“One of the
reasons it can be uncomfortable to sit with ourselves is because when we do, we
tend to open ourselves to an inner voice, which might question the way we’re
living or some of the choices we’re making. Sometimes the voice reminds us of
our secret, inner yearnings, dreams we thought we had forgotten. More…”

Lily McElroy approaches
strangers (often in bars) and throws herself on them, literally, as a kind of
performance art. See what happens as she hurls
her body at unassuming catchers.

Oversized

Erickson Beamon cocktail ring is on our wanted list.

Is it
just us, or did Jill Sobule do this 10 years ago?? Boy, she must feel ripped off!

Problem:
Things which suck are going without people noticing that they suck. Solution: Hater Pack! 20 red-on-clear
vinyl stickers which you can place on anything that sucks! Put them on crappy
restaurants, other stickers, or on your passed-out friends.

Morgan Spurlock fans

series that explores what life changing experiences are possible in 30 days. Talk about TV worth watching…!
·
As we
are sure you’ve heard, Boy George has been having a bit of a visa issue and
what’s coming up is mildly hilarious.
The State Dept rep goes from talking about Iraq to getting asked about Boy George, does a spit-take (!!), and
then quips, "Do you really want to hurt him?" You can check it out here.

Holy
smokes, my alcoholic family members are sort of on to something! Certain alcoholic drinks (obviously in
moderation, Missus Boozehound) are actually good for you. According to writer Whitney Fuller; Absinthe calms
the stomach, Gin relieves gas,
menstrual cramps, bloating, and cramping (it acts as a diuretic), Fruity VeeV Spirit (which is Acai based) packs
more antioxidants than red wine or pomegranate, and the original ingredients in
new to the market Q Tonic were used by the
Incans to treat minor spasms.
Bottoms up!

EVERYWHERE:
For Glamour Magazine's November voting package, we are looking for women who
will tell us who they are voting for and why.
The
challenge is -- every submission must have something
interesting/surprising/counterintuitive about it! So I need to hear from people who have surprising thoughts/opinions/plans
for their vote.
Examples: *
the military woman who's voting for Obama because she wants the war to end *
the woman who's writing in Al Gore, because she's so concerned about global
warming * the Rob Paul-ite * the liberal who wants McCain because he's more
fiscally conservative. It would also work to find a few 'demographic' surprises
-- the Latina for McCain, the Texan for Obama, etc. If you or someone you know
is casting a "surprising" vote, let me know. We'll also need a hi-res digital head
shot of you! Anyone game? This is due Wednesday AM. Thanks, Melissa CONTACT:

are from GirlieGirl in your email).

HEARTBREAKING STORY!! Dog tied up
while his Owner was murdered! - He's next to Die!!
On June 23,
the police found Mike, a well known and well liked homeless man, in heinously
and brutally murdered in the woods adjacent to the shopping plaza. Mike's body
was found because of actions by his best friend, his dog. Whiny Baby was tied
up, while his owner's stomach was practically gutted like a deer. He could do nothing to protect his
owner. After the incident, Whiny Baby barked and barked and barked until an employee
in the shopping center came to investigate on Monday. After witnessing his
owner being killed, the authorities and friends of the man, took Whiny Baby to
the "Onslow County Animal Shelter".
Imagine this
poor man laying there dying, not knowing what would become of his best
friend? Imagine Whiny Baby crying
and fighting to get near and comfort his daddy while he breathed his last
breath.
Whiny Baby
is more than 5 yrs old. He is a
black Lab mix. He is VERY FEARFUL of the shelter.
What animal
wouldn't be after witnessing his owner be brutally murdered? Then to end up at
the shelter?
They ALL
told me that Whiny Baby is a very nice boy. There was no photo available. The shelter seems to be acting as if
this dog is a lost cause. I am begging the rescue community to come together
and make room and help network this poor dog. Please, please, if you can make room,
allow this poor boy to live.
Allow his
daddy to rest in peace. Whiny Baby is located at: Onslow county Animal Shelter Ph:
910- 455- 0182. ID #: A017967 http://www.petharbor.com
Search Jacksonville City, NC and his ID number ID #: A017967, and it will show
limited info.
