Holiday Moratorium - Part 1
I think this year really did it for me. It's been building up in me for quite a while but this year something just snapped. Like Morgan Freeman's character in Shawshank near the end when he tells the parole board that he just doesn't give a shit anymore about saying what he thinks they want him to say... I've reached the breaking point with the Holidays. I'm not angry anymore, I'm just plain sick of them.
And I am not a Scrooge. And I am not alone. More and more people are voicing the same sentiments: Leave Us Alone!! Please!! Give Us A Break!! Even before one holiday ends, the next is being shoved in our faces. Christmas music is playing during Thanksgiving dinner. A car bomb that blows up a gramme school in Iraq is playing second fiddle to the Salvation Army being removed from the outside of Target stores. When the earthquake/tsunami in Asia story was originally reported, it was hardly audible through the din of trembling retailers seeing lower than expected Holiday shopping. We are inundated with Holiday Madness... and it is taking over our sensibilities and being passed down like a cancer to our kids and their kids after that.
Enough is enough! But it's not just Christmas and New Years and Hanukkah and Kwanzaa... it's the diamond broaches and chocolate hearts and cards and romantic dinners and pink lingerie for Valentine's Day; it's the red white and blue outfits and flags and Yankee Doodle noodles and fireworks for Independence Day; the ever-so-somber services and retrospective reports for Memorial Day and Veteran's Day, the trumped up marches and TV specials and interviews and bleeding heart liberal remembrances of Labor Day; the rat in the stump for Groundhog Day; the new and improved and concentrated President's Day, pious Martin Luther King's Birthday, washed-down and sanitized Halloween, stuff your face till you can't walk Thanksgiving, and on and on and on. AHHHHH!!!
Part 2 in progress...

Hi all!
I don't know about you, but I've always been intrigued by the lure of Viagra. Now in release for years, it has become something of a Holy Grail for men who felt their best sexual days were long past, as well as giving hope to the rest of us who fear that day when sex fades into our twilight.
And so, after trying everything natural I could find (Tribulus, Spanish Fly, LoveRX, Horny Goat Weed, and VigRx), I decided to try the real deal to see how it compared. Acquiring the drug is as simple as filling out a questionnaire online and paying a small "consultation" fee, then purchasing the pills for anywhere from $1.67 per dose (quantities of 90) to $3.00-$4.00 (10-30 quantity).
Viagra works when a man is sexually aroused, the arteries in the penis relax and widen, allowing more blood to flow into the penis. As the arteries in the penis expand, the veins that normally carry blood away from the penis become compressed, restricting the blood flow out of the penis. With more blood flowing in and less flowing out, the penis enlarges, resulting in an erection.
During love making, I definitely had more stamina and "held out" longer, but not to the extent that one could label me Casanova. However, the fact that I was erect and ready to go only moments later surely was different in that my erection was as hard as ever. Usually, even though I might be able to perform a second time after some coaxing from my hot wife, rarely is my penis rock hard.
In summation, I didn't experience any of the documented known side-effects, which can include headache, facial flushing, sensitivity to light and other. . For me, the drug performed as advertised, but be aware that its documented success rate remains approximately 80%, so there are no guarantees. I'll probably wait until I actually need the product (hopefully in my 90's) before consuming it again, but a new competitive product has come (Levitra) to market that I'll try soon and compare in a future article.

Two blondes were going to Disneyland when they came to a fork in the road. The sign read: "Disneyland Left."
So they went home.

A man is trying a very unusual way to propose to his girlfriend. He wants people to forward an email to as many people as possible and he hopes that it will eventually get to his girlfriend. Details here: http://www.proposal-to-mary.com
Here is what he wants people to send by email:
You could help me a lot to spread my proposal to Mary – it is important that it is distributed as widely as possible so that it eventually reaches Mary. If you would like to support my proposal to Mary, please send the following text by email to a lot of people :-)
------------- SNIP (email text end) ---------------
WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS, PLEASE HELP TO DISTRIBUTE IT TO OTHER PEOPLE!
For a long time I have tried to find a special way to propose marriage to my girlfriend Mary, whom I know for five years now. I wanted it very special, romantic and memorable, something our grandchildren would still remember.
And here is my idea: I will send out the proposal to Mary to 50 complete strangers, people I don't know - hoping, that they will forward my proposal to as many people as possible, which in turn forward it etc. And some day, I hope, it will reach Mary, after it has travelled a very long way. I know, it will take a long time and I am quite nervous…
From the poem MY Mary will know immediately that the proposal is for her.
I have created a homepage ( http://www.proposal-to-mary.com ) where you can find the current status of my quest. You can use the homepage to check if the proposal has already reached Mary (in that case it is not necessary anymore to forward the mail).
Once the proposal has reached Mary, I will put a note on these pages. Also I will publish there how many people have read the proposal so that everybody can see how far it has spread and that it is getting closer to Mary.
And of course you will find there what I am waiting for most: Mary's answer! I can't tell you, how nervous I am… Will she accept my proposal? Will she like the unusual way how she got it, through the hands of thousands of messengers all over the world?
Please cross your fingers for me! And please - help me by sending the mail to as many people as possible, to help it spread, so that it eventually reaches Mary.
And here is my proposal:
Mary, please forgive me, as you know English is not my native language. And I am not a poet. But I mean it from my heart.
My angel,
Five years ago, I will always remember the day When fate made us meet, blissful Alaskan moments in May Earth spun around us and a journey began Love, warmth, happiness, enough the years to span.
The longer it lasts the more grows our bond And with 80 still - of you I will be fond Whatever happens, I will stay at your side Through good and bad, together let us stride
No second with you was ever wasted
You are the sweetest I have ever tasted
We have spent so many years - why not a life?
Mary, will you marry me - and become my wife?
Mary, if you have received that and have recognized me, then give me a sign so that I can continue with the romantic part of my proposal…
------------- SNIP (email text end) ---------------

Hi
There are over 4000 harmful chemicals found in cigarettes.
Why put yourself at risk for cancer, heart disease, stroke,
emphysema, high blood pressure, and clogged arteries by continuing
to inhale this toxic killer?

Job hunting or job seeking is the act of looking for employment,
due to unemployment or discontent with a current position.
Job hunting in general is one of the most arduous, discouraging and
stressful activities one can go through. There is no easy way to find a job.
Many employers will deny your application or refuse to accept your resume,
never landing that interview.
Common methods of [URL=http://job-search.dai.pl]job seeking[/url] are:
- using a job search engine
- looking through the classifieds in newspapers
- using a private or public employment agency or recruiter
- finding a job through a friend or an extended business network
