Oh, hey there Tomorrow, look who finally showed. Been waiting for maybe a lifetime or so. Remember that Beauty you told me to chase? Funny, how cute, well it laughed in my face. He delivered alright, yeah, plenty of Pain. And gravity poured all your Law down the drain…
You taunt me, oh Time, and play with my mind. Oh my, how you wreak havoc on my mortal heart, and from the end insist on starting. Death was cured the day I died, it grew inside me my whole life. Life is lonely, my soul is old. Vintage as my hope in love immortal.
Oh, hey there Tomorrow, why not look me in the eye? Been waiting to tell if you're Truth or a Lie. I shout at the heavens and sing to the stars a tune that I picked up from afar. It delivered, I'll prove it I've got a scar right on the place where once you broke my heart…
You taunt me, oh time, and play with my mind. Oh my, how you wreak havoc on my mortal heart, and from the end insist on starting. Death was cured the day I died, it grew inside me my whole life. Life is lonely, my soul is old. Vintage as my hope in love immortal.
I am in frickin excruciating pain right now - JUST LIKE EVERY DAY - and I don't want to say anything because nobody likes that person who is always complaining, nobody wants to hear about the same problems over and over. It's obnoxious. But right now I'm at my limit and - honestly - I just want someone to feel sorry for me. It's childish. It's selfish. AND it's how I feel. I am in such insane pain every second of my existence. So how much sympathy is it acceptable to expect?
You know, sometimes (not always, just when I'm feeling salty) I wish that you would experience this for just one day so you'd know how I feel. Not because I would want to inflict pain on someone else, not because you deserve it or because I want you to be in pain; just so you'd know. I think you might find that youd have a bit more respect for me…
Broken bridges, burned down walls
With each step I take, it seems I fall
Harder every time
Further the more I try
To catch ahold of some mirage
That taunts my soul, it breaks my heart
In pieces every time
Shattered, but still I try
I'm not there yet, by any means
It's the broken beams of my world
Keep falling down.
Boy, I'm not ahead (or so it seems)
But I'm chasing dreams
Though the days are longer
And the nights keep getting harder
One step forward, two more back
How long will it take until I lose track
Of the tears we both have cried
Of the sleepless lonely, lonely nights?
But silence can't explain the fog
And sadness tells no truth at all
So I press harder every time
I get further, the more I try
I'm not there yet, by any means
It's the broken beams of my world
Keep falling down.
Boy, I'm not ahead (or so it seems)
But I'm chasing dreams
Though the days are longer
And the nights keep getting harder
The days are longer
And the nights keep getting harder
I'm gaining ground
I'm gaining ground
I'm gaining ground
I'm gaining ground
I'm not there yet, by any means
It's the broken beams of my world
Keep falling down.
Boy, I'm not ahead (or so it seems)
But I'm chasing dreams
And my prayers are longer
I'm trying harder
This is a letter to my future. I'm going to keep tweaking it as a song, but this is the general gist.
So the truth is, I'm sick.
The other truth is, I need help.
And another other truth is, I can't ask for it.
This is beyond melancholy.
It's also beyond my control.
And that's what scares me.
If I'm not in control of my emotions, my thoughts, my feelings, is there anything I can grasp? Honestly?
I can't have fun. I can't enjoy myself. I can't create, or contribute, because I'm trapped. I'm trapped underneath this cold layer of ice, pinning me down.
The truth is, I'm scared. I really am. I need you now, God.
I'll love you in life, I will love you in death. If ever I loved you, my Jesus, 'tis now.
Well that's sweet. Thanks for telling me. Thanks for keeping me informed. Thanks for valuing the time and heart I put into all this…means alot.
I'm wracking my brain trying to come up with some sort of solution. Trying to figure out something that will take the pain away. Some sort of distraction. Anything. Please….
But inside I just keep shaking my head to each suggestion. It'll never work. It won't make me feel better. This ridiculous pain, this throbbing of the heart, it won't go away. I can't escape it, I can't distract myself from it, I can't cover it up or disguise it. Not right now anyway. It's too sharp. It's like a knife in my heart, tearing me up, a raw, wrenching pain in my gut.
God help me.
or maybe I'm
Bypolar. Whatever the case, I'm in a great mood today.
I spend all last night crying, got nowhere near enough sleep, and yet today I'm walking on air. Thank you, my God…
For the first time in a LONG time, I've started seeing these dreams and ambitions for my life that can only include being single. Lately it's been hitting me that it seems like all of my dreams, passions, talents, etc. all revolve around being a wife and mother. I don't particularly care to have a carreer. I love cooking, sewing, creating, organizing, and LOVING. I am a talented chef; I specialize in comfort foods. I love children, but not just in the 'babies are so cute' phase that every girl goes through….I really honestly love them. I want to have a baby so bad, but the real thing is, ever since I was a little girl I've felt called to foster care adoption. I want to take in the children that are
lost and hurting, neglected, forgotten; I want to give them a real, proper home with a mother and dad, with a hope and a future. I've always felt that calling on my heart. And in order to make that happen, I need a husband…
*Cue tall, dark, Christian young man with a stable job who wants to adopt kids*
Anybody? Anybody?
Guess I'll just sit around and wait then. Try to better myself in the mean time, get good at making chicken noodle soup and practice controling my temper.
Or how about not? How about all those other dreams I had? How about that restaurant I was going to open? How about that kids theater I was going to start? All those musicals I was going to direct? What about all those songs I wrote, the ones I still need to record. What about the road trip accross America, the camping in the woods, the appartments and mission trips and no mortgage payments and college and books to read and books to write and instruments to learn and all that LIFE I was going to live? All of a sudden I find myself wanting to say "HOLD OFF ON THE YOUNG CHRISTIAN MAN, GOD, I GOT PLANS!"
I know this feeling won't last long. Maybe as early as tomorrow I'll be depressed and sluggish again. But at least now I know. I have something to want, something to plan for. I will break free.
Why do we let people disappoint us, anyway?
WELL, there goes my faith in mankind. *waves bye bye*
I keep telling myself not to trust you. Why don't I follow my own advice?
First shock. Then pain. Now numbness.
And then, I'll forget. I'll trust you again. Just like always.
Setting myself up for heartache, of course.
All in a days work.
If you can taste colors on your tongue
If you hear a symphony sweet
Let it come, Let it come
If you can stand tall, life your hands to the sky
If life you can reach, Don't you dare pass it by
Pass it by
Remember, now, when the day is clear
How it felt when hope was as clear
As a heartbeat, a spoken prayer
The colors in the air
If you know the words, sing them out loud
If you know the steps, girl dance you way through the crowd
Don't slow down, Don't slow down.
Remember, now, when the day is clear
How it felt when hope was as clear
As a heartbeat, a spoken prayer
The colors in the air
Remember while your heart is free
What it meant to exist, to be
When the sun rose without fail
The colors in the air
Music? Where'd you go bud…please get back into my life.
I made a chair. Well, I painted it and make a new cushion. That's a start.
Lyrics haven't been coming to me lately. My emotionally creativity is zero. This is no good. This is a bad sign.
Later, I'll write a song about all this. Not right now. Never when I'm still stuck. But later, I will. Some time, when I can see more clearly than I can now, the Words will flow out of me, painting a picture of the hurt and triumph that shocks even me. Some time….I'll see…
Everything is abstract. I'm abstract. You're abstract. Life is abstract.
Maybe this seems completely random and unrelated. Truth is, the random, abstract things in life are the only things that feel real anymore.

