Does love make you dumb?
It’s February so I’m practically obligated to think about love. I’m not complaining though! Love is wonderful and grand. I marvel at it in a lot of ways. As great and exhilarating as love can be, it can also get crazy and irrational. I’m not a fan of that part but I am starting to think it is part of the process.
Do you think that doing dumb things for the person you love is a part of being in a relationship?
Are we to be held responsible for our actions when we are head over heels, falling hard (and fast) in love?
What was the dumbest thing you did for love?

I think my use of Pus…syCat…as in “Pus…syCat Dolls” got me sent to moderation.
I was saying that I don’t understand 12 year olds who look they are 21.
And as one who does not have children, I really can’t understand the mindset of parents who allow their daughters to like mini-P-Cat Dolls and their sons to look like Lil Wayne Jr.

Blackfoote, Tampa is on the fast track up and once Atlanta has that killer instinct instilled in them they are going to be a handful. For some reason I think the Saints are not going to do so well.

Swamped at work, just popping in to say HI!
SCool – Agree about dressing kids age-appropriate. My mom was adamant about that. I developed early, but she was able to dress me strategically, to camoflage until my age caught up with my body. I don’t get parents allowing kids to dress like hoochies & thugs, but later will be crying on tv when someone mistakes them for just those images! Our kids have to overcome enough – don’t need clothing thrown in the mix! Plus, especially with girls, it reenforces the mindset that more emphasis be placed on her body and not her mind. Not good.

LEGGS, I keep forgetting to ask, do you play fantasy 5? I know you have been successful with cash 3. In the last few weeks, there have been three large winners of fantasy 5. Two were 600,000+ and one 900,000+. I played the 900+ for a couple of days and got 2 of 5 numbers both time. They give you one free ticket for the following day. Oh well.

@cba ~ just started playing Fantasy 5. Last night I played 972 and 971 fell. All I could do is stare at the tv! I’ve been playing 0125 in Cash 4 for a while now, but that stubborn a$$ number refuses to fall. 0255 fell midday yesterday!

ATL…..thank you…it’s much appreciated!
” I thing that the mind is strong but often wrong, but the heart never lies.”
PURPLE…true. But it will lead to hell with gasoline thongs on! I’ll take my head for $1,000!
SWISS…ooh no…I didn’t film that. Or did I?
LEGGS….I noticed Evelyn’s daughter too. I can’t lie…I looked older as a teen because of my body. But my face showed my true age. I used to get hit on all the time by older men. The respectful ones kept it moving when I said I was 16. The pervs was trying to be on it like groupies at the Superbowl!
It scares me because I have a 15 year old cousin who has almost the same body except she has real hips. And these dudes look at her like we are the same age. I’ma catch a case!
