Today [3]

I suppose sharing with me is out of the question?
They probably are all gone by now!

No Sharing .. And I'm working on it.
When they're gone .. I might see if Google can translate what I'm eating.

Please, just one, I have to have them today!
Tomorrow I start the prep for Colonscopy and can't have anything but chicken broth and sprite. Wednesday is when the insert garden hose with camera attached in search of my dignity.

THW I sure hope and pray you get a clean one.. nothing at all shows up..
that's the best of best.Good luck..
I'll send sweets after it's all over with .. doctors offices and especially hospitals never leave anyone with any dignity !!!!

This just made my day
I've just been watching a two hour best of Glastonbury pop festival on the tv.
Slash and his band were on stage doing "Sweet Child of Mine"
The camera did one of those crowd pans and settled on a little girl of about 5 or 6.
She was on her mother's shoulders miming the verse (not the chorus!) of the song.
Nearly bought a tear to my eye.

Good to know our future leaders will know how to rock!

A funny coincidence, I watched the 2 hour 20 minute Glastonbury festival documentary yesterday evening in Finnish television, having nostalgic moments remembering my two visits there, 2004 to see Paul McCartney perform and sometime early 80's (don't recall the exact year or performers).

I had my driving lesson, which was going OK until a old man went into us at a junction. I stalled out and as I went to restart the engine it just happened that he didn't look where he was going and touched the gas pedal, thinking that I had gone and of course I was still there and bang!

The damage is the back bumper, so the instructor's car needs a new bumper. At least I didn't have to pay for this lesson, so I still have the money for next week.

Sounds like an interesting lesson.
I touched up your Avatar if you like it.

I hope your driving instructor doesn't see this post.....http://www.sevenforums.com/812157-post1.html
If he does, you'll never get your driving license!

Don't worry I drive alot worse in my games than in real life.

Thanks LPt!
In the past they have found numerous tags and all were pre-cancerous and hoping that trend continues.
You will be in charge today and tomorrow to keep things going in my absence.
All you have to do is when you post think of :devil2: ways to answer the member.
By doing this it will take the heat off of me for awhile.

Tonight I watched a documentary about beauty contests for kids. I'm sorry if out there some parents of these kid beauty pageants are reading this, but that is so grotesque, absurd and pervert.

This girl is 7 (SEVEN!) years old, dressed and made up as an adult vamp, acting like a strip-tease dancer in a lousy third class strip joint:



Please inform me if you know about any website or petition against this, I'll sign immediately!

 

[Joan Archer]

I agree with you Kari, and looking at that snip I can't believe that girl is only seven.

The poor child isn't being allowed to be a child by the look of her, I blame the parents wanting to live out their fantasies through their children, it's not right and should be stopped.

 

[CarlTR6]

Kari, I agree with you 100% These kids pageants are really moms trying to live vicariously through their little daughters.

 

[noobvious]

Kari, I agree with you, Joan, and Carl, it is just plain wrong. The parents should be ashamed of themselves.....and any financial earnings should be off limits to the parents, and set aside for the children.

It seems that 70's feminism was all for nothing. The increasing objectivication of women in the media is apparent. What were once top shelf magazines are now "lifestyle" mags on the middle shelf.
Similarly there is a creeping sexualisation of children-bratz dolls, beauty pageants, talent competition tv shows that encourage children to cavort around dressed like Beyonce and so on.
I blame the grandparents.

On that note are you a firm believer in this nature over nurture thing or vice versa? By that definition you can only A: blame the child or B blame parents/God/Natural selection .

Of course the way things have been going with me jinxing the football this might as well be my fault too.

Don't get me wrong, I'm as much against this sort of thing too but I fear it's filling a gap.

It used to be that you grew up with a strong religion and ethical code which resisted these sorts of things (but also has many many many downsides which I won't winge about now). Now a days with so many people growing up without religion and not neccesairily a strong set of morals which allows the media to move your opinions on what you 'should' look like much more easily.

That's just my theory but it does seam to fit.

I beg your pardon! None of kids or my grand kids have ever participated in such garbage.

Kari .. so very sad.. I don't understand any parent doing this.
I really think this should outlawed... these children are pushed to grow up way too fast.. never get to be children.
