It's like a ton of good cops/ bad cops - hey whatever works. EVERYONE can have a great marriage, you just gotta show them how.

I'm just glad I decided to step out of my comfort zone and say something. M & P could have something great. It's tough though - I've been where they are and chose not to try to make it work with that partner. It was easier to walk away and start over with someone else. But it's heartening to see the progress they've made.

Funny thing too - helping others makes you examine yourself. I've looked at myself recently and thought: are there way's I'm being a renter? What can I do about that?

M&P could definitely build a solid M, if what they're posting lately is any indication. I've kinda backed out of that and handed off the baton to the next cop - I was one of the bad cops for Mama wink It took some work to take her by the shoulders and turn her away from that "We don't need a piece of paper to be married" thingy she had going on! Last I saw, both were posting and were warming to the MB principles. Very nice!

Not patting my own back, mind you - there were a lot of posters doing the same thing! But I think it's neat that Vibrissa and others stepped in to continue the journey with them when it came time for their next steps with MB.

For those nominations, you forgot to add, best southern hairdo with hairspray. In an underdog upset I plan to defeat MelodyLane. Now, I'm going to sit back and see if she reads this. smile

Dont be jealous - its frankly the just compensation we get for having to live in california. We are taxed to death, we legally cant burn firewood in our fire place except on approved days, we must seperate our garbage into compost - recycling and trash or suffer sever penalties...but...prostitution isnt a crime, you can run naked in the streets and commit sex acts in the streets as long as its during your parade... and its basically a stinking cesspool of immorality run amuck...but HEY - we got nice weather.

Sorry - born and raised in the PRC (peoples republic of california) and wish we could afford to leave. Wyoming, colorado, montanta...someplace where my kitchen window looked out on a mountain meadow would be nice.

Is category 18 a lifetime achievement thing?

If it is referencing voluminous posts that would have to go to Mark (Tolstoy) 1952


For Category 8- Best cameo performance

I have to go with NotRomeo.

Maybe there should be a category for Best Performance by a Troll.

I'm one of the metrology freaks and I like to be able actually measure stuff.

Do we measure this in cans of Aquanet used each morning?

Or should we consider how long it takes to tease?

Should the award be for "the biggest tease?"

Maybe the criteria should be how many handguns can be hidden in the do...

note - two scrunchies and long hair can infact hid a fully loaded 38 special snub nose hand gun...and it can acutually be missed by a cop while your being searched if done the right way...

HA!

Sounds like Wayzilla's clan of jugheads in Utah.

But they do have a couple pretty good banjo players.