Flinging words up through the atmosphere
Into the air
We whisper our deepest heart cry
And wait as they sail into the night
Gravity, It's hold on me
It's hold on me
A tragedy, It would be
It would be
To puncture the sky blue
Oh, that they would reach you
Hold your breath as they continue on
Untouched by our laws
Gravity, its hold on me
Its hold on me
A tragedy, it would be
It would be!
Will they fall back down
To the ground, to the ground
Where we kneel still
Something in us swears they will
We kneel still
How far from my heart to the stars?
Gravity, its hold on me
Its hold on me
A tragedy, it would be
It would be!
It's the moment you leave them behind
The scars that have haunted your entire life
It's the breath that you take as the memories awake
To drown out the hope in your eyes
But through all the chaos, the hurt of nights past
I know I must decide
To turn my face to the future
Lift my eyes to the sky
Turn my back to the painful past
Lift my eyes to the sky
When darkness has swallowed up time
And the present is blurred by the tears in my eyes
I won't be moved from your side
I won't be dismayed by the thorn in my side
I melody stronger that echoes loud through my soul
Is why I must let go
And turn my face to the future
Lift my eyes to the sky
Turn my back to the painful past
Lift my eyes to the sky
Yeah. So I'm really sick. And I'm really lonely. But I have hope. And I have some amazing friends. And my God is….well, God. So I'll be okay.
I've been keeping a journal with letters, songs, prayers, etc to give to my husband some day. And I think I've written more in the past month than I had in the last year. Yeah. You've been on my mind a bit, darling.
It used to be when I thought about being in love with someone I would imagine the kind of personality traits I would need in a partner, like hard, stable character issues, not just trivial stuff. I would think about how I needed someone secure in himself, someone confident, and how he would be the leader for our family, and I would do my very best to honor and support him. And I'd think about baby names and what our house would look like and how we'd grow old together, get marriage councelling f we needed it, and pass on our secrets to the next generation. I never really thought about details.
And now all of a sudden I'm haunted by all these questions…there's so much to relationships, I'm realizing. And now I want to know…what is your love language? Will you understand mine? And what about our appology languages? If I hurt you, how will we get past it? Do you like my new perfume? Should I dye my hair, or do you like my natural color? When we first wake up in the morning, will you kiss me even if I have morning breath, and touch me even though my hair is a mess? And what about our kids? I have felt God's calling on my heart to take in foster kids sense I was a little girl, and I always assumed that the person I married would have the same calling, but what if I fall deeply and helplessly in love with someone who doesn't have that calling? Will I have to choose? Will I make the right choice? And what about Australia? If I meet someone and fall in love before I left the country, I would drop those dreams in a heartbeat to be with my love. No doubt about it. You ARE my dream. Will I get along with your family? How will I handle it if my parents think you're sketchy? I'm already crazy in love with you and we haven't even met (that I know of) so I know I'm gonna be helpless once we're actually together. What if I fall in love….and then it doesn't work out? I give everything I have to whatever I do…so would I have anything left?
What kind of car to you drive?
Do you like interesting baby names?
Will you buy me cheese-its without me asking?
Do you like my cooking? I'd DIE if you didn't like my cookies.
I'm crazy. That's official.
let myself get hurt by things like this?
Why do I 'let people in' in the first place?
Why do I care, when they so obviously don't?
I've been telling myself lately that the walls need to come down. I've been telling myself that I need to take risks, and let myself be vulnerable. Well, I did….and got bit in the ass for it. THIS is why I don't trust people, yeah? 'Cause I get burned.
I let someone in, just a couple layers deeper, let myself trust someone that I called "friend", and was reminded of why this is not a good idea. If someone's a jerk, and I never trusted them, so what? If he's a jerk and I DID trust him, I get hurt.
Glad to know how the system works again……thanks for nothing, man.
You know, you can be a real dick sometimes, and I don't think you give a damn.
A verse and a chorus. Based on a journal entry from a year ago….been swimming in my subconcious ever since. I'll update when i finish it…..
Too late
Too late to ignore
Too late to restore
What's been broken in me
You cannot wait
When death is knocking down your door
Heart torn open, raw and sore
Darkness consuming
Who said to 'live like you are dying'?
They must have never died
Why can't I, why can't I live this life
Like I'm still alive
I can't keep waking up to find a darker yesterday
I can't keep existing in shades
Shades of gray
I cried about it for the first time tonight. Not sure if that made it better or worse.
I feel stupid. Blind. Tired. Confused. Hopeful? Ugh. I feel foolish. Silly. Didn't I warn myself against this? Didn't I know better? And yet I let myself fall….And fall I did. So hard.
When I love, it's with my whole heart. Now my whole heart is hurting. Broken? I'm not sure. Time will say soon enough, if I can move on untouched or if I break. Why am I so blind.
This is not me.
This is not my life.
This is not what I had ever planned
ever dreamed
ever asked for.
This is the life for someone more patient than I.
Someone wiser
Someone who understands God's will.
I do not have fibromyalgia.
I am not confined to this sick, incompetent body.
I am not too exhausted to move, or in too much pain to play.
I am not so weak I can hardly walk up the stairs.
I am not embarassed when I can't do what I should be able to.
This is not me. I want my self back.
Oh God, I can't keep asking why. I wouldn't want to know the answer anyway. I think most days I can accept this road without questioning it. But there are still days like today……When the loss of what I thought my life would be hurts so bad. Now is when I submit. Now is when I laugh at my ruined dreams and embrace your dreams for me. Now is when it matters the least what I had planned.
Lord, I believe…..help me overcome my unbelief.
When you see my face I hope it gives you hell.
"He should of thought of that before he said it!"
"Mandy….guys don't think."
Just leave me alone.
what the hell.
I can't believe he actually did that.
Anybody up for another round of
how 'bout them guys that ask out girls over facebook? yeahh baby.
Know what I hate?
It drives me nuts when people think they know all the answers. I don't know if you noticed, but life is pretty
damn complicated. I feel like if your solution is simple enough that you could come up with it in about three seconds, then you're not digging deep enough. Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn't really know very much. But the person who loves God is the one whom God recognizes.
There is alot that I don't understand. There is alot that I will NEVER understand. Not to be rude, but there's quite a bit that you don't get either. Christ isn't easy. "Where does light come from, and where does darkness go? Who has put wisdom in the mind, or who has given understanding to the heart?"
I belive in absolute Truth, and personally I think that truth doesn't usually come in black and white. Sometimes it does. But the universe is deeper than one word answers! There's more to it than our guesses about what God means. "My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts," says the Lord, "and my ways are far beyond anything you can imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts higher than your thoughts."
God is a whole lot bigger than our brain capacity.
Being 'right' does not make us right with God. We seek him, we seek his will, and we do our best to obey. But if his plan is not clear, and in my search for answers I misunderstand what he intended, I do NOT think that that condemns me. If I see what he has said and claim that
something else is truth instead, that is a completely different story. If I know his plan and choose to act differently, then YES I have done wrong. I am ignoring his truth. If I am presented with his Word and reject it, I am rejecting Him. But if I see the word, try to understand it and follow his direction, but miss something or get confused THAT, my friends, implies that I am, in fact, an imperfect being with an imperfect understanding. The Lord our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions.
For the record, there are things that you are preaching that you are mistaken about too. I don't condemn you for it. We are all trying, we're on the same team here, yeah? God is judge and He knows what is important. Who are you to condemn someone else's servant? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord's help, they will stand and receive his approval…Those who worship the Lord on a special day do it to honor him. Those who eat any kind of food do so to honor the Lord…and those who refuse to eat cerain foods also want to please the Lord. For we don't live for ourselves or die for ourselves…So why do you condemn another believer? Why do you look down on another believer? Remember, we will all stand before the judgment seat of God…So lets stop condemning eachother. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another beliver to stumble and fall.
The LORD doesn't see things the way you see them. People judge by outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

