My advice to you is to relax, invest in some astroglide and try to enjoy it as a new experience....

Despite Uphill Climb, Reid Is Poised to Muscle Health Care Through Senate
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is awaiting final word from the Congressional Budget Office on costs and coverage implications of the still-secret bill he submitted more than two weeks ago.

Under pressure from the White House, Majority Leader Harry Reid says he plans to bring a health care reform package to the floor of the Senate next week, and his goal is to see it passed by the end of the year.
But he faces an uphill climb in getting the required 60 votes necessary to start debate.
First, Reid is awaiting final word from the Congressional Budget Office on costs and coverage implications of the still-secret bill he submitted more than two weeks ago.
The Nevada senator advanced the House health care bill, which narrowly passed 220-215 on Saturday, to the Senate legislative calendar next week, allowing him to move the procedure along in the absence of an actual Senate bill. The move also permits him to have the Senate bill, once it has a price tag, to skip the committee process and go straight to debate.
But three Democrats -- Sens. Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana -- and independent Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut have told Reid they want the legislative text of the bill and a final CBO score available online for 72 hours before beginning a debate.
If Reid gets 60 votes, Republicans will require that 30 hours be expended after the cloture vote before the official debate can begin, possibly extending the process into next weekend.
Reid is scrambling to advance the health care bill out of Senate as fast as possible to meet President Obama's stated goal of signing legislation this year. But that deadline is looking increasingly improbable because the Senate, if it can pass a bill, and the House would still have to reconcile their versions before a final bill can be sent to the president -- a process certain to generate contentious negotiations.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announced Wednesday that the House could be in session Dec. 21 and 22 in an effort to move the legislation across the finish line.
"As action on health insurance reform legislation moves to the Senate, the House is updating its schedule for November and December to reflect that, and to ensure there is time to complete our work on other important issues," he said in a written statement.
Separately, an abortion dispute that sharply divided House Democrats and nearly scuttled their version of health care legislation is already exposing fault lines among Senate Democrats.
Nelson told Fox News that he would not vote for a health care bill unless it contains the same restrictions on federal funding for abortions that were inserted into the House bill and nearly caused a revolt among Democratic supporters of abortion rights.
But Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., argued that the restrictions -- which would prohibit women who receive federal subsidies from getting insurance coverage for abortion, even if they used their own money -- went too far.
Democratic leaders say they are still confident that they can overcome the obstacles. When asked if it's possible to get a bill out of the Senate by Christmas, a senior Senate Democratic leadership aide told Fox News, "We can get a bill done and into conference by mid-December."
Sense of Inner Peace – True Rednecks are at peace with the world, and this is not just because they have guns in every room of their home. They are not remotely concerned with what others may think of their Redneck lifestyle.
High Sense of Duty and Honor – True Rednecks will defend their sacred honor and will not tolerate those who disparage their families, traditions or loved ones. Many a surprised New Yorker has pondered this while visiting an Emergency Room after flipping off a Redneck.
Disregard for Time – True Rednecks do no respect man-made timelines. Their lives are lived one day at a time. True rednecks may put cars up on blocks for a decade before restoration even begins.
Disregard for Man-Made Mores – True Rednecks will follow their tastes and desires without regard for social customs and that which might constitute “appropriate” behavior in polite company. Rednecks are not constrained by outsider opinions or what Madison Avenue dictates about taste, so they are free to embrace whatever they choose without guilt or remorse.
Honoring Ancestors – Real Rednecks know details about every one of their ancestors who fought in the American Revolution and the Civil War. Ardent patriots, true Rednecks will always fly the Star Spangled Banner right above the Stars and Bars on every national holiday. True Rednecks will also participate in war reenactments as a way of honoring the Redneck sacrifices of their ancestors.
Those of us who are VN Vets try our best to honor those who serve our country.
Our motto is.. "Never Again"... Never Again will our soldiers be treated like we were when we came back from Viet Nam.
Today, although overcast and rainy was a bright day for us....
President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism.
But the mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq.
Bush's mistake came in his belief that this country is the same one his father fought for in WWII. It is not.
Back then, they had just come out of a vicious depression.
The country was steeled by the hardship of that depression,
but they still believed fervently in this country. They knew that the people had elected their leaders,
so it was the people's duty to back those leaders.
