THE PACK Message Boards

Vuldari, I completely understand what you're trying to say. I just can't see the common sense in garnering myself to everyone else and to have to assess everyone's needs. Unless they are a threat or I care about their well-being (and indifference is not painful - if I cared about everyone in the wor...

This might sound awful but I sometimes get tired of steak. I mean, I know I do my 'taste is subjective' rant all the while... but we have prime rib every night at my house. Yes, I know - that sounds excessive. I'm not kidding, though. You see, my parents own a Meat Market - it's been in the family f...

RedEye - the data that I'm talking about is type-specific: Areas, locations, head counts, documentation from biologists, conservationists, wildlife management heads (such as the US Fish and Wildlife) - basic site reports and investigations across Alaska. That's information - with names, faces, and a...

*Shudders* I fear people who prepare too late for winter.

I think of people without snow tires up here... That's a death sentence.

If it says chocolate I don't really have to care what it is...

Taste is subjective.

Sardines!

To me that ideal is wrong: I'm a libertarian. I don't believe so pompously that I am responsible for the rest of the world. We all shed influence - nobody shields me from the impact of anti-smoking campaign. And I don't solicit a product to be responsible for - I'm not a corporation, a politician, a...

To salvage some degree of respect for the government agencies involved with regulation they do have to meet standard quotas as do any law enforcement agencies. For those agencies, it can be taxing to focus on one specific thing entirely. People are out there regulating a lot of the wildlife and curb...

Duckies...!

It is really icy out - I just had to vault down my ice covered porch steps. Cute. I like the cold - but I wish it were, like, Lake Effect Snow. This January sucks. No snowshoeing, black ice killing people - All I need now is for a Yeti to walk in the house. Ironically, I want a 7-11 slushie. Or one ...

You’re not understanding — it doesn’t matter the wisdom of people's choices in your eyes: What matters all of us have the right to choose with the ramifications in plain view. That’s one of the few and greatest things about the United States, where I live, work, and play. We have such a great power ...

So, my cousin is still in the ICU with head trauma and a list of awful-awful injuries that have left her on a respirator, probably fully blind due to two shattered eye sockets severing both optic nerves and currently she's prepped for surgery due to threatening brain swelling. (Yes, my nerves are sh...

Heh - I edited a little to separate it better. Little being the operative word.

And I missed the ducky on the wolf's head completely...heh...

It was done in response to various parts - but putting it in Context-Response means reposting stuff from the first post... and we all ready have so much to say...

Sadly, we aren't like Figarou's ducks - they do all the straight forward talking for him in the end.

I have no such minions...

Figarou wrote:Ack!! Long posts!!

If I could....

.......I'd do away with long posts!!

Aw, Figarou, they're fun. And both are in well intent to understand each other... kind of nice for a change. Good, passionate discussion elements - IMHO.

Long, but it's a mass of thoughts in regards to this too... Not all that is desirable are things that a person should have. And so? Cars kill people more frequently than anything. Most of us desire one - if it should kill so many and yet be so desired should we not have it? Desire and want is all th...

I say yes because it's culture in action - and I am a fundamental context hog: I adore the wants of people and the drives of cultures oddities. I do not, however, have any body mods out of the fact I don't feel compelled to get anything. Yet... or ever (but that could change). I believe that scarifi...

Smoking is a Stupid thing to do. ...and I'm going to keep saying it until that message sinks in. I do not give up on the ones I care about...even when they think they have given up on themselves. To momentarily hop off topic I'm going to make a comment about this because this is a passionate argume...

I would rule campus and the surrounding suburbia as a dangerous and fat squirrel . Even if at home (I live on a 200 acre farm during the summer) I'd get eaten by coy-dogs, the cats or something else large and predatory like a bear. However, during the schooling season urban and suburban life would b...

My professor/adviser's office and lab when nobody else is mulling about; our luncheon spot and bullshit hub is rather peaceful. He'll be working, I'll be reading or napping on the lab couch. Until the inevitable holler ordering me to go get him a cup of joe it's really an amazingly therapeutic sanct...

I just bought the Dijon mustard ones too - but I'm saving those for tomorrow.

Lovely little fishies...

King Oscar Mediterranean style Sardines, actually.

I adore eating sardines...

It's so bizarrely addicting...

1. Smoke & drink more. It sounds negative but I get to choose whether or not I smoke or drink. I revel in that (I'm a libertarian - that explains everything) I want more of it; I enjoy it ... it means relaxing. :drunx: 2. Stop being nice. I'm tired of editing course summaries and Masters applic...
