I'm also hoping I can find said pictorial before it disappears! :p

[wyndhy]

:p no pics...but i did wriet a new short story. :D

[wyndhy]

which, btw, i just re-read and there are at least 3 typos in it. fekk! apparently i can't proof my own stuff.

[osuche]

today's a good day to sit and pop bubblewrap


Hey! I used to work for a company that made bubble wrap and I could legitimately do that!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

I'm imagining osuche, sitting in her office/cubicle with a big roll of bubble wrap, staring off into space as her fingers cause popping sounds. :D

[osuche]

I'm imagining osuche, sitting in her office/cubicle with a big roll of bubble wrap, staring off into space as her fingers cause popping sounds. :D


Yep. :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

:)

I'm thinking of big decisions.

[osuche]

I'm wishing I could experience just a little winter weather...I miss it.

Note I said I wanted just a *little* bit of it!

[mayhem1978]

im thinking...

one day left till i finish my early shift rotation

[sodaklostsoul]

Since it took forever for PF to get his Christmas Card I'm wondering who else did'nt even maybe get one. :(

[grl2naughty]

I am thinking that I will soon get to take care of something that has been "a long time coming".

[osuche]

Putting the old DVD player down in the basement and how I really don't want to do it.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

My sister.

[osuche]

Taking a nap

[hot_shot_uk69]

imagining lying down with osuche.. he he

[IowaMan]

My friend who had the partial liver transplant back on Jan. 10. She's back in the hospital and not doing very well. I hate this fucking disease so damn much! :mad:

[grl2naughty]

My friend, and how I am amazed by the way they care. :)
Thank you, and you know who you are. ;)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Hoping I can stay awake until my sweetie gets here.

[maddy]

Not a whole lot, I've done my best not to think much today.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

How taking the next step makes me a little anxious.

[osuche]

How well my party went, and how content I feel right now.

Of course, tomorrow I'll have Hell to pay :rofl:

[dicksbro]

Two of my sons being out of work right now.

[IowaMan]

Just finished reading the latest update on my friend who is hospitalized. :(

[IAKaraokeGirl]

((IowaMan))

[IowaMan]

(((((IAKG)))))

I just wish there really was some way I could help her.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

The answer to the $64,000.00 question.

[osuche]

How good dinner will taste :slurp:

[IowaMan]

Hoping the heat comes back on at a friend's place ASAP and how thankful I am that she doesn't live where I do right now.

[osuche]

Hoping the heat comes back on at a friend's place ASAP and how thankful I am that she doesn't live where I do right now.

No heat. It's 45F in here - which is OK with a sweater.

I think we'll gut it out and call someone on Monday :p

[IowaMan]

Right now I'm thinking about a dream I had last night and how incredibly great it would be if somehow it were to become reality. I would be an unbelievably happy man, I really think I would be.



Also hoping that the "let's wait 'til Monday and cuddle under the electric blankets" thing worked for Mr. & Mrs. Osuche. Oh the fun he'd better have had. :p

[wyndhy]

i got a few things on my mind that i'm gonna share:

just because someone doesn’t share your interests doesn’t mean they aren’t interesting.

just because someone doesn’t agree with you doesn’t mean they are being hateful, nor do they deserve your hate.

just because you don’t approve doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

just because someone is unlike you doesn't mean they are unlikable.

just because you might not be all that crazy about someone doesn’t mean you get to spit all over, or even ignore, any kindness they show you.

just because you don't want to doesn't mean you get to say no-one can.

just because someone does or says something you'd rather they didn't doesn't mean they did it only to make you mad.

just because you are a part of this world doesn't mean it revolves around you.

just because i typed all that doesn't mean you have to read it or even agree.

