x-no-archive: yes 1) What is your usual "routine" when you can’t fall asleep at night. What things do you do/think?
Sometimes, I get frustrated, and irritated at how acute my hearing can be. And sometimes I silently pray and just bliss out. 2) What is one thing you have discovered that helps you cope with depression/anxiety/ptsd/whatever?
I’m cured from dep thanks to God. I found out that he’s not who/what i thought he was. I thought he hated me but I was wrong. He loves me and that’s what I needed to know. 3) Name somebody you really admire and tell us why.
Pat Rafter because he’s a gracious winner and a gracious loser. Real character in that guy. 4) If you had the chance to be in a t.v. commercial, what would you like to sell?
Vegemite. 5) What’s your favourite day of the week and why do you like it?
I like every day, because I never know what good thing is going to happen next. 6) Tell me about your favourite holiday.
Trip to Thailand. It was a backpacking adventure with my (then) wife. It was just a great time for us… 7) Did you have a favourite teacher at school? If so, why were they special to you?
Mrs Yogans. She was really encouraging and made me feel somehow special. 
What was your favourite meal as a kid?
Roast chicken. 9) When and where do you feel most relaxed and peaceful? (safe)
In bed. 10) Tell me what your favourite evening would be like.
Good friends, good music, good surroundings, good night. 11) What do you reckon the "age of consent" should be and for what reasons?
It depends on the individual but, over 18 as a rule of thumb, and ideally, after marriage. Sex is much more than a physical act. The true meaning of sex has been lost – somewhere between the first printed porno magazine and the 69th episode of Sex In The City. 12) O.K… we saw some funny examples of bumper stickers this last week on ASD, if you could design one, what would it read?
"If you think my driving’s bad you should see the guy in my rear vision mirror." oh well, not very funny… 13) If you could make a great deal of money by starring in a porn movie just the one time, would you do it?
For starters, they’d never fit ALL of me on the video cover. 
But the short answer is No, I wouldn’t do it. 14) If you believe in a higher power, what is one of the first questions you’d ask him/her and why?
Who wins a perfectly played game of chess…White or Black? Or is it a draw? Why? Coz, only God can know the answer (we’ll never work it out) and I’m curious. Thanks Grace, its a pity the answers aren’t as interesting as your questions.

Sunday…it’s the only day I don’t have to take my mom around 6) Tell me about your favorite holiday.
Samhain or for you Christians Halloween A night of contradiction where life and death, opposites but part of the same thing, are celebrated side by side. It is a night to honor the ancestors, to celebrate their lives, and to toast their memories. the veil between worlds is at its thinnest, which is why the dead can cross over on this eve. It also means that it is easier to see the into the future. It is a night to cast runes, deal cards, and scry. It is also a night to make decisions is a time of much magic and celebration 7) Did you have a favorite teacher at school? If so, why were they special to you?
college professor he was my advisor too…as a teacher he was interesting, kind, and witty but wouldn’t tolerate an rudeness or disrespect to other students or himself he read a poem that I never heard before, I loved it so much I went to college library to find more of her work with no luck, I ran into he asked what I was up to…then spent to rest of the day helping me, let me know when every there was a poetry reading or book reading, we’d go together he ask for and value my opinion What was your favorite meal as a kid? Nana’s spaghetti 9) When and where do you feel most relaxed and peaceful? (safe) depends on my mood…if I’m fed up with everything then it’s being alone at
home with a good book or if Rick and aren’t snippy at each other….it’s time spent with him, just being next to other cuddling, I wanna shut the world out and say cancer, cancer go away, leave him the fuck alone 10) Tell me what your favorite evening would be like.
again it’s the mood thing going to a poetry reading (of a good poet) then out with friends for a few drinks and to discuss what we just heard or going to an elegant fine restaurant dressed classy w/a bit of sexy, after that to blues club, dancing…then the night at five star hotel with all the amenities…we’d soak in the hot tub, big luxurious towels….music low then long slow love making 11) What do you reckon the "age of consent" should be and for what reasons?
age of consent as in? 12) O.K… we saw some funny examples of bumper stickers this last week on ASD, if you could design one, what would it read?
HA! I’m the one who posted those bumper stickers and you want me to come with one…can’t do it 13) If you could make a great deal of money by starring in a porn movie just the one time, would you do it? depends….on exactly what I had to do in porn…fairly straight sex, don’t

