Tyrone approves gun shop by unanimous vote
The vote at the May 3 meeting of the Tyrone Town Council over zoning changes that included guns shops as a conditional use of C-2 (Highway Commercial) zoning came with unanimous approval. The agenda topic was essentially a reconsideration of the previous zoning district change from PUD (Planned Unit Development) to C-2 and the inclusion of guns shops as a conditional use in C-2.
The meeting Thursday night last more than three hours and drew more than 180 people, many of whom are residents of the nearby Southampton subdivision. Twenty people spoke in favor of the zoning changes and 24 spoke in opposition to the gun shop and indoor gun range proposed for the south side of the Publix shopping center on the west side of Ga. Highway 74. The location is approximately 218 feet east of the Southampton subdivision and 400 feet from the nearest residence.
The approval came with a number of conditions. Among those was the requirement to construct a four-foot concrete wall that will extend approximately 65 feet and will be situated between the gun shop and Partner's Pizza. The condition was one of those stated on numerous occasions by residents as a concern due to the potential for the accidental discharge of a firearm in the parking lot.
Comments both pro and con echoed those made at the previous council meeting and two planning commission meetings where the rezoning and conditional use topics had been discussed and, at the council meeting, approved on a 3-2 vote.
Among those opposed, an overwhelming majority said they were gun advocates or gun owners. And nearly all said they supported the idea of having a local gun shop. The problem, they said, was with the intended location on a vacant piece of property near the subdivision on the south side of the shopping center.
Mayor Eric Dial prior to the vote said, "We believe our hands are tied. We didn't choose this location. We're trying to alleviate any problems with (the gun shop) being there."
Though Dial did not elaborate further, his comment was clear enough. If the council had decided to remove gun shops from the C-2 zoning category it would potentially open the door for property owner Phil Seay to litigate the town's decision. That is what occurred several years ago when Seay wanted to put the Publix shopping center along Hwy. 74. The town turned him down and he successfully sued the city. Seay noted that fact at a recent council meeting.
The reconsideration of the rezoning and conditional use items came after a number of Southampton subdivision residents filed suit against the town on May 2 stating that, "approving the allowance of a gun shop as a conditional use in a C-2 (Commercial Highway) zoning district and also the allowance of a shooting range as an accessory use to a gun shop on the subject property and seek(s) a declaratory judgment to declare these rezoning decisions to be a manifest abuse of rezoning power and therefore illegal and void."
The four counts specified in the suit include violations of the state zoning procedures law, violations of the town's zoning ordinance, a conflict of interest and potential violation of ethical requirements on the part of a member of the Tyrone Planning Commission and a manifest abuse of zoning power.
Plaintiffs in the suit include Southampton subdivision residents Leila Richardson, Wayne Mason, Gwendolyn Keyes Fleming, Larry Bennet, Donna Ballard, Natalie Milner, Michelle Williams and Thomas Redd and Southampton Plaza shopping center business owner LaGuana Albarracin.
The plaintiffs are also appealing the rezoning decision to amend the town's zoning map that changed the PUD district to a C-2 and seeks to have the rezoning decision void because it was conducted in violation of state law.
The PUD district has not existed as an official zoning district since 1995. The town recently completed an update of the zoning ordinance, part of which involved a decrease in the number of zoning classifications that exist throughout the town, according to town records. The rezoning from PUD to C-2 was intended to serve as a next step in the process by transitioning all properties zoned PUD to C-2, town records said.
The properties situated on the east and west sides of Hwy. 74 were largely developed under the old PUD classification.
Indoor gun ranges were previously allowed in the C-3 zoning district, the town's most intense commercial zoning category. The amendment of the zoning ordinance in October 2011 eliminated the C-3 district. The new C-2 district contains the uses previously allowed in C-3. The town apparently addressed the suit by re-advertising and posting signage for the Planning Commission and Town Council public hearings.
Pertaining to another aspect of the suit, Planning Commissioner Chris Wigginton, whose company did work for proposed gun shop project, did not attend the planning commission meeting last week when that body reconsidered and voted to recommend the matter for approval by the council. Town attorney Dennis Davenport at the planning commission meeting said the town's position is that a gun shop is a retail business. Davenport also noted that he would be responding to the citizens' law suit on May 4.
A number of residents at each of the public hearings on the issue said that gun shops and gun ranges would be better suited in areas zoned for industrial purposes.
As for industrial-zoned property as a site for gun shops, such properties do exist inside the town limits. One of those properties is situated between the Southampton subdivision and Hwy. 74 between Carriage Oaks Drive and Peggy Lane.
I Love it, another establishment in which to drool over firearms and to exercise my 2nd amendment rights to increase my armory. The ATF just approved my form so my dreams of procuring a Thompson m1a1 are closer to becoming reality . I do not hear an out cry of property declining property values in Senoia. I await with baited breath the opening of the range in Tyrone.
Congratulations Tyrone, on this new business entering our fine city. I'm sure you will be pleased with those fine folks. Your council meeting went well. We were all very impressed with your diligence on the research and the hard data you've supplied to the people. You really did a wonderful job presenting the material, as well. Very brief and to the point. Now, I can't say that it was heard by all, but nevertheless, it was very professional! It seems your opposition was having a hard time understanding (or retaining) the facts, not to mention proper city meeting protocol. It was actually a little embarrassing seeing some of our citizens from Tyrone on the news, acting out with amateurish phrases with no supporting data. I don't believe they supported their case very well. Perhaps a more intellectual response would have served them better? A professor I had, always said, "Irrational behavior leads to loss of audience, then eventually solitude." I guess you can paraphrase that with, "You can get more flies with honey."
On the business side, I can't imagine any city that wouldn't welcome and appreciate a new business in today's economy. Our current legislature doesn't exactly make it easy on the new entrepreneur. There are many examples here, in Tyrone. The old fire station on the corner of Palmetto and Senoia. That poor building traded hands several times in a five year span. It's also a real shame for those beautiful new buildings on Palmetto road to be abandoned. It's a reminder of how unstable our economy is, and how unforgiving the effects can be. I applaud any person with the guts to start a new business right now. Good for you!
Thank you Tyrone... Again. For voting this in... Again. This is great! We will get a gun shop with a new indoor shooting range, with all new equipment. Hopefully, I'll get to rub elbows with some of the police officers. Maybe they can show me a thing or two. Just think how this will improve the relationship between the citizens and the police department. Awesome! The other two ranges even close enough to drive to are old and nasty looking, must not be maintained very well. They will pale in comparison to this new, state of the art range. Plus, I can pick up my groceries right next door... after washing my hands, of course. I'll have to quit shopping in PTC and give Tyrone my business. This is great! And a few of the home owners say they wont shop there anymore. BONUS! Oh, by the way, our car's battery and wheel weights are made of lead. Better not drive in the Southampton subdivision. They all pass out when they get close to lead.
Opponents of the Gun Shop hearing May 3 were wasting their efforts. The real issue was a cover your butt effort by Tyrone's Attorney and Council to avoid illegal notification procedures in the previous rezoning.
Council had already rezoned the property but were caught with their pants down when residents sued. Count one of the suit proved Tyrone had not followed GA Zoning Procedures Law by not publishing notice at least 15 days prior to the hearing. The ad did not contain a statement about the zoning purpose that a firing range would be included.
Count two points out that Tyrone was grossly negligent in violating its own Zoning Ordinance by not posting a sign on the property that gave the purpose of the hearing, the zoning application number and the current and proposed zoning – this violation is intentional because these laws are clearly stated in the Ordinance and recorded complaints are numerous, going back to the mid-1990's. The most recent complaints on notifications being in 2007, 2008, 2011 – In 2007 a lawsuit was filed over these notification issues which were quoted verbatim to the 2012 lawsuit. In the past, lawsuits were funded by one person and the town would hire expensive outside lawyers to drag the case out to force the plaintiff to run out of money to pay lawyers. This gross negligence allows for punitive damages.
Other violations included failure of the Planning Commission to investigate any adverse effects of the zoning proposal and for the zoning administrator to write a report of any effects for presentation to the Council and public. This has never been done in the past. The main one for citizens is any harm or loss of value to the property owners.
Count three deals with an ethical violation of a Planning Commission's conflict of interest i.e. voting for the zoning while profiting from its approval.
The huge overflow crowd that opposed the zoning were duped into thinking that if they presented legitimate concern the Council might deny the zoning. Many concerns were given. Derrick Jackson reminded Council that the first three words of the constitution were, "we the people" , obviously referring to the huge opposition in attendance and the oath elected officials take to uphold the constitution.
But what the opposition failed to realize was that Council had already made up their mind to unanimously approve the zoning. The hearing was to avoid lawsuits by correcting their previous failures listed above.
S. Lindsey's statement that history, precedent and zoning laws makes the lawsuit a non-starter is not factually true. Tyrone has a history of taking away land uses in violation of their own zoning laws and devaluing property of the majority. Their 2004 Amendment forced more than 30 businesses to leave Tyrone and violated property rights. If nothing else the citizens' lawsuit is a starter that forced the government to follow their own notification laws and legal investigation by the yes appointees of the Planning Commission on proposed zoning.
A similar case has already been adjudicated against Tyrone and for the land owner. The Zoning has already occurred you failed at that time to sue to change it and now only after you object to what is going in do you wish to change laws already in place.
That is why it is a non-starter... The developer and landowner will simply sue Tyrone AGAIN and win AGAIN.. the only change is the cost will go back on you the residents of Tyrone to pay the legal tab incurred.
Because the Tyrone counsel, probably led by those like you, attempted to deny the developer an opportunity to build on land set as a conservation parcel but then went and changed the zoning any way, the Tyrone Counsel actually violated it's own zoning restrictions that was set back in 1996.. It was ruled unconstitutional and the ruling against Tyrone has now forced them to allow the development. Mostly the ruling was affirmed. So viola you now have a Shopping Center on land once zoned as a conservation parcel.
