^hey Renato ~ I grew up as a missionary's daughter in Campinas, S.P. Brasil! Hope to go back some day. As such, from the ages of 8-16 my family ran an orphanage, a Baptist seminary, and my Dad flew a Cessna back and forth into Matto Grosso and Minas Gerais "preaching to the indians". (I went w/ him a few times) I went to EAC, then when we returned to the U.S. I hopped around from Michigan, Texas, Alabama in high school.
I had two beautiful kids during my brief stint (4 years) as the wife of an abusive dude who happened to be in the U.S. Marine Corps. (So I know what military family life is like, big time.)
Upon getting out of that mess, I served as the live-in caretaker to a disabled retired psychotherapist. That lasted about 4 years, and was quite an interesting experience which I will not elaborate on here...suffice it to say that I ended up moving to Silver City, NM with said person and meeting the man of my dreams less than a year upon arriving. I have started and stopped my college education more times than I can count along the way, and still haven't finished! (Was headed for medical school!)
With that, I am currently homeschooling my son, helping my hubby with his business (link on my profile page) making reproductions of pre-colombian psychoacoustical whistling vessels, sewing/designing clothes (which is my passion), gardening, and hanging out on the sift!
You are all awesome, and I enjoy your comments!

wow. I think I watched the brave little toaster 20 times when I was a kid. We were missionaries in Brasil and people would occasonally send us VHS tapes recorded from Disney's free weekend & stuff... this was one of them. Yup, over and over...I don't wanna watch this whole thing or it might ruin my memories of it... kinda like re-reading a book you really loved as a kid, you know?
Great sift!

I see someone didnt like my comment but i dont downvote for ideas. However is my arugment silly because i dont like the idea of medical fixes for every thing in life even involving looks, size, brain patterns, chemical balances, abilitys, and so on or is my arugment silly only based on the fact that you disagree? I dont think your arguement is silly, like i said in my comment it can help people, all drugs can, but lets avoid misrepresentation, hell most the people i have known to take things like zanex didnt need them they just wanted to feel good. Does that mean no one should take it, no, does it mean that it doesnt or cant help anyone, absolutley not. So should we stop studing it, no, and i never made the claim to stop medical advances based on misuse. I see nothing silly about my logic to be cautious of pills being sold for one thing and could be used for another. Also the fact that i think the country has enough people with image problems to be reminded that it really does matter. I understand your problem. Hell i burn like a bitch and avoided the sun at all costs for most of my life and skin cancer runs so bad in my family im bound to get it. I also had serious weight problems a couple years back. You would think I would be jumping for joy for this pill but i dont think its iresponsible of me to hesitate and be weary of the consequences of wide spread use of this experimental drug

I'm sorry Jordass, but that is a silly argument you are making. Basically, you wouldn't develop anything because some people might misuse it? Come on...
and I sincerely hope that you never have problems with ED at any age.

Thing is, I will be experimenting with this compound. I will do so (for one thing) for the same reasons that people dye their hair when it goes grey. Its something they can't help, and they notice a difference in how people treat them (without those people realizing it) when their hair isn't grey anymore. They dye it because they can and they like it.

I had a severe sun burn that had me sick in bed for two weeks (I should have been hospitalized) when I was 9 y/o. My mother had me in clothes, sunblock, hat, and umbrella...but it was Santos, Brasil...January. Noonish. Most horrible thing ever. I could go into details, but I won't. Suffice it to say, all doctors I have talked to since have reitterated that I should NEVER be in the sun for more than 15 min, ever again, even with sunblock, or ELSE. I have to have all my moles and freckles checked every year. I have never met anyone whiter than me. I get treated like I am fragile. Since I can, I want to feel what it is like to look and be treated like I am healthy. Its fun. Its life. I won't get skin cancer. (The original reason this was developed in the first place )

Of course, this is all aside from the other benefits...I like anything that enhances sex. I don't care if it is an obsession. I think sex is one of the best ways that adults can PLAY, something that all humans need to do. Sex is my favorite play. I don't like video games, I like more personal experience in my life than that. Blah blah blah I could go on forever... thanks for reading!
