really helpfull freindly staff, I thought the bar area could have been a little more like a bar,it felt very cafe like.
Medium sized, intimate, friendly hotel with helpful staff. it was immaculately clean as were the fixtures and fittings, also the bar and restaurant areas, food was excellent also
Hotel room was very modern and all in all was a great stay over. Bar opening Hours - surely residents should be allowed to drink at the bar past 10pm?
locality to pricey. carpark bill, plus breakfast to be paid for.was going to stay here in Nov but booked another hotel.would only stay here if on offers as before
The hotel was clean and modern, easy to find and situated just off teh main road from Shrewsbury to Chester, ideal for teh local area and facilities but also a handy base if exploring the north wales mountains. Reception was polite, courteous and helpful. we were upgraded to a higher spec room at no additional cost. very enjoyable stay.
Good size room with friendly,helpfull staff. Easy to find location with excellent links to motorways
friendly staff, excellent food ,clean and comfortable rooms
lovely modern spacious room
staff made my stay very agreable and pleasant.
The hotel was excellent, the rooms were superb, the bar/reception areas were airy and bright really nice. The staff couldn't have been more helpful particularly the receptionist Donna.
I was upgraded to the Presidential Suite which is normally £1400 per night. Amazing hotel!!!!
We were celebrating our Silver Wedding - this was a last minute deal and we managed to secure a room for about 50% less of normal rate - on arrival the staff were attentive and after we told them about our Silver Wedding a small complimentary cake was left in the room. We had an automatic upgrade to i think a Classic Deluxe room, which was amazing. This is truly a 5 * hotel, and although only for one night - it lives up to everything described on their website - Amazing... The only thing i would say - is we were not told very much about the SPA facilities, it was a case of find out for yourself - but as we were only in the hotel for one night it wasnt really an issue.
It was beautiful, clean and luxurious. The staff were very friendly & helpful. An added touch that they would park the car for you - made a big difference on a busy saturday. The food in the Simon Radley restaurant was lovely and the staff were great. We had a fab time.
Excellent customer care in every way. Always ready to help but not intrusive. Nothing
We were a little disappointed with our room - we stayed in the classic suite and have stayed in many 4 star hotels which have far nicer rooms.
Great customer service and attitude of staff Prob with hot water making tea lukewarm!
The situation is ideal A little disappointed with 'The Brasserie'
The breakfast was superb. Both food and service were exceptional. The room was dark. The weather was bad and therefore the light outside was poor, but I was unable to find a position where I could sit and read comfortably. There was not a light which I could sit under.
Polite and helpful staff, beautiful room, excellent food and facilities. Everything you should be entitled to expect from a 5star hotel.
The bed was awesome All good
The bar was nice and had a good atmosphere, and plenty of different beers to choose from. Very comfortable, and nice pool etc for relaxing. We stayed on a Friday night so the restaurant was closed which limited the eating options. We didn't want to have a dinner/dance, I get ill on boats, the pizza place was only for snacks and the bar was full, so we ended up having to eat in town.
The Staff were very obliging and the restaurant service was excelent Lack of lounge facilities. During our pre-dinner drinks, We were asked to leave the residents lounge early Saturday evening due to it being reserved for the boat party. The other small lounge near reception was very crowded as was the bar area/football lounge
fantastic restaurant and entertainment bedrooms a little dated but still an enjoyable stay
Excellent position for access to the city centre. Super leisure facilities.Excellent staff very friendly. Nice meals. Surprised that it is only 3 star deserves more. We were upgraded to a higher level room on arrival. Nothing
Very close to the city centre and all shops and amenities. Hotel pool and spa was extremely relaxing. Hotel very clean and was really pleased with the free upgrade for our wedding anniversary. Would definitely stay again.
Located close to the city centre, friendly staff and nice pool. The breakfast was also quite good, and the room was spacious and comfortable. We had a room on the side of the hotel facing the dual carriageway and it was quite noisy.
i didnt like the fact that there was no air conditioning. the heat was overpowering and the rooms were too hot and stuffy to be comfortable
thought there may have been a bigger selection of hot food on breakfast buffet
the temperature in the spa/swimming pool was too cold.
The canal cruise, the spa. Noise from traffic, no air conditioning
the room was very noisey
nothing. did not like my stay at the hotel at all,to start with no room left in parking,the shower in our room was not good,the bar staff where not very nice and very expensive for what it is .will not be returning.
location of hotel breakfast on saturday was poor - not enough food,poor service. had to sort ourselves out and after requesting items still did not gwet them. have filled in complaint to hotel as above
the way 2 staff chatted with a guest whilst others were waiting to be served. came accross as quite rude
Comfort of room.
to pay for carparking in there carpark when you have paid them over £300 to stay for to nights
Quality much like all in chain but staff very friendly and efficient, keen to please Nothing
Parking arrangements.
There was an air of unobtrusive efficiency Many of the breakfast plates were dirty!
The hotel was kept to a very high standard and we were pleased with every aspect of it
Good breakfast and fresh fruit bowl every day
Comfortable & clean, excellent location
the friendliness of the staff, the excellent service and fantastic food
carpets in the hallway desperately need renewing
a good cellar and knowledge of wines a very good menu and table service no
We received a very warm welcome at the Lemon Tree, the staff were super, our room was very comfortable and the food was excellent.
The food was excellent and it was a nice touch to have fruit in the room as well as biscuits. The mattress in room 3 was absolutely dreadful - we could feel every spring and it compressed right down when we sat on it. The room was right by a main road, just off a roundabout. This meant that with the lack of double glazing we could hear every vehicle changing gear and accelerating right outside our window. I can honestly say we had the worst night's sleep we've ever had. We couldn't wait to get home and have a nap. The light coloured carpet was heavily stained. There was wif-fi 'throughout the hotel' but on check-in I was told it might not be available in the bedroom, and it wasn't. I tried again in the dining area - no connection and once again in the small lounge just inside the front door - and again no signal.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Everyone made me feel very welcome and the hotel has a very friendly atmosphere. The restaurant is of a high standard and the food extremely good quality and well priced. Perhaps the best beef fillet I have ever eaten! The room I had, although very comfortable for one, was one the small side and perhaps would be too small for two people.
the staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. just one thing, i was in the room above the front entrance and the noise at night was very loud with traffic, i would maybe suggest double glazing.
Friendly staff, excellent food and comfortable room. Nice atmosphere and pleasant surroundings. Thoughtful to place fresh fruit in room. Shower unit in my room was not good for a tall person! Diificult to adjust.
The location was perfect for the purpose of my visit. The room was rather shabby, grubby paintwork, mouldy grout in the bathroom. The staff were not welcoming or friendly, just did their job and nothing more.
Comfortabe room. Value for money. Quiet
the room was very nice restaurant very very good
A pleasant modern hotel in an excellent location. Room lighting level poor. Cleaning of room not upto standard.
Convenient location to Wrexham and Chester Food was adequate but with a little more effort could have been better
Comfortable room with good bathroom. Very helpful staff - happily changed our room immediately when there was a problem with a noisy bathroom fan. Lovely garden surroundings. Free WiFi. Quiet. Very good dinner in Oscar's Restaurant
We liked the comfort and cleanliness of our room. It was really warm and welcoming. It was a far nicer room than that of our friends in the older part of the building. (Room 44) The staff were excellent in reception, the bar and the restaurant and the breakfast was superb. Nothing to dislike.
The large room with the large comfortable bed and the food which was very good.
The restaurant food was good. The cleanliness of the room was a disgrace. The view from our room was a building site. There was dust/dirt everywhere, curtains hanging off the rail, carpets threadbear. We actually looked at 3 rooms. Stayed 1 night instead of 2.
The evening meals taken (3) were very good ,excellent menu. All the staff ,bar one ,were friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable if a little hot. We stayed 3 nights and our first experience of breakfast was not good, however the next 2 were very good.Hairdyer in the en-suite bathroom was a joke,perhaps more modern dryers could be available upon request.It would be good if the duvets could be chosen for the room temperature as the room was very warm and a light weight duvet would have been preferable to having to open the window.
The staff where very helpful and a credit to the hotel and its management The Room we stayed in was good, however the view from the windows was a brick wall, perhaps the hotel should invest in hanging baskets or something. If we stayed in this hotel again I would definately make sure that we didnt stop in room 10.