I reckon I need to cut it out with the fainting spells. I haven't got many joints left to injure. My wrist has been sore all week and now my ankle and knee.
This isn't cool at all.
"Disturb us, Lord, when
We are too well pleased with ourselves,
When our dreams have come true
Because we have dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely
Because we sailed too close to the shore.
Disturb us, Lord, when
With the abundance of things we possess
We have lost our thirst
For the waters of life;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity
And in our efforts to build a new earth,
We have allowed our vision
Of the new Heaven to dim.
Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,
To venture on wider seas
Where storms will show your mastery;
Where losing sight of land,
We shall find the stars.
We ask You to push back
The horizons of our hopes;
And to push into the future
In strength, courage, hope, and love."
It's the middle of the night and I can't fall asleep because my entire body hurts so bad. Excruciating pain shooting through my arms and legs, my stomach, my breasts, and my back. My head is throbbing.
How am I supposed to live a full life if I can't even sleep? How am I supposed to live with purpose if I can barely function? Not just making it through the day, making it through tomorrow, and seeing what happens after that. I don't want to just survive anymore. I don't even need the pain to go away, honestly. I just need to have a purpose in it. I need for there to be a purpose, whether it's in spite of the pain or because of it. I don't care. I just need for it to be worth it.
Five years from now, I need to be able to look back on this rough time and say it was worth it. Worth it because God did something crazy. Or because I learned something spectacular. Or because because of it, I was able to help other people. SOMETHING.
Basically, I need there to be hope.
Why do you hide yourself from me, my God? I haven't turned away from you when the storm came. I have continued to seek you when my heart screamed out in anger and bitterness. Why do you continue to refuse my plea for help? Why do you, oh great God, remain silent when I need your guidance more than ever? You are powerful. You are just. You are full of mercy and compassion. What have I, your faithful servant, your child, done that I should not deserve your grace? You made a pact with us, that if we called upon your name, you would save us. I don't even need to be rescued from the physical pain. If this is the life you are calling me to, so be it. But why do you continue to push me away when I reach out to you? Why do you hold me at arms length instead of allowing me to feel your embrace the way I once did?
Even so, may I remain faithful. Great is thy faithfulness, mighty father. In spite of all of this, may I remain faithful to You.
My Jesus, I love thee. I know thou art mine.
For thee all the follies of sin I resign.
My gracious redeemer, my savior art thou.
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus 'tis now.
I love thee because thou has first loved me
And purchased my pardon on calvary's tree
I love thee for wearing my thorns on thy brow
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus 'tis now.
I loved thee in life, I will love thee in death
And praise thee as long as thou lendest me breath
And say when the death-dew lies cold on my brow
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus 'tis now.
In mansions of glory, and endless delight
I'll ever adore thee in heaven so bright
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow
If ever I loved thee, my Jesus…'tis now.
Good days always end in loneliness.
Today when i woke up in the morning, i WANTED to get out of bed.
If you've never been in a place where…for months at a time, life held no joy, no meaning, then you won't understand the significance of this. It is huge.
If you have……then you know. You've been there.
I started my garden yesterday and couldn't wait to work on it today before church.
Something to look forward to? Something to care about? Something that I even care about caring about…I've been longing for something, anything, that would spark some kind of meaning and purpose inside me.
This is what I've been praying for.
Small victories in the form of tomatoes. But victory all the same.
I have been living the life of a soul already dead. For the past year, I've been going through the motions on the outside, and slowly rotting away on the inside… Watching helplessly as my spirit withered away into broken, shamed nothingness.
Spring might just be bringing new life. Time to watch my 'garden' grow.
Oh death……where is your sting.
what happened to silly bandz? they just dropped back off the face of the earth. where'd they come from, and now where'd they go? lol…..
I feel like everything i say or do makes me look stupid. I feel like people just tolerate me. Like they're secretly judging my every move behind their fake smiles. I feel like crap. I don't want to do this anymore. I'm just gonna shut up and not talk then. Not let anybody in. See how well it's paying off….I should just stop trying. Stop making myself look dumb to people who's opinions i actually care about. Or maybe I should just stop caring about anyone. We'll see.
*Spoiler Warning: The Following Content May Contain Levels of Self-Pity Inappropriate for the Optimistic*
I'm irritated. And pissy. And ticked off at life. And ticked off at people. And ticked off at having to live up to peoples' expectations. And ticked off at being judged wherever i turn by people who haven't got a damn clue or the damn right to judge anyone. Dammit. I'm sick of myself. I'm sick of life. I'm sick of school and work and my family and even my friends sometimes. The friends that I never see any more, because of SCHOOL WORK AND FAMILY. It's all a big circle, my dear. And I'm sick of being sick. I hate being tired. I hate being depressed. I hate being controled by my circumstances and not being able to step out of my situation and see clearly, to love life in spite of itself. That's what I want to do. I just want to love life. I want to be inspired and MOTIVATED. I'm not. I'm really really not. I'm apathetic. And I care JUST enough to let it bug the hell out of me, but not enough to change it.
I'm on a new treatment for the pain/depression, and so far it's okay. I've dropped almost ten pounds in one week from it making me sick and stuff. But the side effects haven't been as bad as I was afraid of. And then today I read all this stuff from people who have taken this drug before and they all were saying how it's great at first and then it gets really bad. And the withdrawl symptoms if you stop taking it are even worse than the side effects apparently. GREAT. I'm screwed either way. I'd LOVE to get freakin addicted to a drug that makes me sick. Sounds like an awesome way to spend the rest of my life.
That was sarcasm, love.
Speaking of love. Any time you feel like showing up, I'll be here. I know I'm not exactly loveable. But I am good at loving other people. Maybe that's worth something. Maybe. Maybe this is all there is for me…maybe this is it. Something please inspire me.
GOD, I know you can hear all this. I know you see me and I know you care. I know you love me. Any time you feel like showing up, I'm still here. I'm not going anywhere just because I'm angry and cynical. No worries. Nothing's changed there. I'll still keep trying to do right by you and stuff. But I'm REALLY not feeling it. So, whatever it's worth, I'm yours. Take it or leave it, but I can't really pretend I have a ton to offer.
Where were you when all that I hoped for, Where were you when all that I dreamed, came crashing down in shambles around me…you were on the cross.-matt maher
enough said. cut it out, you silly silly girl.
"You need some more drugs in your life".
….but I don't WANT more drugs in my life =/"—Dr. versus Mandy
Today is hope. Today is standing in the rain, standing my ground . Running through a glorious downpour and soaking in the cool drops like new life for a parched soul. Today is knowing that no one else can feel it for me, and only i can let it in. Today is not caring about the pain, and craving this some newly discovered purpose. Today is going grocery shopping and buying tons of fresh fruit and veg simply because. Today is looking in a rhetorical mirror and recognizing the flaws, and wanting to be more beautiful. Today is fasting. Today is beauty. Today is faith for the future.

