Why am I picturing you having a tea party for all of your socks?

That's a nice thought. If it was just me and my socks I'd be breaking out the Petrus.

From something I read rather recently, this observation is more or less true, but the cause/effect is in doubt. They've known for 20-30 years that the best predictor of future economic hardship for a given household is the number of dependant children, to an extent that blows race, education and current economic status away. But it isn't clear if people already disadvantaged by lower social class, lower economic status or lower educational attainment choose to have more children, or if instead people who have more children suffer economic distress, loose social status and achieve lower educational levels (largely due to the family's time and economic resources being more thinly spread over many). Not that the two are mutually exclusive, of course.

Isnt the assumption that the social movement is upward not downward, so they have taken that as a controlled factor in the study? This is america baby. Dreams happen and the only downwardly mobile perosn in the country is yours truly and that has nothing to do with having a bunch of kids.

But I digress. This is sort of related in that the person who feels teh need to add to the Christian population but may not want to have a bunch of rugrats has an alternative. Missionary work. What the fuck is this all about? Who the fuck are these people who think their god rules, and everyone else's drools, so they go to the hardluck people of the world and twirl their opiate of the masses bullshit in the guise of medical help? I hate these fucking people. Talk about your presumptuous, pompous condescending subversive cultists. Is this a christian wide thing or is this just for the groups that need to add to their numbers like the mormons, the seventh day evangelists and the jesse helms types (southern baptists?)? Its like that jewish relative of cheryl's sister's wasnt to be husband "we resent the recruitment".

Anal sex standing up in a filthy hot room? Huh.

Not anal. This wasn't Slot C woman. Haven't you ever had the sex done to you from behind, but still in Slot B? It helps significantly if the woman is of similar or greater height, though. Otherwise, the guy's legs will get very tired from bending.

As in, Thurgreed doing a voicemail saying "You have reached the office of Thurgreed Marshall. Mr. Marshall is unable to take your call at the moment. Please leave a message and Mr. Marshall will promptly return your call."

the first use of your own name is okay though, right? so they know they got the right person.

If you want your dick to look bigger, do your own first person voicemail and shave your balls.

Its more effective to shave the hair around the base of the shaft, although as long as you are down there, doing the balls doesn't take that much more effort and its a nice gesture. For one's fans.

What's considered a "large" family? More than three kids, more than four?

I actually didn't think you'd had anal, and did not realize her back was to you. Thanks much for the additional detail.

I'm petite.

I used to work for a partner that refused to make a telephone call. He would have his secretary make all calls and then have the caller hold for a minute or two before he'd pick up the phone. I'm pretty sure he read some management / power book in the 70s that told him that was the appropriate way to establish control over the conversation. The first time he did it to me, I hung up on him.

I like the concept of this. You may have inspired me.

So, I'm getting lunch in the firm lunch room, and I don't order my usual since I'm sort of watching what I eat (read: avoiding junk & empty carbs), and they were teasing me about it. I said "well, I'm sort of cutting down on the junk" and they said "dieting? You don't need to diet." And I indicated that I don't look it, but I've hidden it all in my rump. At which one of the cashiers said conspiratorially "I wouldn't mind taking some off the waist, but I'd never want to lose my butt, 'cause black men love big butts" (she's black). I said "I don't think that's just black men, I think all men like some butt, it's just a white woman thing thinking we should look like sticks all the time." (Me being a white woman.)

Which apparently was the funniest thing they'd heard for quite a while, and we stood around shooting the breeze about weird white women and their flat asses.

Can I just say, I love the people at my firm? Except for the lawyers.

Saw this blurb come across the news wires:

--------------------------------
SLM Corp. (Sallie Mae) said a class-action lawsuit was filed against it in California over an error in its annual calculation of monthly payment amounts on student loans (Dow Jones Newswires Aug. 14). The company discovered an error with its annual calculation of monthly payment amounts associated with variable interest rate Stafford, SLS and PLUS loans in the fourth quarter of last year that caused about 1.1 million of the firm's serviced student loan accounts to amortize too quickly or slowly. Sallie Mae, which said it believes the lawsuit is without merit, said it corrected the problem and credited the affected borrowers' accounts ...
--------------------------------

As an affected individual, does anybody else besides moi have an interest in this story? I got nailed for a good $50 a month increase.

Exhausting. And I don't think it's too much fun for the girl either. The answer: stairs

As in, Thurgreed doing a voicemail saying "You have reached the office of Thurgreed Marshall. Mr. Marshall is unable to take your call at the moment. Please leave a message and Mr. Marshall will promptly return your call."

If you want your dick to look bigger, do your own first person voicemail and shave your balls.

I thought you had a videophone.

As long as you're petite enough, that's fine, too. You can turn around and I can hold you. It's the "not tall enough to stand facing the other way but not light enough to comfortably (for both of us) hold in the air" middle ground that is difficult in hot, dusty attic sex, in my experience.

Anyway, I still think fondly of that relationship and the time that we spent sneaking around in our own house and crawling into each others' beds in the middle of the night. Secrecy and deception make the sex really hot. I guess that's why affairs are so much fun, until you get caught and someone is throwing your clothes out the window.

Or my four point five inch Manolos. See, mom, there is an occasion for which I can wear these!

A friend at a party told me he trimmed his pubes and that it made his package look more impressive... so... Standing in front of the mirror a few months or so, I decided to break out the scissors (I don't recommend doing this drunk or in a hurry for obvious reasons) and did some work down there. Low and behold if it didn't make my package look about an inch longer. The trick, however, is not in trimming the balls, but trimming the frontal area. An added plus is that if you go commando, having the front trimming prevents you from zipping up your pubes.... which is painful. Extremely painful...

As to inscure laywers' phone messages, I had to deal with this total tool lawyer a few months ago who'd never answer my fucking calls and had a secretarial voicemail. When I finally met the son of a bitch, he turned out to be a 5'7 little shit with wire rimmed glasses and a dead fish handshake. I almost laughed directly in his face when I realized that he'd been deepening his voice to sound more masculine on the phone. Alas, I have met various versions of this little box of neurosis in every firm I know - he's the rule, not the exception...