Therefore, when the war broke out the people came together, rallied behind, and stuck with their leaders,
whether they had voted for them or not or whether the war was going bad ly or not.
And war was just as distasteful and the anguish just as great then as it is today.
Often there were more casualties in one day in WWII than we have had in the entire Iraq war.
But that did not matter. The people stuck with the President because it was their patriotic duty.
Americans put aside their differences in WWII and worked together to win that war.
Everyone from every strata of society, from young to old pitched in.
Small children pulled little wagons around to gather scrap metal for the war effort.
Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for war bonds to help the effort.
Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition trying their best to join the military.
Women doubled their work to keep things going at home.
Harsh rationing of everything from gasoline to soap, to butter was imposed,
yet there was very little complaining.
You never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the President.
Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and entertainers
who ran off to visit and fawn
over dictators of hostile countries
and complain to them about our President.
Instead, they made upbeat films and entertained our troops to help the troops' morale.
And a bunch even enlisted.
And imagine this: Teachers in schools actually started the day off with a Pledge of Allegiance,
and with prayers for our country and our troops!
Back then, no newspaper
would have dared
point out certain weak spots in our cities where bombs could be set off to cause the maximum damage.
No newspaper would have dared
complain about what we were doing to catch spies.
A newspaper would have been laughed out of existence
if it had complained that German or Japanese soldiers
were being 'tortured' by being forced to wear women's underwear,
or subjected to interrogation by a woman,
or being scared by a dog or did not have air conditioning.
There were a lot of things different back then.
We were not subjected to a constant bombardment of pornography,
perversion and
promiscuity in movies or on radio.
We did not have legions of crack heads, dope pushers and armed gangs roaming our streets.
No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism.
He made the mistake of believing that we still had the courage and fortitude of our fathers.
He believed that this was still the country that our fathers fought so dearly to preserve.
It is not the same country. It is now a cross between Sodom and Gomorra and the land of Oz.
We did unite for a short while after 9/11,
but our attitude changed when we found out that defending our country would require some sacrifices.
We are in great danger.
The terrorists are fanatic Muslims.
They believe that it is okay, even their duty, to kill anyone who will not convert to Islam.
It has been estimated that about one third
or over three hundred million Muslims
are sympathetic to the terrorists cause...
Hitler and Tojo combined did not have nearly that many potential recruits.
So... We either win it - or lose it - and you ain't gonna like losing.
America is not at war. The military is at war.
America is at the mall, or watching the movie stars.
( Remember Obama said in his book "Audacity of Hope",
'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction'.....
"This is an outrage, clearly this is a racially motivated hate crime." - Jesse Jackson
"Obviously this is just another case of the privileged class oppressing the underclass." Al Sharpton
"I don't know, not having been there and seen all the facts, what role race played in all that, but, I think it's fair to say that; #1, any of us would be pretty angry and; #2, that the woman acted, uh, stupidly." Pres. Obama
Last time i posted a thank you to our veterans a bunch of lowlife liberals flagged it. That being said..i want to wish all you veterans out there a happy veterans day and want to thank all of you for your brave unselfish service to this country. I just wished that everyone would appreciate you guys and gals as much as i do. God bless all of you.
==============================================================================
Thank you for the kind words. I have been working all day and not able to get on here so I turned in just in time to see your post. I served in the Air Force (4 years) and in the Army (5 years) and then another 4 years in the Georgia Air National Guard. I have seen and done a lot and in many cases I can say "been there...done that" but no matter what we have done there is nothing like coming home to a warm welcome from family, friends and the community.
I was in a war zone for a total of three years ( 3 tours) and during that time and I will admit I have been so scared I could not talk, been so happy I could yell from the mountain top, and can say I did my job.
Most of all I am happy and proud of what I did, would do it again (too old now) and when I see the current crop of young men and woman doing their part I could not be more proud of them.
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me
The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Yup.
Beauty-slut Prejean has played the FOX boys like Paganini played the violin...
Better yet, she walked the Christians off the edge just as surely as Tawana Brawley tanked Sharpton.
There's something about Carrie Prejean that makes us suspicious.
