My curse: insomnia
My talent: knowing powers of 2. (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 .....65,536 ... etc)
Well, as a child I was often lying awake at night, got bored of counting sheep, and starting multiplying by 2 instead. Of course, this was before we had the internet. But not, I note, before aspbergers.

My Curse: always feeling the need to be prepared for major natural disasters.
My Talent: being just out of range of major natural disasters (1983 Adelaide bushfires, killed dozens - missed me by 10 km. 2003 Canberra bushfires, killed four, missed me by 10 km. In Japan I've dodged two typhoons and one significant earthquake, by luck.

I have more but they're less interesting.

I used protection and have always known I was personally against abortion and am willing to do what is right if the slim-chance that it did occur.
I live up to my obligations.
I never stated I was celibate, I simply stated that if you engage in sexual activity with contraceptives that you KNOW are not 100% perfect you must be accountable for your actions... I have always been willing to do that.
Let me know if you don't understand this either. I'm sure there are shiny things about.

I object to the idea that a woman who makes a decision tohave an abortion is not being accountable for her actions.

Be responsible and keep your gooey web stuff away from me, kthxbai.

Rk snippy~Let me know if you don't understand this either. I'm sure there are shiny things about.~Rk snippy

Yea....must be the glare from your gross incongruities.

LOL!
I never stated I was celibate nor should anyone be.
I only stated that if anyone chose to have sex that they should be prepared to accept all possible outcomes...
If you have any evidence of the opposite, please, cite.

Circ's special talent... killin' a party.

that's right, just keep on thinking it is other people who are the problem. don't you get it? your cool guy "i don't care" attitude sucks. most guys gave it up in the 8th grade. if you just drop your attitude, maybe some people would get off your case.

If you learn not to take a simple debate personally, like an 8th grader, then you will understand that I really don't care. No attitude.

but see, there is the catch. people who really don't care don't usually feel the need to point out how much they really really really don't care at every possible chance.

I care about the constant harassment and stalking... that I care about.
It is annoying and rude.

I hope that one day you will learn that all your whining will add-up to nothing.

I think this should be aimed at a few people.


Seriously....double standards much guys?

This IS like fucking high school.

Oh sure, its annoying n shit when RK bangs on about the same things, but when some of the *cool kids* do it...its funny n cute and is basically encouraged.

And what gave you the impression it wasn't?

Function: verb
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French acunter, from a- (from Latin ad-) + cunter to count
Date: 14th century
transitive verb
1: to think of as : consider <accounts himself lucky>
2: to probe into : analyze
intransitive verb
1: to furnish a justifying analysis or explanation —used with for<couldn't account for the loss>
2 a: to be the sole or primary factor —used with for<the pitcher accounted for all three putouts> b: to bring about the capture, death, or destruction of something —used with for<accounted for two rabbits>

So - intransitive verb 2b: used with for <accounted for my baby>

I believe the unborn child is the one being held accountable...

I cannot seem to find just the right Smilie or icon to put at the end of this post. Do they make an animated one that shows a smiling face (you pick your favorite color) that is sucked apart by a little vacuum? Or one that is ripped to pieces by a surgical instrument? Or perhaps one that dies from poisoning?

Oh well -- I will settle for this one: :sniff: .

So, what's your talent?

:lol:

In what way has a woman who makes a decision to abort her baby not accounted for her actions? In what way has that woman not engaged in analysis and decision making?

I believe this thread is becoming my curse.....

Hey Doctor, Dana, and anyone else who is interested in that topic: Let's go to the Men, Abortion, and Choice thread! It's a fun place full of very dark things. You'll love it.

I should have not let that "sexist" comment hang there for months anyway.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming, sorry for the interruption.
:)

*chuckles* oh Cic, I'm well aware of the darkness that lurks in the Abortion thread. :P

No that was for army, I noticed that he has never posted in that thread. Or anywhere that real issues are being discussed for that matter.

I sometimes wonder about people that use their job descriptions as their title in chat rooms and message boards. Especially ones that need to have security clearance.
Army doctors would know that anonymity is very important in social circles like message boards and civilian haunts. It's comparable to wearing your uniform to the movies or out to a pub off duty......on base it is appropriate sometimes, but off base...not so much.

Hopefully he isn't using the gov. computer my tax dollars paid for to post anti-abortion fundamentalist hooey here on the cellar.

I'm only saying that because if he's going to come on here as an army doctor and not preserve his professional anonymity (security)- well anything can happen from there. Not really a smart move.