Your only option now is to use "public detriment" as an argument.. which is again a non-starter as no data exist that show an Armory is a detriment to the public interest.
Like I said you can wish it away.. but it is not happening.
In the gun shop lawsuit the Statutory State Law and Tyrone Law takes precedent because they are legislative and clearly enumerated regarding procedure to rezone. Case law only comes in for similar cases. This case is not similar to Tyrone v. Tyrone LLC.
I'm very familiar with the Tyrone LLC Case as it is now an issue in a legal malpractice case against one of the lawyers in the LLC case. Tyrone LLC had a constitutional issue. The current homeowner's case is a procedural due process case; having to do with statutory laws regarding notification of the rezoning that Tyrone did not follow. Therefore, Tyrone LLC is not applicable and statutory law takes precedent.
S. Lindsey, I'm not going to try to educate you on all the law, because you obviously don't understand it and will only make some uneducated response as you normally do and did here.
My original point was that Tyrone realized that they never follow their notification laws and came back to correct their advertising by placing wording on their signs exactly as the homeowners suit said they must do. Tyrone hopes that these corrections will cause the case to be dismissed, but we shall see.
Tyrone's answer to the case was not on record as of last Friday and Tyrone Attorney Davenport does not have an outstanding legal mind as his work is an issue in the legal malpractice case mentioned above. S. Lindsey you were wrong about case law taking precedent. Stop trying to confuse the public about law you know nothing about.
If so how?
If as you think that case law does not set precedent then why is there a shopping center on the very property you so object to having a gun shop?
Seems like my reality beats your "education" doesn't?
TC you can surmise my understanding or the lack thereof all you want. You simply cannot un-ring a bell. The Shopping center exist. That's a reality you have to wake up to.
You can go and sue the Town Counsel, the owners of the Armory, the land owners et al... but... you have one big glaring issue..
So let's say you prevail that Tyrone failed to follow legal procedures for notifications etc...
What do you expect to happen.. Tear down the Shopping Center? Really? Do you really believe a Judge is going to rule that even if Tyrone failed to properly notify that they will have to start over and tear it all down?
TC not going to happen.
You are not even going to be able to keep out the Armory with your suit. So what exactly is the point? If that point is to make the Counsel start following it's own rules and regulations well you can do that without a suit. Simply challenge them at election time and vote them out.
The problem with our Society is the litigious nature we have. We want change and instead of working inside the system to get it done we sue.
The Armory is coming... Enjoy. Hope to see you there.
BTW-got 15 years experience with the Law so go ahead and feel superior you are still going to lose and simply cost the citizens more money.
I am not suing over the gun shop. I don't care if it goes in or not. My original point was ---- let me repeat, my original point was: THAT THE TYRONE COUNCIL DID NOT FOLLOW THE GEORGIA ZONING PROCEDURES ACT AND TYRONE NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE LAWS. Please read my original blog.
You are the one who got into statutory vs. case precedents. Your "reality" is your inability to comprehend. If the government doesn't follow the law of zoning procedure, the zoning is void. That's what the homeowners' lawsuit was saying. That's why Tyrone had to go back and rezone the property a 2nd time and follow the law, which they did by correcting the news and sign notifications.
Tyrone hopes that the zoning is now legal. But, when you don't legally notify the public as in the 1st zoning, the public doesn't know what the hell is going on.
The gun shop zoning will probably stand. Maybe it will and may be it will not, depending on the homeowners' next move, if any. I'm neutral. The lawsuit has unexpectedly performed a great service to the citizens as a whole. It has forced Tyrone to follow notification laws after decades of refusing to do so. That's my point and that's the issue I was trying to get across.
In the future I will make you a case study in intelligence quotients. I.Q. to you.
where the Sun doesn't shine...
You see like most Psydo-Intellectuals you failed to make yourself clear.
Where in your little missive, when you joined this conversational debate,
do you state that you are not opposed to the Gun Shop?
You did say this:
Opponents of the Gun Shop hearing May 3 were wasting their efforts.
Now one might infer that you sympathized with those very people.
You also said this:
The huge overflow crowd that opposed the zoning were duped into thinking that if they presented legitimate concern the Council might deny the zoning. Many concerns were given. Derrick Jackson reminded Council that the first three words of the constitution were, "we the people" , obviously referring to the huge opposition in attendance and the oath elected officials take to uphold the constitution.
But what the opposition failed to realize was that Council had already made up their mind to unanimously approve the zoning. The hearing was to avoid lawsuits by correcting their previous failures listed above.
Again it is clear where you stand.. Now if you were not so enamored with yourself and your huge brain case (overcompensating I am sure) you might realize you left off out where you said that but I digress.
Where in these quotes do you state you do not OPPOSE the Gun shop?
Just wondering.
IS IN YOUR BRAIN S.L. There is no such word as psydo in the dictionary.
I know you are but what am I?
Feel better now? Want to see if I will hit you first and all that?
That is the best argument you have? Mr. Pseudo-Intellectual? Grow a pair will ya!
BTW-How is that lawsuit going? What is it's purpose? What is your vision of the Judicial results?
Or do you even have one?
LOL!! "psydo" may have been spelled wrong but the point was pretty clear. I find it very disappointing a healthy debate has turned in to name calling although I must admit a pretty funny read with my morning coffee.
Congratulations Tyrone on a good business decision. I certainly hope some of your fine citizens will eventually understand... It would be interesting if someone does a case study flowing the opening of the gun store to settle the impact debate once and for all. Obviously tax revenue will increase and my hunch is pizza/grocery sales will rise as well.
With history and precedent clearly on the side of the Landowner and the Zoning Laws clearly established the "Lawsuit" was and is a non-starter".
Each Municipality needs revenue right now. Businesses, especially very popular ones, bring in much needed tax revenues that the very people who are complaining about the business will use the services that it's tax base provides.
All the hysteria over guns and safety is just that hysteria. Currently the AR Bunker and Autry's gets a lot of my business. That's taxes paid to Newnan. Once this is built Tyrone will.
The AR Bunker helped turn my Tactical CAR-15 into a nail driver and customized my Kimber Gold Combat II .45. These guys know what they are doing... It will be great to see them a little closer.
I'm surprised people are objecting to a gun range being built next to it. The shopping center is dying rather quickly, but I guess people in Tyrone prefer to go to PTC to shop in the first place.
I went to the meeting last night and found it to be very interesting. The people of South Hampton were very organized in their opposition to the location of the gun shop/range for three reasons that I could see.
First, after a lengthy explanation by the owner and by the range designer of how the air filtration system will work (the air going out will be cleaner than the air coming in) and how spent lead will be cleaned out, the opponents still argued that lead contamination of the community was a huge possibility. One nice lady, who said she was a nurse, referenceded a study of the effects of lead paint on children and listed all the illnesses it can cause. I don't think you can buy lead based paint anymore and I feel confident in saying there won't be any lead based paint used in the shop or range. Many residents were also concerned shooters would not wash their hands after shooting, then go to the Publix ancontaminatete the produce by touching it. What about thpeoplele the go to Autrey's and forget to wash their hands? They could go to the same Publix on the way home couldn't they? What about the people who go to thbathroomom without washing their hands? My point is, there are many other ways to contaminate fresh produce that don't seem to concern these people.
Second was location. I can see their concerns there but it was shown that there just aren't any other suitable locations in town. When asked about finding another location Mr. Morris was concerned about the $60,000 he had already invested in this location and who would front the next 60K for another one. The South Hampton residents said he should eat it and write it off on his taxes. Mr. Morris also raised the issue of land prices because the owners of the properties knew he was in a tight spot and were raising their prices.
The third concern of the residents was home values. One speaker used the opinion of a real estate agent (those were her exact words) to show how home values in the subdivision would drop when the gun shop opened. Another speaker quoted her brother who is an avid shooter/hunter, Harley rider and NRA member saying he would never live near an indoor shooting range. Apparently opinion and personal feelings are strong arguments to use these days.
The probems of neglegent discharges and stolen guns were also brought up without any real data to back up the claims. One speaker had police reports of four guns bieng stolen from the AR Bunker but the owner's daughter reported all all four had been recovered.
Bottom line, if you are going to argue against something, get some hard data and listen to the facts being presented by the other side. Six months after the range has been in bussiness nobody will notice any difference in the area.
I moved to Tyrone from the area formerly represented by the hideous troll in your profile pic. I had hoped that the people of Tyrone would be less... stupid. But all this angst over the gun shop/range has me wondering.
There is NO valid argument for preventing this business from opening at the proposed location. Lifer did a great job of addressing several of these bizarre concerns. I'll add that I happen to know and work with a part-time employee of the AR Bunker's existing location. He's former military, retired law enforcement, and a great guy. Those who are concerned about an increase in crime should know that they'll be much safer with such people around. I also know many current LEOs who will be in the shop frequently, so let's put the "it will increase crime" nonsense to rest.
If we're lucky, the opening of this store will cause some of the morons who live nearby to move. Now that's change I can believe in!
Oh, in the interest of full disclosure, the owner of the AR Bunker recently target crowned a rifle for me. It now shoots sub-MOA at 200 yards. Great people, great business! Welcome to Tyrone!
Nice recap of the meeting and pretty objective about what was said! Have u considered being a reporter for The Citizen? :)
Your comments are right on the mark and I am so pleased to see someone post the voice of reason. Thank you
Looks like Tyrone will be getting the grocery money I normally spend in PTC. I hope the pizza is good 8)
Congratulations on a wise business decision and not allowing misconceptions get in the way. Education will be key for those opposed to the shop. Most recreational shooters/collectors are upstanding citizens with an income far above average.
See you soon...
Because I need to stock up on guns so I can drive my golf cart...