Mandy Dasher wants:
To get away. To die. To live. To drive and not stop. To sleep and never wake up. To punch someone. To light something on fire and watch it burn. To cry. To never cry again. To care. To feel. To hurt. To rejoice. To STOP HURTING. To stop being tired. To wake up. For everyone to shut up. For people to just go away. For someone to stay. To get away.
I have a hit list….Guess who's name is on the top of the list?
Oh yeah, in case I forgot to mention,
All-Nighters are strictly forbidden as well. MUAHAHA.
You suck. I'm going to have to pull one anyway. Because I like NOT failing at life.
-You argue with yourself like a crazy! Hahaha
I am a crazy!
Oh yeah, in case I forgot to mention,
All-Nighters are strictly forbidden as well. MUAHAHA.
You suck. I'm going to have to pull one anyway. Because I like NOT failing at life.
Your decision. But be prepared to be in rediculous amounts of pain and discomfort tomorrow. =)
I am aware.
Who said to live like we were dying?
They must have never died.
Why can't I, why can't i live
Like I was still alive?
I can't keep waking up to find
A darker yesterday
I can't keep existing in shades
Shades of gray
Just got the "you're doing too much and stretching yourself too thin" lecture. Again.
Only how can that be…when I don't even want to do anything?
I don't even have the drive to wake up on time for work, to write a paper for class, or to clean my car out. I don't feel like being alive. How can I be working too hard when I don't even want to work at all. What is worth working for? I'm not accomplishing anything. I don't care about anything. I just want to sleep.
The Year I Should Have Died….Part two.
For some reason i was chill and then in a moment of situational stupidity i stopped being chill. But it's not working out for me very well, so i hereby resume my chillness.
But in the meantime, may i just say.
This is dumb. This whole situation is dumb. DUMB.
Guess what? My manager at work is secretly a Russian Spy. Yes. It's true. I figured it out today.
I knew there was something sketchy about that lady.
I'm on to you, missy.