The room layout was good for families. Breakfast included was great. Help from the assistant at the front desk was useful and professional.
helpful staff/value for money
The room was excellent, we stayed in a deluxe room. The breakfast and evening meal was delicious.We stayed here as it was a great base for xmas shopping at Chester and Shrewsbury.
Friendly and helpful staff at reception
The hotel is extremely welcoming, with easy access from the main road. On entering the hotel the decor is very pleasent and clean, and the rooms nice and warm - very necessary with the snow outside during our visit. Use of the leisure facilities at Lion Quays was a real bonus.
The hotel was comfortable and good value for money. TV signal intermittent. Could not watch TV for most of the evening.
Deluxe rooms were great! Breakfast good. Very easy to find
Welcome was strange (to say the least) - "I wouldn't have let the room go for this price" said the man on reception - very welcoming! After that things improved. Nice large room good sized bed (though very soft for me) and a nice bathroom. Quiet location and very good breakfast for £5 each, The rather strange welcome. The very soft bed.
Swimming pool at sister hotel and brewkfast
Quiet A facility to install a child safety gate on the mezzanine stairs would have been really helpful
The location of the hotel handy for the train and a free bus to the centre was excellent. Breakfast was one of the best I've had. Hotel staff very friendly Our room was at the front of the hotel, this was very noisy thoughout the night and early hours due to taxi rank outside and parties leaving hotel
good staff nice big hotel
Good breakfast The cleaner left the rubbish bag on the chair after cleaning. Unable to get the WiFi working on my laptop
The welcoming staff and the warm friendly atmosphere. The room was clean and the food was very good Being charged £10 per day for car parking
The Staff were generally very helpful. The decor is certainly querky but if anything too dark and depressing. It detracts from what could be a nice hotel.
breakfasts were excellent wide choice of dishes staff very helpfull romm was very clean
Beautiful hotel, lovely room, fantastic breakfast. Close to shops, great choice of bars and restaurants near by. Really enjoyed our stay. Downside's, Bath in our room was too short, could not lie down in it. The room although beautiful, felt a little cramped, to much furniture me thinks!
Loved the cocktails!! Excellent bar staff. Good morning breakfast set us up nicely for a day's shopping Throughly enjoyed our whole stay
convenience for city centre and out of town journey The migraine-inducing carpet, especially on the stairs! Why do hotels DO this?
Convenient location, car parking available, good breakfast and generally good value. The hotel is old and "tired" and shows its age. But it was clean. Bathroom facilities could do with updating as could bedroom decor..
Very helpful staff, lovely atmosphere, good food, good sports facilities.
The most Friendly service
-Very quiet place, although there were weddings - close to Chester - nice rooms the music in the dinig room, always the same or nothing, not professional
Breakfast was great .How nice to have a freshly cooked breakfast though new crockery urgently needed Stained cracked crockery every morning for breakfast,Leaking radiator,(reported but not mended in the three days we stayed) very dirty window ledges, carpet edes and doors hand/finger smudges on doors which did wipe away with a little effort, therefore one felt that the cleaning was below standard and not observed by management.
It has a great location, very fine restautant. In fact we wish we had more time to enjoy the hotel and its facilities.
oasis of calm,spacious comfortable room, spacious bathroom, most friendly and helpful staff.
The hotelitself was lovely, well decorated adn luxuirous, the spa area was fantastic. We ate in the restaurant and the the service and food were both fab!
Quality hotel ,, great service from all the staff ...
Staff were all friendly, ambience was excellent, beautiful peaceful grounds and hotel. The room windows must have been open for about a week, I spent the first hour of checking in killing all the mosquito's and flies in the room.
The extremely attentive staff who made this hotel such a world apart from so called "posh hotels". Beautiful situation, close to Chester and yet in the middle of nowhere.One of my better choices. The other reviews have an element of truth regarding the requirement for updating the decor.
the friendly staff and the comfortable room also the excellent menu plus my single was actually a double but the charge was the same
the staff the cold water tap in the bathroom didnt work!
The evening meal with live music was the highlight.
closeness of all rooms to parking cosiness of rooms would have been better if there had been some more reasonably priced plainer food than what was on offer
Sound Proofing (?) of the room. No trakiffic noise
Convenient location. Easygoing, friendly staff. Bathroom facilities good except that they looked nothing like the stylish photos on the website and the waste in the basin did not pop up to allow the water out.
The hotel was bright and modern and the rooms were comfortable. Breakfast was good, plenty of variety, it was altogether a good experience.
Everything. Excellent breakfast and good value. No adequate ventilation in bathroom - light on dresser not working. This was reported to reception
The hotel staff went that extra mile to ensure our stay was enjoyable. We travelled with our young 2 year old son, and our breakfast table was set up in the morning with a highchair ready for our use. The beds were very comfortable, the decor in the bar and restaurant was excellent, lovely garden too. Would definitely recommend for families, business, romance.
This is the second time I have stayed here and would stay again with no problems. Friendly staff, good food, easy to find, nice big safe car park too. I will stay there again. Didn't really want to get up in the morning but apart from that there is nothing I can say bad about my stay.
Every Premier Inn is the same. You know what you are getting. Booked twin room on line. Got a double room .Booked dinner in the restraunt when we arrived but it was not passed to the restraunt.Both of these were not big problems for us but other people maybe!!
Helpful staff location of hotel and the surrounding areas.
Staff were courteous and helpful Bit dingy, bath had mould on sealant and net curtaining was grubby and room smelt a bit "stale"
Location,spacious rooms,good value restaurant,helpfull staff. No room phones.
The spaciousness of the bedroom and the helpfulness of the staff. Not enough teabags and milk.
Clean and quiet at night Tiles in bathroom soiled at bottom
The welcome we received, and the standard of the hotel.
In a nice countryside setting, quiet and peaceful Food not great at the Table Table next door, with the exception of breakfast which was lovely. WIFI too expensive
Within easy reach of town centre and family residences.The family room was quite spacious. The staff were very professional The mattresess in our room were all hard. Breakfast served between 7- 9am. We found it too early as the booking out time was 12noon.
The receptionist was excellent, looked after us very well and very friendly. The room was perfect and the breakfast was delicious!
close to city with comfortable rooms excellent parking and a fantastic michael caine restaurant . staff very polite and helpful
Excellent location - 2 minute walk to the city centre. Room was amazing value for money - standard room would have been the equivalent to a luxury room in many hotels. Breakfast was delivered to our room free of charge. Will definitely stay there again.
Central location, new and modern Poor breakfast, pricey and limited parking
Comfortables beds Reception area too dark
Modern Friendly staff, the decor in exec room superb, minimalist and cool, next time will eat there, but a good hotel
The room we stayed in was very nice, very big and modern styling. The staff were very helpful and there was always somebody on reception if you needed them. The car park is alittle bit tight to drive around and the pillows were hard but there only little things to worry about.
Excellent room.Breakfast very good Trying to get in was difficult as was parking
Very good location for shopping and to visit Michael Caines Restaurant Our original room was noisy, however the hotel were very good about changing room. The Michael Caines restaurant was cold and noisy from the Champagne bar next door. The food was excellent
The locality and the car parking facility. None
Comfortable, clean rooms for a few hours sleep. Basic but exactly what would be required of a crash-pad. Only food available is breakfast. If you're hungry at any other time you only have a vending machine.
Excellent location to celebrate my friends 40th birthday Some contents were stolen from the boot of my car whilst in the car park
Parking facilities and location to town center
Good value for money and very close to the town centre, ideal and convenient for Christmas shopping. The cook food for breakfast was very limited, just scrambled egg and sausages.
Willingness of staff to do extras - order taxis, keep suitcases etc
The welcome on arrival at reception. The quality of the Wi-Fi Broadband in the rooms and lobby. The no-nonsense breakfast fare. Lining up for the various breakfast items was a bit unorganised and free-for-all.
The location was ideal for shopping, short walk to the centre although quite steep if anyone is infirm the inconsideration of other hotel guests who have been out for the night and come back in the middle of the night along corridors being very loud and banging doors, perhaps a notice on all lifts and landing doors saying quiete please think of other guests !!!
