Why Insurance Law Can Be Interesting

No, e-mail. I also like e-mails because when someone comes back and says "you gave my Y but I asked for X" I can say "well, let's check your e-mail" because I save every one that comes in and every one that I send out."

I frequently wash down my Benadryl with beer and have yet to meet Mr. Dennehy. You weren't watching F/X before you went to sleep last night were you?

You are resisting and thus perfectly normal -- at least with regard to this dream. If you were not resisting I would say that it means you would be scratched off my happy-dance list. :D

It means you're ovulating.

Unless, of course, you're having flashbacks from a party you went to in LA where someone spiked your drink with a ruffie and your subconscious mind remembers trying to fight him off but in your weakened state you gave in to the glorious hunk of a man who ravished you like no one else.

Then again - it could be that beer and benadryl thing.

Excepting for a hair count, I think you got it.

Your compilation reminds me of the Meyers-Briggs personality tests, e.g. "I'm a BFDM (big fucking deal, ma'am)." I think all women should helpfully start using this nomenclature. Thus, the worst description in your world would be 40, 38, 52, A cup, 4434 (pale, misshapen, puffy, and with nugs pointing earthward) nipples.

Ladies, please henceforth use this now-approved tool to describe yourself as appropriate.

That's eerie. I actually am ovulating.

Interestingly, I once owned a denim shirt that Brian Dennehy wore in a TV movie. An ex bought it at a post-production type sale in LA and gave it to me. For the record, the shirt did not fit the ex, and it did not fit me. I threw that shirt out long ago.

Know any good books on the subject? Positively 5th Street is on my reading list, but I'd also like some game theory/odds instructions.
My husband is a good hold'em player. He reads the David Sklansky books - the Theory of Poker, Hold'em poker, Advanced Hold'em Poker etc. He also has "winning low-limit hold'em" by Lee Jones (I had to look that up on amazon), but I do not know if it is good.

I know nothing about the subject, except what I see him reading, so can't recommend anything based on personal experience.

I never thought about it either, but now he's definitely been pegged as a lech. You know how after you dream about somebody it forever changes your view of/relationship with the person, even if the circumstances of dream don't reflect reality?

Puffy means bumpy? Phew! No puffy nips here!

Could you clarify if the color is for erect or nonerect nips? bc mine turn a lovely shade of deep red when erect but otherwise are pink. And the areola seem bigger when nips are not erect.

You act surprised. Did I forget to tell you that I know everything?

Maybe you're feeling guilt over throwing out a perfectly good shirt that was a gift from an ex and maybe you're surpressing feelings for the ex and your subconscious mind has switched Dennehy for the ex in the dream knowing that you'll see the dream for what it is...you need to get laid and in a hurry.

He tends to break even. I have known him 9 years. He is to the good for that time period. I think he is quite smart and patient about how he plays - and he loves it, so even if he were to lose a little, it would just be the cost of having fun.

No. Puffy means puffy, as in the areola is sort of elevated. Less thinks that's attractive - I think otherwise. Bumpy refers to those strange bumps found on the areola.

As to the color changing thing, well, I guess you jump from a 2 to a 1 on my proposed scale when excited or cold.

No I wouldnt- I am never "brown". I imagine deep rose to be dark pink? ANyway, its about the blood rushing in and all that good stuff. But enough about my nips, I am not csquared.

1. Not a dude.

3. See the link below if you want to see inverted nipples. First heard about them from a plastic surgeon friend who spent a whole lotta time working on nips (not the same doc as in the link - no clue who that dude is). http://www.plasticsurgery4u.com/inve...ted_nipple.htm[URL=http://]

Farting Shoes
 
Has anyone else had the misfortune of wearing shoes that make an embarrassing farting noise with every step? I can make it stop if I change my stride and walk really funny, but that's another problem all together. These shoes are of the open-toed, close-heeled variet. What is a girl to do?

No. Bumpy is basically flat but with bumps like the razor burn bumps black men get in portions of the nipple. See pornstar Celeste, for example. Puffy means the whole nipple seems sort of puffed/blown up from the inside and they tend to stick straight out or up a bit. Again, see Davia Ardell or Alicia Sterling/Sterlyn, for example.

Sebby, I forgot. In addition to hair count, points must be subtracted for visible scarring from relocating the nipple where the girl went with a poor surgeon. Celeste is another good example of this.

1. Sorry.
2. Yes, but fully erect, its always the same level of hardness.
3. The inverted thing is quite bizarre. So what heppens when its cold or she gets excited? Do they beome erect in reverse, i.e., crawl back inside? And why is plastic surgery needed - can't you just, well, vacuum them out?

Has your friend ever done nipple implants? I read somewhere that lots of adult entretainers have them.

Less,

Are you insinuating that black men as a rule shave their nipples? I had no idea that Pink Floyd was so popular with African American males. Go figure...

An excellent example of the puffy thing is the cover of Blind Faith's one and only studio album. Perhaps its the particularly unattractive photo that made me dislike the puffy look.

S(An excellent example of good quality nipples is Farrah Fawcett's playboy layout - you could hang a wet towel off those things, and I believe she was 50 when she posed)D

That's ok about the dude thing.

And you are right about hard being hard. I just meant that some women are harder more often than others and that some women, while just naturally more erect, appear hard even when not cold or excited.

As for the inverted thing, I wonder the same things that you do, since I've never actually seen them. I think that the implants are part of what docs do to "fix" them but there are apparently lots of women who get the implants when getting other surgery (lifts, reductions, implants).

The puffy thing you are describing is also called "snoopy" by docs, because they say that the "snoopy" nips look like Snoopy's profile. Apparently, lots of women have surgery to "fix" their snoopy nips as well. I personally would not want nips that look like Charlie Brown's dog. Ant Twat.

I refuse to read all the drivel that is posted here. I skim. If I miss something of note, so be it, but it is better than reading a bunch of posts about songs from the '80s. It makes me sad. It reminds me that most of us (and most of my friends IRL too, but not me, dammit) have turned into our parents. We listen to the same music we did 20 years ago. Those early '80s songs are to us as the early 60s "oldies" we hated were to our parents when we were in high school.

Classic rock is oldies. 80s flashback weekends are oldies. 80s or 70s cover bands are oldies. And like the oldies then, most of the oldies now sucks ass (with notable exceptions). It was pop crapola when it was written, and repetition has not made it better, just more familiar. I can't stand my radio. I erupt when my friends suggest we go see Tainted Love, Superdiamond, or The Cheeseballs. Although I see some of it in myself, I am trying not to be as much of a loser as my parents, falling into the safe cocoon of known, reassuring comfort music.
