comment on the original thread: "the aristocrats!" a+ for you - Justin Bowes
you would never get a picture of Obama and Biden doing that... now would you? Maybe because Obama and Biden don't like each other enough to get near one another. Two people stand close to each other and you keep on clicking you will get something unflattering if you look for it. try it with your mother and a video camera. - Noah David Simon
of your mom Sally? Is she giving your dog a blog job? - Noah David Simon
oh so we can only be lewd in a BLUE STATE way? heeeeeeePaaaaahCraaaahSeeeeeeee! - Noah David Simon
my bad. perhaps we see eye to eye then. lol - Cee Bee
ace? can you see me? where you been? I haven't finished with you yet either. you want to get offensive? you want to take a walk on the other side? he he... I'll be waiting for you - Noah David Simon
My comment wasn't towards the OP, and I now remember why I had the other individual on ignore, sorry bout that...carry on. ;-) - cmiper
The insult wasn't cool at all, that isn't what friend feed is about. Easy ace... - orionstarr
problem with ignores is that the thread makes no sense. ....now about fucking your moms with a Dog and Milkbone - Noah David Simon
BRING ON THE PAIN PEOPLE! Bring on the LIES and the double standards. This is all about you doing to Palin what you think you have Republicans pegged for. YOU DESERVE TO BE TROLLED! - Noah David Simon
Dude. This isn't a huge political discussion, it's just a funny pic. If you don't think the pic is somewhat funny then you've got a problem. I'm not hesitating to block you for a second, if you want to troll go to 4can and get the hell out of FriendFeed. - Brandon Titus
is this just a funny picture? http://bp1.blogger.com/_TKi7iM... you people think you are above it all.... but in the end you are Sexist Palestinian Sympathizing NAZIS. You have an agenda of power... and you hide behind calling other people labels. MLK was a REPUBLICAN - Noah David Simon
Palin looks older from the side. She needs to avoid those profile shots. - Jason Shultz via twhirl
I wonder about the left's need to trash a person's appearance. Not too tolerant. - Peter Simard
Yeah right like grandpa's got it in him anymore - Geoff Schultz
I didn't know McCain was your grandpa Geoff - Lindsey Smith
McCain is everyones grandpa. Pixelated and out of touch reading you his xmas cards across the kitchen table from relatives you don't even know you have at 1wpm - Geoff Schultz
and this doesn't register as mean spirited at all to you peeps? I wish this weren't just on friendfeed so I could goose your sisters. All a joke you know., - Noah David Simon
Dave, I don't necessarily agree with everything you post (and I hide a lot of it) but I really, really appreciate and respect that you back up your textual passion with your pocketbook. Not a whole lot of people can say that they do. - Akiva Moskovitz
I'll raise u 100 x's 2 that I won at a poker tournament. - adolfo foronda
I've donated $75 so far. Will probably do more this month. - Graham English
$100 to Obama as well. He's raised $8 million in 24 hours after Palin and expected to hit $10 million before McCain takes the stage. The republicans: raised $1 million in the last 24 hrs - Grant Gochnauer
I stopped giving directly to candidates when I found they spent all my money soliciting me for more money. I wanted a better use of my money. PAC's seem to do a better job of using my money. - Roland Smith via twhirl
Can't quite do a hundred, but I did donate to Obama today. - Cheryl Rice
I gave $100 immediately after Palin's speech and then another $50 this morning. I am 25 years old and this is all that I can give but I felt it needed to be done. - Johan Lieu
I'm waiting to give $100 during McCain's speech. - Jody C
""They've had a lot of speakers. And if they had a bunch of ideas, you'd think they would have put 'em out there by now. And so the question is, what's their agenda? What's their plan?"" - newsjunk.com
Stay on the message, Barack, and let them destroy themselves. Its the best advice I could give, if asked. - Jody C
"USA Basketball completed its extreme makeover today with a totally new Olympic experience. In defeating Spain, 118-107, for the gold medal, the Americans persevered in their first wire-to-wire competitive game..." - William Harryman
The opportunity to buy digital copies of my textbooks would be fantastic. I wouldn't have to lug around those tomes from class to class anymore. Man, would that be nice. - Ahmaud Templeton
"Summer's just about over and I'm starting to hear a lot of excuses about why people are skipping workouts and eating crap again. So here's what I would do if I were you...and wanted to lose fat and stay lean over the upcoming holiday season (it's never too early to start building healthy habits to avoid over-eating in the Fall)..." - William Harryman
I've got all the turbulence training stuff. It's great information, even if its presentation leaves A LOT to be desired. - Graham English
agreed - he might be more successful if he was better with his presentation - William Harryman
You CAN do it, and you'll feel so much better and be healthier longer because of it.:-) - Cathryn Hrudicka
That's awesome! I think 14-days means your done. I agree with Paul. You're a non-smoker now. Congrats! - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)
Yay!! Go Mona!! Reward yourself with BACON! :-) - Lisa L. Seifert
Thank you so much, guys. Your support has done more than any of you can ever imagine... Lisa: That's the problem, I'm replacing cigarettes with food! Can anyone say clothes too tight? LOL! - Mona N.
