    On the old Huzzah boards, the Atlanta & StL fans had what they called a snack thread. After awhile, it degenerated into Asian & German BDSM porn pics. Pretty nasty stuff.

    Who needs jumper cables on their nuts when good old titty pics are enough for guys like me ... (@irish won't get a post that teed up again for awhile)

    I wish more people woke up with gratitude for waking up
    Understanding how lucky and blessed they are, regardless of their situation
    Got a couple of good friends around 40 who are not where they thought they'd be and it's noticeably getting to them
    Sad

    i do my best everyday to remind myself how fortunate i am to have my life even when its just me and my dogs a lot of the time
    i try to think like them because a treat and a walk is all they need to have a great day
    are your friends having physical issues or just wishing they had better lives?
    i was thinking about it a lot this week but i read something about how other countries people perceive a smiling American
    and i was channeling that old Pretenders song cause i got a smile for everyone i meet...
    and i was noticing whether its in a store or wherever when you suddenly come upon someone at the same time
    i make face contact and smile as i let them through first cause i know inside none of this matters and one persons smile can change a lot of peoples days
    i know that's trite and all but i believe we get what we give and its not about skin or politics in those brief moments
    yet sometimes i find myself mired in some personal shit and a strangers genuine smile knocks me back to earth
    right now i'm healthy and can choose to walk pretty far and go wherever i please
    not always going to be that way and in a NY minute
    have to remember not to get too sad over others misery though cause there's a lot of it around and it sticks to us
    like a wise man (psychiatrist friend over a beer) once said "we have to be like Swiss cheese"
    embrace and enjoy each day BDK even if a free jumbo jack ain't on the table!

    I feel blessed to have the life I have, but it's not without trials and tribulations and I always try to stay grounded, good times or not-so-good. I know it's not easy for everyone to think that way, and I never will downplay the effect that depression can have on someone. I grew up in a family where that wasn't a significant issue, but then my wife's family is the opposite so now I see it first hand. Like you said BDK, we should always have gratitude for every day, because that blessing is not indefinite.

    I know I'm in the minority here with regards to country music, but "It's a Great Day to be Alive," by Travis Tritt is a classic, and the type of song that could quickly pull someone out of bad funk. I know whenever I hear it on the radio it peps me up.

    Travis Tritt, "It's a Great Day to be Alive"

    You yourself is all you can ever hope to control.
    And even that its only with the help from above to keep you grounded below.
    Only one thing to do when you realize how lucky and blessed you are.

    First, dont be sad.
    Second, do something more about it.
    Eve if you have already done so.
    Remind your friends about their blessings.
    And show them how lucky they are to have you as their friend.

    I can almost guarantee that after a few minutes of doing some more of that the feeling of sadness will improve.

    Physically, fine for the most part
    They just wish they had better lives
    Can't have a better life until your happy with the current life you have imo
    Even then, you gotta be happy you have life
    With life there is opportunity
    Life is unfair, the fact that some of us wake up and others don't doesn't make sense
    Recently I was thinking about an old friend, Jeff, after watching a beatboxing video by a guy named Wing
    Jeff passed away maybe 17 years ago at age 19
    Happy go lucky guy, all he cared about was beatboxing and his girlfriend
    I remember talking to him on campus every other day
    Then one day he stopped showing up and passed away within a few months from extremely aggressive cancer
    Fit guy, happy, seemingly healthy, gone in an instant
    Always gotta be grateful regardless of how little or much you have or what situations you're dealing with


    Old video I remember of Jeff



    Video that reminded me of him; I'd beat he'd be giving this guy a run for his money if he was around

    guess i need to pay better attention to my phrasing cause i sure as shit don't see myself as holy
    thanks for the insight BZ

    i used to think you used to misunderstand all of my posts because you just didnt like me or wanted to fuck with me or something
    but i see it happening all the time with random posters you dont have a problem with
    i dont even want to make jokes
    its becoming a little weird

    it was a swiss cheese joke
    bz was talking about holes
    like the ones in my holy underwear
    and im not even a latter day saint
    a grammaton... thats another order altogether

    then again what do i know
    to me it looks like BZ was just squeezing your balls with love
    but maybe im wrong and he doesnt think too kindly of your holier than though attitude and wanted to break your balls a little bit
    i wouldnt take it that way big boss
    the older gentleman meant no disrespect

    fuck off rube idgaf what you think about shit and don't have a problem w anyone
    although it clearly brings you great joy to think there are problems and seems the only reason you exist on this site
    the fact i misunderstood just made me shoulder shrug and try to show some humility is that weird to you dude?
    btw why is it you need to answer every single post these days?
    i've just been ignoring all your name calling spit balling verbosity hoping its going to go away at some point
    clearly you have some major psychological issues and think its necessary to opine on anything said on this site
    give it a break
    never blocked anyone here but i'm real close cause your input is unwanted and worthless

    i was even nice that time
    didnt make no jokes or nothing

    yeah, trying to show humility is weird you weirdo
    please dont talk about stoicism again, or piety lol

    dont you always talk about how you hate virtue signalers on the left?
    dont you see that you are very often the very thing you rail against?

    but thats like, just one of your many strong opinions
    you have no problem having opinions
    and you have quite a few opinions
    they also tend to be pretty strong and non compromising
    just like i have some particular strong ones too i guess
    which seems to bother you a lot
    they just sometimes happen to be different or totally opposite to yours
    not my fault thats how you like it
    but you dont have to let it build up and bother you inside
    just reply and give me a piece of your mind
    i got a good collection of pieces
    gotta catch em all!

    why is it that you have problems with me having opinions ?
    im here stopping misunderstandings from happening
    nipping stuff in the bud
    making sure you guys dont scare off any of the dodgers fans coming around at the start of the season
    or any lakers straggler coming in for the playoffs
    dont mind me

    name calling?
    moi?
    from you... you accusing me of name calling lol
    what are you rich little because thats a little rich

    im over here being nothing but jestful
    you like to take things low and slow
    i like to keep things high and light!
    i suggest you get busy doing the same
    and get high off of your own supply
    so you can get off mine