Welcome to the Cellar army...but you might want to wear some plain clothes here if you are going to speak on highly political and social topics that are famed for controversy.

If you are a Doctor then you are probably an officer and know that what you are doing is against your own protocol.

he/she is still anonymous and hasn't broken any regulation. he/she hasn't stated if they are a past/current/future doc, active/guard/reserve, rank, specialty, location, assignment.

if he/she wore their uniform and gave a television interview preaching the horrors of abortion and why it should be against the law, then that would be completely inappropriate. as it is, they've created a screen name in a faceless internet community and given their opinion. just like all of us.

My guess by their profile is that they are active and working in the emergency rooms.


I did not say regulations I said protocol. This person also has security regs. to worry about that I know nothing of. There I said Regs.

Well if he/she is going to be usarmy I hope they represent it well. I'm not about to broadcast my company. I would have to put a disclaimer at the bottom of every one of my posts.

I think we putting a little too much weight into someone's username here :P

Way harsh - C - isn't a "Party Pooper"

Hmmm...how does RK know about that night?!? I'm innocent!!!
:)



And when was I named Circ? That only makes since if you are dyslexic. Which I am. Sometimes....

Back to the topic!!!

My other special talent is procrastination. There is a subtle art to not doing something...and not doing that thing well. In fact, I can be doing many great things in avoidance of doing what I am supposed to be doing, which makes what I'm supposed to be doing seem trivial, less fulfilling, and downright less productive. My quality of life even seems to be enhanced while I'm running from the priority, but I seem to do it just in time, and it is usually ends up being awesome....I am great at doing just a little more than expected, just all at once. And my superiors still seemed to be impressed. The art of procrastination is just that..an art. You have to look like you are doing what you are supposed to, be good at what you are actually doing, and deliver the final product, that is impressive, in the nick of time. If you are really good, you just look like you are multi-tasking but you are really procrastinating!

twin, is that you?

Talkin' to me? Huh?

I don't get it!

procrastination is also a specialty of mine, and you caught me just at that point where I might really need to start thinking about preparing for Thor's party which is at 5 tomorrow after 3 soccer games and buying a new fridge....... I usually decorate the cake while the kids play pass-the-parcel.

Meh, I quoted you, but my post wasnt directed at you in the slightest.

I agree....forget it :rolleyes:

I was looking for the Special Talent thread.
I forgot it went through a Spectacular Row phase.
Never mind, all over now.

Still - I remembered today that one of my special talents is an exceptionally loud clap.
You might be thinking - yeah, right. You might think everyone claps the same volume.
Oh Noes!
I can clap SO loud!
It's all about cupping the hands. I learned it in my school production/ am-dram days.
And as it's technically clapping, Mum can't protest. But I swear, it's the loudest clap in the room. Noisy am us.

Okay I have also been known to whoop when family members are being acknowleged (niece & nephew for example.) But only when officially sanctioned. And I don't stand up. Because I've been asked not to.

Not going back on any of my curses, you've had enough of those.

Kind of ironic. Usually the clap would fall under the "curse" category.


:D

How so?
I give the clap big time.
Why the issue?

I've no idea why they call me Mary.

I had a friend in college we used to call Kit Kat...I probably shouldn't say what her special talent was...

Getting eaten?

It may be a Brit thing.
Fingers....?

Who would you do for a Klondike Bar?

Well maybe you shouldn't, but I think you have to now.

This post really made me laugh. I do know the logistics behind the loud clap, the whole cupping of the hands thing, but I'm not that good at it. :p

However, I can flip a bottle cap faster and farther than any of you! That is my special talent.

My curse? Eh, just being me. ;)

I just found a video demonstrating the bottle cap flip. lmao!

yeah, only two over here.....

Four fingers

Nice.

Just be glad it wasn't fork handles!

Ah ha......Sundae girl!!! You sound like my sort of person. We share this same talent (or curse depending where you are standing..or even sitting). 'Tis so true that not all claps are the same and some of us do have this ability to destroy eardrums with but a clap! My clap is also very loud and yes...it is all down to the cupping of the hands. I was taught how to do it by my grandfather when I was but a boy. Maybe we can compare claps sometime hahaha!

Welcome, daveyboy!

Howdy Loud Clapping Dave!

Hello
 

And a big HELLO to you, oh lovely Queen of the Ryche! Thanks for the welcome. How's your Loud Clap haha? :