[osuche]

I think I agree with her ^^^

Some of my best friends have very different opinions from me

[Lilith]

been spending too much time at playgroup???? ((hugs))

[osuche]

My $2000 heating system fix...and no home warranty :banghead:

[sodaklostsoul]

Worried about Pixies who are sick.
Praying for non-pixies who are sick.
Dreading the next 2 months of BS with the store closing.
Almost feeling ill with the not knowing of what all is going on at work. It's hard to walk into the store knowing it's leaving.

Mind is pretty full lately.

[wyndhy]

been spending too much time at playgroup???? ((hugs))
playgroup? these are adults i'm talking about.:p

:D (((hugs)))

[dicksbro]

How deep the snow will actually get. Already looks like 4" or so. :(

[IAKaraokeGirl]

The phone call I'm waiting on.

[grl2naughty]

My other half and what I am going to do to him tonight. :hot:

[osuche]

How many new things I have to pack into my schedule
How lucky I am in my friends
How much tomorrow will suck

[IowaMan]

I've got two notifications in my email that there have been updates posted about my friend who is in the hospital. None of the news has been good for the past few days and I'm afraid to think what I may read if I check to see what is new.

[grl2naughty]

That I should be sleeping right now, for at least an hour or two more anyway.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

((IowaMan))

[IowaMan]

Thanks IAKG, I'm trying to put out of my mind what I read. :(

.......... So, the thing that's on my mind right now is that I want to win the Powerball tonight. I'll buy a huge place somewhere tropical. Of course I'll name the place something that begins with the letter "N" so it would be a perfect destination for the next PAGAN retreat. Thing is I'm not patient enough to wait for '08 so we would have it ASAP. And yes, the whole thing is on me, airfare and all. Come one come all Pixies!

Of course, I've got to win that Powerball tonight first. :wish:

[WildIrish]

I'm kinda praying for ^^^ to win Powerball! :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

The errands I am running during lunch.

[osuche]

Hoping a friend isn't too down....and hoping he'll log in :D

[Coaster]

How freakin cold it is here!!!

[osuche]

How I could warm ^^^ up. ;) :hot:

[dicksbro]

Getting IowaMan's notification that we can pick up the tickets to go to his PAGAN bash following his Powerball win. :wish:

[osuche]

Why oh why I have so many meetings!

[sodaklostsoul]

Setting up a birthday gift.

A headache after shopping for 3 hours.

[grl2naughty]

Getting it on!!!! :D

[osuche]

How much my heating service bill will be. grr!

[WildIrish]

cold, hard nipples :D

[osuche]

cold, hard nipples :D


/me checks

yep. :D

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Monday's appointment.

[wyndhy]

ruby tuesday :D

[osuche]

How the Hell I'm going to get it all done...when all I want to do is run and hide!

[Pita]

^^^^Yup, or go have sex and forget that grades matter.

[osuche]

That sounds like a good idea, but my tummy hurts. :(

Right now, what's on my mind is how little mind I have left!

[sodaklostsoul]

How hard it is to go to work knowing our hard work will be leaving. I'm pissed at the way it's all being handled, I've lost respect for this company because of it. They don't tell us nothing, have'nt handed out all the papers, one store did'nt even get half the papers yet and this is all to start on the 15th and the company doing the closing has'nt even made a a visit yet. They still expect me to plaster a smile on my face and act like nothing is wrong.

I'm done venting now.

[osuche]

((((((soda)))))))

[IAKaraokeGirl]

((sdls))

[IowaMan]

((((Soda)))

I'm also hoping that the next time I find myself on an airplane (whenever that may be) that I don't end up in a situation like the fellow tasha is writing about in the "Erotic Novels" thread in her "A Tale, Twisted" story. :yikes:

[Lilith]

amen brother from another mother!^^^

[wyndhy]

if she had a nice time at the show last night

[osuche]

How many licks it takes to get to the center of a Hershey Kiss (specifically, the hugs) and why I never figure it out because I always start to chew. :yikes:

[IowaMan]

Some really, really not very good thoughts. :confused:

[IAKaraokeGirl]

My daughter's appointment tonight.

