Terri Schiavo, Terri Schiavo, Terri Schiavo - (Will Pitt is all talk)

[yvr girl]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3304395

Do you think I'm in any danger from Will Pitt? I'm not sure that Vancouver has an official town square. The Vancouver Art Gallery is home to many a protest - perhaps that will work.

Just to make this an official Terri Schiavo thread - I think the whole situation is incredibly sad. My whole family agrees about pulling the plug in such cases. I hope we never need to make that call though.

[supernova]

1. I think people who want to keep TS alive

are those who have problem accepting death anyway.

[Pithlet]

2. I know that subject is getting crazy.

But I can't help myself. I tell myself I'm not going to post anymore on that subject, and then I see an idiotic post that I just can't help responding to. Guess I'll have to take my lumps from Will :)

Edit: Too/To. Time to step away from the DU, Pithlet.

[bahrbearian]

3. Can you tell me how many innocent people died in Iraq today?

[bettyellen]

5. she can walk and chew gum at the same time.....

what is this facist control thing going on....
these are the fucking operation rescue people getting a toehold here. sorry it doesn't mean as much to you., will, or 3/4 of the men here at DU. god forbid any of you pick up on what patriarchal bullshit this is.

[babylonsister]

6. Great point! News, what news?

Nothing happening, move along.

Protests? Iraq? Possible draft?

Look away!

[Pithlet]

10. So, we should ignore the right wing

chipping away at our rights to decide for ourselves if we want to live on life support. Last time I checked, more than one subject was allowed on DU. They are forcing this issue. If they'd just kept their noses out of it, this wouldn't even be an issue. There are too many threads about Schiavo, true, but I think the posts complaining about them are catching up.

[yvr girl]

8. Too many

I'm not keeping an official tally. The war in Iraq doesn't get daily coverage in Canada. Fortunately, we're not part of the coalition of the coerced and the mislead.

I believe you're trying to make a point, smarty pants.

[mondo joe]

11. Yes - losing civil rights in the US is inconsequential

and must not be discussed.

[bettyellen]

29. shhh, because it's only as important as the MJ trial, okay.....

this is the official word from the thought police.
who fucking let them in the lounge? i blame pitt for this. he emboldened them.

[bahrbearian]

4. yvr girl ,, can you tell me...???

[Pithlet]

7. You already asked her that. n/t

[yvr girl]

9. There is a reason I posted this in the lounge and not GD

Chill

[bettyellen]

12. poor baby, you are being harassed... it's a trick question too!

because obviously never an official count of the innocent.
some people want to enforce a one issue of the day rule. their issue.

[yvr girl]

13. I don't think I'm being stalked

I think I found another hot button. Clearly, they didn't notice the lounge location.

How are you doing, baby cakes?

[bettyellen]

14. i'm sniffling... spring has arrived, sort of. drove around with the top

down. bought some seeds to start. did some cleaning/ packing. forgot to take some whatchacallit. allergy medicine. haven't needed it since last spring.
what are you up to? i bet no good! LOL.

[yvr girl]

15. I felt like scratching my eyes out until I took my allergy meds.

I'm never up to any good.

I was busy all day. I found some netting stuff for my balcony so I don't feel like I'm on display to the world. (Bonus, it will let air flow thru when it gets hot.)

[bettyellen]

17. my eyes usually get bad first, but this went straight to the nose.

got a lot of fresh air today. LOL.

[yvr girl]

21. You have fresh air in your part of the world?

Who knew?

I tried to get pictures from the Empire State Building, but all I could see was a think yellow haze. Of course, it was during a heatwave in June...

How's the new job?

[bettyellen]

26. well, sort of when it's breezy. ny is usually not smoggy. and we

have a fair amount of those trees out in jersey. i love driving with the top down, but i forgot about this time of year.
i keep forgeting how loud i play my music until i put the top down and get the stares. it's the bronx in me.
job has been nice so far. really pleasant. i have a great view of the empire state building right now, a private office and can open my window. the people are very relaxed compared to some i've worked with.

[yvr girl]

32. Right now?

Please tell me you are not at work.

I get the same stares when I've got my sunroof open. I think I'm part teenager still.

