If you could go back in time and see any band live who would it be? I am torn between early AC/DC with Bon Scott or Black Sabbath 71-72, then again Buddy Holly would have been cool to see.
When I read your first sentence, I immediately thought of AC/DC. Loved the high energy of Angus Young. Definitely, AC/DC! Highway to Hell! You Shook Me All Night Long!
Speaking of ice cream......... there are so many "flavors" that are unique to or were made in Michigan. I'm curious if anyone is familiar with Vernor's Ginger Ale ( now owned and bottled by Dr. Pepper ) and Sanders Milk Chocolate Hot Fudge Topping? Both great with vanilla ice cream!
Not sure if I've heard of those. I've heard of Blue Bunny ice cream, but I believe I have yet to try that brand. Have you heard of it? And there's one called Blue Bell.
foo-foo, a great word that I bet could be found in the urban dictionary. I used foo-foo in this forum thread as well as in my blog. The word is much more pleasing to the ear than other words and merely means fussy.
Many moons ago, there were a group of men that objected that the employer afforded the women employees a lounge area in every restroom on every floor. Apparently, the intent of this lounge was to give the women a place to go if they were feeling poorly, but not bad enough to go home. So, the men filed a class action suit, saying that they were "discriminated against" because they were men and to put this all to rest, the company provided the men folk one lounge on the 12th floor of a 22 story building.
Now fast forward to the 21st century and women are given a "nursing" room, an area for nursing mothers to retreat to to express their milk. Do you men feel left out where you work? Do you need an area that is designated just for men? I don't know what would possibly ever be the reason, whether it be a real need or a mental health need..... Ha! Maybe you need a "wanking room", somewhere to go in the middle of the day where you can bust a nut which could put you in the right mindset to work til 5 or 6 pm?
A wanking room? How ingenious. You couldn't call it that though. "Personal Rejuvenation Area"?

I heard there used to be "crying rooms" in movie theaters where a mother could take her little one when it started crying but she could still watch the movie instead of missing it and nobody else would have to hear the baby or ****. --------------------------------------- added after 2 minutes
Not sure...maybe hard for some ladies to trust somebody else with the baby or they thought they could save some money. I'm wondering...in the olden days did women breastfeed in public? Did they allow breastfeeding in The Crying Room?
I've downloaded Candy Crush Saga on my phone and I just can't seem to stop playing ( unless, of course, I'm unable to successfully complete a level and I don't buy extra life so my penalty is a "timeout" ). I'm on level 29, I think I saw that there are 257 levels seems like this is going to be a very long game........
I got to level 75, I think, on FB, but only after spending about $200! I was shocked at how much I spent, so I quit. Now I play on the king dot com site, but I don't pay anything, so it's the same board three times, and it's timed. I don't mind. It's still fun!
Yahoo! I just finished level 29 ( 3 days after my post so I kinda lost track how long this level actually took )...... --------------------------------------- added after 169 hours
One week later........I finally finished level 30. At this rate, I don't think i will finish all 257 levels until I'm 302 years old!
No, I no longer play Candy Crush, I play online euchre and I've been playing word games. There are some gal pals, we get together about once a month for dinner and cocktails and one gal suggested that we incorporate something else into our evening, ie, cards, SCRABBLE, there's a new game Spontuneous (it's something to do with music and that sounds right up my alley). Regarding SCRABBLE, I've been in "training" by way of playing word games. Frankly, my eyes and mind have a difficult time processing all those scrambled letters and trying to make more then 4 letter words. Cripes, 7 letter words are my downfall, unless I'm lucky enough to pull letters that can be formed into a common word.
One of my friends insist that SCRABBLE is not about making the longest word, it's about word placement. Whatever!
I do not like the annoying, generic, boring shade of grey, looks like a crystal ball sitting in a base kinda Uncle Fester-esque avatars that everyone that didn't have an avatar now has.
My hair has been just about every colour under the sun.. I'm pasty pale, so blue goes well with my skin tone. And after being brunette for like 3 years, I decided I needed some color again.