wow.. thats great.. I relapsed after 10D :(- - Peter Dawson
Well done Mona, we're all very proud of you. - Mo Kargas
Seriuosly, not picking up a cigarette is SO hard. I'm looking into aides. I know studies show after three days, or seven days, or whatever, means you're no longer addicted, but it is SO not. I've been smoking 10+ years and now that I stopped, I realized how much of my daily routine, as well as emotions were tied into nicotine.... - Mona N.
keep it up. I quit jan. 1. It gets easier! - Wes Hoogenboom
When you're done quitting for yourself, can you quit for me too? - Aaron Brazell
I haven't had a ciggie in almost a year and i still get the cravings, but nowhere near as bad. The gum does help a bit, but it's mostly pure stubborness that does it. If you can talk yourself into having a ciggie, you can talk yourself out of it. - sergiooo
Go, Mona! 14 days means you're over the worst. No. Really- you are! - Donna Mugavero
Aaron: I've always wanted to say that! I quit smoking for you, 'xxx' @Sergio: That's what I'm trying to do. Announcing it everywhere so I don't go back on my word, and tell myself: I.am.better. @Donna, thank you :) - Mona N.
I'm proud of you Mona. You can do it, just hang in there. :) - Dennis Jackson
Oh, and I quit smoking I guess it's been over a year ago now. That was right around when I started working out. I've never felt better. Never have cravings or anything. - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)
hmmm, this is getting uncomfortable. i'm still an outcast smoker :/ - mike
Rah: Ya, I'm looking into gyms lol. Currently, all I do is Yoga, and I go like.. uhhh once a month? HA @mike: Quit when you want to quit ;) - Mona N.
I'm very proud of you. My father never managed to quit. Please keep trying. - Denton Gentry
Mona, not only can it be done, but with the kind of motivating support structure you've got here, you're bound to keep it up. U keepz us posted, k? - Pete Delucchi
Denton, thank you so much :) My entire family is / was chain smokers. - Mona N.
Always happy to hear of another person quitting! - Marci Maleski
I thought getting support was a sign of weakness, but seriously, I don't think I could've done it w/out you guys... All my friends are smokers LOL - Mona N.
Use the weakness as your strength, padawan. The force is strong with you, you can do it. - Pete Delucchi
がんばれ！I gave up on trying to convince friends to stop smoking just because I knew how hard it was for them... If you're able to quit, major props to ya! - minceyfresh
Do you drink? I found the urge was strongest when I had a beer. You'll do great. Keep it up! - Mark Wilson
I'm guessing you have a different Chris Martin in mind. I had the name for 4 years before that bugger came along. ;) - Chris Martin
Your computer & gadgets will love you all the more for it! And think of the computers and gadgets you can buy with all the money saved from not smoking... Just be careful with all that good (non frozen) food that suddenly tastes like something again :P - Michael Leuker
Mona - The only thing I can add is that (I've been there FOUR times) ... It only takes ONE before you're buying a carton. You kinda get that feeling 'I'm havin a bad day ... if I only had one' ... The one doesn't do anything for the bad day ... and you're smokin' again. Keep it up! You can do it!!!!! - Charlie Anzman
Thank you, Charlie. You don't know how hard it is!! - Mona N.
well done, Mona! my parents were never able to go as much as three days, so i'm seriously impressed. keep it up! - idnan
Great job Mona!! I just quit few months ago myself, so I know how hard that is. Keep it up!! You're doing great!! - Daniel Monzelowsky via twhirl
Congratulations on getting this far and best wishes for further strength. March on! - Ernie Oporto
or "I can do that" Um, I know you CAN. But do you WANT to??? - Mona N.
