$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Schweinshaxe', 'D')o you have a safe place at home?
I have a safe place at home. I have a corner in my living room which is my “safe place”. I have pillows in there and a kitten. It’s not a real kitten but a picture of a kitten. When I feel threatened I go to my safe place and hide and drink alcohol. Do you drink alcohol when you feel threatened?
My computer is on my desk. When I want to Google something or look something up at Wikipedia, I have to run quickly from my safe place to the desk, enter
http://www.google.com or
http://www.wikipedia.com in the address field of the browser of choice and then run back to the safe place again (after I have found what I was looking for). My safe place has been equipped wit a 1 watt Luxeon LED light so that I can see what I’m looking at in the dark.
When I have to take a shower, I don’t have to open the door to the kitchen anymore. I can run directly to the bathroom, take a shower and then dry myself in my safe place with a towel [Handtuch].
Brown paper looks like leather but it isn’t as soft as leather. What does brown paper smell like? You can make lines (2, 3 or 4 millimetres thick) on the brown paper with a pen or a pencil. I have brass balls.
And steel. Steel is made of iron and carbon. And brown paper is made of trees.
If you push the rod in, you can see the dial spin.
Thank You!
Not a bad concept (a safe place). Probably similar in concept (though less expensive) than what a lot of guys try to have: (a man-cave).
I actually don't drink alcohol when threatened... I tend to do that to motivate me to do something I don't feel like doing but need to... like if wife wants me to read one of her scientific reports for college (although for some that might be threatening!)
I've pushed the rod in, and sometimes have seen her dial spin.
I really do need a safe place... with a house now I should have one. My first apartment I had a safe place... I had a walk-in closet with an Amiga 500 computer in it, and I was so safe there one weekend I was programming in C++ and I inadvertently programmed for 36 hours straight. I also had an old fashioned record player speaker system record hooked up through a VCR, which also had the Amiga hooked to it, as well as having the computer monitor and the TV hooked up... everything was hooked up.
So I could if threatened open up an icon on the Amiga 500 and run a Star Trek red alert graphic from Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan with sound, and it would play on the computer monitor, the TV, and the stereo system, and go into my safe room. (I know, pretty geeky, but I was pretty geeky in 1991)
An ideology is by definition not a search for TRUTH-but a search for PROOF that its point of view is right
Equals barter and negotiate-people with power just take
You cant defend freedom by eliminating it-unknown
Our elected reps should wear sponsor patches on their suits so we know who they represent-like Nascar-Roy
