  • in reply to: testicle transplants possible? #20876

    I assume you're infertile. I've never heard of a testicular transplant. Like kidneys, each man has two, so it may be difficult, but not impossible to find a live donor. I don't know if there would be a problem with organ rejection or "rewiring", but I've never heard of the possiblity. Sounds like the basis of an interesting medical-legal thriller, though. Have you asked a doctor about this? Just Curious

    My uncle was a smoker and died from lung cancer at age 42; my father was a smoker and died from lung cancer in his 60's. It's a horrible way to go. The pain is intense and cannot be relieved by ANY medication, even morphine. Many many medical studies have shown a link between smoking and lung cancer, plus other forms of tobacco use and cancers of the throat, mouth, tongue, etc. There's no guarantee, but it's stupid to take a chance and there are many other ugly diseases associated with cancer, plus - many women don't want to kiss or be intimate with yucky tobacco breath smokers. It's much harder to quit smoking when you've done it, so don't start! It's not cool! Just Curious

    I'm not sure what you find annoying about the phrase "good for you". In what context have you heard it used? When it's used sarcastically, yes, it's annoying. However, if somebody is complimenting you on a job well done and they say, "good for you", it just means "I'm proud of you" or "You go, girl". Just Curious

    If you're serious, ask your doctor. If you're not experiencing pain or urinary symptoms, you're probably OK. Listen to your body. Just Curious

    I've met others like you, generally straight married men who like to "dress up" on occasion. These are not drag queens. For a single female like me, there is no fun with a married guy like this (or any married guy). It seems harmless enough so long as it isn't an obsession and isn't always a requirement prior to sex.

    I'd say that 6 inches erect is well within the average range, meaning that most men fall into that category. Concentrate more on being a kind, unselfish person who wants to please your partner. Men are more hung up on size than most women. Just Curious

    Insecure people are always trying to find somebody to feel superior to. For some reason, making fun of fat people is not considered politically incorrect. I don't think those jokes are funny, myself. Just Curious

    in reply to: 50’s “secretary” stereotypes alive and well? #20843

    I had the same problem. I graduated with honors from a very highly regarded university. Due to my father's illness years ago, I chose to do a lot of temp work as a secretary and medical secretary, including executive secretary since my typing was 85wpm. My bosses didn't treat me like an idiot, but I was embarassed to tell my ntellectual friends what I did. Some of my bosses even appreciated my degree in English and asked me to compose their letters. I felt good about this, though was not rewarded extra for these skills. If you enjoy your work and are paid well, I don't know what to say. If, like myself, you find the work not intellectually challenging, think about a career change. Just Curious

    in reply to: Why should the President be Paid? #20844

    ShirleyAvery

    Good luck pursuing that idea. JUdging the "performance" of a pres. would be a political joke, depending on the prevailing party in Congress. The pres. is performing a very important job (don't get me started on the Bush administration) and deserves compensation. I feel the same way you do about his "room and board" and expense account, but those are perqs. While I might not agree, I believe the argument is that since many of our presidents have legal and/or business skills that would allow them to earn huge salaries & perqs in private business, we should pay them well and give great benefits; otherwise, only the indepently wealthy will be able to serve. Nobody goes into the presidency for the money. It's the power and, hopefully, the desire to improve the lives of Americans.

    Apparently, you're out of date. Check out Opera Digest and other Opera mags or websites. There are a number of slender singers - male and female. True, some are still fat, but aren't we all in AMerica? Just Curious

    I think that Conservatives want to keep the poor from getting a good education (though they would deny it) because educated people have more power and independence and think for themselves. Uneducated people tend to be easy to manipulate and control. Sad, but true. Just Curious

    Some are descendents of planters from France and Spain. There was a lot of interbreeding. Just Curious

    Unless you're referring to French Canadians, I think they sound pretty much the same as midwesterners, except for a few Scottish pronunciations, e.g., pronouncing "about" - aboot. Just Curious