Last week's exit of controversial WSPD-AM 1370 talk-radio host Brian Wilson follows a yearlong pattern of dismissals, layoffs, and corporate maneuvering by Clear Channel Communications Inc. that has sent scores of people to the unemployment line.
Clear Channel, the largest radio station operator in the country, is partially owned by Bain Capital, which is the company founded and previously run by former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Debt-ridden Clear Channel, headquartered in San Antonio, has been quietly pruning its corporate structure since late 2011. On-air talent and behind-the-scenes employees have been shown the door or programming has been eliminated in markets that include Los Angeles, Boston, Tampa, San Diego, Madison, Wis., Springfield, Mo., Oklahoma City, Nashville, and, most recently, Toledo. "Obviously they are trying to pay down their monster debt with Bain Capital," said Tommy Butter, who was laid off from top-40 station WRVW-FM in Nashville in March. "Obviously, they are trying to fire their way to pay that debt down." snip Bain Capital and Thomas H. Lee Partners, two private-equity firms, finalized their $26.7 billion purchase of Clear Channel in July, 2008, loading the company with debt. According to Clear Channel's Nov. 2 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the company had $16.4 billion in debt. The company's debt must be repaid throughout the decade and comes due as soon as 2014. The 2008 sale was the catalyst for thousands of layoffs as Clear Channel restructured. snip Clear Channel has been strategically firing employees in small numbers so it doesn't appear that the company is undergoing large-scale layoffs, he said, adding that it would have looked bad for Mr. Romney if his former company fired Clear Channel's workers en masse." snip end quote. I'm sure that I speak for many on the forum when I say that our hearts go out to all the right wing noise machine radio hosts who have lost their livelihoods while enriching Bain Capital. |