Convenient to town centre Bed Mattress needs changing Hollow in middle.!!!!!!!!!!!
clean rooms,helpful staff,free parking. breakfast a bit of a free for all.
pleasant and friendly staff,clean and cosy room with amazing views
Very friendly staff and good food. Lovely location. The room we were initially shown to had not been cleaned or made up. However, we were immediately upgraded to an executive room as recompense, so no real complaint there.
We enjoyed the food and the rooms and thecountryarea, we weren't too impressed with the narrow roads for our big rental car. All told we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay
The rooms were lovely; really well decorated and very clean The complimentary breakfast was not very generous
Friendliness, excellent food and superb surroundings.
Only issue was the the internet was down for the first 2 days. We booked here specifically for this as we work while travelling and this was a problem for us.
The staff, the setting, the meals were all excellent. Nice to have my dog able to join us in the hotel. I have no faults to find at all with the hotel
Very pleasant surroundings. Nice food, comfortable clean room No, except that its a little confusing when you arrive to know where to find the reception area. We were charged for someone else's meals and stay instead of our own, however this rectified speedily oncec it was pointed out.
beautiful setting & lovely rooms, furnished to the highest standard
The ambience of the bar / lounge area. There was no where to relax after dinner as all areas were taken over by tables. Because of the wooden floors, it is noisy if you are located on teh ground floor. Carpets in the upstairs rooms would help.

Petroleum companies exposed among polluters
The Ministry of Environmental Protection has fined 150 major companies for discharging excessive pollutants in the first six months, with petroleum companies exposed as the worst offenders.
Some companies in the energy and petrochemical enterprises accounted for a large share, and most of them were fined due to discharging excessive pollutants, according to a statement from the ministry on Tuesday.
For example, Jiangxi Hongyu Energy Development Ltd has been fined 10.6 million yuan ($1.6 million) in the second quarter, the statement said.
Some branch enterprises of the China National Petroleum Corp have been listed several times in the first six months, with a branch enterprise from the petroleum giant in Dalian city of Liaoning province receiving constant fines from the ministry in the first two quarters, reaching 14.4 million yuan, the largest fine as yet.

Taraji P. Henson says so long to high street store
Actress Taraji P. Henson is against wearing fur, unlike her Empire character Cookie Lyon.
(Cover) - EN Star Style - Actress Taraji P. Henson has given up buying clothes at high street store T.J. Maxx.
The 45-year-old has been working since the late 90s, but her turn as Cookie Lyon in Empire has really propelled her to superstardom.
Stepping out at last night's Emmys (20Sep15), Taraji stunned in a black custom Alexander Wang gown. The look was a million miles away from the star's former low key wardrobe.
"[I can no longer shop at T.J. Maxx.] I'd have to go at a weird hour and dress like the Unabomber," she laughed to Us Weekly.
With her sleek bobbed hair and glamorous make-up, Taraji also looked nothing like her screen alter ego Cookie.
Empire is based around a hip hop and entertainment company called Empire Entertainment, and the drama surrounding the members of the founders' family as they fight for control of the company.
The fictional character of Cookie rocks a much more over the top style, full of furs, glitter and bright lipstick. Fans often confuse the two, but Taraji is always quick to point out their differences.
"They will call me Cookie, and I'm like, 'That's not my name!' I'm not her - I'm not a fur girl. I'm a PETA girl. And I think selling drugs is a horrible thing... I'm not trying to go to prison!" she giggled.
On the subject of Cookie's clothes, Taraji reveals the looks are about to get a glam new makeover.
"She was in jail for 17 years and came out behind the curveball of fashion. But in the second season, we're getting so much love from fashion houses. Moschino, Balmain, Chanel... You name it, we got it - and Cookie wears it" she smiled.
Empire season two starts from 23 September (15) on Fox.

Yankees head to All-Star break with win over ValleyCats, 6-3
By Ian Fontenot / Staten Island Yankees | August 17, 2014 8:43 PM ET
After dropping the first two games of the series to the Tri-City ValleyCats (42-21), the Staten Island Yankees (31-31) avoided being swept with a 6-3 victory on Sunday afternoon.
The Baby Bombers offense exploded in the first inning as all nine batters in the order came to the plate. Collin Slaybaugh led off the game with a double to right field, followed by Isaias Tejeda doubling on a ball that bounced off the third base bag to plate Slaybaugh. Austin Aune was next up with a single to right field that scored Tejeda. Chris Breen, Connor Spencer and Vicente Conde collected three consecutive singles, plating two more runs to give Staten Island a 4-0 lead through one inning.
Staten Island starting pitcher and former first round pick Ty Hensley gave the Yankees a quality outing, allowing only one hit with four strikeouts in his three scoreless innings of work.
The ValleyCats offense remained quiet until the fifth inning as Jose Solano hit a double to left field, then scored on an Ariel Ovando single to center to put Tri-City on the board.
Tri-City struck again in the sixth inning. Juan Santana reached on an error by second baseman Jose Javier then Nick Tanielu hit a ground-rule double to right field to put both runners in scoring position. Ricky Gingras followed with a sacrifice fly ball to center field that scored Santana. Tanielu came across the plate later in the inning as a defensive miscue by Conde allowed Solano to reach base with two outs.
Leading by only one run in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Baby Bombers answered with another run of their own. Conde and Slaybaugh both drew walks before Javier slapped a single to right field to put the score at 5-3 in favor of Staten Island.
Javier came up big again for the Baby Bombers in the eighth inning as the second baseman hit a home run over the left field wall, giving the team a final lead of 6-3.
The Staten Island Yankees will be back at home on Wednesday at 7 p.m. as they host the Brooklyn Cyclones for Jewish Heritage Night featuring a special appearance by Major League Baseball's first designated hitter Ron Blomberg.

In this serialised feature, Ali Al Saloom shares his insight and experiences from growing up in the UAE.
The Ali Story: The bird boy of Baniyas
In my childhood, I had many hobbies. Well, you could say that I loved almost everything, I had no limits on what I really wanted to do, and the one person I still remember who helped me to be like that was my beloved father.
When I was 7 to 10 years old, my older sister and I were part of a few groups: the scouting team in Suwaihan, the karate group near Hamed Center and the Abu Dhabi Hunting and Equestrian Club near Maqta Bridge. I still remember how my father would come back from work around 1.30pm, have some lunch, sleep till around 3.30pm, pray and then call my sister to ask which programme we would be attending that day. He was very keen for us to try out different things.
Karate was the one that I sometimes hated a lot, even though I loved the kicking. But it was hard; plus, it was just weird seeing my older sister wearing the white karate outfit and having a higher grade belt than me. Our karate trainer was from Jordan and he was really tough and very strict, but gentle at the same time and made us really love karate.
Another day we would be getting ready to go horse riding and jumping, and this was my happy day, since I just love to be around animals. And, of course, horse riding and jumping was just a very cool and high-class thing to be involved with. Hence, I was always striving to do my best at it. I even had a dream of representing the country in an international horse jumping competition, but my mother just felt that would take us away from school, so she put an end to that.
We would leave our home in Baniyas every day, drive 30 minutes to reach Abu Dhabi to be at the horse club and then come back home late, which meant there was not enough time to rest, and study for school. So my father suggested that, instead of continuing at the Hunting and Equestrian Club, we could enjoy horse riding lessons at the Gulf Hotel, which used to be located near Maqta Bridge and was one of the best venues in Abu Dhabi. It had a great number of activities and, besides the huge swimming pool, the horse riding was really a highlight of that time. I still remember the name of the horse I rode: Pepper. I keep laughing every time I remember the name because, back when I was young, I used to read the name as "Paper". My sister would laugh at me and say "why don't you call it Al Ittihad"! My sisters would never stop making fun of me; oh well, girls! What to do?
So between scouting, karate and horse riding, our schedule was always full, but of course, we always found time for other hobbies. For me, that was raising pigeons. How did I get into it, I have no idea. Well, of course, Dad had a lot to do with it, but I recall how most households in Baniyas also had this hobby in common.
Our homes in Baniyas were perfect for any birds to live on the roofs, since we had huge water tanks on top of the house, which were covered by a wooden or aluminium shade to keep the water inside the tanks a bit cooler. And since it was too high and very difficult for cats to climb to, pigeons decided to call our roofs home by nesting in between the water tank and the shade. Once we started to realise this, guess what we decided to do? With the help of my Dad, we built a new, five-star wooden bird house for them. We would catch the pigeons and put them inside these cages.
