I feel sorry for the little bear Cubs whose mo had to be euthanized for attacking people and are now living in a sanctuary.

Is there some other kind I should know about?

Do they play some kind of game?

:lol:

JohnJ

No, don't worry, Cubs can't play baseball. :P

So if they get paid that much for just running around with this thing tucked under their arms or trying to stop someone else who is doing it-what could I get paid for actually coming up with a new and accurate name for the sport?

I'm off to e-mail the NFL!

My money troubles are over.! And thanks Sally-I'm sure they'll be impressed it's also actually a pun!

Yeah Right!

:lol:

Won't that have to be the NFR?

malapropism

A broken crutch? [is that politically correct?]

Lizzy

Lizzy - let's not get started - you know how long we can keep this up and I have work to do.

But if you do want to get started a malapropism is a reason for a small plane crash - "It was flying just great until it developed a major malapropism." :P

Love ya,

Sally

WHICH WAY?

Donna Jean

Away from the guys who start running at you I think.

I've seen spikes on the shoes so I guess you can defend yourself if they get too close.

The opposite direction of all the 300+ pounders trying to pummel you.

And for all these years i thought you were supposed to run through those guys to score points.....

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!!!!

no wonder teams like the raiders and lions never win!tongue.giflaugh.giflaugh.gif

George Will on WSB Radio, Atlanta:

"Football is a mistake. It combines the two worst elements of American life. Violence and committee meetings."

Update; This is a real quote!!!

Being a woman is of special interest only to aspiring male transsexuals. To actual women, it is simply a good excuse not to play football.

Fran Lebowitz

The 'male' transsexuals part is technically incorect - but I thought it was a remarkable find!

Another good one:

"The reason women don't play football is because eleven of them would never wear the same outfit in public."

Cause they get paid like 10 million dollars a year to. lol (true though)

Someone can get paid 10 million a year to play a game, but there's starving people in the world who can't eat and sick people with no healthcare. What is wrong with this picture?

This is kinda the same problem with Washington. Most of the country thinks these people are all liars and crooks. But they get their power from us.

My dad was at the opening game at Soldier Field yesterday. He paid $100....for parking! What could that money do for a soup kitchen? And everyone looks at it like what's my $100 gonna really do to change this city. But it's a whole parking lot full of $100 to give to some guys who'd be in jail for their anger issues if they weren't playing football. And little kids go to bed without food every night in this country.

Okies...let's see if my rant kills this thing.

Nope. But I agree with you.

And feel just as outraged that the people who teach our children often make less tan janitors. Think what some of that money could do for them.

Or programs for gifted children. Our brightest minds are going to waste because they are dropping out of shools that aren't able to teach them. Given the intellectually gifted level of transpeople on average this is also that affects us. Look up the statistics -the more gifted a person is the higher the probability they will drop out of school and consequently have other life problems. Since other countries provide special education for their best minds we are falling behind in many areas.

The schools don't ave programs because they don't have the money-and look at what we pour into athletic teams and programs.

Tragic. But a reflection of our priorities.

Ooh, if politics doesn't kill this thing, Nothing will.

The right wing is always complaining that the government's too big. But WE control the government! Or at least we would if we worried less about what Lindsay Lohan is doing and a little more about what our own legislature is doing. How many people watching "Keeping up with the Kardashians" or "Kate plus 8" do you think can't name their own Senators? If half the people watching ESPN started watching C-SPAN instead, how much better off would we be?

Wanna know why so little is consistently spent on education? To keep us stupid. Rich people send their kids to private schools where they get the best education money can buy, so they can take over Mumsy and Daddy's companies when they retire to their private island in Barbados. The working class send their kids to public school when they don't learn anything and join the masses as a majority so dumb they actually believe they have a chance to become one of the top 2% someday, so they either don't vote or actually SUPPORT a system that gives 80% of the world's wealth to 2% of the world's population.

So vote and change it. It's the only way. My generation believed we could change the world.

And you know what? We did. It IS a better world in many, many ways-including public access to information and awareness of the rights of individuals, student rights and services, job protect. accountability. On and on. I grew up in the 50s and nostalgia aside it really wasn't a very nice-or even a very free time.

Besides-as someone wise recently pointed out to me-they even still play our music!

But do you know how upsetting it is to see the young rebel rockers o my youth now wrinkled and liver spotted?!

We don't control the government anymore. What kind of evil, deceitful person tell you that you have any control over the government these days? IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY! Also, when a couple of people 'on top' decide what laws or rights 'I should have' and 'what is right for everybody', it doesn't sound anything like justice. For heck's sake, and the people in the government themselves... I'll be quiet about them. Seriously, and why do people believe that they can't live without the government? Intense brainwashing? I'd say that it just makes everything worse. Never made my life any better for sure.

I'm not sure about public schools, though. I can only tell you about the ones that I've been in. I've studied in a school that is considered one of the 'best' and 'most prestigious' schools in my country. Going there was the worst thing I've ever done. I probably wouldn't have passed my exams if I had stayed in that 'prestigious' school. Also, I know plenty of great teachers in lesser-known schools [including my own mom]. They all agree - it's the students that aren't motivated and spend their time watching worthless shows, clubbing and shopping. Soon they won't remember how to open a book. I mean sure, intelligence isn't just books, but some things that they tell me are just freaky.

And about switching from ESPN to C-SPAN... Well, I don't know... Judging from the name, C-SPAN really just broadcasts more lies. How about turning off the TV? :] If everybody would turn off their TVs for a day... Now THAT would make a difference!

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      Except for this thung thwister: Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.