[Coaster]

^^How cute she looks in her AV, and........

the 12-18 inches of snow we're supposed to get!

[wyndhy]

a shower.

and sex.

[osuche]

Wishing dinner was ready already

[grl2naughty]

My daughter being sick. I wish she felt better.

[WildIrish]

ReaperWoman's boobs :D

[Pita]

summer vacation

[dicksbro]

Pagan '08

[sodaklostsoul]

Wondering if the postie is snooping thru Sharni's package I sent her.

Hoping IowaMan is doing well with the stuff he had going on.

Wishing today would'nt have to be as long as yesterday.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

[WildIrish]

My Funny Valentine

[grl2naughty]

Our weekend away. :)

[osuche]

How damn tired I am...and wondering if I have anything fun to read

[WildIrish]

How I might be going to the hospital today.

I've fallen victim to a quite violent sledding accident and am not in a good way at the moment.

[wyndhy]

(((gentle hug)))^^^ take care of that injury.

[grl2naughty]

Wishing WI a fast recovery!! OUCH!!! (((WildIrish)))

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Hoping that the drive home is less eventful than the one into work this morning.

[IowaMan]

Just sort of thinking back to the last serious relationship I had and how incredibly glad I am that I turned down her marriage proposal.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Thinking that, based on what I know, that I'm glad he ^^^ did, too.

[osuche]

Worried about WI and his sledding accident

I'm also wondering why life is sometimes so damn good!

[grl2naughty]

A special pixie man!!! :)

[maddy]

justice, sweet justice.

[dicksbro]

Tomorrow and then the busy weekend ahead.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Babysitters.

[osuche]

If I can crawl under a rock somewhere

[grl2naughty]

Our romantic weekend that we have planned, starting tonight. ;)

[IAKaraokeGirl]

How sometimes the brain works when you need it to. :)

[sodaklostsoul]

Deciding if I have a cold or if it's the dry heat in here.

Gotta find that steamer soon.

[Aqua]

Going to the stall... soon. :D

[WildIrish]

I'm talking to my mommy!

[osuche]

The rest of my long, long day

[PantyFanatic]

How to *punt* that lieing groundhog.:mad:

:nuts:

[IowaMan]

Yet another bad report from Mayo about my friend. Problems with her feeding tube and she's got another infection. :(

I really do wish I could take her place. The poor girl has been through so damn much these last couple of months. If I, or anybody, could just make it so that she could have a little bit of time where she felt like her old self........ :(

[IAKaraokeGirl]

((IowaMan)) and ((IowaMan's friend))

[wyndhy]

sleighriding

[osuche]

70F and sunny today. It was a good day to have a windown in my office. :p

Of course, it would have been a better day to be off of work

[IowaMan]

Right now I'm hoping the power doesn't go off again. It was off for about 15 minutes a little bit ago. Can't say I want that to happen when it's this cold here.


Hmmm, must've been a nice day in California today. My folks told me it was 84 in the LA area when I talked with them. :(

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Our dinner reservations.

[osuche]

Heading to the gym soon

[grl2naughty]

Thinking that I wish it was 5:00.

[smithy020]

wishing the football had kicked off already,

And that i didnt have to go to work tomorrow

[IAKaraokeGirl]

My appointment tomorrow morning.

[osuche]

Listing to two confused people talking each other in circles

[wyndhy]

why some people just will not say thank you. it's really very simple, you see...when someone pays you a compliment or does you a favor or shows you some manners, you say THANK YOU! and it doesn't even hurt a bit.

[Oldfart]

That involves thinking of people outside yourself or having a solid grounding in manners.

[IowaMan]

Wondering if a couple of my favorite restaurants in the city where I went to grad school are still open.

[osuche]

Wondering if I am going insane or not...I think I just emailed something really, really stupid to a friend

[IAKaraokeGirl]

The positives and negatives.