About Us
Contact Us
The Most Comprehensive Lifestyle Resort & Club Directory Online
Try Caliente Resorts & Spa Clothing Optional Venue, located in Florida.
Caliente is a Lifestyle Friendly resort and was voted the number one swingers friendly resort in the US for the third year in a row.
Unfortunately we could not locate any swingers resorts at all South Carolina.
Not all Swinger clubs advertise via their own website. Several use a Swinger site geared to listing Swinger personal ads and forums, which provides advertising for the clubs.
This can be an easy reference for local clubs if the information they provide is accurate. Foothills Club, CFriends Couple Club, Foxy's, and Enticing Couples are all clubs with up to date events listed but no direct access to "the club" at least without joining the advertising site first. Pool parties, Naughty Schoolgirls, and a Pimp and Ho Ball are just some of the events listed, which bring up Fetishes.
Out of the top 10 fetishes, the Pimp/Ho events legitimately could relate to several fetishes; #8 leather, rubber, vinyl, latex (clothes/boots) and #7 domination & submission, #4 the fetish for braids, pony-tails, and pig-tails (naughty schoolgirl), and #3 the fetish of water…the running of water as background noise and/or on the body.

VCPoker.com busts on saucy ad campaign
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has ordered the firm behind VCPoker.com to stop advertising online gambling as likely to get you laid. A complaint was levied at betting house Victor Chandler, which ran a VCPoker.com campaign featuring a scantily clad young lady with the strapline: "You love sex. She loves sex. You …
I saw this poster in the pub on Saturday and was genuinely shocked, I was actually going to complain myself. Just what the hell did they think they were doing? I can't see how anyone could have possilby thought that this is an acceptable advert.
If they had an advertising agency, I presume they aren't using the same one any more, if it was internal - and this does suggest internal advertising - I hope someone has been sacked.
Also, when did advertising gambling at all become legal?
The Truth
"and that the more money they had, the greater the likelihood of sexual success"
Maybe if they lose, but the advert states winning not losing, so they would get more sex i reckon.
Clearly, this report is useless without pictures ;-)
Well there's a gigantic potser or Ronny O'sullivan advertising a gambling website with a roulette wheel next to him saying ' i take red, black red black red black red black' etc.
so i guess it is legal and the fact that A LOT of football clubs are now sponsored by online gambling sites
Hows this different from...
The Lynx deodorant series of adverts promising me hot women if i use it?
No Biggie.
Don't see what the issue is, unless it's the PC brigade being upset with the line:
"You love sex. She loves sex. You love money. She loves money. You have money. She loves you."
Which is true anyway. Most guys know that a woman's love for men is directly proportionate (being exponential near the peak) to the man's net assets. :-)

Announcing Worldwide InstaMeet 10: October 4-5
For more information on how to find a #WWIM10 InstaMeet near you, visit our new Community site. Check out our Behind the InstaMeet series for practical tips on organizing a meet-up of your own!
On the weekend of October 4-5, join fellow Instagrammers around the world to celebrate #WWIM10, the 10th Worldwide InstaMeet. Gareth Pon (@garethpon), a filmmaker and photographer from Johannesburg, South Africa, started organizing InstaMeets in 2012 as "a fun way to discover the city and sneak into some unique places."
"It became an awesome way to meet people and explore the common passion of photography," he says. "The most special thing is being able to see people from so many different walks of life coming together and either discovering their creativity (that they never knew they had) or expressing their creativity among friends who share a common passion."
Here are Gareth's top tips for creating a great InstaMeet:
- "Scout for good locations: People love exploring new places and the more photo opportunities the better!
- Consider the time of day: We try always organize InstaMeets during "magic hour" for the best light.
- "Create something shareable: I'll always make what we call an 'infogram' to let everyone know there is a meet. The infogram usually has an image of the location with overlaid text of the location, time, date and hashtag. I then write up a short caption and add them temporarily to a blog post for anyone to download and post. That way people can easily spread the news about the InstaMeet."
- "Capture your InstaMeet: Besides always smiling and being friendly, I highly recommend documenting your InstaMeets. I try to capture the vibe of the meet in a little film or highlights video to extend the experience and I can use these videos as ways to promote future instameets."

