  1. I have to bump this picture again - it's so hot! Additional Comments: The exquisite EvaCharms... just beautiful!
  2. Thanks 777, interesting little read. I'm not allergic to peanuts at all - I love peanuts actually, and really enjoy having them on the plane... BUT, I wouldn't mind going a few hours on a plane without them - especially if it'd prevent someone from have a very serious reaction. It mentioned in that article that some people can suffer a reaction just from inhaling the proteins... If that's a common thing with peanut allergy sufferers then I think that, YES, absolutely, they should ban peanut stuff from the plane (because of the closely shared air). If that's a very rare thing though, and the vast majority of those allergic actually have to ingest peanuts/peanut products to have a reaction, then I think banning them from planes is a little silly... I don't want anyone to get sick or hurt, but there comes a point when you have to assume responsibility for your own (or your child's) health and safety (doesn't there?) If just breathing nut proteins is enough to endanger your life wouldn't you already be in the habit of wearing some sort of breathing filtration system? Of course, I don't know just how easy it is to ingest nut proteins without actually eating nuts though. Is it very easy to do this? Can you get really sick because everybody around you eats nuts and touches everything and then you touch everything, don't wear gloves and/or don't wash your hands then put your fingers in your mouth? Again, I wonder about the specifics and whether or not this is a society issue or a personal issue. I'm not judging either way, as I mentioned already, it's no skin off my back to go without peanuts on a flight... It'd be interesting to know all of the facts (and not just from one side or the other - real, actual facts).
  3. Yikes! That Jayme video is hot! Mmm... Jayme... thanks Cato! Spud, thanks for sharing Kate Mara... Oh man she's cute!
  4. Check out this cutie! Erin Chambers - I've seen her on television a couple of times...
  5. Thanks for the links bewlayb - great info. I like to nap on weekends, but I tend to do the 1 - 2 hour thing... and then, of course, I wake up all groggy and end up staying up late. I think I'll try that 20-30 minute nap. I feel great after napping, but always feel like I've wasted my valuable time-off sleeping (especially when the weather's so nice!) Maybe if I can master the quick power-nap I'll get the boost without the messed up schedule... Hmm... It would be awesome if I could actually train myself to wake up in 20/30 minutes and nap a bit at the office - I can totally relate to that after lunch "dip".
  6. @Naomi I can't say for sure, but I don't think this thread was specifically about "manners". The "thoughtfulness and courtesy" to which you referred, are more what I was responding about. Saying "thank you", or at least smiling at me when I hold the door open for you shows that you noticed I went out of my way to be kind to you, and shows me that you appreciate it... it's a sign of humility on your part, and shows respect for me. Now "manners" specifically, I agree with you on - I personally believe that curtsies and handkerchiefs are a complete waste of time. I also think it's silly to take offense to such things as belching. I do however, care about people treating me, and others with respect. Being "polite" in the sense of being considerate of others, is not, and will never be a waste of time. Hoping for respect from you is not holding myself above you, it's hoping you don't hold yourself above me. I believe we're equal no matter your or my education, profession, religion or race. "But if I do something you don't agree with/hurts your feeling/you don't understand you have the right to "kick my but" in hopes of adjusting my attitude?" Absolutely, you did interpret me correctly. I think the lot of us would be much better off if we all got used to standing up for ourselves and others. In fact, it appears you understand my point, and even agree with it... "Do you think anyone would be as nice to the guy yelling about the plane had they not been forced to because they were working? Obviously not as another person mentioned making a snide comment towards a passenger who felt the need to complain... He didn't just grin and take it like the guy working had to..." I think it's sad that no other passengers with 777flyer recognized that he was in not in a position to defend himself and/or didn't have the courage to put that jerk in his place on his behalf... I hope at least that someone said "thank you" to him - not because they had to, but because they appreciated him landing them safely on the ground. I don't agree that being thoughtful and courteous are ever a "waste of worry", I think they show respect. I don't really care whether you're an escort, a lawyer, a pilot, a welder or homeless - we all deserve to be respected.