      Hi lovely people,   I'm a 25 yo MtF woman, and I've been suffering from low estrogen issues since October 2023. I completely lost my feminine libido, my breast completely stopped growing, my estrogen levels dropped by a lot (despite NOT decreasing my E dosage) and thus my dysphoria drastically increased. I think it is worth mentioning that, for my health issues, I had been taking ----- Lamotrigine for months & had been on ketogenic diet, and these things seem to be a culprit of my current issue. I weaned off Lamotrigine some time ago and gave up on keto diet, but it still doesn't seem to help. My estrogen is still low (44 ng/ml) and my libido hasn't come back yet. In general, I struggle with my dysphoria so much because of that and, to be honest, I don't know what to do. I've tried so many dietary supplements, yet I didn't get any effects from them. My endocrinologist didn't know how to help me. She only suggested to increase my daily estrogen dose (to 3x per day ------sublingual estrogen tablets and 3x per day ------ estrogen gel applied to armpits or thighs), which I did, without any effect.   Please, help me. Prior to keto diet & Lamotrigine treatment, I'd never had experience like that. I'm basically helpless and have no clue what to do. Having to deal with low estrogen is a horrible experience to me and it affects my life severely.   BTW, my T levels are always within female range.   Do you have any clue what exactly I should do?

      One of our cats is polydactyl.  He has 7 toes on each front paw and 5 on each back paw, for 24 toes total.   Another one, an ex-feral who, at the time, was free to roam, climbed 50 feet up a tree without having any thought about how he was going to get down.  His pal climed down backwards, but he couldn't.  He ended up coming down by leaping from branch to branch.  Which nearly gave us heart attacks, because he only has one eye and therefore has no depth perception.   The other ex-feral (both are now indoor cats) obviously does not have those soft pads on his feet.  At night, when we are in bed, we can hear him stomping around the house.

      The two o'clock Onshoring meeting was going well.  Taylor was leading, inviting other people up to speak on their specialties. Aerial photogrammetry and surveying, including the exact boundary, were out for contract signature  Gibson had handled that - Manufacturing was supposed to, but somehow hadn't happened.  Legal issues from Legal. Accounting reported on current costs, including all upkeep, guard salaries, etc.  Manufacturing was supposed to give those numbers, but they hadn't.   The downside was the VP of Manufacturing.  He had arrived at the meeting red-faced, his tie askew, clutching a bottle. It smelled strongly of vodka. He had never done anything in his twenty years of being VP of Manufacturing, and he did not like being asked now.   "Mr. ----, do you have the inventory we asked for?" Taylor asked politely.  VP Gibson had asked him to have his people go through the plant and not only inventory but assess the operational status of every piece of equipment.  They needed to know what they had. "I'm not going to take any f---- orders from a g-d- tra---," he snarled. "God knows what kind of perverts it has dragged into our fair city and bangs every night." "That is completely out of line." That was Gibson.  Taylor controlled herself.  That was a shot at Bob, not just at Taylor.  She was glad Bob was not there to do something stupid.  Had Mrs. McCarthy been talking? What had she said?  Was she given to embellishment?  Taylor took a deep breath. "I'm not sorry.  You f--- can take this stupid onshoring --- and shove it up your -" "That is quite enough."  This was the head of HR. "You can take your sissy ways and sashay -" "You are fired." "You can't fire me." "Oh, yes I can," said the office manager.  The VP took another swig from his bottle. "Try it."  He looked uncertain. "I will have you removed.  Are you going to leave on your own?  I am calling the police to help you leave." And he dialed the number. He stomped out cursing. They heard him noisily go down the hall.  This was the front conference room.  He actually went through security and out the door, throwing his badge on the ground on his way.  The guard picked it up. They could see this through the glass wall. "Can you fire a VP?" "The Board told me that if anyone gives me problems they should be shown the door. Even a VP.  I can fire everyone here. I won't, of course. Those were problems." "Are you alright, Taylor?" She nodded.  "I've heard worse.  Shall we continue?" And they did.   The last item was that certain business people in China had been arrested, and the corporation that had been supporting them all these years had been dissolved.  They were on their own, and the Board was dead serious on straightening things out.  After this meeting, Taylor believed it.  She did not attend the meeting to discuss how to distribute the few duties the VP of Manufacturing had done.  That was ultimately up to the Board.

      Lunch was at Cabaret, still free.  The place was quiet: it was the sort of place you took a business client to impress them, and the few other people were in business suits.  Most of the legal profession was there.   She told him of the morning's frustrations, breaking her own rule about confidentiality.  She asked Karen how the branding was going, and Karen had snapped back that she had not started on it yet - they had all these proposals.  Taylor had explained that it was important, for the two o'clock meeting, and Karen told her to do it herself.  Karen pointed out that Taylor could not touch her - her uncle was on the Board and her brother was VP of Manufacturing.  Nor would the two computer guys go out to the plant - they were playing some kind of MMORPG and simply not available. If she wanted the pictures, she should go.  Mary prayed an Ave Maria, but both she and Brenda were racing to get the proposal out. The client wanted it Friday for review.   She didn't bring up what Mrs. McCarthy had told her.  She wasn't sure how to approach it.  She thought of telling her of a 'something more comfortable' she had bought in case he ever DID show up at her door. It was in the bottom drawer of her dresser, ready to go.  Instead she talked about moving to a place with a garage.  Several of the abandoned houses had one, and they had been maintained well with China cash.   Bob had finally realized that when he was introduced as Bob, Taylor's boyfriend, that was just how things were done here. Other people had introduced each other in terms of family relationships, which were strong.  Long before you found out anything else about someone, you knew how they were related.  Family kept people from leaving Millville.    "What is the real name of this town, anyway?"   She laughed.  "I am trying to find that out.  It's 'Welcome to Millvale' when you come into town from the north, and 'Welcome to Millville' on the south.  I have counted two other variants."   "What a town. Roosevelt is like that, with the families, but there is only one spelling."