Now, wait, don't think we did them wrong, because there's a trick: first, we caught the pigeons and kept them safe in these huge, lovely cages, serving them food and water for around 30 days.
And then came the magical moment of truth ...
We opened the doors of the cage and let the pigeons fly away. And guess what happened next? They all returned around sunset, directly into their cage.
What's next? Getting into the pigeon business ... for next week.

I'm writing this letter due to the lack of security in surrounding elementary schools. This is a situation that I have always wanted to express my opinion ''strongly'' because so many bad things are happening to young children in elementary schools. I now feel that we as parents need to pull together and get some form of security for the young.
On Sept. 19 my 8-year-old son left school as a runaway without anyone knowing he had left. When I received the phone call from the school my mind went blank. The first thing that came to my mind is that my child would never be found, but he was and I couldn't be happier. If the schools had monitors, someone to watch over the young, this wouldn't have happened.
The Georgia lottery issues money to schools to be rebuilt and for equipment. I feel some of that money should go toward security. We have security in the middle schools and high schools, so what about our babies who just can't protect themselves. Let's solve this problem before the next child gets away from school. He or she might not be as lucky to make it back. Stop, look and listen don't let the next child be yours.

5 out of 5 starsposted 11 months ago
Just had my 6kW solar system installed by QLD SOLAR and could not be happier. I'd like to thank Daniel for the deal he put together for me on my system which was at least $1500 cheaper than anyone else I spoke to. I'd also like to thank Ron and Elliot who did a great job, very professional on actually installing my system, Thanks guys. I am also confident that should anything happen they will be there to help us out.

I Bought a micro inverter system off these guys roughly a year ago and couldn't be happier. The whole process was very easy start to finish, and I found Dan to be very helpful, brutally honest and not full o f BS like the vast majority of solar installers who use cheap sales tactics.
The work conducted was of a very good standard and the price was by far the best around for what I received. I'd recommend these guys if your looking to install solar, so would the Mrs. I believe she enjoyed her day off watching the lads install the system most of all.
5 out of 5 starsposted 9 months ago
I would like to commend Qld Solar & Lighting on the recent solar installation at my home. Both Dan & Scott provided me with no nonsense advice, prompt & clear documentation and a very fair price. The installation crew Ron and Elliot were a pleasure to deal with & the product quality appears to be of a high standard. Hopefully no warranty claims down the track, but I am confident if there is I will be looked after. The service to date and follow up calls after installation have been appreciated.
As a retired sparky I had a keen interest in the technical aspects of the installation as well as the quality of the products & installation workmanship. I can report all is satisfactory. The whole experience was completely painless and all the staff were a pleasure to deal with.
Sunshine Coast, Qld.

Awesome job. Great Value, punctual, great customer service. Glad I made the right decision to go with you guys. Electrical work was neat and tidy. From my initial phone call asking for a quote to install was only 2 weeks. The wife was particularly impressed with the 4 strapping lads that did the install!
5 out of 5 starsposted 2 years ago
I was lucky enough to find Daniel from Queensland Solar and Lighting who has been excellent from start to finish with our solar system. He recommended a system that will pay for itself in approx 18 months and we are currently on track. I don't usually give reviews but felt that the great service I received needed to be complimented. I wouldn't hesitate to refer Daniel to anyone considering taking control of their future power bills. Do it today while there are still some rebates available!!

By Bob Nightengale, USA TODAY
LOS ANGELES St. Louis Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday, too pained to look, jogged past the Los Angeles Dodgers' celebratory mob scene in front of him Thursday night.
The Cardinals, one out and a routine Holliday catch from tying the National League Division Series, instead were left to deal with a stunning 3-2 loss and a 2-0 deficit in the best-of-five series.
"It's about as tough a loss as you can have," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said. "We have another opportunity, but this was a tough loss."
GAME REPORT: Dodgers 3, Cardinals 2
NLDS MATCHUP: Dodgers-Cardinals (Dodgers lead 2-0)
MR. OCTOBER: Track the top postseason performers
ROCKIES TOP PHILLIES: Even series at one
The Dodgers' hero was pinch-hitter Mark Loretta, who delivered a two-out, ninth-inning single that scored Casey Blake. It was clear who was the goat, particularly after Cardinals starter Adam Wainwright yielded three hits in eight innings.
"You think I could catch a ball hit right at me," Holliday said. "It's tough to swallow."
With Los Angeles down 2-1 with two outs in the ninth, James Loney hit a routine fly to left. Holliday tried to make a basket catch as the ball sank, but it caromed off his stomach as Loney reached second.
"I didn't see the ball," Holliday said.
The Dodgers pounced. Blake drew a nine-pitch walk and Ronnie Belliard slapped the first pitch to center, tying the score. A walk and two pitches later, Loretta gave the Dodgers their miraculous win.
"That's the biggest hit of my career," Loretta said.
The Cardinals got a stellar performance from starter Adam Wainwright, who left with a 2-1 lead after eight innings. Still, St. Louis went home empty-handed after opening the series with two Cy Young Award contenders on the mound: Chris Carpenter and Wainwright.
With the bases empty in the ninth, Holliday charged in on James Loney's (FSY) shot to left field. But he couldn't make the play, allowing Loney to reach second.
"That ball got lost in 50,000 white towels shaking in front of Matt's face," Wainwright said. "It doesn't really seem fair that an opposing team should be able to allow their fans to shake white towels when there's a white baseball flying through the air. How about Dodger Blue towels?"
Franklin walked Casey Blake before Belliard singled up the middle, scoring pinch-runner Juan Pierre. A passed ball moved runners up to second and third, and Franklin walked Russell Martin on four pitches to load the bases.
Loretta, batting for reliever George Sherrill, was 0 for 15 in his career against Franklin before fisting a soft single to center that drove in Blake. That triggered a huge celebration, with teammates jumping on Loretta in a pile between first and second base.
"Unfortunately, I did know the numbers," said Loretta, who signed with the Dodgers as a free agent in the offseason. "I really didn't have a lot of nerves. I felt like all the pressure was on them at that point. I was fortunate to find a little bit of fairway out there."
The late rally was nothing new for the Dodgers. They won 23 regular-season games in their final at-bat, most in the National League, according to STATS LLC.
"Until that last out, nobody ever gives up," Loretta said. "That's sort of been our modus this year. We started off 13-0, we had a bunch of these last-minute wins, so it obviously gives us some confidence in that situation."
Andre Ethier homered and Sherrill got the win for the Dodgers, in position for a sweep in the opening round for the second consecutive season. Last year, they won the first two games at Wrigley Field before closing out the Chicago Cubs at home in Game 3.
Franklin took the loss, spoiling an outstanding effort by Wainwright.
The NL leader with 19 victories, Wainwright allowed three hits, struck out seven and walked one. That followed a subpar outing by Carpenter, who lasted only five innings and took the loss in Game 1.
Wainwright was 1-0 with four saves when the Cardinals won the 2006 World Series in their last playoff appearance, making him the first pitcher since Bob Welch to save a World Series game and then start a postseason game.
"The quality of that was so good it's almost impossible to describe under the circumstances," La Russa said about Wainwright. "He had very little to work with, and he was just outstanding."
Trever Miller started the ninth and retired Ethier on a popup before turning it over to Franklin.
Los Angeles' Clayton Kershaw, a 21-year-old left-hander starting for the first time in the postseason, allowed nine hits and two runs in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out four and walked two in a game dominated by starting pitching, the opposite of the Dodgers' 5-3 win in Wednesday night's opener.
Albert Pujols and Manny Ramirez were non-factors for the second consecutive game. Pujols went 1 for 3 with an intentional walk for the Cardinals; Ramirez finished 0 for 4 with a strikeout.
The Cardinals snapped a 1-all tie in the seventh on Colby Rasmus' RBI double off the center-field wall. Mark DeRosa (FSY), who led off with a single, scored and Rasmus was out trying to advance to third on the throw home.