  7. Personally, being one of those "nice guys", that gets stepped on frequently, I've been forced to develop a theory to help keem from going "postal" on somebody's @ss (which still happens ocassionally, but not nearly as much as I'm tempted some times! lol). I'm the guy that helps every single one of his friends move, but ends up moving himself. I'm the guy that helps every single one of his friends build their shed, drywall their basement, put up their fence... but ends up building his porch himself. I'm the guy that holds the door open while three or four people waltz through without so much as a smile or a "thank you". You know that guy. You know that girl. I have a feeling that a large percentage of the CERB community is made up of these most unfortunate folks. We're the people that give a sh!t - we don't live in a mirror-filled box. We do remember that we're surrounded by others trying to get through life just the same as us. We're the people that believe that we're all in this together and somehow feel that we have a responsibility to help one another. I'm not sure I'd agree that things are worse nowadays... I think maybe (at least here in North America) people are more likely to be rude because the fear of being punched really hard in the teeth is no longer there - LOL... Seriously, thank goodness for that right? I mean without the laws to protect us we might actually have to think twice about something we say or do to someone else... not like those totally barbaric periods in history when you could end up dead or very seriously hurt for not showing any respect to someone - humility sucks, no one should ever have to experience it. (lol - I'm not even sure which side my sarcasm is leaning!) Really, though, I think that people are naturally self-centered - you know? The whole self-preservation thing? I think though, that in this day and age people are allowed (maybe even encouraged) to let that instinct loose more than in other points in history. I think certain aspects of our society promote the feeling that we "deserve" something, that we have special "rights", that we are unique and special... that we're not "average" and just like everybody else. However, I think our self-centered nature has always been there - today, yesterday, 100 years ago, and 2000 years ago - without it we wouldn't have got this far really. If you don't believe me, I really pity you in the case of an oil, food, or water shortage - you're in for a very rude awakening. I think we'd all be better off if we kept that basic instinct in check, but unfortunately, I don't think most people do (or ever will). I think it's up to us few to hold open the doors (with or without the smile or "thank you") and fly around the thunderstorms. I'll keep helping my friends when they need it and hoping that they'll do the same for me... Every once and a while I'll lose my patience with someone, and kick their butt... maybe that'll make a difference in their attitude... maybe it won't... No matter what though, I choose to believe that I'm making the world at least a little better through my actions. Reddog01 - " ?Would you rather be swimming in the Atlantic?" - nicely handled! 777flyer, Reddog01 please continue to keep your passengers safe and sound, it's very much appreciated (especially by me if I happen to be on your plane!!!) - Good work guys! You rock.
  8. Congrats on the 1000th post! I really enjoy reading what you have to say, and look forward to more!
  9. Bwah ha ha! OMG that's hilarious! Thanks for sharing Carrie!
  10. Question for SP: Can I pay With change? Question for SP: Can I pay with change if it's rolled? I'm thinking of taking up pimping, interested ladies please contact me. Poll for the guys: How big is your little buddy? 9" + 6" to 9" I was in the pool.
  11. I use Neutrogena (original, not the mint one), it works well for me. I've also learned that I need to be very thorough when rinsing... I have to be really careful to rinse all of the soap and conditioner out completely. If you have dry and/or sensitive skin, any soap or chemical film left there can make it worse.
  12. Bizarre with John Byner (and Super Dave Osborne!)
  13. Well, it's official - the Leafs have taken first place! I'm pretty confident they can beat Chicago, but can they out-do the Rangers' record? Go Leafs go! Seriously though - good on Chicago! Well earned victory.
  14. To paraphrase me in this thread: "Where do I sign up to have the redheads thrust upon me?"
  15. Holy doubled-buttocks batman this is hot! ME (Monique & Erica), Erica_here4u - yummy squared!
  16. I have a thing for natural redheads... I'm more likely to notice a hot redhead before a hot brunette. I like all different hair colours though, blondes too - it really depends on the woman I guess... Beautiful ladies are beautiful ladies, not simply redheads, blondes or brunettes. I find really bright unnatural colours attractive sometimes too... You know? - those bright pinks and blues... I think that's pretty hot sometimes.
  17. Charlotte4U - hot! This picture is phenomenal - gorgeous! That sweet stomach, her shoulders, her breasts... her everything! Wow. Additional Comments: I love this pic - Jenny613 - HOT!!!
  18. And cheers to you! * raises glass, smiles shyly, and orders the lovely lady some more red wine * :wink:
  19. I heard something about a hot date with Karen Gillan?!?