[bahrbearian]

19. Poor Baby ?? What is the issue of the Day??

[Pithlet]

20. Tell us!! Please!!

[bahrbearian]

23. I quess it's how long we can torture people ?

[bettyellen]

22. apparently we are bad for not talking about the war protests.......

today.
next week, who knows?

[bahrbearian]

25. I'm sure next week you'll be talking MJ.

[bettyellen]

27. and i'm sure you'll be out judging your fellow DUers to a great

amount of none of us giving a fuck.

[bahrbearian]

31. you really have to stop posting in schiavo threads

[bettyellen]

34. i said that in jest to a friend, not to you......

and it was a joke.
get a life, get a sense of humour, and get out of here if you are just here to disrupt.

[yvr girl]

28. How dare I be frivolous in the Lounge?

Perhaps Pitt should torture me for this infraction too. Actually, I think they'd rather just snipe at me. Whatever. I'm squishing their heads, as I type (which is hard to do, let me tell you.)

[bettyellen]

30. i love the head squishing, i always hear it with a jamacian accent because

it was a rasta that turned me on to second city. it's even funnier that way, let me tell you.

[yvr girl]

33. I can imagine

I'd do it in a Jamacian accent for you if I could, but an English one is about all I can muster.

[bettyellen]

36. other than insisting on rolling in phillies, he was great fun.

that cigar taste is hard to get rid of. i went out with this guy who had been to jamaica, and all his video was of hugh fields. boofus porn. i always go for the obsessive ones. ha.

[yvr girl]

38. You do seem to have a magic touch with men

[bettyellen]

40. i certainly have little interest in the average ones...

or the conventionally attractive ones. too many writers and arists, that's for sure. i don't imagine my own spots are changing any time soon.

[yvr girl]

44. You don't see a Wall Street dude in your future?

You have to be true to yourself.

[bettyellen]

47. oh fuck no! never felt the pull for that sort of man it bores me so much

and i've never had much respect for people who are so facinated by money.

[yvr girl]

49. This doesn't surprise me

[bettyellen]

52. why do say that? it's weird how you give people a sense of yourself and

you're not necesarily aware of it. well, also, we're crib sisters too, so that accounts for part of it.

[yvr girl]

54. I forgot about the cribs. lol

Your past stories didn't include anything like a Wall Street guy. I can't really point to anything else directly - it's just my sense about you.

[bettyellen]

56. i only dated one wall street type, and he was waaay out there.

lets see 10 years younger, all about the money, big football playing type, plus i worked with him and he was black. no one believed us for a minute, it seemed so unlikely. we actually realized we could flirt and ehem more, on the job, because people would not believe that we were seeing each other. we got a away with a lot at the office. he had a great sense of humour though, he was actually great to be around, and never bored me with his money grubbing republican bullshit.

[WilliamPitt]

16. You're coming here in April, correct?

I shall erect a bastinado stage in Coply Square. Punishment shall take place at high noon.

[bettyellen]

18. you really have to stop posting in schiavo threads...

there's protesters all over the place looking for you, they are going to be really pissed if they see you here.

[yvr girl]

24. I haven't made my final decision regarding April

But with public torture to look forward to...how can I not go?

Is there a specific kind of footwear required? I hate not being appropriately garbed.

[mondo joe]

35. I WANTED to talk protest, but I was compelled by powerful forces

to instead try to discuss infringement of civil rights in the US.

I must strengthen my resolve to discuss pageant rather than rights.

[bettyellen]

37. .. i should just stay quiet while we become the united states of daddy's

gonna tell you what's okay to do with your body.
fuck that.
thank you joe.

[JanMichael]

39. Dear gawd! GD should be renamed "General Schiavo Discussion".

Give me a fucking break. Too much is, well yes, TOO MUCH!!!!!!

[bettyellen]

41. you got that right. now that there are twice as many stop talking

threads as their are threads about terri.... it's too weird.
is this jan or michael?

[JanMichael]

42. Both.

Jan Michael is one, not "the One" but one.

[bettyellen]

43. but sometimes it's your SO posting? i seem to remember that......

[JanMichael]

45. She would be Stephanie or Thtwudbeme.

Or me when she's lazy and resists logging as herself. I'd say she's about 10% of my total posts.

