[QUOTE=MacTech] Sorry, but liquid spills or pastry contaminations are not covered under warranty 😉 [/QUOTE] Nothing is covered under warranty! I dropped my iPod and the hdd died, and apple wouldn’t fix it because I “abused” it! What kind of world do we live in where if I break my belongings by dropping them from chest level onto a tile floor, noone will fix them for free!? I’ll bet if I got a technician with a sense of humor, they’d replace my waffled optical drive, just to be able to tell the story, though. ---

Is anyone else here so naive that they thought “bearforestdotcom… that sounds cute. What could be NSFW about that?” Then before I could copy & paste it in another window, it occurred to me! :smack: THAT was a close one! To hijack about other Internet close-encounters, if you ever search for images of the Greek mythical beings called “Nymphs”, be VERY careful. You don’t want the denizens of Waffle House or any other place of business to see where that might lead! ---

You don’t want the denizens of Waffle House or any other place of business to see where that might lead! [/QUOTE] Back when I was doing research for a story being written right here on the SDMB(A British navy story) I googled the combo of “flogging discipline navy”. This was because one of the characters in the story was to be flogged as punishment, for having not obeyed orders to fire on another vessel. I wanted the scene to be authentic. Let me tell you, the hits I came up with were _veeeerrrrry_ interesting! And I did find the info I was looking for. Interestingly enough, it came from a straightforward historical article on a website devoted to selling, um, whips and other mild binding equipment. Pricey stuff too. ---

We made the mistake of moving in together after the first date, and so I basically spent the last two years trying to make it work. There were a lot of times I was happy with it, but there were also a lot of times where I just wasn’t happy and there was nothing either of us could do about it. We had hit problems in our sex life, and I realized that we’d never make it long-term, which is exactly what the bf had wanted to begin with. Ah, I see. Sorry it didn’t work out. > [@cb](#): > > And I wasn’t necessarily looking at pr0n. Well, I was. But I wasn’t necessarily. Sure you weren’t… and _The Dukes Of Hazard_ is a Shakespearean play about French royalty. ---

[QUOTE=swampbear] Didja find it? Ah, I see. Sorry it didn’t work out. [/QUOTE] No, I never did find it. A search for “swamp” in Georgia and scrolling through two pages of everyone in GA revealed nothing and so I gave up. I live in a state where we all fit on a couple of pages so I hadn’t expected it to take so long. Also, it’s OK. It needed to happen a long time ago, but he’s clingy and I’m passive and respect other peoples’ feelings. ---

[QUOTE=swampy] AWWWW… **Roo** you mean if I tell you that dirtybearsinthewoodsdotcom is really all about teddy bears that need a bath you wouldn’t believe me? 😃 [/QUOTE] I thought of you when I wrote that. But you see, with you, it would be so easy. I’d check out who wrote the link and _know_. . . no clicky linky. Easy peasy. But I didn’t really know this **chaotica** fellow, so I thought he might actually not have evil on his mind. Of course, that was partly my fault. Trusting anyone who would surf pron in a Waffle House can’t be the best source. . .for anything! :smack: I’ll know better next time. No trusting the bears!