Ethier tied it 1-all with a homer in the fourth — the Dodgers' first hit off Wainwright, who retired his first 11 batters. The right-hander set down another six in a row until Rafael Furcal's (FSY) two-out single in the sixth.

Our Review of Dancing Bear
You need to get your ass on line if you haven't heard of the site Dancing Bear. This site is a wild and banging party porn site that has been featuring bachelorette parties for over half a decade. By bachelorette parties, that means kinky orgies with male strippers getting blow jobs, having sex and spraying jizz on drunk and still fully clothes women in parties.
Dancing Bear is one of those specialty porn sites that offers a good amount of niche in just one site. They cater to the porn categories such as public nudity and public sex, fetishes, blow jobs, orgies, facials, cum in mouth among others. So you do get a variety of action when you watch one of their episodes.
To do that, you can choose to have a trial run of $1 .00 for 2 days limited access that recurs monthly at a reasonable $39.95. That covers their latest updates and you can download three sets of videos lips, photos and even screen caps.
But being that Dancing Bear is such a great site for their chosen niche, we suggest that you try their $24.95 monthly recurring membership or if you have dollars to spare, their 1 year full access of $119.40 which recurs at $9.95 every month. There's a pre-checked cross sell though, so be sure to read everything and check out those boxes if you don't what additional charges.
Inside their member's area is a good content vault that offers exclusive and content only Dancing Bear can provide with about 80 wild parties in great quality playback running at approximately 75 minutes (that's long and sweet) for each episode. Stream view capabilities are decent with their Flash movie format at 960×576 dimensions. Members can also download their sexy videos vie three file formats: WMV at 640×480 and MP4/M4V at 852×480 with the same bit-rate of 1600k. Then there are the new WMV video versions at 1280×720. Download the full length versions or per segments options are available, no DRM, but there's a large sized watermark in each movie. The guys behind it are so proud on their work, which is understandable because they do have a pretty interesting and 100% exclusive porn collection, but members can live without those pretty annoying watermarks. But hey, that isn't really a big deal, they do offer really high quality scenes with some offered in HD versions. Their non-HD movie formats give really fantastic and really sharp playbacks.
When it comes to photos, they also have 80 picture galleries in easy to download zip files. They may not offer high resolution images for their images, but the sheer number of photos inside each gallery is enough to make anyone happy. Enjoy going thought 1000 photos in each set, making their photo collection one of the biggest in the specialty niche porn site market. Good thing they don't have those big watermarks like the ones in their videos, you won't notice a small version of it when it comes to their images.
The concept is just awesome. All of their videos happens during a party, where well hung male strippers perform not just lap dances to a bunch of boozed out women (the girls in each episodes ranges from teen to cougars that are gifted in huge variety of boob sizes, skin color and cock pleasing skill which is just damn awesome), but they all end up having their dicks wanked, sucked and even ridden by these naughty gals! I don't know if it's really real bachelorette parties, but the way they shot every episode sure made it look that way.
Bummer thing is most of the times, well actually all the time; the women included at each party keep their clothes on. It is in the CFNM niche, but the fact that these girls are getting face fucked and some even swallowing cum can make you think that it's all a set-up.
But that isn't really something to rant about, considering that Dancing Bear's movie library is just one of the most unique collections of porn that you can ever get your hands on. All original scenes of fuck happy and drunk ladies at some bachelorette parties can't get wilder, sexier and raunchier than what they have to offer!
There are a few negative things that this site has to change in order for them to really be at the top of their porn niche. Their content library seem to have stopped growing, unfortunately their updates schedules have been becoming rare. All those earlier content can't be downloaded in HD version, so bummer, because most of it is the best. When it comes to website design, it's pretty bland and boring. Dancing Bear's videos are all packed with explicit porn energy, but their chosen designs from graphics, to color template and even browsing features kind of lacks in creativity and flair. But that doesn't make them unworthy or our hard earn bucks.
Over all, Dancing Bear isn't just a novelty porn site. It is a must see for all porn fans out there.

Sodomites, Vaginamites and Cockites: Welcome to the Demise of Morality
Well, it turns out I'm a vaginamite. I had no idea. I'm not even that happy about it despite my general obsession with, well, vagina.
Okay, I am thinking that some of you are probably thinking, "WTF is a vaginamite?" and, honestly, that's a fair question. It's actually very similar to the question I asked when I found out that a gay friend of mine is a "sodomite."
Apparently, if you are a gay male in America, there are many people who consider you to be a "sodomite." Being an ignorant of such things, I had to ask what that meant. So, thankfully, I was told how it works.
You see, people who are gay, are, well, gay. That means they like people of the same sex as themselves. If you happen to be male and feel this way, then apparently the only thing that matters in our society is that, if you find someone with whom you share enough things in common (like literature, dog loving, exercise habits, work ethic, religion, political views, artistic sensibility, music… etc.), we, as a culture, reduce you to the sexual activities that might occur once you find someone with whom you share all those things in common. So, since some sexual contact of some particular type might take place we, therefore, assign you a label by which we can then decide how to treat you.
If it's a man-on-man thing, you will, by iron decree, be indulging in sex of the posterior region making you a sodomite. If you are a male who likes chicks, you are, clearly a vaginamite (like me), and if you are a chick who likes dudes, you are a cockite. It's so simple.
Sodomites are the main focus though. But that's cool. The beauty and simplicity of this identification system, "sodomidenity," is that it removes any need for thinking or expectation of personal complexity. If you are gay, you are clearly going to indulge in that booty sex thing, and, therefore, you are a sodomite, because "sodomy" is that booty thing, and if you do it, nothing else matters about you. Every other thing about you is instantly erased and, no matter your mind, wit, intelligence, talent, works, contributions, perspective, or anything else, none of that matters. You are just a sodomite.
Which is fine. I get it. You are gay. And, by the possibility of that booty thing, you are actually just a sodomite, because, well, we are defined by where we focus our sex acts. That really is what we are if we really, honestly examine who we are.
Which is why I am kind of depressed.
I am a vaginamite.
Look, I admit I love naked chicks. I do. I try to pretend I'm all intelligent and educated and stuff, but the truth is, when hot models and actresses come on TV, I'm thinking, "Man, I wish I could see her … V-part."
I feel even more sorry for my wife. I love my wife. I do. More than anything. But, honestly, I spend a lot of time figuring out how to, well, you know… that, to her. So that's all I am. I'm not a husband, or father. Just a vaginamite.
I always thought that I was mostly about my work. My novel writing. My satire. The marketing and sales I have done to shape and grow companies I have worked for. The people I have helped. The people I have influenced, kids I raised, causes I made a difference in. But, well, I am a moron. I'm not that. Humans are not that stuff. We are who we hump or want to hump, and how we hump them.
I am a vaginamite. That's it. Nothing more.
My wife is a cockite. Wow, how disappointing. I thought she was this amazing, loving, giving person, a great cook, kind mother, … but, by the rules of sexual reductivism, that doesn't work. She's just a cockite. And, frankly, now I'm insecure. Man, I hope nobody has a better, um… first part of her "...ite."
Anyway, I'm not sure what else to say beyond this. But I just want everyone to understand how it really works. If you think you are some kind of enlightened something or other and you want to make some lame argument about "live and let live," or evolving freedoms in a modern world or some other stupid crap like that… don't. We are nothing more than the reduced description of our preferred or possibly preferred sexual acts. The rest is just crap. So stop trying to pretend you have dignity. You don't. You're just a cockite, a sodomite or a vaginamite. Accept it.
Have fun with this? Join me in other venues too...

As you can see, I am a champion of truth, reason and equality. An artist. And as such, I am grossly underfunded for my campaign for fairness in the universe. It would help me if you check out my site, or, better, consider buying my latest book...
My latest book:
Wow, and here all these years I thought I was a person. I need to reevaluate everything now. Thanks for that! :P
Hmmm, I would agree that we do put labels on people to categorize them. Makes us feel more in control I guess.
nice hub,congrats
Only you! LOL! I am not even sure what to write for a comment. LOL! You have laughing too hard, just from the title. :) Thank you for playing. :)
I really love this Shades. Well written, OF COURSE, but the message is so good. Message, laughs, thoughts - the whole package - that is when writing really hits the spot.
Shades, great job. Your message sure makes me feel insecure. I know I am not the best writer but at least thought some of the other things which are part of me meant something.