[bettyellen]

48. LOL. well, i remember liking you both! LOL.

[yvr girl]

46. I brought it into the lounge

I should be flogged.

[bettyellen]

50. context is everything...

and GD is a serious angry blob of ...never mind.
they can't goof on loungers anymore tht's for sure.

yeah, well it looks like a slow night for fllogging, i'm not in the mood for a catfight either.
must be them peace protesters getting to me. i'm mellow.

[yvr girl]

51. I think it's the Crown Royal for me

Plus the fact that I haven't had anything to eat since about 3pm.

[bettyellen]

53. whiskey is a good idea.......

well this is my favorite post in a while. and thanks for giving me that opportunity!

[yvr girl]

55. I'm happy to let you run wild in my thread

[steve2470]

57. dang you still talking about Will Pitt ?

you must be in love ! :-)

:silly:

[yvr girl]

59. You're the first one to mention Will in ages

bettyellen and I have been gabbing - and annoying people who seem to think this thread is in GD.

[steve2470]

66. really honestly, I was just teasing again.

I've been...ahem..monitoring your thread for my boss, Porter Goss.

[bettyellen]

58. well it was fun, like a give a fuck for that bitter disruptive bullshit.

the schiavo thing pisses me off, as a non- breeder. because no one gives that marraige any credibility because it hasn't borne more schiavos. they treat her as a child-- go to your parents now, because she hadn't given them a grandkid. if she had, they STFU and forget terri and make nice with michael.

[yvr girl]

60. You're so right

I hadn't considered that point.

[bettyellen]

61. i can't imagine them doing this to a man her age, or if she had kids.....

but of they're childess or gay, i think it's open season. it's the fucking operation rescue people... they've enabled fucking terrorists on clinics for years. it damn well is about taking over our bodies, and it pisses me off to see people minimize it and see it as a big PR fight against the protesters. it's opening a door for these fuckers, and setting a very scary precedent. i take it quite seriously and ooops, i forgot i left GD for a minute. where'd i put that whiskey.

[yvr girl]

62. I think you need to stand on a table and sing

I double dog dare you.

[bettyellen]

63. okay , i'm cueing up" freak like me" and climbing up on the ottoman ....

Let me lay it on the line
I got a little freakiness inside
And you know that a man has gotta feel with it (with it, with
it)
I don't care what they say
I'm not gonna pay nobody's way
'Cos it's all about the doll in me (mmm)

I wanna freak in the morning
Freak in the evening
Just like me
I need a rough neck brother that can satisfy me
Just for me
If you are that kind of man
'Cos I'm that kind of girl
I've gotta freaky secret everybody sing
'Cos we don't give a damn about a thing

Cos I will be a freak until the day
Until the dawn
And we can all through the night
To the early morn
Come on and we'll take you around the hood
On a gangster lift
'Cos we can any time of day
It's all good for me

Boy you're moving kinda slow
You gotta keep up now
There you go
That's just something that a man must do (mmm mmm)
I'm packing all the things that you need
I got you shock up on your knees

'Cos it's all about the dark in me, yeah

I wanna freak in the morning
Freak in the evening
Just like me
I need a rough neck brother that can satisfy me
Just for me
If you are that kind of man
'Cos I'm that kind of girl
I've gotta freaky secret everybody sing
'Cos we don't give a damn about a thing

'Cos I will be a freak until the day
Until the dawn
And we can all through the night
To the early morn
Come on and we'll take you around the hood
On a gangster lift
'Cos we can any time of day
It's all good for me

'Cos I will be a freak until the day
Until the dawn
And we can all through the night
To the early morn
Come on and we'll take you around the hood
On a gangster lift (Take you round the)
'Cos we can any time of day
It's all good for me

Good for me...
Good for me...
Good for me.

[bettyellen]

64. I've gotta freaky secret everybody sing 'Cos we don't give

'Cos we don't give a damn about a thing

[yvr girl]

65. It's no good hiding your singing in here

It needs its own thread.

[bettyellen]

68. ha ... that was fun. you know i played it twice and then "i didn't mean to

turn you on" the robert palmer version came on. that 's on the bump and grind cd.