[wyndhy]

That involves thinking of people outside yourself or having a solid grounding in manners.
you're not kidding...i was at the grocer's and there was a woman who had a small basket of items and the kind old man (cart laden) in front of her said...oh, here you go dear, you have just a couple things, you go before me. and all she said was, oh, good...i thought i was going to have to wait in this stupid line forever and i hate those damn self checkouts.

not only was she rude but she felt the need to curse!?! :whack: shame on her. he shoulda changed his mind and made her wait. i wished i were in the same line 'cause i woulda objected out of sheer spite.

not saying thank you is one of my biggest pet peeves...my two year old has better manners than many of the adults i see.

[WildIrish]

Wondering if I am going insane or not...I think I just emailed something to a really, really stupid friend


Moi? :confused:

[IAKaraokeGirl]

That WI thinks he's osuche's only friend. :D

[wyndhy]

that he's just her only really really stupid friend. :p:D

[WildIrish]

that he's just her only really really stupid friend. :p:D


I couldn't have been the only one thinking "hey, that's WI" :p

[grl2naughty]

Hearing a song on the radio and how it brings back memories.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Leaving in an hour!

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Someone's doctor appointment.

[WildIrish]

a nice healthy set of options

[IowaMan]

A friend whose plate is extremely full right now. I'm hoping that they find some way to find a happy balance in their life and get rid of a bit of stress.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

My brother.

[grl2naughty]

A email conversation with someone near and dear to me.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Coming into the office sometime this weekend.

[WildIrish]

my sweetie pie :heartbeat

[IAKaraokeGirl]

my sweetie pie :heartbeat


Mine, too...but I hope we don't have the same one, WI. :eek:

[IowaMan]

I'm thinking that it cannot possibly be a good sign that there are two trucks from the electric company driving around my block during an ice storm. Gotta think that means they're worried we're going to be losing power at some time during the night.


DB, if this crap hasn't made it to you yet................ run for cover and head to Lilith's place for hot wings. :nod:

[Lilith]

I'm not sharing the bleu cheese

[Neige]

A trip to New England?

[IAKaraokeGirl]

A trip to New England?

Neige is coming to see me and get some pizza sauce? :line:

[Neige]

Neige is coming to see me and get some pizza sauce? :line:

Oooooooo there is another reason to go to New England!!! :D

[Irezumi Kiss]

I'm hoping that there's nobody stupid at the lounge when I go down there in a few minutes to get my drink on. I never get many drunk women sitting down and talking to me, but sure get a lot of drunk guys I don't really wanna talk to!

[1nutworld]

I'm not sharing the bleu cheese

If Lil and DB are getting together for something "hot" wouldn't it be "blew cheese" ??

[sodaklostsoul]

*groan* that was bad Nut!!!! LOL

Thinking its time for bed.

[osuche]

How much I've missed you guys (((Pixies)))

[IowaMan]

I may have a decision to make pretty soon that will be pretty big and I'm trying to go through all of the options and consequences in my mind so I can hopefully make the right decisiion if/when the time comes.

[Lilith]

Telling him what I tell my students. Make sure that the decision is a good one for YOU.

[IowaMan]

Telling him what I tell my students. Make sure that the decision is a good one for YOU.
Thanks Lil. :x:

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Sleet and snow and freezing rain across the midwest.

[seminalfluid]

How good this feels right now...*sigh*

[osuche]

What to talk to my mom about.

[sodaklostsoul]

Wondering if IowaMan lost power.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Based on my experiences the last 24 hours with the midwest, sodaklostsoul, I bet he did.

[sodaklostsoul]

I'm thinking your right IAKG.

[Lilith]

That the rain is coming and I'm not sure what I want to do with myself today.

[Booger]

Nothing I lost it and I wiating to see if Lilith knows where it is.

[osuche]

When my mom is going to wake up, and why she sleeps so much?

[1nutworld]

Just doing my best to catch everyone up. As of 2 this morning IowaMan had indeed lost power because of the storm. It was out for about 6 hours yesterday, and I saw him online, very briefly, early this morning, when he disappeared, so I'm guessing that his power went back out.