In the end it boils down to I am a vaginamite. If I understand correctly its what my preference is not whether or not I can still function.
OK, can't stop laughing here. I initially was expecting a hub about vegemite, but nope I was getting way ahead of a few vowels.
Is it ok if I share this via FB?
Much affection Cockite Jewels!
We Are whatever the media bill of goods has sold us. Now, aren't we? LOL
can you be a vaginamite and a sodimite at the same time. Or maybe some one classes you as a sodimite but you are only really a cockite. For the record i am a vaginamite. I like to thinkof myself as a tri-sexual. I will try anything. Great hub!!!
Haha so random! Love it tho!
When I started reading your hub I thought you were going to talk about mites that live in and around vaginas. Very funny take on sexual preferences...brilliant!
Yes, but where do sheep come in?
Shades - this is so brilliantly cerebral it will take me some time to cogitate thereupon.
@Paraglider. Sheep do NOT come in. They do not know how to open doors . . . yet.
Lordy, Lordy Shades,
I feel exposed, naked being a cockite and all. I thought that part of me was the least. I thought this amazing woman who could do anything she set her mind to, who made people want to forget they were on a diet with her meal creations, her eye for beauty and art and all the other mazing things about was who she really is.......I'm so depressed right now.
Seriously, I love this. You have brought to the forefront how simplistic and utterly shallow we see others. How retarded our views of people really are.
We don't walk around bashing people for being cockites and vaginites yet we do it with sodomites. So that brings in the biasness(if there is such a word) of how we think and treat each other. We as a people need a paradigm shift.
The new ad campaign for Dick's Sporting Goods store will be, "Most women prefer dicks and some men too!". Funny article. Thanks for sharing.
I don't know where you get your inspiration Shades, but it always results in an utterly brilliant result. Thanks so much for the belly laughs :)
And I thought a dangling participle was of interest...color me inchoate...Larry
Interesting hub - to say the least !
Dear Dr Shades,
Interesting, very Interesting I do declare.
What about those that canot descide what mite they are as they at on time or another are on or the other.
Now would what would yo be if you were in all three at the same time.
Haha, this is one of the best hubs I have read in months!
WOW shadesbreath this is the best piece published here in ages. Oh but how long will the goodness last.
Damn you. Here I was just enjoying a wonderfully, lazy, thought-free day and you come along with your brilliant as usual wit and start me pondering. I've always despised labels...in clothing and people. Using them is just a way of saying "I'm too damn lazy and too full of my own self righteous worth to get to know who you really are. It's so much easier to describe you by your race, your religion, your sexual preference and take you out of the equation of people worth knowing.". Nice way to bring a point across.
Great hub....voting up!
Okay, what do you call a celibate? A non-ite? (Just wondering).
I found this hub hilariously bitter and couldn't agree with you more about sexual reductivism.
I wonder if all men wonder if their wives wonder if there's something better out there for the cockite.
Jewels and I are obviously on the same wavelength, because i was thinking that you were going to be talking about Vegemite as opposed to Marmite. Then I thought, what about those poor little Catamites that I have read and written about, and are the Luddites not going to get a mention either... then I read mark Ewbie's comment on the way down and I stopped hyperventilating, and decided that I am going to be a neophyte and just go with the flow. Or should that be neophite?
Well I hope the hub stays up for a while. At least until all the readers can categorize themselves. I would hate to go through the rest of my life not knowing.
there's a yeast spread called Vegemite in Australia & New Zealand. Now everytime I see Vegemite, it will remind me of Vaginamite.
What about those who like both? Bimite? Dimite?
Those that like neither - nonomite?
imite for virgins! You just killed me too.
Hey Shadesbreath, nice addition(pictures). Interesting to say the least. LOL! :) Thank you for letting me know. :)
Why don't we drop the false modesty altogether?
For me the word sodomite was unclear at best because it did not only mean gay men having sex with gay men. I looked up the term and the article is two kilometers long.
I guess "taking it from behind" is a very jolly activity, since homosexuals are called so GAY.
In Russian, they are called Blue, so it might occur that "taking it from behind" might actually incur some melancholy as every love does.
However, I have trouble with your classification.
I cannot have sex either way with vaginamites (I would rather drop "m" and make it "vaginites").
It does not sound right - a woman loves a vaginamite, sounds like a woman in love with a vagina something, therefore making two vaginas, so a female gay couple.
However, since you so clearly put it in the open the parts instead of the veiled places (Sodom)
I suggest let's clarify everything once and for all
For Receivers:
for anal anything - analites (men or women)
for vaginal - vaginites
for oral - oralites (men or women)
For givers:
gay -
The instrument is still the same.
No, there are vibrators - Vibratorites
Analites = the analogy with the word "anal-yze" is so clear so I don't really have to draw your attention to it (anal-ogy, anal-ize).
"Analites" - "Thinkers"
(try it and you would think twice why it is ok for gay people and women, but not for straight men, that is a challenge). The horror! The horror!!!
I tried to ask a question "What is your position on anal sex?" and a man told me he had no position.
Men have only two positions in anal sex, and it is their position that make them straight or gay.
Bisexuals are, I guess, open-minded.
"Oralites" - "Eloquent Speakers"
"Vaginites" - "Mothers/Mothers to be/Possible Mothers/Impossible Mothers" (women only)
Where to put straight men?
Together with moralites?
Strait Jackets come to mind.
Why? Because men want it all in every possible place and then point their fingers and not only fingers at the immorality of others. Especially women.
This is not an ill-intended response, it is my re-BUTT-al. If anything makes me think, I think despite the analogies it might create.
Just riding my creativity wave...
I don't think anybody expected it. That is the beauty of comments. On top of all the places where we can take "it", there are heads filled with minds.
I love the pictures also. I think the sodomites have the best chance of survival in a famine, but that's another story.
Since you insist:
I am a woman. A Woe-Maaaaan. Those words... always create one mess or another.
But if you ask my friends/readers, I am a pain in the ...
what was your preference?
To end it on a lighter note -
I was laughing out so hard and for so long, that my son was trying to read what was "so funny".
And to compensate for any "pain", there is one article that I have (I am not the author) which is funny and which explains my "preferences" - I torture with ... Tolerance.
I never push my work on others (as if it was possible), but this piece deserves more light (as I said before, I am only the messenger - the translator).
Cutting, biting satire is surely your forte, Shades! Brilliantly done--sure to make people think--the think-ites, of course. That would be those who claim to abstain and content themselves with just thinking about it. (A category not exactly including priests, it would seem.)
Of the non-thinkers, many will simply agree with the article at face-value, not realizing they are being twitted...and those are the ones causing the problems of which you so eloquently speak...errrrr...write.
Voted up and funny... still laughing.
Random, wacky and hilarious. Nice hub!
Ah, the illustrations are great.
You're seriously disturbed, you know that?
Must be why I like you so much.
Is there a 4th choice for people that don't like anybody?? :)
Shadesbreath, I think you were wrong about people not being interested in thoughtful articles. I know it was not what you said, you said that this kind of articles did not make money.
It is that the adult content that bugs me, because I haven't found the way around it yet.
But your success is very encouraging. I am just letting you know in case you don't know already that your article has been featured.
I second Patty on that. We need a fourth choice. Oh man, though, this is one heck of an awesome Hub. I LOVE the illustrations.
While Shadesbreath is bathing in the rays of fame and spotlights,
a little note to Simone:
I wanted to write an article that is "adult content", but not obscene,of course, yet I was apprehensive that my effort would go down the drain since HP is not really favour certain topics.
If it is so awesome what Shadesbreath did, I would like to note that there is a precedent. It may not work the way I plan, not all articles are created equal, but I want to make a point nonetheless.
P.S. It is not advertising or self-promotion, the article in question does not even have a draft yet.
An idée fixe... seulement.
I think the mnemonic for people that don't like anybody - hermitite. That's what I'm aiming for.
The art work is fab, dahling!
I don't know what you mean by "bag boy". Is it a BAD boy, or is it some term I am not aware of? I don't want your jokes to die horrific deaths.
I don't know if you saw my comment on "Tolerance", but I was not aware that you have commented on this one - sometimes notifications don't come.