Development of Ethical Guidelines for Eligibility Criteria and Allocation Protocols for Organ Transplantation from Deceased Donors
The Organ and Tissue Authority (OTA) together with the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and the Transplantation Society of Australia and New Zealand (TSANZ) are developing Ethical Guidelines for Eligibility Criteria and Allocation Protocols for Organ Transplantation from Deceased Donors (the Ethical Guidelines). The Ethical Guidelines will inform ethical practice for health professionals in relation to eligibility criteria for entry onto organ transplant waiting lists; donor suitability criteria for organ allocation for transplantation; and the organ allocation protocols for determining transplant recipients.
The OTA, NHMRC and TSANZ have agreed to Terms of Reference for the development of the Ethical Guidelines (see below).
An Expert Advisory Group has been established by the NHMRC under section 39 of the National Health and Medical Research Act 1992 to advise the Australian Health Ethics Committee (AHEC) on the development of the Ethical Guidelines. The final membership of the Expert Advisory Group was determined by NHMRC's CEO in consultation with the OTA, and is available below.

we are currently looking at getting new phones for managers and in abit of a struggle of which ones to get, thought i would as you people :confused2:
Personally I would go for the Desire. Having had the 3GS and the Desire, the desire spanks the 3GS. If u do a google search on iphone vs htc desire, u will see various videos showing both.
One advantage to the desire is that you do not have to jail break it to put various apps on and customise it how you want.
I have a desire and love it,,, also you can install a custom OS on it which you can find info on here HTC Desire - xda-developers
I have been using a Desire for a Month or so now on Orange and am very happy.
I use it mainly as a business tool with Exchange Syncing for Mail, Calendars etc and have found it very reliable. Ive never used an iPhone, but an accountant friend of mine has just ditched his 3GS for the Desire after using mine.
Definately recommend.
In all honesty though, for a set of managers as an email device, don't you think the iPhone would be easier to use?
Clearer UI, easier settings screens, etc?
If you're asking which your business should be buying then I would say "whichever one you will find easier to support". E.G. do you have any iphone enthusiasts in your IT team already, for example, or do you know someone who has already got an Android phone configured just how you like it who is willing to help produce a crib sheet for that, etc.
I have had a iPhone for 3 years or so now (2G, then 3G), and just switched to a Desire. Think its excellant. Easily intergrated into Exchange (as it had already been set for the iphone), so no extra work needed there. I'm not anti-iphone, if I hadnt seen the Desire, I would have kept using the 3G. The Desire, just has a nicer "feel".
Of course, Im comparing to the 3G (not even S), so as a comparision to the iPhone 4 might be more equal.
There's no real difference between them.
Toss a coin, go by price - whatever.
HTC Desire won't play IPlayer yet as it doesn't have Flash - but its promised "later in year".
To paraphrase an old saying - no one ever lost their job buying the management shiny new IPhones :)
iPhones are easy to manage and hard to break, plus i think the management will be very happy with there posh new iphones. So be popular and pick the iPhones, i would
Sorry to tear your post apart simon! :)
I've got both and for ease of use with regards to managers, the iPhone wins in my opinion. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but I've found ease of use paramount to their success with end users especially for email as Domino said earlier.
Please reread and emphasise the "real" in the sentence :)
We are talking toys for the boys here (Sorry - i mean useful management tools :) )
And how have you acheived this without rooting the device and installing a hacked OS? (which is not something you'd really want to be doing on new corporate phones :) )Quote:
I have mine playing iplayer perfectly AND supporting flash without an issue.
iplayer is available for download, and a friend of mine created the app to allow embedded flash which does not root the device.

If you are a beginner to the world of owning and maintaining a website, you might be feeling pretty confused by some of the terms that you have come across. For example, you have probably ready that you should use Toronto SEO services in order to step up your marketing game and let the world know about your website, but you could be confused about what these services are.
Luckily, Toronto SEO services from the right company can be a perfect fit for a beginner. Since an experienced and knowledgeable professional will be handling the bulk of your advertising and marketing for you, you can take your time while learning more about operating and promoting a website. However, you will be on the path to success if you choose the right company because you can see an incredible amount of traffic. This can help you establish yourself and your company or website as a brand, and it can give you the traffic that you need to sell your products and services or to make money off of advertisements. Therefore, it's a good idea to learn a little more about these services, what they include and what they are good for if you want to make your site a true success.
What is SEO?
Before you can understand the need for professional SEO services, you must first understand what SEO really is. SEO stands for search engine optimization, which basically refers to optimizing your website so that people who are using search engines like Google can easily find it. Although the idea of SEO might be simple, however, the execution of it isn't; this is especially true for beginners. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't worry about SEO yet if you are a newbie, though; with proper SEO, you can bring in the traffic that you need to make your website truly successful, and you can establish your brand and maintain a positive reputation. Therefore, it is definitely a service that you should think about.
Does Your Site Need SEO?
Many people miss out on the opportunities that they could enjoy because they assume that their site isn't in need of SEO. However, you should know that online gurus and large corporations definitely are not the only ones who use and can benefit from Toronto SEO services. if you run a small website for a small online business, you can probably use as much traffic as you can get. If you have a brick-and-mortar business, local SEO can help you drive people through the door. If you are just a freelancer or professional who wants to share your work and what you do with the world, SEO can help. Although you might use it in varying degrees, search engine optimization is truly beneficial for anyone who has a website.
How to Get Started with Toronto SEO Services
If you have decided that hiring a professional company for these services is just what you want to do to give your website the jump-start that it needs, you should consider contacting this reputable Toronto SEO company for a price quote. Then, you can get an idea of what you will have to spend, and you can choose the services that are right for your needs and your wallet.

