They have the rights of people but they do not have the body parts, which is why I prefer to call them cyborgs - a person with parts that are both human (your workers) and artificial or mechanical (all the rest including and especially the part where the heart has been removed as a vestigial organ like the appendix).

Not your gay signal, though yours truly has know many of the asexual type of male for whom breasts do not brighten the world and who really just can't let himself know he's attracted to other males. So he is attracted to nobody. No. The sweater vest, in swaddling the penis analogue called a tie in a kind of cocoon, works as a sort of Clairehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03089121035312040451noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11671314.post-73075507377370714782012-01-03T10:36:00.001-08:002012-01-03T10:45:06.869-08:00Claire Live Video: Past Lives Q&AThree days into January and resolutions are vanishing like they never was. You can always blame it on Karma... you can blame everything on Karma. Plus, if you had past lives that you get to improve on in this life, then it goes to show you can put off to the next one all that stuff you resolved to work on in 2012. Karma is certainly a handy thing to believe in for some folks.

A girl needs to get away every now and then and Christmas is a great time to do it. People is so busy shopping, they don't notice that suddenly you ain't returning their phone calls because who has time to call in the first place?

For most of the history of your human race, the big question for most of the aforementioned humans themselves was not what but whether they was going to eat today. Today now being 2009, the problem is not starvation but obesity. Not eating much because you don't really like eggs or burnt edges on the toast won't kill you. It'd prob'ly be good for Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15289479507895774978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11671314.post-1111685079172862842011-12-13T09:24:00.000-08:002012-01-02T13:57:29.160-08:00SPARKLY THINGSI love shopping malls. Malls is America, don'cha know, especially now that they got not only the big stores, but those little booths outside. Very democratic. Big enterprise and small trying to catch the eye of women and their purses.I feel so connected to the whole of humanity in a mall.

She was looking for a purse. We went to a half dozen stores. We saw cute purses with rhinestones and puppy dogs, classy purses in leather and linen, hip purses in bright translucent floppy plastic, tote bags, shoulder bags, hand bags.

I keep trying to come up with something. But the only person I can think of that I want to be is me. So you can come over dressed up as your fantasy self. Me, I already am.Some people say you should dress up all ugly and scary so the ghouls and goblins will run away and go after someone else. I don't worry about that.

And sometimes I do. So let me tell all of you that the Bible don't say nowhere that marriage is between a man and a woman. Check out your King James if you don't believe me.

Two o'clock in the afternoon is the daily peak - kinda like a high tide at the full moon. Basically, girls, we're talking free lunches in the fall. Just smile at a guy, and he'll be panting to pick up the tab.

It has very practical applications in life.Say, for example, there is some sexual activity a guy wants to try and he's not sure his gal will go for it. He figures he'll just mention it in the middle of sex and maybe she'll agree. Mistake. Unlike your male when aroused, before she can agree, she will have toSusanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15289479507895774978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11671314.post-1111687836394738062011-09-13T10:09:00.000-07:002012-01-02T14:02:27.221-08:00THINKING MALEI was sitting in the doctor's office reading an old Psychology Today. It was that or the fishing magazine. The article talked about this guy, he's a Cambridge researcher named Simon Baron-Cohen. He studies autism and his theory says autism is just an extreme version of your basic male brain.

I took a man with me to buy them. It's a test . If he rolls his eyes and asks that question, I know he'll need a lot of training before he's an adequate sexual partner.For what is a shoe, I ask you? You live a post-Freudian world. You know what Cinderella's slipper really was. Why should a girl at Starbucks be any different? Men have their outer-tool-ness.

You missed me. I been right here, but there was a glitch with my personal software and I couldn't post nothing for a while. So I took a trip.I visited my niece in Washington, DC, which you'd think would be so different from Lost Angeles that a girl might not want to go.

The streets are empty. The pools are quiet. The early matinees might as well go back to bed. Nobody's gonna show up for anything before 3, and then only if they have friends visiting from out of town.Your people from other cities with more conventional climates - you know, rain, snow, hail, hurricane - they laugh at us.

Hair on your female is an important indicator of her femininity quotient, the size of hair correlating directly with how important she thinks femininity is in being female.Now there are two ways to measure feminine hair: how long and how big. Your long-hair-type girl places her value on her innocence and/or Mother-Naturalness.
