I smell appealing, but I'm toxic

I haven't done this for a while, so I've gone a little crazy. Read some, and come back later for more!


  • You can never have too much free anti-virus protection, and AVG has redone their GUI interface to make using their product a more pleasant experience. It's the best avaialble, too - an added bonus. It's not perfect for Spyware, unless you shell out some clams for the more robustversion with real time protection.

  • What do cops want you to do when they make you the subject of a traffic stop? Save yourself some hassles with a few no brainers, and a few less obvious tips.

  • How to use your cellphone to get yourself busted. Brilliant.

  • Finally, Congress might step up to treat GIs the way we say we should be treating them. A new GI Bill is in the works, though the President has said he'd veto it in the past.

  • Breasts - what's not to love? Bigger is better for some, while smaller is preferable to others. I'm not sure guys understand why women obsess over them as much as they do - if you've got 'em, and are willing to share 'em, we think yours are lovely. Honest.

  • Without making comments on the propriety of wearing a speedo on the beach, is it really something that the police should be worrying about? Perhaps we should be mad at Speedo Guy for distracting police resources from real crime?

  • Family values politician shuns his sister. Well, she's gay, and that makes her not part of the family, or something. Oh, he's siring love children, too. He's so family oriented, that he wants use his seed to grow new ones. I hate hypocrisy.

  • Hero saves elderly lady from certain death. Cool story.

  • Randy OAPs. Heh. That's "Old Aged Pensioner." :lol: I hope the old testosterne is still bubblin' away when I am in the retirement home!

  • If you're a white officer, and you are profiling your trafic stops, you should make sure the black guy you pull over and harrass isn't your boss's boss. Hahaha. Whoops!

  • I don't get it. You're invited to a cuddle party. Wear your PJs, and be prepared for lot's of intimate contact. By the way, you'll have to keep your pants on - get frisky, and we'll stone you.

  • Unfortunate name. This one speaks for itself.

  • I'm glad I don't have any fetishes. People can be weird.

  • What would you do with 500,000 Lego bricks?

  • DIY in the kitchen:

  • Extra DIY: make a cat bed from an old sweater.

  • More Extra DIY: more fun with vodka

  • NYC. Oy! They've sued a gun dealer. The reason, of course, that there are gun dealers, is that we have a Second Amendment that permits citizens to keep and bear arms. NYC wants to prosecute their case while prohibiting the defense from mentioning the 2nd Amendment. Huh? Why the heck do we have a Constitution, if not as a defense against actions of the State? Crikey, that's some serious Chutzpah!

  • Girls will be girls. Of course, some girls will use explosives to blow up each other's homes.

  • I don't have a problem with most of what the Rev. Al Sharpton says he stands for, it's his actions that really grate on my nerves. I think he's an ambulance chaser, and will attach himself to any story that will get his face on camera. Turns out he may owe some back taxes, too.

  • "Poop happens!" I like a city attorney with a sense of humor. I hope the woman bringing the suit gets charged costs and fees. Sheesh.

  • Organize your information with Tobo, which lets you assign metadata (tags) to your bits, bytes, documents, lists, music... anything you save on your computer!

  • Annoyed by telemarketers? Fight back!

  • If you're expecting something from the IRS, and you wonder where it is, you can check online: IRS Stimulus Payment Tracker.

  • With time, and a good deal of work, you can become an expert on nearly anything. It's time to get started!

There is a lot of pressure on women to be "perfect", but I believe beautiful women are beautiful with "flaws" and all. We all need character and what makes us beautiful is our confidence, and ability to love the skin we're in.

This was a tough one for me, having considered a breast reduction last year, and finally opting out of it, after my partner assured me of my "natural beauty".

I've said it elsewhere: Women are much tougher on themselves than men are. And, despite Playboy's best efforts, men are much more realistic about what is beautiful in the "real world" than are women. That is, women aspire to the ideals of beauty represented in the media, while men recognize that the ideals of beauty represented in the media have about the same cnnection with reality as do comic books.

Wild generalizations, of course, but I've spent some time with women who tried hard to live up to impossible standards when they were already lovely.

I stopped being so hard on myself, for my daughters. What message was I sending them if I couldn't appreciate myself?
As a former model I'm all too aware of those pressures, and as a thirty five year old woman, really feeling them.

I've known a couple of relatively famous models. It's a rough life. They were attractive women, but certainly not as perfect as they appeared in print (after makeup, airbrushing, reshaping, and whatever other techniques were applied to make them look "just right"). So, even though they were pretty enough to be models, they weren't pretty enough to be in print without work. On top of that, it often wasn't their beauty that was appreciated by their photographers or agents, but the imperfections that were magnified. None of them thought of themselves as pretty.

It just seems to me that about 90% of beauty has nothing to do with how a person looks. That's why I spend so much time working with Vashti on expressing the beauty within her.