yeah, karma. alot of talk radio hosts now unemployed. Those radio hosts, they sure got what they deserved, right ohiomom? |
Karma for sure. Sit behind a mike and talk about the takers. What you put out will come knocking on your door. |

From marquest's link: the movement to hold Limbaugh accountable continues to grow, and in the only recent audience analysis (of streaming audience share) to have been released, Limbaugh has been knocked out of first place, and has seen audience share decrease by nearly fifty percent. Couldn't happen to a better guy! |
the more I think of it, ohiomom...It's the exact same kind of karma that caused you to lose that previous job of yours. You deserved it. |
Clear Channel got in bed with Bain, so yes Karma. Thank you JMC |

Not really Marquest ... sometimes we type things without giving thought to our words and I am sure that there are people who got and/or will get laid off that do not sit in the same type of seat as Rush.

Still, JMC's remark was completely uncalled for. |
"News talk stations owned by Clear Channel usually have a standard slate of hosts. The morning show is usually local, with other timeslots filled by local and syndicated hosts. Programs that appear on many Clear Channel talk stations include the Glenn Beck Program - getting his talk show start at Clear Channel owned WFLA (AM) in Tampa, The Rush Limbaugh Show, The Sean Hannity Show, America Now with Andy Dean and Coast to Coast AM, all of which are affiliated with Premiere Radio Networks in some fashion. The Mark Levin Show and The Dave Ramsey Show are non-Premiere shows who air on many (if not most) Clear Channel stations, as did The Savage Nation prior to its ending in September 2012. Limbaugh is almost universally carried on Clear Channel stations in markets where the company has a news talk station ..... Savage Nation has fallen to the greed of Bain Capital. My God may punish me for my happy little schadenfreude dance. |
Still, JMC's remark was completely uncalled for. But it gave Ohiomom a opportunity to show that she was a better person, Karma ya know. David, the worm turns. It was only a matter of time. Hate wears thin it is not a daily enjoyable diet for most. Rush and his pales use to be a joke. When he and the others started to become taken serious and not the Star tabloid rag that they are it had to change. It is not America. I remember we use to turn Rush on in the office to laugh at him. It was like picking up the Star at the grocery store and front page was about the aliens had landed on earth. It was for laughter not to be taken serious. No one thought what Rush or any of these entertainment shows should be taken serious about political, financial, and health issues. |

If any of the laid-off radio hosts were on air defending the "job creators" of Bain during the Romney era, this should be a wake-up call for them. |
ohiomom - I've always found your posts to be thoughtful and respectful - not sure what jmc meant, but I do think it was in bad taste. I wish the employees of Clear channel well during this tough time. But my good wishes do not include the on air personalities, most of which spew hate in my opinion. In that case I agree with with ohiomom - what goes around comes around, or karma. |
Karma sure is a b!tch. I would love it so much if our clear channel right wingnut host would get canned. You know the one who said he'd like to drive to NYC and bomb the Times building. On our clear channel station it's right wing crap 24/7 and some very scary people call in. You have Beck all morning, then Rush for three hours, then local guy for three, and then Hannity and someone who took the complete whack job Savage's place. It's HATE radio. The topic du jour was Impeach Obama. I wish them all the worst , those who stoop so low to facilitate the spread of hate on a daily basis. . |
It's one of the first things I learned when I was little... what we do always comes backs to us, so do what's right and good. In fact, I'm still smiling from ear to ear... unrelated to politics or Bain... but I just had a huge piece of great karma fall in my lap yesterday. It pays better dividends to be good and decent. :-) As a footnote - I've always found Ohiomom to be classy. And she just showed what that word truly means. |
"It's HATE radio." snip " I wish them all the worst , those who stoop so low to facilitate the spread of hate on a daily basis. " Lily, regardless to the many times I see it in your posts on HT, the manner in which you condemn hate in others out one side of your mouth (shall we say the left) while vigorously spewing that same hate you're condemning others of out of the other side of your mouth (shall we say the right) still amazes me. If it weren't so pathetic, it would almost be humorous. |

For the ardent partisan, no hypocrisy need be acknowledged. |
jodi, I don't believe that any more. Too many bad things happen to people like you, me, Elly, Ohiomom, others, when really, we try so hard to do what is right and good. I don't think deserve I what has happened to be in the past five years on top of what I suffered in my childhood. No way did I ever deserve that! I'm not saying I'm perfect, no, not by any stretch, but nothing as bad as to have suffered what I have. I would like to think what goes around comes back, but it doesn't always. I live by the motto, one doesn't get more than they can handle. It's why strong people like we all are, survive, <>I>despite what comes. Stay strong! |
I'm still trying to learn that. I'm listening ;) |

