A group of my girlfriends and I have two guy friends that we buy Christmas gifts for each year. As we all grow older and further from one another, it is harder to buy these guys gifts! One is a business tycoon and the other is a lawyer both in the DC area. Anyone have an idea for thoughtful gifts that would appeal to both? We spend about $20/person. Thank you!

Then people in wheelchairs wouldn't need special ramps and such to reach the sink or the top of the stove? Wouldn't it be more practical?

I hear about it in the news a lot. I know certain high-profile members say and do completely ridiculous things. So what's the deal here?

It doesn't watch anything? It doesn't tell time? And it really isn't a cap at all, more like a stretchy head covering for your ears to stay warm in winter?

Even if there is no God and the atheists are right, why do the bad people seem to go into power and money, and no one does anything about it. No one questions it. People praise them. rap stars, even talentless pop stars, who are just rich or pretty, people in politics, even down to the small scale.

I'm sure these people just simply work and take their power, but the "good" people just let it happen.

Even people that everyone idolizes like The Beatles, Madonna, etc, they aren't shining examples of humanity either at all, and yet people praise them like gods.

We basically devalue ourselves and say, oh Madonna, The Beatles, George Bush, these people are richer and more influential than me, and even though they may not be the best people, they're BETTER than me, and so be it, and what not.


Our world is in a huge state of, I don't even know. lol. Confused I guess.

If there WAS a God, he'd stop all of this \ If there isn't a God, shouldn't WE do SOMETHING!?!?

I am overweight and that is the only thing I can think of.

It seems like black men really appreciate thicker bodies
and booty.

White guys consider anything over 140 to be fat and like smaller butts.

Is there anything wrong with changing your appearance to attract more of the type of men you want?

"Mr Boa and girlfriend Gillian Brown, both biomedical scientists, had met up with York at a pub in the town of Tumut, near the caravan park where they were all staying, and a discussion about creationism escalated into a shouting match.

The Scottish couple, who were staying in Tumut in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, picking fruit as part of a year-long round-the-world trip, had been arguing the case of evolution, while York, also fruit picking, had asserted that humans had been created as described in the Bible...

...The court heard that York, who had been making dinner, knocked a pizza box out of Miss Brown's hand outside his tent as the argument escalated, before stabbing Mr Boa with a kitchen knife."


I guess when there is no evidence on your side you can always kill them.

Two beggars are sitting on the pavement in Ireland. One is holding a large Cross and the other a large Star of David. Both are holding hats to collect contributions. As people walk by, they lift their noses at the guy holding the Star of David but drop money in the other guy’s hat. Soon one hat is nearly full while the other hat is empty.
A priest watches and then approaches the men. He turns to the guy with the Star of David and says, "Don't you realize that this is a Christian country? You'll never get any contributions in this country holding a Star of David."
The guy holding the Star of David then turns to the guy holding the Cross and says, "Hymie, look who's trying to teach us marketing."
Billy Graham went to see the Pope in Rome. While he was waiting, Billy noticed a red phone. As he was ushered in to talk to the Pope, he asked, "What's the red phone for?"
"That's to talk to God," came the reply.
"Really," Billy gasped, "how much does such a call cost - it's an awful long way?"
"$10,000 a minute, but it's well worth it." answered the Pope.
Some weeks later, Billy Graham went to see the Chief Rabbi in Jerusalem. He noticed that he, too, had a red phone. "I don't suppose," asked Billy, "that this phone is to talk to God?"
"Yes it is." came the reply.
"And how much does that cost?" Billy inquired.
"Twenty cents a minute," shrugged the chief rabbi.
"How come it's so cheap?" Billy asked, "the Pope has a phone like that and it costs $10,000 a minute!"
"Well," grinned the Chief Rabbi, "From here it's just a local call."
While leading the Friday evening services, the Rabbi noticed a member of the congregation, Bernie, walk in with a St. Bernard dog. The Rabbi, horrified, asked the Cantor to take over the service and went to talk to Bernie.
"What are doing here with a dog?"
"The dog came here to pray."
"Oh, come on." says the Rabbi.
"It's true," says Bernie.
"I don't believe you. You are just fooling around and that's not a proper thing to do in a synagogue."
"Its really true," says Bernie.
"OK," says the Rabbi (thinking he would call Bernie's bluff), "then show me what the dog can do."
"OK," says Bernie nodding to the dog. The dog opens up the barrel under his neck and removes a yarmulke, a tallis (and puts them on) and prayer book and then starts saying prayers in Hebrew!
The Rabbi is so shocked he listens for a full 15 minutes. When the Rabbi regains his composure, he is so impressed with the quality of the praying he says to Bernie. "Do you think your dog would consider going to Rabbinical school?"
Bernie, throwing up his hands in disgust says, "You talk to him, he wants to be a doctor!"