Golden Gardens is a Seattle based dreampop band that mixes velvety ambiance, mysterious melodies and haunting voices to calm your senses.
Here is the video for the song "The Golden Dawn".

It's simple, and free.
Mathilde has a caring husband, a roof over her head, and lives as well as any other woman of her station. However, she feels she is above her station in life. As we are told, ôShe had no dresses, no jewelry, nothing. And she loved nothing else; for she felt herself made for that onlyö (De Maupassant 1).
MathildeÆs husband cares for her deeply. He does his best on his small income to provide her with things to make her happy. However, Mathilde is so self-centered she cannot see these efforts as something that should make her happy and content. Instead, her self-centered nature make her snub her husbandÆs efforts. When he brings her home an invitation to a high society event, she throws the invitation on the table ôwith annoyanceö and murmurs ôwhat do you want me to put on my back to go thereö (De Maupassant 2). Mathilde has a suitable dress she wears to theater but that is not good enough for her. Instead, she insults what she finds her husbandÆs inability to treat her how she feels she deserves to be treated, ôGive your card to some colleague whose wife has a better outfit than Iö (De Maupassant 2).
MathildeÆs husband agrees to provide her 400 francs so she can buy a new dress for the affair at the palace of the Ministry. However, true to her proud and selfish nature, once she gets the hard-earned dress Mathilde is still miserable. She tells her husband after sulking for three days, ôIt annoys me not to have a jewel, not a single stone, to p

The "Ironic" singer, a seven-time Grammy winner, is due to stage a concert in Tel Aviv on Monday, for the first time since a show in Israel in 2000. But the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel is urging her to cancel at the last minute, because of the Israeli political situation. Morissette quickly started receiving Twitter-based hate for allegedly supporting an "apartheid" state. Musicians are frequently pressured against playing Israeli concerts with mixed results. Singer Elton John has played Israel while ignoring the shrieks of pro-Palestinian groups, while Elvis Costello cancelled his own gigs to protest the treatment of Palestinians by the Jewish state.

No Dorsey? No Long? Good thing the Chiefs have Dwayne Bowe back today. We will probably see Wade or Bradley in the slot. My bet is on Wade.
As for Dorsey look for either Wallace Gillberry or Alex McGee to replace him on the defensive line. Gillberry has done a nice job in spot duty this year so I'd like to see him out there.
I am off to the pub to catch the game. If any of our readers are in NYC head out to the Village Pour House, the Chiefs bar in the East Village.
I'll be back following the game for a recap and (hopefully) a victory party.

MILTON-FREEWATER -- A bond issue to fund repairs to levees protecting the city is in the pipeline.
The Milton-Freewater Water Control Board on Tuesday approved an ordinance to have a $2.8 million bond placed on the Nov. 2 general election ballot. The measure will be drawn up by the board's bond counsel and should be delivered to the Umatilla County Clerk's Office by Friday, said Vicki Lee, water board secretary-treasurer.
The total bond amount will be $2,854,900 to be paid over 21 years, Lee said. If approved by voters in the water control district, the cost to property owners would be 62 cents per $1,000 of assessed value or $62 per year for a $100,000 home.
Bond issues to pay for repairs were put up for a vote in 2006, 2007 and 2008, but all of them failed.
The board's action comes on the heels of an Oregon Solutions team meeting last week at which representatives from at least 17 agencies pledged to continue work to seek solutions to fixing the levees.
Due to problems ranging from excess vegetation to erosion, the levee system has been classified as "unacceptable" by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which means the system is ineligible for federal rehabilitation assistance if damaged in a flood or storm.
The "unacceptable" rating has also resulted in the Federal Emergency Management Agency designating a sizeable portion of the city as being in a flood plain. The action will require many residents and property owners to purchase flood insurance once new FEMA flood maps are finalized in September.
Specific areas identified for repair prior to this summer are the stilling basin and drop structure below Nursery Bridge, the riprap slope and erosion of the levee toe along the east side of the channel downstream of Nursery Bridge and the riprap slope and erosion of the levee toe of the Couse Creek Bridge.
A inspection by the Corps completed in April found additional problems. These included unwanted vegetation, sediment accumulation, culvert blockage and "significant degradation of the channel" which has resulted in down-cutting of the channel bottom. The findings "significantly expanded" the scope, time and funding needed for repairs, according to a report prepared by the Oregon Solutions team.