Demi that is not how I see Karma. When I say Karma I think of it as "Everything is Karma". Bad things happen to everyone. When I say Karma it is you get what you put out. When bad happens and you have put good Karma into the universe the best comes to you through the bad. You put bad Karma into the universe when the bad comes the bad comes back to your life. That is my life experience. So everyone has Karma good and bad. I do not think there is anyone living can say they have not done something bad. I do not think anyone will leave this life without paying for that Karma they put out in the universe. It may not be today but it will come. You pay for what you say and do in life. JMO |
No way did I deserve, at very young ages, to be neglected by a single parent who was a practicing alcoholic, nor did I deserve it when she went through recovery (thank you God! So many people never have that wish granted) or that she's still sober 30+ years. I didn't deserve losing a child (fetus for some of y'all, but for me, they were human, real, and connected to me) at Christmas time 19 years ago. To add insult to that injury, instead, the placenta became the material for which a tumor, which threatened to spread throughout my body, was my prize. No way did I deserve the bank foreclosing on my home because I wouldn't sell it for the same price after the housing market crashed, bottomed out, and would never have sold for it had the market not crashed since it got flooded. I also didn't deserve a flooded car. I don't deserve my sweet and kind son who loves me unconditionally. Or to still have both of my parents living. To have caring friends and great coworkers who make life fun and productive. I worked hard in school. Made good grades, made good choices, treated my parents, teachers, and friends with kindness and respect. I was never late or absent and particpated. I went to work right out of high school and did the same at work. I worked and went to university at the same time. I pay my bills on time and live with as respectful a nature as I can within my society. Do I err? Yes, I don't give enough money to those who need it just as much as I do. I wish I could give more! I don't give my time like I should. I am sometimes grumpy. But to the level of the things I've gone through? Nope. There is no deserving. And I'm betting many more "good people" have similar stories. To say Karma is served and deserved is to judge another person. Too many stones being thrown when there is just as much sin from the ones throwing the stones. We are all just human and just living our lives. |
Rob you are still standing. You are not dead yet. I do believe the Karma does go both ways bad and good. I think what is mistaken is Karma is a punishment for bad. Karma is the end result of life itself in totality. |
In that case, I'm ready to win the lottery! |
There is no deserving. And I'm betting many more "good people" have similar stories. To say Karma is served and deserved is to judge another person. Too many stones being thrown when there is just as much sin from the ones throwing the stones. We are all just human and just living our lives. * Rob, you are so, so right. Blessings to you and I'm proud of you. I am sorry you lost your baby--I, too, suffered a miscarriage on Christmas Eve. Karma--nah. Just life. |
How about this? The American public will be better off with less hate and ignorance being spewed daily on the radio. I know in my market (Houston), it was hard to find good music without also getting a daily dose of ignorance and Obama-bashing. I had to turn the radio off -- |
I agree Rob,there is no deserving. I will be going to a funeral tonight of my cousin's wife who was the sweetest, kindest person who loved life and did so much for others. There are so many stories repeated every day, so no, karma really doesn't happen. Brat , why don't you ask me if I give a rats ass about what you think about me? I know what I feel about you. Clear Channel is one of the prime reasons the hate in this country is so strong. Years ago we didn't have the constant barrage 24/7. This radio station has nothing redeemable. ..no music, no info shows...all hate. Four years ago Hannity started his Stop Obama Express, and Rush said let's spend the next four years getting him to fail. And people like you keep it going. |
Rush said let's spend the next four years getting him to fail * Actually, I don't think that's what Rush said. I think what he said was, "I hope Obama fails." He said that because he knew what Obama's policies were, Obama had told us. They didn't fail, Obama's policies were enacted. We now have more people dependent on food stamps then when Obama was elected in 2008, we have billions more in debt, we have rampant unemployment, and we have companies going out of business and people about to lose their health care because employer sponsored health care is being discontinued for many people. That's why Rush said he hoped Obama failed. Because Obama did not fail, this is what we have. Granted, we have a few things that are better--like not denying health care because of preexisting conditions and discontinuing the limits on amounts paid for illnesses. Osama Bin Laden is dead. Of course Obama didn't do that, but it was under his watch so I'll give him credit. Hmmm. Let's see. Would that be a fair trade? I think not. |
Yes and the market crashed and people lost their homes under Bush so they had to go on food stamps. So we will give Bush credit for that and the reason President Obama was re-elected because people that can read and follow the markets know what door to place the credit. I thank God that those kids have food stamps and do not have to go hungry because of the policies and economy crash because of that Bush credit. |

Demi here is a FACT CHECK for you so you can stop repeating Fox News stupid False statements. It may make you feel good but try some truth if you want to be creditable and not the low educated, drug addict Rush and Newt the cheater. But Gingrich goes too far to say Obama has put more on the rolls than other presidents. We asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition service for month-by-month figures going back to January 2001. And they show that under President George W. Bush the number of recipients rose by nearly 14.7 million. Nothing before comes close to that. And under Obama, the increase so far has been 14.2 million. To be exact, the program has so far grown by 444,574 fewer recipients during Obama's time in office than during Bush's. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bush Food Stamp President
David, you find the best articles. Thank you! Being an Independent, my vote was not necessarily for Obama, but it surely was against Romney and the Reps. However,I found Romney to be dangerous in his views, actions and lies. According to his life and his website there would be no middle class. I'll give him credit for learning and having the backing to manipulate Wallstreet, and open/shut businesses, because that took a lot of b@lls. Everybody knows that first there must be a DEMAND, in order to fill it with a SUPPLY. You cannot just have radio stations(supply) without a demand. This is a perfect example how trickle down doesn't work. David, |
Posted by marquest z5 PA (My Page) on Tue, Nov 20, 12 at 12:45 "Demi here is a FACT CHECK for you so you can stop repeating Fox News stupid False statements" * Stop it, Marquest. I haven't repeated ANY "Fox news" "false" statements. My comments are my own. Stop saying I have done something I HAVE NOT DONE. HERE is a FACT CHECK FOR YOU: THIS is what I said: * That is a FACT Marquest. You have egg on your face going to all the trouble to "disprove" something I never said in the first place. This tells me you don't read my posts, don't care to read them and have a personal agenda to just cause trouble by lying about what I said and then post to address your own lies instead of what I posted. I would like to think that you aren't that sloppy with accuracy, but you are just apparently that foaming at the mouth to accuse any conservative of something that you don't quote people correctly and don't even bother to read and comprehend what they say and falsely accuse people of stances they don't take. Gee, where have I mentioned that before, HUH? What I said was a FACT and your little post afterwards looks stupid in light of the fact that what I said IS TRUE. |

If you search "food stamp president" in Google, you'll find a wealth of echoes within the right-wing noise machine, plus a few fact-checkers proving Gingrich's claim is wrong. |
Thank you for your "baby" comment demi ((hugs to you)) |
Demi read the link. You are wrong. It has been repeated so much that people believe it to be true. Read the links. Do a search for yourself. Look at the non-political statistics. But bottom line for me if one woman/man/child does not go hungry I do not care who gets Food Stamps, or which President had the highest number of feeding the poor. It is food for goodness sake. I am not going to make myself feel good because I begrudge someone for having food on their table. There has to be a limit of what I have to rage about and someone getting food is to low. |
Goodness is its' own reward, whether or not the reverse is true. Hey, shouldn't we be thanking Bain Capital for the demise of all that rabble rousing nonsense? How do we KEEP those nuts off the air? |
Marquest, there you go again. You are making arrogant assumptions about where my information comes from and you are DEAD WRONG. Try looking up the information from the Department of Agriculture and you will see that more people have received food stamps this past year than the year Obama took office. * I don't know of anyone that would deprive anyone of a meal if they were hungry. But with government programs subsidizing, underwriting, or promulgating that people get free or reduced cost housing, free medical care, free innoculations, free transportation, I worked food stamp fraud cases with an agent from Temple, Texas, and I KNOW what kind of fraud goes on. Additionally, I've seen how food stamps are abused. My point was and is--that so many people are DEPENDENT on food stamps--more than when Obama took office. |
"I worked food stamp fraud cases with an agent from Temple, Texas, and I KNOW what kind of fraud goes on" With all due respect that was quite a long time ago. I'm not sure you can use the present tense. Perhaps it would be better to say "I knew what went on back then...." |
Hey Marquest, who is "they?" Been taking lessons from someone? |
I agree with Rob also. Karma is a real nice idea tho. Probably works to keep certain types in line who otherwise might not behave. Let's see now. What other business do we want Bain to get hold of? |

