I didn't watch yet (though I obviously know who won) EXCEPT I did see the part where Sam offered Trump $250k to work for him. Bowie was on morning radio this morning saying that Trump took the money. Did he give Sam a job on air?

I think I may have a torn ACL. Has anyone here had one? I can still walk, but there is a horrible pain on the inner side of my knee (i.e., the side closest to my other kneee cap). It hurts a lot when I'm moving my knee from bent to straight and pushing off the ground. I'm trying to figure out whether I should hobble aroudn for a couple days until my knee feels better or whether this is one of htose ACL things and I need to make a doctor appointment.

First of all, if the pain is on the inner side of your knee, that would be more likely to correspond to the medial collateral ligament, which is not that easy to tear. The classic MCL injury occurs when a football player gets tackled from the side (i.e., when a quarterback gets sacked).

Is there any swelling? Was there a "pop" sensation when you injured yourself? Is there any clicking when you move the joint?

If the answers to the above questions are "no" and there is just pain, I am thinking medial meniscus tear.

Not yet clearly psycho, but definitively desperate, no matter how hot your sister is. He may just be really, really, really out of practice. His last wife may have dumped him for being a simp, or may have had him so pussy-whipped that he thinks this is normal. He may have read too many pink-covered paperback romances when he was growing up, who knows. I'd think its probably worth it to see where it goes (and let's be honest, as a one-strike single mom with a baby her dating options are greatly limited), but your sister should definitely go into it knowing that this kind of reaction is not the "normal" way a guy talks to a woman who has taken his fancy and just ... keep an eye on it.

Caveat: If your sister has any money or assets worth coveting, I would run like hell, 'cause that would push my opinion straight into "con man trying to drain your bank accounts and then bury your rotting corpse in the basement after telling your neighbors that the two of you are taking a romantic 8 month world cruise."

Interesting observation. His first marriage allegedly failed due to a gambling addiction. My parents aren't too happy about this (then again, no one we date is ever good enough).

She could be the looney, subconciously demanding this kind of attention.

I didn't know you knew my sister.

Originally posted by Paigow PrincessFirst off, if she sent you that to prove she is a desirable lady, she is clearly too insecure to have a healthy relationship. The word codependent comes to mind. She is perfect prey for this guy

You know my sister too!! Paired with my mother the enabler, trips home are interesting.


I can see the train wreck coming. For once my parents and I agree on something. Scary thought. I'll call tonight and she'll gloat over the fact that she had a date with a good looking Wall Street guy while I sat at home knitting. I'm a spinster in the true sense of the word.

My sister has some strange identity self-esteem issues. My brother and I have watched her become my mother over the last few years. Same color scheme in the house, same style of clothing, it's really creepy. They are both caught up in the suburban NJ keep up with the Jones', gotta wear the right designer labels, belong to the right country club scene (G&Ts by the pool anyone?). And they wonder why I left.

My sister saw a psychiatrist after her husband left, I didn't notice any improvement.

If a guy sent me this BEFORE the first date, I'd run. Maybe that's why I'm in the ranks of spinster-hood.

I think he is just a run of the mill horny guy looking to get laid and this is his attempt to be romantic, which he thinks a woman wants and he thinks is a way for him to get what he wants.

Vivid is apparently not part of the deal, which kind of makes you wonder how widespread the 'shutdown' really is.

I believe I have read that Vivid requires condom use for vaginal intercourse, but I could be wrong. I'm not really into the kind of porn you have to pay for.

Of course, even if they did require condom use, that doesn't mean a shutdown wouldn't still be prudent, but maybe that's their reasoning.

HIV detected early is certainly not the death sentence it used to be, but it still is a sad situation.

Damn bloodthirsty retributive liberals.

can you just tell her that your internet friends want to see her emails and see if she'll send them along?

I'll try. She'll probably send them along for ego reasons alone. You're home alone and I'm out with my Wall St. hottie. So there.

I'm glad I scrolled before posting. This was my answer, word for word.

Doesn't mean he's a bad guy, or a wacko, but she may have to shut down some roaming hands before the real conversation can start.

Two, why are you starting to do the parenthetical signoff? It is so 1999. Though preferable to the assterisk.

Thank you.

I don't have much to say. I'm pissed that he got sent home before Diana, Jasmine, and John the Red, but I knew he would have to go sooner or later. I do hope it's not the last we see of him--he has a truly decent voice and great hobbit charisma. Wait--maybe he can be in the new Peter Jackson movie?

PS Ruben Studdard was just on Sesame Street singing the ABCs with Elmo. That's a sweet voice, still.

Not on the air. But, hey, offer, acceptance, right?

Sam Solvey, Executive Janitor, Mar-A-Lago.

I assume it was a plant by NBC.

Absolutely. Its that simple rule. Everything men do they do to get laid. THats all they want. Simple. We ladies keep forgetting this and overcomplicate thing. So, does you sister want to bang him? Is he safely bangable? THese are the real questions. I think your sister is too emotional, insecure and co to bang someone right now. I dont like where this is heading. Send her a magic wand and send him some of sunny's boyfriend's coffeetable literature.

So they posted the names of the 45 porn stars who are in the quarantine for having sex with the HIV+ porn actor on the Adult Industry Medical Healthcare Foundation's website. The site is now down. Hmmm.

www.aim-med.org

You can still view a cached copy of the page if you try to access it through google's cache feature, but the link to the AIM quarantine list doesn't work.

FYI - the AIMHF is run by a former porn star.

What's he going to do with sump pump manuals?