Dad's lesson to McCarthy: 'Lead from the front. Your men always come first'
By MICHAEL SNEED email@example.com May 22, 2012 9:26PM
5/20/12 Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy walks through some of the ranks of the police department before the protest march begins on Sunday, May 20th. | Dan Luedert~Sun-Times Media
Updated: July 2, 2012 9:40AM
The city has a new hero.
Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy.
Like spontaneous combustion, the city's focus was drawn to the man on a median strip at Cermak and Michigan Avenue on Sunday; a guy commanding from a frontline position-barking orders with a Bronx accent without helmet or shield or bulky body armor.
What they spotted was leadership, confidence and precision.
Where did he get such poise?
Consider this scene from the Pacific Theater of World War II, Guadalcanal: A young Marine is sitting against a tree — smoking a cigarette. Cleaning his gun. Sniper fire breaks out around him. The Marine finishes cleaning his gun and crushes out his cigarette on the ground before jumping in a foxhole.
When asked later what he was thinking, he responded: "Nobody makes Jim McCarthy do anything before he's ready."
Could this story about McCarthy's father help explain why instead of being called on the carpet for what could have been a weekend of mayhem and violence, the younger McCarthy instead finds himself accepting the equivalent of a huge "Thank You" card for keeping his city safe?
Although McCarthy keeps deflecting praise, saying: "It was the troops ...The men. The women. The guys and gals who pulled this off"— it was McCarthy's father who not only inspired him with leadership skills, but with an interest in military tactics.
"My father saw things that would curl your hair," said McCarthy. "He was World War II U.S. Marine Corporal James J. McCarthy."
"And for me it was a chain of command that taught me how to lead. It ended with my dad and began with the men who taught him; a bunch of heroic Marines."
McCarthy's father, a Marine in the Pacific campaign, "taught me what every Marine knows: 'The troops eat first. The officers eat later. Your men always come first. That's how it's done in the Marine Corps.
"He taught me what his heroes — his battalion commander Chesty Puller and [Congressional Medal of Honor recipient] John Basilone — taught him: 'Lead from the front. Your men always come first.'"
McCarthy's father, also from the Bronx, died when he was 63.
"Luckily — and it was real luck, I was privileged to meet a few of the men my father fought with, and they told me stories about dad's leadership on Iwo Jima, where John Basilone died.
"They said dad was John Wayne and Clint Eastwood all rolled into one.
"They told me what dad hadn't. That he was a hero.
"They said they could still see him standing up in the middle of a firefight and lighting a cigarette and walking around and directing their fire.
"Or standing over a guy in the prone position who was firing too high-and pointing out Japanese positions.
"Dad learned his skills from the best: He was the next machine gun over from Basilone at the Battle of Bloody Ridge in Guadalcanal."
Basilone used a machine gun to hold off a large number of Japanese troops at Guadalcanal after his unit was nearly decimated.
"You don't get much better in learning skills and heroism than a guy like that — and dad's Battalion Commander was Chesty Puller, the most decorated Marine in history."
On Guadalcanal, McCarthy's father was shot in the thigh and foot, suffered a broken jaw after taking the butt of a rifle to the chin, took shrapnel and was bayoneted in the stomach. He later was shot in the back at Iwo Jima and finally evacuated as the Japanese attacked his hospital.
"I was watching a baseball game in 1995 when I got a call from one of my dad's buddies who heard I was trying to find information on his war years. ... He told me my dad could have been sent home much earlier because of his wounds, but chose to stay. That's the character of the guy I learned leadership from."
I told my mom about that the next day. I think she said, 'Sonofabitch. ... Typical.'"
McCarthy's father eventually became a New York police officer, and it was his police shield McCarthy inherited as a New York cop.
"You know, I love this city," McCarthy said of Chicago. "Whenever I've had to go out of town, I can't wait to get back."
Hey, Garry, we're just glad you're here.
Sneedlings ...
Wednesday's birthdays: Tobi Williams, 61; Drew Carey, 54, and Jewel, 38.

So, for the longest time (as you can see by the fact that Joe's glasses aren't up on his head here, this is an older pic) I've been slowly accumulating a secret stash of Dom/Josef (henceforth known as Domsef) pictures…
You heard me.
This is the first of many.
Why haven't I posted them before? Well, my mom occasionally reads my main blog (hurhur self advertising, but seriously is there anyone that reads this blog that doesn't know my main blog too?) and I was worried she might find this blog, and I wasn't quite sure what she thought of the idea of two guys depicted getting all lovey-dovey with each other. It took considerable courage for me to post the stuff I have so far to begin with.
I finally confessed to her (after downing several beers) that I have gay characters and I make these kind of pictures. Her reaction was as if I had just told her that I had cereal for breakfast. Completely matter-of-fact and cool with it as though it wasn't even a thing.
So, I want you guys to know that I have the best mom ever… and that you'll see soon that there's more where this picture came from. >:D
(None of it is porn, but I'll still put all such pics henceforth under Read Mores out of courtesy to the few fans I know who read the blog for the story/asks but wouldn't really care to see two dudes getting all smoochy. YOU HEARD ME. HEH HEH)
I apologize for the personal-ish textwall here but this was a pretty momentous thing for me to work up the courage to tell her and I wanted you guys to share in my happiness! Such a huge weight off of my chest…

He stayed stride-for-stride with Chiefs receiver Jonathan Baldwin, redirecting his route with a little shove. When quarterback Matt Cassel threw Baldwin's way, Thorpe turned his head to locate the ball. He even used the back of the end zone to his advantage and limited the space his cover had to make a catch.
It didn't matter. After an acrobatic one-handed grab and perfect toe-drag in the back corner of the end zone, the ball still ended up in Baldwin's hands for a score.
Baldwin's catch was meaningless on the offseason scoreboard, but prominent in Thorpe's mind as he tries to make Kansas City's roster. The rookie could only pull from what he learned in college before moving on to the next play.
Of course, the Kansas City Chiefs aren't going to let that happen. They have him franchised this year and could do it again next season if they can't reach a long-term deal. Plenty of players want to play in Miami. They more likely want to play for the team that pays them the most money. Bowe's response to Davis won't quiet any speculation, though.
Originally, three players were franchised in the AFC West: Prater, Bowe and Oakland safety Tyvon Branch. Branch signed his tender earlier this preseason and he is under contract for the 2012 season. He hopes to sign a long-term deal with the Raiders some point this year, if not, he will be a free agent again next year. Oakland can give him the franchise tag again.
As for Bowe, it has been a quiet offseason. Like most unsigned franchised players, Bowe did not participate in the Chiefs' offseason program. If he does not sign a long-term deal by July 16, Bowe will not be able to sign an extension during the season and he must play for his $9.6 million tender in 2012. There haven't been any indications that Bowe is close to signing a new deal.
2. Sebastian Janikowski, Oakland: Janikowski is getting better with age. He has found consistency to go along with his spectacular leg.
3. Mike Scifres, San Diego: Always overshadowed by Lechler, Scifres is a standout himself.
4. Dustin Colquitt, Kansas City: He'd probably be the best punter in five or six divisions.