Once the blue wears off I'm thinking either red or purple.
I wish I understood bitcoin and the bitcoin phenomenon. Below, is an article that I read and am really confused about how anyone can be taxed on something that isn't real.
• The U.S. government considers bitcoin property, meaning every single purchase made with bitcoin has to be reported on your taxes.
• If you've held those bitcoins for less than a year and sell them, that cash will be taxed as income. If you've held for over a year, it's taxed as a capital gain — which could run 20 percent.
• A bipartisan bill was presented to Congress in September in an effort to create a tax exemption for cryptotransactions under $600.
Whether you've used bitcoin as an investment or as a currency, you owe taxes on it.
As far as Uncle Sam is concerned, bitcoin is not currency. It's property. That means whenever you buy something with bitcoin, it's two transactions, not one. What you're actually doing is selling a property (bitcoin) for a cash value and then using money from that sale to buy a product. So every single purchase you make with bitcoin has to be reported on your taxes.
For many, though, bitcoin is just an investment. If you've held those bitcoins for less than a year and sell them, that cash will be taxed as income. If you've held for more than a year, it's taxed as a capital gain — which could run 20 percent. Adding on transaction and accounting fees could raise costs to 60 percent, as was the case for one early bitcoin adopter.
But here's the problem: Almost no one reports this.
From 2013 to 2015, fewer than 900 people each year reported bitcoin transactions to the IRS. That prompted the IRS in 2014 to label cyrptocurrency as property back and to recently serve a summons to Coinbase. In it, the agency called for the records of over 14,000 users who have "bought, sold, sent or received at least $20,000 worth of bitcoin in a given year."
A federal court narrowed the scope of the summons but ultimately ruled in favor of the IRS. The tax status of those transactions is still unknown.
Moving forward though, there may be some relief. A bipartisan bill, "The Cryptocurrency Tax Fairness Act," was presented to Congress in September. It's seeking to create a tax exemption for cryptotransactions under $600.
Some remain hopeful for amnesty, but it looks like Uncle Sam is still poised to get a decent cut of the bitcoin action.
This is all a mystery to me, a reflection of my age I am sure. I have read a little about bitcoins and other digital currencies and really have little grasp of what is going on.
Bitcoins are 'mined' using computers by some people, and I imagine they can be bought or sold by you or me if we know how. You don't have anything physical though, these 'coins' are held in wallets online somewhere.
I saw yesterday that a Japanese digital currency 'bank'? was hacked and lost over $400 million !!!!!!!! of customers currency.
I noticed an interesting post on a picture posted by disabledmalemodel
He seems to think that disabled people go 10, 15, 20 years or more without physical contact and to add insult to injury, their inability to pay for sex because often, they are on welfare/public assistance. He asks that people support sexual equality for the disabled.
I don't understand what he's seeking, sexual equality, does anyone have an idea?
[deleted image] --------------------------------------- added after 21 hours
Based on no knowledge whatsoever, I can readily accept the situation that he describes does exist and for a variety of reasons. Finances may be an element that plays into this but I think other issues are probably more important.
As for supporting sexual equality for the disabled I don't think it is for us, fully able people, to say what that means. We need to be advised by those who are suffering from this inequality as to what steps we can take to help them gain equality.
I guess what I was hoping to understand is how being disabled could or would factor into "sexual equality". Couldn't the same debate be made for people without jobs, homeless people, pensioners, etc?
Just my opinion, there's got to be a bigger underlying problem other than a wheelchair or crutches that keeps someone from fulfilling their sexual needs and desires.
I suppose that what I was trying to get at was that people's perceptions/predjudices relating to disabled people may well play into this inequality. So factors other than the physical constraints work against it.
I agree with you that sexual inequality applies to other sections of the community too. Which was why I said that we need to have it explained to us just what the sexual inequality is that he was referring to and how we, the fully abled can help overcome that predjudice.
As far as I am concerned, if you really want to "get lucky", all you need to do is just "put it out there", cuz somebody will oblige. But if you're looking for something more substantial, ie a "real relationship", that's altogether something different.....
