"No, I am not a teacher."

"I am awake", Buddha replied.

Would a Bodhisattva drive an e90? well, i dunno... cant speak for them.

"I gotta feva, and the only prescription, is more cowbell"- Bruce Dickinson

Kiemyster · 06-22-2007, 08:11 PM

Accept everything about yourself--I mean everything. You are you and that is the beginning and the end--no apologies, no regrets.

In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

We had a guy who bought a BMW for his wife on a Tuesday. She went out on Friday night, came back at 3 a.m., and acted funny all weekend. He took the car back to BMW and had the seat taken apart and sent to us for testing - and he caught her.

Love is the answer, but while your waiting, sex raises some pretty good questions.

Sex releivs tension - love causes it!

Condoms arent completely safe. A friend of mine was wearing one and got hit by a bus!

Why should we take advice on sex from the pope? If he knows anything about it, he shouldn't!