[PantyFanatic]

That would fit with this (http://www.kcci.com/news/11103001/detail.html) information.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Yep. My former boss called me yesterday afternoon after her power went out.

They also cancelled flights into/out of Midway last night after 6:00 p.m. The kids were scheduled to fly at 6:50, so they rebooked them this morning. That flight was also cancelled. After I waited for--not kidding--54 minutes to have my call answered at Southwest, I discovered that Southwest is not allowing unaccompanied minors at all today into Chicago and about six other midwest airports.

After a second call to Southwest (this time only waiting 42 minutes), and after much begging, I am now flying with my kids to Chicago tonight, then flying back first thing in the morning. Yay me. Does anyone know of the most comfortable spot in Midway to catch some sleep? :rolleyes:

[sodaklostsoul]

Thanks Nut!!! Was wondering if Chey & Cobalt lost power too. Sorry IAKG!!!! And thanks PF!

[grl2naughty]

How everyone in the midwest is doing with out!!! Some have power now and some don't. All the bad weather is suppose to be heading east.

[dicksbro]

Knock on wood, we've done pretty well. Very limited icing ... not as bad as we feared ... and our power hasn't gone out. I think the worst is past so maybe we'll come of out this one in good shape. Thoughts go out to those who haven't been as lucky.

[osuche]

Why I have the damn hiccups.

[Miss-Honey-Bee]

Filth, as always. hehe x

[Oldfart]

Pray share, with pictures and explanatory notes.

[Miss-Honey-Bee]

I don't think I could possibly illustrate what is going on in my head, and I didn't think to take pictures last night while it was happening LOL x

[Lilith]

Whether they will feel betrayed when they get the damn test and don't know how to do some of it.

[Oldfart]

Betrayed, or stupid?

[IowaMan]

I'm really wishing I was better with words.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

That IowaMan's words have always been perfect to me. ((IowaMan))

[IowaMan]

That IowaMan's words have always been perfect to me. ((IowaMan))
I appreciate that but I'm struggling with it at this very second. I just can't find the words so I guess this will have to do for right now.

(((((((((((((((((((((((IAKG)))))))))))))))))))))

[IAKaraokeGirl]

Thank you. :kisser:

I have my family on my mind...and my aunt specifically.

[Lilith]

Betrayed, or stupid?

either, both. It all means I failed.

[rabbit]

either, both. It all means I failed.

:trout:




You know better than that. Those children are lucky to have you.

...and so are we...


:x:

[sodaklostsoul]

Lots. Its so full up there that I keep getting headaches today.

[Oldfart]

Lil,

Remember the story of the man who had to teach the horse to sing to save his life?

As I read it you have taught the Boys as much as they were capable of learning within the framework of their social and behavioral difficulties, given the resources allowed to you.

Where's the failure, except in your expectations?

Has anyone at the school brought up this "failure"?

[IowaMan]

The fact that I've got a doctor's appointment in a few hours and should probably go back to bed and try to get at least a little bit of sleep.

[osuche]

SUpermarkets and their value chain

[IowaMan]

A brief story I saw on the news a little bit ago. Something that happened in an area where a friend of mine lives. I know that they are probably okay (I've got absolutely no reason to believe otherwise) but it just upset me and sort of scared me a bit.

[dicksbro]

Getting the brakes done on my Mazda this Friday.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

My kids.

[WildIrish]

running away and building a tarpaper shack in the woods somewhere

[IowaMan]

Answer: Four


Question: How many times has the power gone out and come right back on here at my house today.


Uh oh, Spaghetti-O's :yikes:

[osuche]

Whethre I should be diligent or just goof off a little bit more.

I need a mental health day

[WildIrish]

Redevelopment programs, construction budgets, marketing campaigns & :boobs:

[IowaMan]

It's starting to sleet. I think I'll go lather up and shave my balls now before the lights go out. :yikes:

[sodaklostsoul]

Whethre I should be diligent or just goof off a little bit more.

