My uncle used to use this fictitious name in his vernacular. For instance he would say, "That guy is stranger than Jofa Beets" All He ever said was that is was used in the 20's and 30's? Then I once herd an old sports talk radio host use it many years ago (Pete Franklin).

Does any one know more about "Jofa Beets”?

I don't even know if I spelled the name right.

Seems in years past guys could get younger women. The reverse is true today. And, nearly everywhere I go, I feel like I'm in a war - er, actually, I feel that I'm being attacked with excessive epithets like "Sir" after every sentence. Somehow, I feel that the Feminists are behind it. I have my reasons. What do you think? Feminists are free to reply as well; but one characteristic of this new wave of feminism is that it operates behind the scenes; so I doubt I'll get any of their responses.

I have been looking for orange (or red, as a second choice) titanium body jewelry for something like two years, now. All I see online are shades of blue, purple, hot pink, green and yellow. Where can I find good quality titanium body jewelry in more uncommon colors?

Nowadays, with the gender gap being narrowed, do women now actually have more rights than men?

For example, many women want equal wages and pay but still expect for the man to hold the door and pay the bill.

Women want to have equal oppurtunity yet they get to evade drafts. Also, one can't deny the advantage a woman has in court (A male gets harsher punishment than a woman does for committing the same crime, such as rape).

Are those really equal rights or do women just want the pluses of equal rights. Shouldn't it be "equal rights, equal responsibility"?

Do you have a crush on someone and just need to get it out? Have you been seeing someone for a long time and want to tell everybody how much you love them? Whatever it is, say their name and how you feel. If you been together for a long time, share a story or memory of your relationship (first kiss, first child, etc.)

Of course I feel bias for women. I know that I play the male and female role in my relationship, paying for everything and being there emotionally for my bofriend. Also, most women nowadays have to take care of children, clean the house, and be beautiful. If we sleep around we are sluts but guys are studs. We get suck with the pregnacy if we get preganant and most men don't even stay around either to take care of their kids! Being a mom is hard enough, but having a career too! But we have less power in the world and are considered lesser than a man.

Men have to be on top and have to bring in the bucks if you want a beautiful women on your arm. You get called a loser if you don't have money where as it is okay for us to be poor. If you have sex with a girl and get her preganant you have no say whether she keeps it, aborts it, or gives it up for adoption. Most guys would probably prefer her to get an abortion but many too might be upset about not being able to be a father.

personally, I love the extrovert-introvert subject and I'm of the opinion that the fact that extroverts outnumber introverts doesn't necessarily mean that they are right and introverts are wrong.it is just a personality type that differs from each other. both types have their own strenghts and weaknesses and therefore neither one is better than the other. introvert types:Bill Gates,Elvis Presley,
Ricky Nelson,Johny Carson and others.

Cannabis has been genetically modified, for many years, to improve the TCH yield, making it far stronger than the stuff being used in the 60's. With this 'refinement', noxious and carcinogenic (cancer-causing)compounds are in much higher concentration, and cannabis is usually smoked with tobacco... The health risk is plain for anyone to see, and agreed upon, even by pro-cannabis groups.
As smoking cannabis is actually inviting health problems, and no 'cannabis-tax', like tobacco-duty, has been paid to the government by users, isn't it time to exclude them from free NHS treatment, or charge them, leaving free resources for those who care about their health, but have suffered accidents, or uninvited illness?
Oh, and a former work-mate of mine, the local poster-boy and advocate for weed-smoking, is still up my local hospital, six weeks after a massive heart-attack. He actually died in the lobby. He's 38 years old. So DON'T tell me it's harmless, OK??!!

It's really not that bad. There are lots of farms, we have the beach, and lots of woods, and hiking and camping places. Most people just think of New Jersey as a big city. But that's only a tiny part of New Jersey, a spill over from New York City.
