As soon as she had finished convent school, a bright young girl named Lena shook the dust of Ireland off her shoes and made her way to New York where before long, she became a successful performer in show business. Eventually she returned to her home town for a visit and on a Saturday night went to confession in the church, which she had always attended as a child. In the confessional Father Sullivan recognized her and began asking her about her work. She explained that she was an acrobatic dancer, and he wanted to know what that meant. She said she would be happy to show him the kind of thing she did on stage. She stepped out of the confessional and within sight of Father Sullivan, she went into a series of cartwheels, leaping splits, handsprings and backflips. Kneeling near the confessional, waiting their turn, were two middle-aged ladies. They witnessed Lena's acrobatics with wide eyes, and one said to the other: "Will you just look at the penance Father Sullivan is givin' out this night, and me without me bloomers on!"

I would not call her a drama queen because she is not melodramatic yet she seeks out drama just to be able to be around it, and maybe even add herself to it just to be a part of it. Is there a word for that type of person?

There are therse chicks in my fashion marketing class who sit a across from me and I hate them. Idk, I just get a vibe from certain people that I don't like. They seem like they are fake and shallow girls and they always look at me funny. I hate those biiitchzzzz. I haven't had any problems with anyone in that class, it's a all girls class. But I think they all have something against me because I'm different from them becaue I don't dress as well as them and I don't have a lot clothes in my closet. I wish I had money to buy clothes but even when I had a job my dad would never let me spend my money on clothes that I would like

What prevents anyone from saying they are gay in order to get the same protections as gays?

How would you prove a person was gay or not?

And what would be the point of anti gay discrimination laws if everyone said they were gay?

Okay, why the label of black and white? I once heard an interview with a female sportscaster (Jayne Kennedy, I believe) who classified herself as a 'caramel cream' and another black female as 'dark chocolate'. I knew a mixed race gentleman who referred to himself as 'cream in coffee'. As a caucasian female, I am deathly pale with light brown hair, but my hub is olive complected with dark hair and dark eyes. I have met people classified as 'black' who are fairer than he is, so what determines 'black or white'? I much prefer the survey form question that asks: Asian, Indo-european, Mediterranean, African and Semetic as a choice of ethnicities rather than a color. Your thoughts please?

What do you call the reciever and giver and do you agree before hand who does what first, or do you have like, fixed roles.
Also, if you don't like to be the reciever, does it disadvantage you totally or can you work around it? (so to speak)
Sorry if this is too personal but I'm very curious.

A mechanical engineer died & went to heaven. Upon arrival Saint Peter checked "THE BOOK" and didn't find his name, so he informed the engineer that he must get on the elevator and go DOWNSTAIRS.

Reluctantly the engineer boarded the elevator for the long trip DOWNSTAIRS and upon arrival in hell found that he was very uncomfortable due to the excessive heat. He asked to see the devil and was granted an interview, at which time he requested a large number of materials with which to build an air conditioner. The devil replied that he could have anything he wished, and what he couldn't find, they would steal. So the engineer spent a month and a half building an air conditioner, which, when completed, cooled hell off only a few degrees.

Somewhat unsatisfied the engineer requested additional materials, with which he spent another month and a half building a sprinkler system to add to the cooling effect of his air conditioner. Hell was getting much cooler now and folks were beginning to almost enjoy it.

About a month later the red phone rang. The devil answered, and found that God was on the other end of the line.

"Remember that mechanical engineer we sent down about 4 months ago?" God queried.

"Hell yes, I remember!" Said the devil.

"Well, Saint Peter missed that man's name on the last page of our book because the page was stuck to the one in front of it. So I want you to send the engineer back UPSTAIRS, as is our agreement. If they're on THE BOOK, then they stay UPHERE and if not, they go DOWNSTAIRS." God exclaimed!

"I'll be damned if your going to get that engineer back. He's put in an air conditioner and a sprinkler system down here and folks are almost happy to be here. I expect that when some folks hear about this they may begin to request to be sent DOWNSTAIRS!" said the devil.

"Now look here! We have an agreement! In the book---UPSTAIRS and not in the book---DOWNSTAIRS!! If you don't send that engineer back right away I believe I'll have to sue you!!!" shouted God!!

"And just where do you think you'll get an attorney?" replied the devil!!!!!

He says " I'm afraid I don't like the look of your husband"

The wife replied, "Neither do I, but he's not home a lot and he is good with the children!"

Since July I have been campaigning to stop the building of three new properties very close to my house. Final meeting is Thursday. Only 3 of us have done the research and attended the meetings and whole heartedly campaigned, although at the first meeting 47 households had loads of enthusiasim to object. They will all be affected in some way, so should be helping too.
I am feeling let down. I've since been told this often happens. How about you, have you been let down by false promises?

If this is deleted for chatting so be it! It is a genuine question though so give it chance to get some answers. please.