Featuring. I had no idea either. But one of my articles got so much traffic all of a sudden that I could not help but wonder. I looked it up and to my bewilderment it was "featured" on the front page "Topics".
Look at the top of the page on the left:
Home Topics Hubs Answers Hubbers Forums
So, in the Topics there are categories and subcategories. Three hubs (pictures only, icons) are featured on the front page, if you go to category or subcategory you have a list - the same idea with your own hubs - best/hot/latest/greatest.
Not everything is written is displayed.
I gave you the link so you know.
But you know how to press different tabs.
Click, click, click.
Mine "Am I Beautiful?" was in the "Hubs" section as well, I only found out today because it did not occur to me to click on "Hubs" before. I am the same as you, I don't know enough about HubPages. I am a writer, not a technical person who comes to the site and gets to know how to set up ads and make money. Nothing to be proud of.
I will try not to forget to share my "masterpiece" on back doors, but it might take a long time. I am completely bogged down writing my visions.
I submitted my comment, went back to see if your article was still there and what did I see? Another one of mine is featured.
Am I famous? Deluded, more like.
I had so much fun with "click-click-clicking" - I saw your "100" standing and it is not only your article that is "featured", but also YOU as well. In the "Hubbers" section.
I did not know it before. I have never had "100", but it does not really matter.
Enjoy your fame, it might be fleeting.
And how anyone gets anywhere on HubPages? I never went to topics and those pages looking for the material to read. As arrogant as it might sound "I am here to write, not read."
I found you following someone else because I had a theory. Don't I always?
The idea was to write an article about comments. As it usually happens, one idea leads to another and in the end I cannot even remember where I started.
There is a Russian expression "To start with "Long live the King" and end with "Rest in Peace" (from joyous celebration to the funeral panegyric).
However, the article is under way.
All in all I am glad I found your article - I have learned something.
Double-funny with the 4th choice, I must vote up twice.
Seriously. This StopitIsaidNomite is exceedingly pleased.
Shades,,you've managed to break it down to the bare boners, uh, I mean, bones. :)
I have to say that this is one line of thinking that has never crossed my mind, in terms of categorizing people. I am almost ashamed to say I found it humorous. It was, for me, for lack of a better term, a refreshing way to consider things. I would even go so far as to say that this is not mainstream,,which makes it even more enlightening.
Great job,,,loved the 'imites' LOL
I put vaginamites on my sandwiches. Actually, they put themselves there. Where I come from vagina-mites are treatable with Permethrin 5 percent which is also known as Elimite :) I think vaginamites are also breifly mentioned in the Yeast farms of Asimovs universe. If not, they should have been. Im glad That Vaginamites are curable but Im equally glad that cockites are still incapable of any help - well except for the obvious treatment that is...
Read Leviticus. That's always good fun when dealing with anything that ends in "ites".
Stoning to Death has just been added as one of the more neglected sports at next year's Olympic games.
Iran are sending a few of their best.
The last three comments indicate that you three should collaborate on a mockumentary sci-fi novel, film, and TV series! Much funnier than summer reruns...
Oh, you mean like "Flesh Gordon?"
Yes, yes, the 1980s one. Now you have claimed it and must do!
Breathy Shady story coming up! Do it...
That's right.
Primitive man rises from ooze to ite?
Great satire on the lowest common denominator(LCD)--the sex drive--another LCD (Likeliest common drive).
Quite an admission of the real mind set of every individual on the planet...of course, what does one do with a cockaminimus-sodomaximus-medivaginamitasite?
Sorry, the dialogue was begging the question of the polyamourous sexite? Was it wrong to go there?
Austinstar, you of all people, ask, "huh?" Was I unclear?
Randslam, better make it
"the lowest sexual denominator (LSD).
"the l sex drive" (LSD).
For the l - pick one
Oh, well..
Oh, "L"
randy - no, you are clear as a glass. My brain hurts though ;-)
really interesting hub. I voted up because it was great thought provoking research! I have a question for you. What is a person considered who doesn't have sex? A "absentite"?
I think another term is in order:
A prudite - a prude - the one who has sex but denies it or does not have sex, but wants to have it.
And how about having sex with yourself - Selfite? (the other two words that come to mind just make the "-ite" combinations slightly obscene even for my taste).
To show my complete ignorance - what is ROFL BTW?
Yes, I thought - masturbite or onanite - but it sounds so disgusting.
However, in the dictionary I came across (by chance, mind you)
there is such thing as zoolite. Yes, it does exist. No, it does not EXIST. Because a zoolite is a fossil animal.
And, naturally, my imagination went into the sexual perversions - however, I am not going to dwell on them any further than "perversite" - ...
I think you started with those things - things that are considered abnormal.
Wait, I think it is me.
Then you are a mentiroso (maybe mentirosito) and that is not a lie.
About lying - it is a good mental exercise to lie on a floor at least once a day and meditate.
Don't laugh.
Don't roll.
OK, I must start doing it myself. MMM, maybe after tango exercise. Is there any other dance when partners lean on each other? Chest to chest?
Wait, there is a word - tanguera, tanguero.
Insane writers on HubPages:
writera, writero;
HubPagerosita, HubPagerosito.
OK, then, I was worried, you might be offended that I called you "el mentiroso".
I got used to that word that it seems normal. Everything is normal in Toronto.
I only meant you are NOT rolling on the floor laughing. Yes, I know what hyperbole is.
Yes, I was playing with the words, that is all.
Again, you know it is normal for those who write:
Modernism - avant-gardism
Postmodernism - avant-gardism
Postism - making posts - arrière-gardism.
What the book is about, if I may ask?
I will try to find enough time to check it out - you know writers - selfish bunch - I need time to write and as I was saying to everyone with nauseating frequency - I need to do house-cleaning.
How exciting!
Good luck with the book,
lol--or, to quote Demetri Martin, LQTM (laughing quietly to myself)! I might have actually LOL'ed, but I have my favorite cockite sleeping next to me, and my vaginamite nature fixes my possible future sexual activity with her as my very, very tippy-top priority. I wouldn't want to wake her with my LOL--or, God forbid, my ROFLMFAO--for fear of discouraging said activity later on.
Always amusing to read your hubs.
I'm all about peeling labels.
Ladies & Gentlemen:
I have to apologize for being PITA (pain in the ass)
but that is how the whole thing began. I was waiting for my son to outgrow his fascination with pooh-pooh subjects, but then I realized it will never stop.
We never get tired of pooh-pooh vocabulary. I am not going to elaborate, you all know that certain words... just there to stay to express the height and depth and voltage of our emotions, something like: "Shit!"
But my lovely comment is not on that, being a writer (self-appointed), I read a book on "How to write" and the author suggested to refrain from LOLs and such. Not only that, but from indicating where the reader has to laugh. It is respect for the reader's intelligence, who should be clever enough to figure out when and how ...
I am not saying that you all have to stop using whatever you are using.
I am just sharing. I made it a rule for myself. No abbreviations.
I remember a very old joke about the sense of humour, when the listener is instructed beforehand:
"Laugh after the word "spacecraft".
Very creative and funny, I enjoyed that. Great hub.
spacecraft (laughter follows)
(love those parenthesis)
But we digress.
In the caving world, are stalagmites and stalactites equivalent to cockites and vaginamites (respectively)?
Holy crap. The rest of the comments made my brain hurt, but I still laughed. Shady, Shade. You're awesome.
I challenge the advocates of same-sex marriage and the entire sodomite community to gather themselves in a town exclusive to their perversion and see whether in 100 years they would not be in extinction?
"Man has often lost his way, but modern man has lost his address" Gilbert K. Chesterton
I think those who have an address always have a circular pattern to their ways - home - work - home - work - ...
I think we should categorize people by certain characteristics - send all mentally ill or challenged to hell as if having a mental illness is not enough of a hell.
By the way, depression qualifies. And lose their address. Who needs them?
Would all Christians please follow the challenge presented by apologetics.
Screw living in a diverse society!
Are you all guys leaving? Maybe we will go like this:
1) girls to the right;
2) boys to the left.
That was the strategy to go answer nature call in the woods in the absence of facilities.
I don't know how I missed this, but I did. And now I am sorry because I have a question and I don't know if it is too late to ask it. But I will anyway, since there is no charge:
Is it not true that, by definition, a sodomite is also a cocktite? Surely this must be an important point that needs to be defined?
