Comments please, as I hit a very hard patch in my life. I Salute this women, for saying some things for me.

POST BY JAMIE LEE CURTIS. (Details below)
.
Thanksgiving was supposedly started as a feast and joyous celebration of making it through another year, of acknowledging the toil and strife and the people that helped us along the way. Lincoln (a personal favorite) made it an official holiday and although it originally was August 6, it now falls in November and this year on my birthday. I am grateful to be born. Life is precious. I am the mother of two adopted children so birth and and the giving of life is monumental in my home despite it's political toolmaking.

I am grateful to my mother for laboring on my behalf despite her secret desire to get back into her size 17-inch waist that I stretched out.

I am grateful to her and my father and my step-father's patience and guidance and complete disregard.

Everything is too hard, or dead in spirit and passion these days. Take the movie Rocky, which is a movie about the triumph of the spirit, and the passion of the theme. A lot of the media, and music was very masculine in nature also, and very passionate, and a sense of heroism. If you think about most of the heros we see today even, there is always something dark about them, like Hell Boy, or Spawn. I mean, listen to this video from Rocky IV.

There was just so much more passion, and a sense of light that still shined through our culture. It seems like we are in perpetual dark times for quite some time now. Just listen to the theme of the Rocky song, and most of the 80's music like it, vs Rap, and the grungy, dark metal of the late 90's and now. So different. Hopeless sounding shyt; I think it goes with our culture.

MacTealc Towers enjoyed a wonderful hooley and celebrated with dear friends as MacTealc at last cleared my name and made me his Lady!

OF COURSE ITS FOR REAL!

Lady Eydontnose/Heathernhoney was born and raised in this place - no one quite knows from whence the Warrior MacTealc strode but his stories are many from lands near and far.

In this place - despite attacks from sad souls and arrows shot at our hearts ...... and maybe because of those bad folk - our resolve to weld intangible friendship into indestructable bonds was made good.

In this place Mac and I are together forever. And this is the place we exist as the folk that you know.

In another time and another place there are two other people - living lives so different and so far apart that it would take magic to enable a union.

And magic does not exist - does it?

So - to answer my own question - please forgive me Mr. Ed - yes - its for real ........ just as the house of Seniors on Yahoo is for real.

In the UK many people who are elderly and possibly to old or ill to look after themselves go in many cases to care homes or nursing homes. Yet here in Spain it is the duty of the family to look after and care for their elderly loved ones. If the UK adopted the Spanish system would it just be looked on as government cuts, or should families bear that responsibility.

Hi, I have recently became good friends with a guy in my same grade and I dont know if he is gay. He has called me special, keeps telling me that he loves me and also constantly hugs me from behind. He also once kept touching my chest. I dont know if he has had a girlfriend. He is really good at all sports. I like him as a friend but want to know if he is gay by these actions?

was i right for posting this on myspace?
Why is it that whenever someone has a secret, it's such a bad thing to keep it to themself?
Why is it that when someone knows something, they had rather turn the other way then face what's right in front of them?
Why is it that when something goes wrong, you're there for someone but they don't return the favor?
Why is there so much hate in the world today and what is it about being gay that really creeps people out?

I am wondering If I should Just get the Orchiectomy to remove Testosterone producer in my body (besides the adrenal glands) or get the entire removal of the ... trouser snake and have it inverted. I am scared of the risks of the later surgeries. It seems pointless to have a trouser snake and have it lifeless instead of a functional neo-vagina.
I don't know.. I guess I am just really stressed and scared of this path but it is such a neccesity for me.

Hi im 19, female from the uk and im bixsexual but more into boys than girls.

Ok im just wondering if im being really mean or homophobic?

I 100% belive in gay marriage but...i just dont agree with gay parenting...

The thing is i relise (sorry cant spell and writing in a rush) that a gay couple would raise a child just as good or bad as a hetero couple would because sexuality has nothing to do with your personality etc but i just dont think gay couples should be able to adopt.

The main reason i feel this way is that a child needs a mom and dad, and i know there are lots of single parents families out there who raise kids fine but i bet the kids still mising somthing. Two gay men cant be a mum and dad and two gay women cant be a dad and mom, they just arents and a child knows it. I just feel without the comfort of a mum and dad role kids are missing somthing or could grow up lonely no matter how good thier same sex parents are they need a female and male.

This can go to both girls and guys but probably, the majority will be guys. What do you think of breast reduction scars? Usually the scars go around the areaola and down the middle of the lower part of the breast if no one knows. Do you care, not care, dislike them, ect? What are your thoughts if your girlfriend had them? I'm 15 and I plan on getting my breasts reduced and I've never been a big fan of scarring. After the reduction, I'll probably be a D or a DD. I'm not sure yet. Please post opinions. Thanks.

This is my name for those who go yelling at others not to follow any trends or to experiment with different fashions. At the same time, they're probably letting their own life be controlled. What do YOU call these types of people?

I was looking into it in my town but I was deamed financially over qualified by the disability service in my town because my parents still support me and they had "a lot of money" on their tax forms. I even showed them my tax form from last year as well Right now they are trying to decide whether I can go work their without being charged a fee. Why do they do that, isn't it supposed to be based on whether the indivisual is disabled or not?

I mean not all of the media is Jewish controlled, some is I am sure. But when someone speaks of a Zionist controlled media, do you think they are racist?