I'm not sure you can use the present tense. Perhaps it would be better to say "I knew what went on back then...." * With all due respect, I still keep up with these things.

you're too kind! I still don't deserve the kindness. But I fully appreciate it! Life is full of disappointments. Friends make it all right. |
Rob, I don't buy into the idea of Karma as Jodi sees it either - it requires too much 'magical thinking' to me. However, everyone embraces certain basic ideas and attitudes in life and that is good, it is what makes each of us survive life. She embraces the idea of karma, everyone else embraces different sorts of ideas of how things work in life, including a deep and abiding faith in a God. Everyone tries to find something that will bring them comfort and strength and I say go for it. Whatever works - as long as it does not negatively affect another person or intrude in or upon another's life, go with what will bring you comfort and survivability. However, I do believe that a sort of basic "karma", if you will, can often thread through relationships throughout one's life. The idea that "the love you make is the love you take" seems to be true, very generally speaking. People who displayed loving care, interest and concern for the people around them in their lives seem to have fuller, more generous and more loving people around them that those people who are more demanding or difficult, rigid and judgemental within loving relationships or loving friendships. This is just an observation I've made in my life, certainly not fact. Some people, through no fault of their own, have trauma filled lives. They may end up not having friendships or loving relationships worthy of them - They migjt have a lousy start and all their lives struggle to maintain some sort of quiet dignity in their lives even though outside forces might work against them always. Life can be difficult but you know, we all have that in common with everyone else around us. We all struggle, in different ways and various degrees throughout our lifetimes but, we all suffer and struggle to maintain. From what you present here Robb, I feel you choose very well. |
"It's not right and it's not fair but it simply is." I think that's person who makes me question karma. They really don't deserve that bad stuff that just happens for no good reason. We can try and be positive regardless, but there are some people I see and I just think, why? What did they ever do? Like Matt. Diagnosed at 5 with leukemia. Bad parents. Why so young has he suffered so much? It's not so much the good deserving, is my point. It's those sh-t happens times that I cannot buy into karma. Yes, we all believe in different ideas, not wrong or right, they just are. I simply didn't care for the deserving part of it. Thank goodness we don't get what we deserve in this life. Happy thanksgiving to you and yours too (and everyone else too!)! |

Trained as a sculptor, David Yurman approaches the design of a piece of jewelry from every angle. "It's about the whole piece," he says. "How it feels in your hand, how it looks on the back as well as the front." He combines shape and form to create designs with volume and dimension—wearable sculpture. "Form is form," he explains, "whether it hangs on a wall, goes on a pedestal, goes on a wrist, or goes on a neck. Learning how to balance a little sculpture on a stand is really no different from learning how to balance a stone on the end of a bracelet."
The transformation of simple chains into works of striking jewelry speaks to the artful eye and skillful hand of David Yurman. A simple box chain is finessed into a sensual strand of soft corners and edges. In the wheat chain, metal is carefully woven to replicate a round shaft of wheat. Whether worn alone, paired with a pendant, or layered, a David Yurman chain, like each of his designs, is a unique piece of sculpted jewelry.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The furcula ("little fork" in Latin) or wishbone is a forked bone found in birds and some other animals, and is formed by the fusion of the two clavicles. In birds, its primary function is in the strengthening of the thoracic skeleton to withstand the rigors of flight.
The furcula works as a strut between a bird's shoulders, and articulates to each of the bird's scapulae. In conjunction with the coracoid and the scapula, it forms a unique structure called the triosseal canal, which houses a strong tendon that connects the supracoracoideus muscles to the humerus. This system is responsible for lifting the wings during the recovery stroke.[1]
As the thorax is compressed by the flight muscles during up- and downstroke, the upper ends of the furcula spread apart, expanding by as much as 50% of its resting width, and then contracts.[1] X-ray films of starlings in flight have shown that in addition to strengthening the thorax, the furcula acts like a spring in the pectoral girdle during flight. It expands when the wings are pulled downward and snaps back as they are raised. Acting like a spring, the furcula is able to store some of the energy generated by contraction in the breast muscles, expanding the shoulders laterally, and then releasing the energy during upstroke as the furcula snaps back to the normal position. This, in turn, draws the shoulders toward the midline of the body.[2] While the starling has a moderately large and strong forcula for a bird of its size, there are many species where the furcula is completely absent, for instance Australian scrubbirds and bush birds, some toucans and South American barbets, some owls, some parrots, turacos from Africa and mesites of Madagascar. These birds are still fully capable of flying. They also have close relatives where the furcula is vestigal, reduced to a thin strap of ossified ligament, seemingly purposeless. Other species have evolved the furcula in the opposite direction, where it has increased in size and become too stiff or massive to act as a spring. In strong flyers like cranes and falcones, the arms of the furcula are large, hollow and quite rigid.[3]
In birds, the furcula also may aid in respiration by helping to pump air through the air sacs.[1]
Several groups of theropod dinosaurs have also been found with furculae, including dromaeosaurids (including a new North American species of Velociraptor), oviraptorids,[4] tyrannosaurids,[5] troodontids, coelophysids[6] and allosauroids.[4]
Seeing the occurrence in diplodocid dinosaurs of interclavicles, Tschopp and Mateus (2013) [7] proposed that furcula is a transformed and divided interclavicle, rather than a fused clavicle.
In 15th century Europe, it was thought that the wishbone could be used to predict the weather.[8] Nowadays, once removed from the turkey or chicken, the wishbone is dried and then held between the little fingers of two opposing "wishers". Once the wish has been made the bone is pulled by each person. The wisher who breaks off a larger section of bone is assumed to have their wish granted. Alternatively, the winner of this contest may choose to transfer the fragment of the wishbone, along with the wish, to a person of his or her choosing.

