Welcome Back Anna!

[BigJon]

Sheesh! Ask a simple question . . .(It was I who originally asked when Anna's next shift was happening.)

I am none of the above, I just enjoy watching her work on the webcam when I listen to b.com. Nothing perverse. Perhaps now would be the right time to go on a rant over the over-politization of human interaction and relationship in today's world. . . ah, perhaps not.

I'm with OT on this one.... delete the thread.

[Nicole Marie]

Hey folks... big breath. The post is not going to be deleted. Let enjoy the day, Christmas is going and I for one am looking forward to gifts, family and down time. Merry Holidays and I hope you all have a safe and healthy one!

P.S. Dai, I was giving barfle credit. He said: "From a masculine point of view, the first thing I think men see when we see a woman is how she looks. Well, duhh." My point is well duhh barfle EVERYONE gives first impressions on people based on looks, women too. It's not a guy thing only. I just wanted him to not make it a "guy thing". You've way over shot my comment.

Geez, I can't even get a compliment and recognize it.

Thanks, YRH, and maybe I'll get my head out of my... well, you know.

I must say, it seems to me these statements come from a very hostile place, and I feel that's quite different from the usual flavor of discussion here on the BBB. I find it wearisome...

"...first person that attempts to correct me will find out exactly how not harmless I am..."


"...then please remember three things that I keep in mind when I'm in a touchy situation:

There is no more muscle on the outside of a knee in someone who is 100 pounds than someone who is 300 - one short sharp kick will blow the knee out and reduce the person to groveling pain.

It requires only slightly less pressure ( I used to know the PSI) to remove an ear from a skull as it does to break a collarbone. Both are achievable by even an untrained person who can grab ahold...and if you're really fast, you can do it in one downward strike...

I don't advocate any of these, nor encourage anyone to do them. However, the last time I was in a bad situation, by the time I was done describing to the person what I was going to do, it was much, much calmer..."


"only if I could bonk them repeatedly in the head while I had their throat while yelling out:

GET - OVER - IT...

with the Eagles song playing in the background..."

[barfle]

Whew, I'm glad it wasn't me you were quoting.

However, I must say that while I generally abhor violence, it's a good idea to be able to handle someone who doesn't.

[OperaTenor]

I realize I'm in the minority. I've never laid a finger on, or hit anyone out of anger in my entire life, not so much as a schoolyard or sibling(I'm the youngest of seven) fight. That's not to say I haven't been put to the test. I've been hit or threatened more times than I care to recall, and in every instance was able to stand the situation down without walking(or running) away without resorting to retaliatory violence or threats of any kind. When such seemingly knee-jerk, violent references as these are made, it leads me to believe the indivdual making them is either playing for a response(antagonizing), or has a particularly violent/angry take on human interaction. JMO, of course.

Good. I'm sorry I misread your post Nicole.

Howdy,

I'm glad that this thread hasn't been deleted. I was on vacation for a couple of weeks and it made for interesting reading when I got back.

It was I who made a statement earlier about starting a fan club for 3 other ladies that were in NM's pictures from the Christmas party. I'm pretty sure that there were no specific comments there about looks, etc. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about me.

Like most men, I am attracted to certain types of ladies. I think I'm old enough and mature enough to know where to draw the line though. Unfortunately, the world has plenty of people that cannot make that distinction, and spoil it for the rest of us. Normal people have to constantly be on guard against making offending statements.

Sad, really, because some people may never get to hear that others find them attractive. It shouldn't matter that one finds another attractive, even if that person is married, engaged, or has a boyfriend. I was told to "forget" about two of the above mentioned women, but did that affect my opinion of their looks? Nope. Was I going to act on my opinion? Nope.

Regards,
Tim B.

P.S. I also made a comment about Piqabo weighing (some small amount), soaking wet, based on her profile picture. Slender is attractive. Did I hop on a plane to "Paradise (So. Cal.)" to stalk her? Nope. Oops, is getting information out of the profiles considered stalking? Hope not.

[OperaTenor]

Sorry, Tim, it wasn't the hormones that were bugging me so much as the hostility coming through in some of the posts.

[BigJon]

Who Hooo!

BigJon

[barfle]

It's nice to hear your charming voice again.

[BigJon]

Who Hoo again!

Anna's going to take HRH's shift Feb. 11.

Two treats in one week.

Enjoying the 50 degree weather and good music today,
BigJon