Amen! I worked with someone who always said that. And then got offended when I wasn't impressed with what she had to say. I also don't think saying "I'm a blunt, honest person" excuses what is generally tactlessness. - JMS
JMS: AGREED, words may be forgotten, but one can never forget how it makes them feel.... I still do that... work in progress =\ - Mona N.
Yeah, exactly. "Tell me this..." is up there with those too. While we're at it, people that start off with "So..." ALL the time really get on my nerves. - Donato (ricin) via twhirl
JMS, my motto is life is too short to mince words. :D - Cyndy
Sounds like they're trying to prepare you for some bad news. But I agree, just spit it out! - zoblue (Zulema)
In all seriousness though, how do you approach a friend with a criticism that is intended to produce a positive influence. If i say "Your a dinglehopper" if that is all I say it sounds more like an attack. - Geoff Schultz
Or are we assuming that this is a statement from someone who is not in the position of trusted adviser. - Geoff Schultz
Don't give advice unless it's asked. I learned the hard way and still working, since I can't keep my bacon hole shut ;) - Mona N.
mmmmm bacon, what were we talking about? - Geoff Schultz
JMS, FTW! Also, I have a nasty habit of apologizing a lot. It pisses people off because, if you do it often enough, others start to think of you as disingenous, at best. - Helen Is SOOO Not Of Troy
I have a similar beef with "Honestly, ..." or "To tell you the truth, ...". It implies that you're not usually honest or truthful. Everyone should omit these excusatory prefixes from their lexica. - Kevin Fox
How about "I hope this doesn't come out wrong, but..." - JMS
JMS, if you have to use that prefix, you *know* it will come out wrong ;) - Robert Blum via Alert Thingy
Well said. I like just the way he tells the story. Just like how it is. we might not agree with everything he has to say or all his policies but he is the right man for the job. - Akshay Dodeja
He's really wonderful when he's on, like he is here. Whatever peptalk he gave himself before this talk, he needs to do that every time he takes the stage. This is the kind of leadership we need. Why shouldn't we all be doing that tire gauge thing. Make it a matter of civic duty, civic pride, keep your tires inflated, send less of our money overseas. - Dave Winer
Totally love this guy, talk about being efficient all the way down the line! - Jean-Marie Moës
The Republicans big-wigs take pride in falsehoods, not ignorance. Thus, they take pride in CREATING ignorance. - Master David Goodmen
Love it. The last line gave me chills. This dude could sell me beachfront property in AZ. I sure as heck hope that ability translates to his future job as President. - Chris Martin
@ David - and electing ignorance, and appointing ignorance... - Jody C
Yeah, the Star Wars prequels really were poor films. Something like "Children of Men" is much better film making, and without all the spaceships and crap. Special Effects films are kind of like hair bands and heavy metal guitar solos. They replace the art with the machinery of artifice. - Dean Terry
So good. they should have done this to him after the first three (made). - Morgan
My theory on the prequel v original= the orginal trilogy was so open ended - it expanded the mind into this universe beyond imagination. Even in the first one - Obi Wan discusses The Clone Wars with little or no "dumbing down." A real conversation - like explaining to a teen ager old WW2 or Vietnam stories. But in the prequels - everything was dumbed down, explained - that massive universe from the first three was shrunk down and tied up all nice and neat. The mystery died - and so did the luster.... - George Smith
Many bothons died to bring us these photos - Josh Haley
I'm not sick of Star Wars...how could you ever get sick of that? I'm sick of the crapified versions of Star Wars that Lucas foisted on us in the last 10 years in order to sell merchandise. - AlexScoble(Robert'sBro)
that Indiana movie wasn't good either. I did REALLY like "The Phantom Menace" though,,, but his batting average is not what it used to be. - Noah David Simon