Paris, France December 18th 2013 - Volfoni, the worldwide 3D technology provider is proud to announce the successful test of its new 3D polarizer, the SmartCrystalTM Diamond, by Harkness ScreensTM.
Backed by a worldwide presence and nearly a decade of manufacturing stereoscopic 3D equipment, Volfoni has invested heavily in R&D to turn customer feedback into a truly innovative 3D solution. With the SmartCrystalTM Diamond, Volfoni carries on its tradition of providing highest customer satisfaction. Tested at Harkness' screen laboratory facility in France, Harkness certified the overall light efficiency of the new Volfoni SmartCrystalTM Diamond system at 28%.
"We're constantly asked to give an informed opinion on the capabilities of the latest cinema technologies and how these affect cinema presentation. Being able to independently test the SmartCrystalTM Diamond system on behalf of Volfoni enables us to better understand this brand new technology and provide our customers and indeed the industry as a whole with insight into its capabilities," says Matt Jahans, European Technical Services Manager for Harkness Screens.
"It is easy as a manufacturer to quote a theoretical technical capability to the industry. Having a respected voice like Harkness independently verify our SmartCrystalTM Diamond 3D system adds an extra level of credibility to our technology. Following by the world first demonstration at Cineasia 2013, in Hong Kong we can give to the market the first Ultra-Hi LEF polarizer, the SmartCrystalTM Diamond" says Alain Chamaillard, EMEA Managing Director of Volfoni.
The verification test was carried out in a controlled environment by projecting white light on to a 10m (39ft) Clarus 170 3D screen surface. Initial light measurements were taken in 2D with no 3D equipment (3D unit or glasses) between the projected light path and a light meter. These were then compared to light readings taken from the same position in the screen laboratory with both the SmartCrystalTM Diamond unit and eyewear between the projected light path and light meter.
"We believe that in SmartCrystalTM Diamond 3D and Clarus technology from Harkness exhibitors around the world can now benefit from the brightest, most immersive and captivating 3D experience for their customers at an affordable price." Chamaillard concludes.
Harkness has added the new SmartCrystalTM Diamond 3D system to its Digital Screen Modeller tool which will be available to download from the Apple App Store for iPad and Google Play store for Android during mid/late December 2013.

TTP Bloods Gang Leader Sentenced to 30 Years in Federal Prison for Racketeering Conspiracy
U.S. Attorney Thanks Maryland Department of Public Safety & Correctional Services
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge William D. Quarles, Jr. sentenced Kevin Gary, age 27, of Baltimore, today to 30 years in prison followed by five years of supervised release for conducting and participating in the activities of a racketeering enterprise known as the Tree Top Piru Bloods (TTP Bloods), announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and Baltimore City State's Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy. This case is the result of a long-term joint investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office and the United States Attorney's Office.
U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein said, "The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services is a critical partner in our efforts to investigate gang members who continue their criminal activities while in jail. I want to thank Secretary Gary Maynard and his staff for their assistance in this case and other ongoing investigations. This continuing partnership will reduce crime both in our jails and on our streets."
"Mr. Gary will no longer be able to inflict his own particular brand of intimidation and fear on the citizens of Baltimore," says ATF Special Agent in Charge Theresa R. Stoop, "and he will now have decades to think about the consequences of his actions."
According to Gary's plea agreement, TTP Bloods originated from a street gang known as "the Bloods" that was formed in Los Angeles, California in the early 1970s. As time passed, the Bloods spread to other locations and broke into individual "sets." One such Bloods set based in Compton, California was called Piru Bloods. From this set emerged a subset known as Tree Top Pirus (TTP). The name derived from a group of streets in Compton named after trees.
TTP spread throughout the country, including Maryland. TTP in Maryland has its roots in a local gang which began in the Washington County Detention Center in Hagerstown, Maryland in about 1999. The gang was formed for mutual protection in response to the aggression of other inmates from Baltimore. TTP spread throughout Maryland mostly as a result of recruitment from inside Maryland prisons. Over time, a group of female gang members formed a subset of TTP known as the Tree Top Pirettes.
As part of the conspiracy gang members of TTP would meet regularly to discuss past acts of violence and other crimes committed by gang members against rival gang members and others; to notify one another about gang members who were arrested or incarcerated; to discuss the disciplining of TTP gang members; to discuss police interactions with gang members; to share with one another the identities of individuals who may be cooperating with law enforcement and propose actions to be taken against those individuals; to plan and agree upon the commission of future crimes, including murders, robberies, drug trafficking, and assaults, and the means to cover up these crimes; and to reinforce gang rules. TTP gang members and associates of TTP purchased, maintained and circulated a collection of firearms for use in criminal activity by TTP members. In addition, TTP gang members and associates of TTP committed acts of murder, and other acts of violence against rival gang members and imposed discipline within TTP itself, and committed violent acts on other occasions as deemed necessary.
From at least 2005 through February 2008, Gary was a member and leader of the TTP Bloods, and as part of the racketeering conspiracy, was responsible for trafficking 50 grams or more of crack cocaine and one kilogram or more of heroin, as well as 3,4-methylenedioxymeth-amphetamine (MDMA), commonly known as Ecstasy.
In addition, Gary committed and sanctioned acts of violence on behalf of the gang. Specifically, on September 15, 2005, Gary and other TTP members participated in the beating and murder of Terrance Williams in a gang-related dispute. In recorded telephone conversations in 2006 and 2007, Gary is heard telling a gang member that he would obtain a gun for them and ordering that other gang members be beaten as punishment for violating gang rules. In February 2008, in a series of recorded telephone calls, Gary contacted incarcerated TTP members and sought to have one of them murder an inmate with the Maryland Department of Corrections, who Gary believed killed his brother.
Finally, Gary obstructed justice. While in jail awaiting trial in state court for the murder of Terrance Williams, Gary wrote a letter on November 20, 2006 to a TTP co-defendant, directing her to take steps to prevent the eyewitnesses, who were females, from testifying against him and another TTP member at the state trial. Additionally, on December 19, 2007, in a recorded telephone call with a TTP member, Gary identified an individual he believed was cooperating with law enforcement officials in a 2006 murder case against two TTP gang members.
Twenty-four additional gang members have been charged in the racketeering conspiracy. Steve Willock, age 29, Van Sneed, age 32, both of Baltimore, Maryland, Shaneka Penix, age 23, of Dundalk, Maryland and Orlando Gilyard, age 22, of Woodlawn, Maryland, pleaded guilty to the RICO conspiracy. Willock was sentenced to 25 years in prison, Gilyard was sentenced to 115 months in prison and Penix to 10 years in prison. Sherry Brockington, age 24 and Tracey Whiting, age 24, both of Baltimore pleaded guilty to the RICO count and are awaiting sentencing. Antonio Smith, age 26, of Baltimore, pleaded guilty to three counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm and is awaiting sentencing The remaining defendants' charges are pending.
Mr. Rosenstein and Ms. Jessamy gave special thanks to Secretary Gary Maynard of the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services and the officers at the Western and North Branch Correctional Institutions for their work in the investigation and prosecution of this case.
United States Attorney Rosenstein and Baltimore City State's Attorney Jessamy praised the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Baltimore City Police Department, Baltimore County Police Department, Wicomico County State's Attorney Office, Wicomico County Sheriff's Office, Washington County Narcotics Task Force, Anne Arundel County Police Department, and the Hagerstown Police Department for their investigation of this Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case.
Mr. Rosenstein and Mrs. Jessamy also thanked Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Weinstein, and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Mason, a cross-designated Baltimore City Assistant State's Attorney, who are prosecuting the case and Assistant State's Attorney LaRai Forrest who assisted in the prosecution.