Lordy, this is a long one. x-no-archive: yes 1) What is your usual "routine" when you can’t fall asleep at night. What things do you do/think?
Take a bunch of benadryl and drink myself into a stupor. I don’t recommend this approach, btw. 2) What is one thing you have discovered that helps you cope with depression/anxiety/ptsd/whatever?
Targetted success combined with being able to say "what the fuck" (ala Booger in "Risky Business".) 3) Name somebody you really admire and tell us why.
One of possibly several: my oldest brother. He has discipline I would kill for, and is very hard-working whereas I am lazy. He’s been relatively successful in his field, yet inspite of this, he’s one of the most down-to-earth, nicest guys you could hope to meet. 4) If you had the chance to be in a t.v. commercial, what would you like to sell?
I would give my first-born to be in an infomercial with Ron Popeil. 5) What’s your favourite day of the week and why do you like it?
Sunday night, because all the work is usually done by then. 6) Tell me about your favourite holiday.
Probably Christmas, because I like snow, I like my family, and all that sentimental crap. 7) Did you have a favourite teacher at school? If so, why were they special to you?
In high school, probably my social studies teacher, because he would talk politics with me. He was of course an NEA liberal who hated Reagan, but he would engage with me. What was your favourite meal as a kid?
Not important to me, really. 9) When and where do you feel most relaxed and peaceful? (safe)
Probably in front of my PC. Most relaxed and peaceful at my family’s cottage in northern Michigan. I have absolutely no problem getting to sleep there. 10) Tell me what your favourite evening would be like.
Hm…don’t know. Probably an entire day/night thing with my wife – spend the day in Tahoe, followed by a nice meal, and then a romantic evening. The reality of my life is far different. We spend our romantic nights now doing floors. 11) What do you reckon the "age of consent" should be and for what reasons?
Consent for what? A bigger concern for me is parents. If you fuck up raising your kid with some basic self-respect and intelligence, then passing consent laws don’t really do much. Not that we shouldn’t have them, but the onus IMO is primarily on the parents. I just saw 3 movies this weekend, including "Blackhawk Down" and "And they were soldiers". There were people in there with *3* yr old kids. I’m not shitting. What the hell is a parent bringing their 3-4 yr old child in to see a movie like this? Unfuckingbelievable. 12) O.K… we saw some funny examples of bumper stickers this last week on ASD, if you could design one, what would it read?
I want to get one that says "Remember Daniel Pearl" or "Remember Neil Roberts". 13) If you could make a great deal of money by starring in a porn movie just the one time, would you do it?
Of course not. I would be killed if I did this, so the money wouldn’t really matter. 14) If you believe in a higher power, what is one of the first questions you’d ask him/her and why?
Why does survival depend on animals brutalizing each other?
Response:
x-no-archive: yes Day late dollar short, must be time for my answer 1) What is your usual "routine" when you can’t fall asleep at night. What things do you do/think? I think of problems that I cannot solve and the tape runs and runs and runs. I get up and watch the boob tube or see what’s the haps here.
Try to sleep ad nauseum but most likely watch something on PBS. Unfortunately the local pbs station is turning into a crappier version of A&E and I quite hate that. 2) What is one thing you have discovered that helps you cope with depression/anxiety/ptsd/whatever? Stopping my negative self talk before it takes root and focusing on doing something physical till I am exhausted.
Usually a form of rationalization or just a form of hope that things will get better. Simple pleasures. 3) Name somebody you really admire and tell us why. Abe Lincoln, childhood hero. Nobody new yet.
I would go with Lincoln as well. To that I would add Woodrow Wilson, as well as many of the people who fight daily just to stay alive and not get hassled around. 4) If you had the chance to be in a t.v. commercial, what would you like to sell? I wouldn’t do it.
Sell most likely something that didn’t waste the person’s time and actually tell it in a factual way. It would help if it was something that had a litlte to do with self-evangelizing. 5) What’s your favourite day of the week and why do you like it? When I worked it was friday, least favorite was thursday.
All time day Friday. I count my weekend on Friday. Things seem magiacl in a sort of way on that day. Saturday morning also has significance from my childhood. 6) Tell me about your favourite holiday. George Washington’s birthday. The traditional day for first planting of sweet peas in Wa State.
Christhmas hands down. Gifts, anticipication, next would be thanksgiving and then my birthday. 7) Did you have a favourite teacher at school? If so, why were they special to you? 6 grade teacher, he took a interest in me and my science teacher who encouraged me to go farther (it didn’t take much).
Hmmm. No real completely extraordinary people for all time but if I have to pick I would pick my first CS teacher. I am currently where I am on this career path because of him. What was your favourite meal as a kid? graham cracker mush. Just re-discovered it. Heat up some milk crunch up some graham crackers, sugar if you want it.
spaghetti and meat balls, in fact most pastas 9) When and where do you feel most relaxed and peaceful? (safe) My Place
With my father or at home or both. Usually on said Friday or Saturday. Usually accompanying my favorite meal. 10) Tell me what your favourite evening would be like. Not is but would be. Sitting on the beach with a surf pole cast out. A straw hat on my head and a lounge chair, watching the sun go down.
well possibly the aforementioned but I would want to do something like this: Spend a wild night in some sort of holodeck of Star Trek fame. 11) What do you reckon the "age of consent" should be and for what reasons? Let them run wild.
in what sex? well I don’t see any reason that it is bad the way that it is but I don’t think we need witch hunts for "evil" people. Just enough to make sure we don’t have any 13 year old prostitutes out there who are dead before they are 20 back in the good old days. 12) O.K… we saw some funny examples of bumper stickers this last week on ASD, if you could design one, what would it read? If you tail gate me I will flick a booger on you windshield.
After "Keep honking, I’m reloading" it would be "I’m in anger management and you’re honking at *me*" 13) If you could make a great deal of money by starring in a porn movie just the one time, would you do it? Toadie Pud now appearing in *the mud puddle pumpers* naw
Do I get attractive paper bag to hide me head? My sister and I talk about these wild senarios all the time. In theory for enough money you could go off and retire somewhere and no one would really care. 14) If you believe in a higher power, what is one of the first questions you’d ask him/her and why? Am I doing it right? Because I want to learn
Didn’t you notice me? Didn’t you see my suffering. I wasted most of my life in church and you still screwed me over! PS. why not just tell people about you and prove you exist and not start with the whole Bible thing. yerbutter, yerbutter – that’s all folks yuluwirri Thanks Grace toad Posted Via Binaries.net = SPEED+RETENTION+COMPLETION = http://www.binaries.net

Those poor kids.
Unbelievable. Of course, I don’t have the cajones to confront these idiots, but I want to. They’re brains are still physically developing at that age. People worry about whether or not some cartoons are too scary for kids this age, and people are bringing them to see people getting literally blown apart. Fucking idiots.
