    Naughty Bits

    To be honest, I really just wanted to start a thread called 'naughty bits'. 8-) So, are we puritanical about sex? Are we uncomfortable discussing it, do we find the biggest turn-on to be the 'naughty' factor? Do we blush at the word, do we primly cross our legs and move to another thread? Are...

    Is there a doctor in the house?

    If you could trade jobs and be anything you want to be... and all the training was provided to you with a paycheque equal to that which you make now, what would you choose to be and why?

    Advertising Jingles

    Okay, this is a thread designed to drive you mad, guaranteed to have your head spinning for days... and days... and days... as we reminisce about old addies after which the jingles will get jammed inside of your poor head. Oh well. Plop plop Fizz fizz Oh! What a relief it is 8-) Does...

    Are we hurting our own kids?

    One of the most disturbing things I can think of is the lack of children playing outside. You can drive through family neighbourhoods, and you'll see kids, but they are always with their parents. You don't see kids careening along on bicycles. You see kids carefully riding behind the parents...

    Hilarious. The weekend is so-so around here, but come the workday, all hell breaks loose!

    I wanna be an ubergod

    Okay, we have a serious board 'issue'. Why do the True Gods of Posterification get stuck with terms like 'board expert', pfft, instead of having the cool names like 'ubergod'? And how many posts do we have to post before we get to be a guru? I wanna be a guru if I can't be an ubergod.

    Where is this forum headed?

    How did this awesome forum come to be? I am stunned by how much better it is than the vast majority of forums out there. Prior to this, the only one that came close was (is) Atlantic Monthly's Post & Riposte which I joined when it first started some ten years or so ago. I think I was member 12...

    How do we come across to minorities?

    Okay, I don't exactly know where this thread might go, but I have been noticing something bothersome while on my bicycle rides through town. I see, as I approach minorities of one kind or another, and especially Sikhs and old people (I consider old people a minority because they get treated as...

    What a Beauty!

    How important is physical good looks to you? What is your idea of good looking? How far are you willing to go to achieve your idea of beauty? Plastic surgery? Hair colouring? Make-up? Endless hours of workouts? Professional manicures? Tanning booths? Expensive wardrobe? Do you ever feel...

    Lost in the Ozone Again

    Am I the ONLY one who sometimes gets lost in here, missing posts right left and center, especially when it is busy like this? May I just make a formal announcement: If I don't answer a post that is directed at me, forgive me for I am lost. I am staggering up and down the aisles in here...

    Assumptions

    Do we make too many assumptions, all the while thinking we don't? Do you assume a beautiful young woman is 'stuck up'? Do you see very old people and assume they are kindly? Do you assume that the driver of an old beater is poor? If a person speaks poorly, do you assume they are stupid? If...

    Heritage: Tell us about your roots

    Peapod asked me a question that seems ideal for a thread of its very own: the subject of our heritage. Peapod, I am Canadian, from the land where one foot is shorter than the other (West Van) (hilly). I have a solid Scottish background, both sides of the family, with clans Lamont, Morrison...

    Nostalgia thread: Enter all ye who like to reminisce!

    Research had a great idea, to start a thread about our parent's reminiscences. I would take it one step further and say, let's make this thread aout reminiscenses in general, and our tales of long-ago (and for many, tales of not-so-long-ago). My father was born and raised in Vancouver, my...

    What was the last book you bought?

    What is the last book you bought, and why? Today I bought David Sedaris's latest book, 'Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim'. Reason? I have read all of his books, the man is the God of Wit. Reading Sedaris should come with a warning, 'Caution. Uncontrollable laughter. Do not read in bed...

    I'm Dying to Know!

    Purely hypothetical: If you could know the answer to everything... the meaning of life, the existence or not of God, the understanding of how it all started, how it will end, and so on - the Big Enchalada of Answers, in other words, but the price of learning these answers would be death...

    Quebec, the Country

    I do not think that Quebec is trying to thumb her nose at the rest of Canada in her desire to separate, she simply does not feel part of a country so steeped in English traditions. The culture, the people, all so different than English Canada. Often, when English-speaking Canadians refer to...