Michelle - it will be fantastic to finally meet you in person.
I'm so thrilled we got the FE distribution list this week. I already had an idea of what we were going to do, but now I know how many cabins we have and I can start working on everything. I'm on list #3 if anyone wants to meet virtually before we hit the ship.
I've been scouring the house looking for my latest version of Cruise Passporter - I know I bought it, but of course now that I need to do some reading, I can't find the dang thing! Luckily I have the electronic version, but DANG I like being able to read away from the computer.

Our Objective for the Strategic Realignment Program is for WIPO to be a responsive, efficient organization, equipped to provide global leadership on IP issues and to achieve its Strategic Goals.
In seeking to accomplish its mission of promoting innovation and creativity through a balanced and effective international intellectual property system, WIPO operates in a highly dynamic and changing environment.
The challenges we face include addressing the stress on patent and copyright systems as a result of rapid technological change, globalization and increased demand, reducing the knowledge gap between developed and developing countries, and ensuring that the IP system continues to serve effectively its fundamental purpose of encouraging creativity and innovation in all countries. The Strategic Realignment Program (SRP) was launched in order to equip the Organization to address the challenges.
The SRP is an ambitious program with 19 inter-related initiatives. It aims to bring new focus to the Organization's culture and values, greater efficiency in our business processes and better alignment of our programs, structure and resources to our nine Strategic Goals.
Our Core Values
The 19 SRP initiatives each contribute to strengthening our four Core Values :
- Service orientation – we increase our responsiveness to global stakeholders and our customers are satisfied with our services;
- Working as one – we work as an integrated, responsive and efficient entity that is fit for purpose and delivers value for money;
- Accountability for results – we take ownership for our performance and achieve results;
- Environmental, social and governance responsibility – we perform in an ethical manner and care about our staff, community and the environment.
Measuring Success
An annual Core Values Staff survey, in conjunction with the SRP results framework, will measure progress towards WIPO's four Core Values. The following list of indicators form the SRP results framework:
- WIPO SRP Roadmap
- Medium Term Strategic Plan
- SRP Progress Reports
- Latest Audit Committee report
- SRP Results Framework
- WIPO ICT Strategy

When It Hurts So Bad
What do you do when reality hits u in your face and you come face to face with the one you love and always have loved. But things have changed and what you always wanted to be can never be. When you want to be with him so bad but you feel as though you're being selfish cause you could never give him all that he want and needs.
Pain Is Pleasure
Pain is pleasure. Went and got my nipples pierced the other night and I thought I was gone nut on myself during the process. I know they say pain is pleasure and I do like a lil pain sometimes when I'm fucking. Ass smacking, hair pulling, biting, and some chocking but anyway. So dude took me to get my nipples pierced the other night. He didn't think I would go through with it though. Anyway so we get there I go to the back and take my shirt off and dudes is drawing the lines on me to make the piercing and dude whispers in my ear one of your nipples is bigger than the other. I said no it's not that one is more excited than the other. LOL. He was like oh damn. I was getting excited by this shit. I wont surprised though cause this is something I had wanted for a while. Anyway so I lay down on the table and he ask me am I ready I said yea. So he like take a deep breath and then he stick me in my titty. Now the first one was coo I aint feel it. but when he got to the second one I felt that one. I aint jump or nothing. I just damn I felt that one. The guy was like I wish everybody was good as you. I just handle pain better I guess. But anyway all I know is once he was done my pussy was wett as fuck. I could't wait to get home and fuck.
Thank You
Just a lil preview of the thank you I gave my friend for getting my nipples pierced.
Nipple Rings
The Starter
Looks like I'm getting back to my old self again where one fuck is just not enough. Had an old friend come through a while ago an I got a good nut but it just wont enough. Now this is a guy I've known for a while but hadn't seen to much over the past few years cause I was always on the move. Bu anyway he has a nice sick dick but until tonight we had never fucked before. He never got past the head. So tonight he came through and he was like we gone fuck tonight so that means you can't give me no head. I was upset at first cause giving head turns me on. Gets my pussy wett. But anyway the fuckin started off slow cause I didn't get to give him no head for so my pussy wont wett. But after a few good strokes I was good to go. Pussy got wett and he pushed m legs back and fucked the shit out of me. He got deep in that pussy and was hitting the right spot next thing I know I was squirting all over that dick and that shit turned him on and he fucked me harder until he came for this pussy. I enjoyed that nut. All I could say thank you. LOL. I was made we hadn't been fucking. We gone have to do that shit again and I'm a need to film it. Even though it was a good nut it still wont enough. Now I need some more. So online I go in search of another fuck or the night. I'm out.
If I can make a fist with your dick still in my hand then your dick is to damn small for me. If I can jerk you off and don't have to use my whole hand than your dick is to damn small for me. If your dick is on the hard and it doesn't stick out past your belly then your dick is to damn small for me.I can go on and on but I wont. I'm a big girl so your lil dick is not gone do nothing for me really. Don't be mad I'll still give you some pussy though cause your money still green. But when its over and you ask me was it good and I say no don't get mad. I mean hell you got yours. Had a dude come over the other night made me mad when he pulled his dick out. He was talking all this shit and his dick was lil as hell. Gave this fool some head right. Had his whole dick in my mouth and the shit ain't reach the back of my throat. I mean what the fuck am I supposed to do with that.I can't get no nut off that shit.

I'd love to hear about your experiences growing this tree because, sadly, I did a bad thing. I purchased a 'Wolf Eyes' because I fell in love at first sight. The tag said... slow growing to 6 feet.... Hmmm, I thought... what a nice foundation specimen!
So I bought it, planted it, and then I did my research. (I know... I know ... sounds like a novice gardener but, no, I've been doing this for 40 years.) I've read such conflicting reports on its eventual size, ranging from 8ft to 15ft in height and spread. Does anyone have experience growing this tree? I'd really appreciate an eyewitness account on the growth habit of 'Wolf Eyes' before I move it this fall. Thanks,

Your tree isn't likely to stay at 6 ft or smaller. I've seen them for sell at nurseries at larger than 6 ft. However, you can probably keep this smaller by pruning. This isn't a large cultivar of dogwood. |
Mine is roughly 10Hx8W from 5Hx3W after 5-6 years in a ground and some spring clipping in order to reduce the width. |
Thank you both for the diagnosis... looks like we'll be moving our tree. I can't believe that after all these years of gardening, I'd let a plant tag snooker me. Molie |
