I just spent alot of time posting!
I see that, looks like you hit a small bump.

What happened?
Well, someone set up us the bomb?
I'm serious!
Oh, well.. looks like your post got pulled.
Augh! I spent alot of effort on that! How did it happen?!
Couldn't be because you were doing it wrong?
What the, how'd you get that video of m-- uh.. I don't even wear that!
Right Skippy. *cough* Well, since you asked, here's how posts get removed.
First, if it is against TOS it gets seen.
Then it gets marked.
Okay, I have that much.
Then the mods gather:
Pictured, mods gathering.
I don't think that's how it looks, I..
Look, do you want an answer or not?
...Yes?
Right, carrying on.
Then they back their vehicle up to your post.
Whoah! What the heck is that thing?!
It's a machine, that eats other machines.
With this:
I don't see what this has to do with my post vanishing, can you tell me wha-
Watch it question boy! I have a flamethrower!
You want to vanish like your dog did?
What the?! No, not Roozer too!
To be fair, your dog WAS drunk.
What?! Who would even... please don't point that flamethrower at me.
Right, and after they saw your post off the entire forum, they set it on fire.
Wait.. that man. His face, and fire! Oh GOD WHY?!
Oh, HIS post was all about his face, so the mods set it on fire.
After that, they used the ashes to open a gate between our world and theirs, like this:
BLECH! That's horrible!
And those tentacles! GAAAH!
If you think that's bad, you should see what happens when the mods get their hands on a bad thread.

Oh look, here comes a mod now.
Looks like they want to ask you about that thread you just posted.
Gaaah! Tell them I'm indisposed!
Pictured: Moderator, dunno which one.
Tell them yourself, they're right behind you.
Wait, don't run away!
We haven't gotten to what happens when they edit your thread title!
This concludes our sordid fictional tale.
If you liked that, we have plenty more in the book "Oh the horrible things you'll summon!" rumored to be written by IamnotaMod
Has it ever occurred to you that seeing you in your pink flamingo pajamas might be what we need to erase the image of you in your cow pajamas?
Just kidding. I wouldn’t replace that memory. I wold supplement it.
I was born in both.
I’m still confused by this roundabout way of getting the passports. I got mine at the post office, no appointments, etc. I will go there to renew it next year.
There is a special window for passports in most all post offices. They handle other transactions as well, but folks who want passports go to that window. Time saver, that.
I would have to have 40# of weights on me to go SCUBA diving, so I don’t bother trying to even get to the bottom of a 5’ deep pool.
As a kid, I was always swimming, and it’s as natural as walking for me. Sorry about your sinking feeling...
There must not be an awful lot of people in NC that like to travel. There is always a line at the PO here at the passport window.
It’s hard to grasp that you have to go through so much for the passports. :o|
I float like a cork.
(Fat floats!)
It's never the ones you want to see nude!)
It’s not the fat that keeps me afloat, since I could do it when I was 40 pounds lighter. My mother didn’t know how to swim, but she could float forever ~~ at 125 pounds.
It’s the natural bouyancy of the “Mae Wests.” ;o]
I wouldn’t go so far as to say I can walk on water, but I sure don’t have trouble staying on top of it. My son, now...if he stops moving in the water he will sink on the spot.
When I was in the Air Force taking survival training I was told women had “buoyancy compensators” to explain why men drown more often than women.
So, in general I’m for letting any boy who wants to be a Scout into the Scouts. They shouldn’t even be thinking about their sexuality at that age, and Scoutmasters should be working with the more macho types to recognize that being less macho doesn’t make you less of a man.
But now that it’s an issue and a policy, I’m going to have to recommend the Church go with the Royal Rangers.
You probably have heavy bones and musculature and little body fat. We chubbies float rather easily. You can try keeping your lungs inflated while floating on your back in combination with treading water and a little propulsion, but your lower half will still hang down. (I wasn’t always chubby.)
There’s a difference between swimming and floating. When I was young I was skinnier than a rail, and I still swam all the time.
It helps to have no fear of being under water. When at the Florida East Coast (I grew up in Mickey Mouse Town) I would get knocked over by waves often. I would just stay down and relaxed until the turbulence stopped and then come back up. My friends would fight to come up too soon and wind up coughing up sea water.
Of course, when I was young I used to practice holding my breath for 2 minutes or more just for the fun of it.
Good morning! I sacked out early last night after watching an early Star Trek episode. The turbulence scenes cracked us up. Mr. Sg wondered at their not having seat belts. Imagine the braincase events when those warp-speed things happen.
Off to do more errands. Have a great day, y’all!
That works! LOL! Plus, women have more body fat per pound than men do, so I can understand it all!
I was so dismayed at the decision of the Scouts that I just felt the world was missing so much information.
But the Bible says we will be in treacherous times, so it shouldn’t be totally unexpected. We just need to be prepared, no matter what.
Even as a skinny kid, I had to fight to get to the bottom of the 3’ water in the kiddie end of the pool.
I think it has to do with total body density than anything else. My arms and legs are still solid (I am not “soft” like my daughter is) and yet, I float. I always have.
I read a good article in World today that reinforced what I used to tell my children. Your sexual urges don’t define you. If they do, you are most to be pitied. Are you a different person when your sexual desires begin to awaken? Are you a different person when you get through the fiery times of adolescence and settle down? Is a woman a different person after menopause? Is a man when making love is more about the love than the sex?
I am defined as one of two things. I am either a child of God, or I am a creature of the earth. Everything else is an expression of one of those two. My sexuality, my job, my marital state, my hobbies, none of those define me.