John, you are such an intelligent and humane person that you make me wish I was living next door to you, so that we could share the occasional beer and chew the fat when we are not vaginamitating our loved ones ;-))
Right then.If there is a website for selling cheap log cabins in your area, send it to me and I shall see what my cockdite wife says about it. we may end up drinking those beers after all ;-)))
It's not really a demise of morality is it? Just a play on words. I wonder what might happen if you put them as your tags. If someone were to type in 'cockite', it would bring them to Hubpages. so congrats on the originality score :). Vaginamite is in the urban dictionary and sodomite is in the Bible. The pics are funny though and a nice touch. Did you draw them?
Hello, Shadesbreath,
This is one of the funniest, and most entertaining and clever posts I have read on this site.
Now, when it comes to me, I am a vaginamite who absolutely adores cockites.
Brilliant! And I'm glad it's still posted, what with nipples and things being removed around here. The imite could work well with the ipad but could lead to another thing entirely then - the emite.
Thank you shadesbreathe for my lesson of the day, I never catergorized the three like you did but it all makes sense. Even I was able to figure out which catergory I was in! You might consider doing a "ite for Dummies" book with this vital information!
When I saw the hub title (over on Dimitris' site) my first thought was of Vegemite and I honestly - and all too causally & hastily - simply categorized the other 2 '-ties' into some kind of other foreign foods eaten by Britishers and Aussies. Thought perhaps Nutella has another synonym of which I am still unaware, such as sodomite or cockite, due to its yummy chocolaty, nutty flavor. Thought perhaps these '-ites" are just brand-names across the pond or something. At times being too analytical does spoil the fun!
However, all that vanished quickly almost as soon as I clicked the link and arrived over here - though I admit that the illustration of you, the vaginamite, holding what looks like a taco did perpetuate my misconception briefly. It was clever of you, I must say - in case of any content police lurking around.
From the beginning paragraph on, though, I didn't stop laughing and shaking my head affirmatively! This is the funniest, cleverest - and most accurate - hub I've read recently. I can't imagine how I missed it before. Maybe the thought of reading about strange foreign foods just didn't hit my hot button when it was first announced among the 'new hubs' of those I follow. Or maybe it was during a slump in my pursuing them. Whatever - I missed a good one.
I have to also compliment you, not just on the quality of writing (and illustrating) but that - in spite of the subject material, it is totally non-offensive. I'm not all that sure about its being the demise of morality. Nothing in it is new or recently practiced!
I dare anyone (alive, at least) not to have considered the premises here! The older I've gotten, the more aware and sure of the fact that people are dominantly sexual in nature. Maslow probably mentioned that somewhere in his 'hierarchy of needs' in fact!
I notice my squirrels outside (when they're not haunting my attic) busily fulfilling their hierarchy of needs, and sex & procreation are right up there next to foraging for nuts and bugs and watching out for hungry cats when the 'season' rolls around! Nevermind that the little critters are pretty to look at. Don't see them with cameras or paintbrushes capturing the aesthetics of it all. Nosirree! They are tending to major business. I realize that humans are a few steps up the food chain and evolutionary scale, but - not all that far!! Plus, we aren't limited by 'seasons' for it.
So thank you for making my day vibrate - with laughter, John! Great good fun! :-)
And thank you for the lovely comment about me you made on Dimitris' hub! Hugs!
ps - I started reading the hilarious comments, too - but didn't get too far in the lengthy list before I realized how many more there were to read! Wanted to add mine before the expiration date for comments! But I will go back & read them all!
Is there an expiration date for comments, Nellieanna?
What about a "now I can tart my hub up and make more people read it" date?
I have some stuff which I have written and can't understand why everybody doesn't like it as much as I do.
As if.
Yes, I loved this hub. It really is one of the most clever, and as you said, it moves close to naughty bits but is so well written and so wonderfully illustrated.
Many's the time I have peeked in, snuffled around, smiled, and wandered off with a giggle.
i wish i cood right lik dat cos yor big wurds an de way U right dem are so cleva!
Ha ha!
I mightn't have investigated, thinking it was vegemite, if it hadn't been 1) written by you and 2) recommended by De Greek. hehe.
My own philosophy about having or losing readers for one reason or another, though, is pretty much the same as it is about most things, that it's better to have willingness and genuine interest than not and better to do without otherwise. And if there are other factors influencing it - those are surely valid and not to be resisted (such as other commitments, which are definitely valid factors!)
One of these days I ought to curtail my comments and/or use them as hubs. But they would never FIT other circumstances as well as they do when spontaneously responding to a good hub, like here and this!
I just looked up 'purple squirrel' and think I'm in love. A marvelous appellation! Could be applied in various other situations than job applicants. How about to prospective mates or even roommates? How about to plumbers and roofers? Any human situation in which one's expectations and hopes exceed the possibilities? Oh what a good term. And it's been around for 10 or so years and I've just now found it, thanks to you! Oh yes. I'm thinking of possible opportunities to use it in real life. hehe. Great grandkids might be impressed! hehe
Anyway, it's delightful and I thank you. And thanks for grouping me with the elegant TL! Even his illiterate slang seems rather dignified and if one imagines him verbalizing it in that melodious voice of his - wow! , - definitely so~!
Ian - if there is an expiration date for comments it may be if the commenter has quit the Hubpages. Otherwise, I dunno.
Now I am obliged to look up "purple squirrel".
There aren't enough hours in the day, but I might be missing out on something.
Please insert drawing of "Purple Squirrel". Thank you.
I am only partly the wiser.
Purple squirrel?
We certainly are something.
absolutely brilliant. Up and shared!
Wow! Six months worth of comments from fun loving admirers. These words do sound like breakfast cereals or some new fangled cookie. You make some very good points here. Happy New Year!
So glad this has stayed up for as long as it has. Can't believe I missed it.
To each their own. Sounds like quite a few people (that have commented) aren't able to identify with any of the three. I think that opens up the need for another hub following this one... there's already transvestites, maybe bisexuals could be "vacockites" or "cockinamites"?!?, virgins: "masturbites"... Man, you've got me going. This is hilarious!
Great stuff. Clever, Funny,on the mark. I am impressed. :)
I am a vaginamite too! I can't help myself. But I refuse to make this character flaw my identity as a human being. No! I am more than my sexuality! Is that shocking?!
Only homosexuals identify themselves with their sexual activity. People do not need to advertise being a heterosexual because it is automatically assumed that females and males are made for each other as determined by nature. On the other hand, homosexuals need to advertise themselves in order to recruit partners.
Great hub and pictures.
coming back to share again...
Funny and witty guy... Brave enough to profess to the world that he's a vaginamite... but still can't make me admit to everyone that I am an ultimate cocktite. :D Hahahaha!
Thank you for writing this hub. This would surely educate my vaginamite pals! :D Voted up!
Love the sarcastic wit! "Sexual reductivism" is so dumb and shallow. That said, I'm a cockite. LOL!
This is hilarious, how did I miss this before? It showed up in my stream/dashboard/thread or whatever we call our main page here. Great stuff. You hit it on the head, we do seem to be defined for who we do instead of who we are.
WTHeck is going on with this hub. Ok I admit I didnt read the whole story. And I totally didnt know what to say or make or your title. Let me just say I'm bookmarking and coming back to read the whole story from beginning to end due to the massive...."attention". By the way I AM woman!
We do like to oversimplify things, don't we? Now that I am no longer the person I thought I was, I am going to have to examine some mites. Great hub. Voted up.
Ah, and all this time, I thought all males were simply biological creatures that wanted to protect the longevity of their species, hence, always thinking about having some might with their vaginamite (maybe tonight) thought productivity. I think right now, I'm just a write-a-mite. Love this hub, very interesting and some thumbs up.
Holy crap man you opened pandora with this one, you modern day philosopher you youuuu. Veginamite here but is there as a trannamite or would they just be called cockites or sodomites. Lol just eager for a response.
Ahh hell i spelled vagina wrong i guess that will categorize me with vegetables. :)
Okay I get it. Go for the "ite of choice".
One comment... A guy can be a cockite too!
Shadesbreath; I am afraid at the rate that I am reading your hubs; I may soon be cracking my ribs from laughter. :P