I need a mental health day
You get mental health days?!?!?!?

I don't even get sick days. :(

[Booger]

Redevelopment programs, construction budgets, marketing campaigns & :boobs:


if you mix the :boobs: with everything else you might be able to cut some cost.

[Oldfart]

Mrs Oldfart was watching the Lehrer Hour, one of the foreign news programs brought by our SBS Television network yesterday when the subject of the new HPV vaccine came up.

A woman came on the show arguing against the mandated mass vaccination (with an opt-out for people with legitimate objections) on the basis of a perception of insufficient testing.

Mrs Oldfart couldn't understand how something which may save the lives and fertility of hundreds of thousands of women could be stalled because a miniscule number of people may have an unspecified adverse reaction.

She's interested in hearing how the Pixies ladies feel about this emotive issue.

[Lilith]

I think we still have people here who were affected by the use of drugs that caused serious malformations and it makes people on edge. The other thing I am seeing is that the religious right is equating this vaccine with permission to be sexual.

Having had loved ones, family members, co-workers, and even Pixies who have suffered due to this virus, I am for vaccination. I'm wondering if the vaccine could be administered at an even younger age so the stigma of it being associated with sexual transmission would be lessened. The truth is that men can spread this virus with no symptoms and that is what makes it so dangerous. It does not matter if you are fucking around at 14 or is you are a virgin on your wedding day. The virus knows no difference.

i have a problem with mandated vaccinations only because i have a problem with almost anything that governments do that mandates what i do to my own body, or the bodies of my kids (and don't anyone take that to mean sexual or physical abuse, those are clear and present dangers). it's just my nature to be persnickety about these things. who has the right to determine if a person's objections are legitimate? what are the criteria?

The story I just read...... It was :hot:

Pertinent questions! :)

I have mixed feelings about this. While I totally agree that it rubs me the wrong way to have someone dictate what must be injected into my body...without diligent efforts to maintain immunization programs here and strengthen them worldwide, diseases seen 50 years ago (such as polio) remain a threat today.

Very good and serious topic Wyndhy :thumb:

I too have an involuntary recoil from 'government mandates'. Coming up at in a different societal culture of individualism, personal responsibility and national pride of individual uniqueness, it has been a slow adjustment as we've evolved towards a more socialistic system. The trade offs have been many, but with few exceptions, it has been positive for our society for the most part.

On the other side of the coin has come the realization that with modern technological capabilities, we now have (rather THEY have) the ability to create sweeping, long term change at a rate that does not allow for the reviews and the adjustments of the learning curve necessary. As 'credibility' and blind faith in our government diminishes, it certainly causes conflict in foundations such as mine. As WI referenced, medical advancements have changed communicable diseases that at one time were meaningful threats to every family. And as Lil pointed out, there were devastating errors made along the way.

My personal belief in "advancement through constant evolution, not revolution" becomes more the guideline I function by.

And may you enjoy the Chinese curse of "living during interesting times". ;)

cull the herd, baby, cull the herd... :D

seriously though, i wonder ... can there be that many people who will refuse the vaccination? will they ever outnumber the ones who choose to be vaccinated?

You're diabolical! Here I am thinking that you are all "keep your laws off my body" and what you're really out to do is shorten the line at the grocery store! :roflmao:

Hoping that Cheyanne and Cobalt (as well as the rest of the people in that part of my state) make it through this latest storm okay. They just broke in on a local TV station and showed some video from near where they live and it looked absolutely terrible.

In my state if you refuse to innoculate your child, the department of children and families as well as the department of health do a home inquiry to determine the risk to other children before signing some sort of "objector" paperwork that will allow your child to attend day care or school.

[wyndhy]

in my commonwealth, children can not attend school under any circumstances unless they've been vaccinated.

btw, why am i proud of you?:D

Cuz you're a brown-noser! :p