Much as her book-flap copy might like to believe, our eyebrows are not cocked because of the former pageant queen's beliefs. Look, Sarah Palin's an acquired taste, too, but we're not driven to concoct wild theories about why she's doing Oprah next week. (In that case, we'd only be suspicious if Palin didn't do Oprah.)
So, no, it's not Prejean's ideas that make us think she's up to something. It's her timing.
As in, can you believe her sex-tape scandal broke four days before her book-flap copy—and the rest of the tome—was published?
We can't.
And can you believe Prejean appeared on Sean Hannity to talk about how humiliated she was to be talking on Sean Hannity about her sex-tape scandal—on the very same day Still Standing hit stores?
We can't.
To clarify, we can and do believe that both things happened because they did. But we are suspicious as to why they happened. And, more specifically, as to when they happened.
Let's say you're Carrie Prejean, and it's been a slow couple of months. At first you're grateful for the time away from the headlines, because, hey, you've got a book to write. Maybe you've even been thinking of reading one. Whatever. You've got work to do.
And then you're done. Your book about the trials and tribulations of being you are done, and you can't understand why it took Tolstoy, like, a hundred years to write War and Peace. Whatever. You've got a book to sell.
Ah, but now you've got a problem. You're old news. Your dustup with Perez Hilton seems like a million YouTube views ago. Your clashes with the Miss California organization are boring to anyone outside of the tiara circle. Your best publicity bet of the fall—the pageant people demand to be reimbursed for your breast-enhancement surgery—fizzles. (A busty beauty queen who's not 100 percent natural? How unnovel.)
You're stuck. And, worse, the clock is ticking. Your book is due out Nov. 9. Palin's Going Rogue—Going Rogue, oh, how you must envy that title!—is due out Nov. 17. That gives you only about a week to command the public's attention as the victim of the liberal press. What to do? How to top a former vice-presidential candidate who killed in the talent competition during her own pageant days?
Let's say you channel surf one night past Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson and Kim Kardashian. And you pause to admire each woman's enduring fame. And you start to think. And you remember a little something-something you once made for a boyfriend you loved and cared about. And you decide to accidentally and not at all on purpose leave your little something-something on your roof, with a big, blinking neon sign that says "Absolutely Do Not Take This Tape of Me Pleasuring My Own Self to Smut Peddlers Who Might Leak Its Existence to the Press Right Around the Time of the Publication of My New Memoir, Still Standing, Available Everywhere Nov. 9."
Let's say you're brilliant—and you would've gotten away with it, too, if it hadn't been for our darned suspicions!
If McCain was president right now, Marietta would be talking how great the DOW is doing, the ecomomy is rebounding, he would be reminding us the employment figures are a lagging indicator, blah, blah.. whatever Sean Hannity tell hims....so fucking stupid. Political discourse in this country is idiotic.
WAY to GO OBAMA!!!! The Dow is the highest its been since BUSH shoved it into freefall. The rate of unemployment is drastically dropping. Construction is slowly beginning a come back. BUSH almost destroyed this country, and walked away, dusting his hands of it. My hand is out to Obama to begin reversing this disaster so quickly. Bush, however, will go down in history as the worst American president. Bush even blows away Richard Nixon, LOL See the facts below, including a one year graph of the stock market:
IT SOUNDS LIKE A FANTASY for the 16 year old boy to get to screw a dumb woman teacher, and a nightmare for the slut teacher who does not respect her position of being a teacher..
A young boy will probably not be injured very much by fucking a slut, I mean, teacher, unless her husband finds out about it.
.
Most skinny stupid looking 16 year old boys will be lucky to find a blow up doll to screw, much less a hot teacher.
I don't think a young man can get pregnant . How could it hurt a 16 year old man to bang a hot teacher? Emotionally? Let me guess, he will be pouty and upset because he can't fuck all the teachers? Bullshit.
GET REAL.
It is an attack on women to be prosecuted for sex. I can understand them being disciplined and talked to and maybe "fucked" again, as punishment, but not prosecuted. How could a judge possibly stick it to a sexy woman for "getting fucked" in any situation unless they did it in front of the other students...But now that is bordering on the fringe of more "fantasy".
BUT I PROPOSE A SOLUTION:
ATTENTION; Some good community advice for ... All Hot Teachers.