[bettyellen]

69. i was dancing, not singing... sorry i can only sing throaty ballads when

my voice gets really hoarse. LOL. but i jumped on the table and danced for you.
how as it?

[yvr girl]

70. You got the moves

There's no denying it.

[bettyellen]

71. well, as long as the groove is nasty and you can move your hips in

figure eights. it's fun and easy.

[yvr girl]

72. I can move my hips with the best of them

I took Polynesian dancing when I was a kid. I'm just kind of lame with my arms. I'm lost when I'm not doing something symbolic with them.

[bettyellen]

73. well you have to control the arms a little bit, one arm should be touching

yourself a lot of the time and the other arm?... well no one ever notices if your doing the hip and touching things well enough. i mean if you're going to climb on a table, it better be interesting.

[yvr girl]

74. Tis true

If you make a display of yourself - go all out. Got it.

[bettyellen]

75. i wanted to be a ballet or go go dancer when i was a kid......

i just thought dancing all day looked like fun. i never made it to toe shoes, but have tried to keep up with the go go part.

[yvr girl]

76. I'm such an Aquarius in some ways

It explains the Polynesian dancing.

[bettyellen]

77. nothing explains me

bellydancing, except it really helped my back. my chiiropractor recommended it. and the accessories kept me going. nothing like a hip belt made out of coins to keep you coming back.

[yvr girl]

78. I had a grass skirt from Tahiti with red tassels on it

So I know what you mean.

[bettyellen]

79. i still have my zils somewhere.

[yvr girl]

80. Grass skirts don't age so well

It's been over 25 years. Not like it would fit anyway. I think my hips were 28 inches at the time.

[bettyellen]

81. well finger cymbals last forever, i just need to replace the little finger

loop things, and i'm back in business.
did you get some sleep, i hope? i'm waiting for the allergy medicine to kick in.

[yvr girl]

82. Almost 7 hours

That's lots for me

I still have the moves, just missing the outfit. I have several sarongs though. I actually have one from my dancing days and it looks incredible. I've taken it to the beach all over the world, it's been washed a zillion times and it still looks new. Amazing fabric.

[bettyellen]

83. i could use a beach day right now. i can't wait to go visit the tiki bar

and have a pina colada on the pier that goes out to the shoreline. it's plenty corny, but i still love it.

[yvr girl]

85. I haven't been to the tropics for 2 years

I need to get a fix. Have you ever had a Lava Flow?

[bettyellen]

87. that's a drink? hmmm. sounds good. i want one now.

i have to figure out what drinks go with what bath products.
kneipps hops is good with beer,
and whiskey goes good with theis caramel one i have.
it feels like costa rica was two years ago, instead of 4 months. that wore off fast.

[yvr girl]

88. I don't remember all the ingredients

Rum, pineapple, strawberry, coconut cream, ice, more rum.

I love the full bath experience....

music, candles, beverage and bubbles up to my nose.

[bettyellen]

89. oh that sounds good. i bought a lot of seeds to start, fragrant vines

climbing up surrounding the bathroom window. i hope we have a good spring for the sweet peas.
my moving date is delayed 2 weeks-the mid to endish of april. i am shoppping for a little bathroom sink to get installed.

[yvr girl]

90. I'm excited for you

I'm hopeless with plants. I got a badge for it in Brownies, but it's been downhill from there. I managed to kill a cactus because I didn't water it enough.

I might try again. I have zero plants at the moment.

[bettyellen]

91. i kill all the indoor stuff too.. i'm just not enough of a creature of

habit to take care of them well. outdoores, it's differnt. i just naturally get out there a lot if it's not raining. and if it's raining, they don't need you.

[yvr girl]

92. I might dress up my balcony this year

We'll see how ambitious I get.

Gotta fly. Things to do - people to see.

Have a great day. I hope your meds kick in soon.

[steve2470]

67. you go girl !!!!!!!!!!!! that was great

Now we DU'ers have to hear it in person.

[flvegan]

84. Who's Terri Schiavo?

Is she the mom of the kid Michael Jackson allegedly molested, or one of the baseball players on 'roids?

All these important stories to keep up on...

[bettyellen]

86. good work, we r supposed to be thinking about the anti war protests today.
