nicely descriptive thread title

Mastrap · Jul 12, 2005, 09:54 PM

Link to porn from MacNN. Not a good idea.

ManOfSteal · Jul 12, 2005, 09:54 PM

Lohan.

Cody Dawg · Jul 12, 2005, 09:56 PM

I didn't know it was porn.

I don't think it is.

I got inside and it's just skinny (starving) women.

Mastrap · Jul 12, 2005, 09:59 PM

I don't know what you're looking at, but the first page after the age warning shows full frontal close up nudity here.

And why on earth did you have to post that picture?

Cody Dawg · Jul 12, 2005, 10:14 PM

Just to point out that sometimes skinny is...too...skinny.

This thread isn't about porn.

It's about anorexia.

Is this better?

Sarc · Jul 12, 2005, 10:16 PM

sick indeed. Poor girls.

budster101 · Jul 12, 2005, 10:16 PM

Some guy just got murdered by his wife of 3 weeks. He made fun of her butt.
No, he didn't say she was fat, he said she was too skinny.. she was acquitted...

Right.

Honey? You look great!

Cody Dawg · Jul 13, 2005, 07:53 AM

LOVE your sig, budster!

I want one!

About blogging?

I don't think so. I spent yesterday at the hospital getting CT scans and ultrasounds. Then I came home and tried to catch up on some things. I don't have time. Today I have to go to the animal rescue clinic to bring a beautiful himilayan there (if anyone wants a himilayan and they live in Florida let me know - he looks just like "Jinxy" on Meet the Parents) and then I am going to Miami to pick up a dog that needs a new home and bring him back up.

I'm too busy to blog.

Anorexia is a very serious disease. The girl in the picture is cachectic. A life threatening illness.

Hi Cody.

Cody Dawg · Jul 13, 2005, 11:03 AM

What a great word, WDLove. I learned something today - thanks!

BlueSky · Jul 13, 2005, 11:03 AM

Very weird, make no bones about it.

Yup, me too—both 'cachectic' and 'recalcitrant'

Gabriel:

PM me your number and I'll PM you mine. I'd take you out to lunch at NewsCafe if I had time. I get down there about once a week so maybe in the future. I'm already running SO late but I had to do a quick carpet cleaning where some juice was spilled. GOTTA GO!

Unfortunately it doesn't seem I can e-Mail or PM you, per your settings, but you're welcome to get in touch with me. Have a good trip!

Why do people say this? Her threads usually bring long discussions and are quite thought provoking.

There are dozens of better candidates for blogs on here than Cody. Lighten up.

BOT: I don't find overly skinny women attractive. My wife had just gotten over an eating disorder when I met her. She weighed only 85 lbs. at the height of her disorder. She redirected her disorder into a healthy fitness lifestyle and now works out aerobically 45 minutes a day and does some mass weight training 2-3 times a week. She could probably curl and bench more than half the guys on here and she currently only weighs 135 lbs. and is over 7 months pregnant. She's only 5' tall too.

Moral of the story: a little flesh is better than skin and bones.

You're doing the same thing she does. She simply elaborates her posts a bit more.

You should follow your own advice.

No no, they do two completely different things:

Cody starts many threads, posts lengthy descriptions of her own personal opinions on just about anything under sun, especially those things that seem to her great injustices and/or acts of cruelty.

Turtle, on the other hand, doesn't start new threads, generally. He just replies to others' posts with gazillions of smilies, thumps on people for unintentionally funny choices of words and/or spelling, and basically makes fun of others (and himself occasionally).

Obviously, the first of these two categories is far better suited for a blog than the second.

(Though this post is mostly joking around, there's a lot of truth in it as well. There are two kinds of people in the people: those who make good bloggers, and those who don't. Like me, I'm fairly certain Turtle is a thread-commenter rather than a thread-starter, and would thus make a lousy blogger. I have my own blog, but I haven't written a single word in it for ages, 'cause I'm such a lousy blogger. Replying to what other people write is so much more my thing)

OK, you have a point. But where would the 'NN be without the thread starters?

I myself am more of a commentator. I appreciate where you're coming from.

Maybe it's just because I hate blogs. I think they are vanity sites and I don't think of Cody as vain.

Oh, I agree—note that I'm not one of those who give references to the CodyBlog™. While I think Cody would make a good blogger, I don't see what the problem with her threads here is. There are quite a few of them that I don't bother reading, and I can't say my opinions are exactly in sync (iSync, naturally) with hers, but I don't mind her posting the threads.

Maybe it's just because I hate blogs. I think they are vanity sites and I don't think of Cody as vain.

Most people are vain, whether they want to admit it or not. I think someone once had some terribly bright quote somewhere, the gist of which was that the vainest of people are the ones who know they are vain, but stubbornly deny it to others. Since I readily admit my vanity, it's nice to know there are those vainer than me

Besides, blogs aren't necessarily vain, IMO; they can be useful tools for communicating with friends/family far away, or provide feedback (if you're an artist, programmer, etc.). And even if they're just your standard run-of-the-mill, “I think Bush sucks/rocks, and I want to say a sh*tload about an article from Fox News” kind of blog, they can still provide a sometimes necessary outlet for the blogger, who might find it nice to be able to put all his/her grandiose thoughts on hither and yon without having your friends fall asleep at you, or start fumbling behind your ears, looking for the power button.

Well said. OK, maybe just most of the blogs I've seen are crap vanity sites.

You could almost say my site is a blog. It is only pictures for family and friends, but you can see what I have been up to by looking at them.

It's a Photoblog.

Blog basically means online diary. Some are better than others.

Gotcha.

Actually, if Cody had a blog I probably read it. But I wouldn't want/expect her to post here any less.

Cody has a audience here already.

How many of you would visit her site?

I'd rather her post stuff here. Cody is just another person that makes MacNN go round.

But you two and your contribution has made it all that much more substantive.

Cody Dawg · Jul 13, 2005, 11:27 PM

Okay, so I could rename myself Cody Blog, right?

So here is the CRAPPY day that I had today.

I was supposed to go down to Miami today, right?

Well, right before I left this happened: I was attacked by my neighbor’s pit bull today, the same one that came into my house uninvited on Sunday. On Sunday it came into the house and jumped up on our 15-month old and knocked him over and scratched him. Today it barged right in and tried to grab my little dog and I got into a fight with it trying to pull it off of my dog. I had carried my children out to the car and had put them in then returned to the house to get the cat that I was bringing down to the animal shelter - my little dog was barking his blinking head off - and the pit bull from next door came running in looking for trouble. After I pulled him off of my little dog he was out of control so I locked him in the bathroom while I called 911 (the police).

Next thing I know, the police are at my house, along with animal control, and then code enforcement (he said he overheard what was going on with the police scanner and thought help might be needed.)

The people who live next door moved out and are supposedly having their house worked on in preparation for resale. However, the people working on the house are low-pay subcontractors. They show up and do cut-rate cheap work. One of them is laying tile. He and his son work on the house all day. The father is in his 40s the son is supposedly 12. (Why isn’t he in school during the day, I wonder? ) Anyway, they usually bring their dog with them, a pit bull. I know that the dog probably doesn't mean any harm, just got excited and then behaved the wrong way, but it was very upsetting. After the incident on Sunday I didn’t expect this. Anyway, my hand has a nick in it and it was horrible because the dog was so unpredictable. Had to fill out police reports and they confiscated the dog out of my house, etc.

The worst thing? After the incident they took the dog away and they said they are going to keep him for 10 days then euthanize him because he bit me. I feel terrible about it.

I also feel bad for the 12-year old boy. It was probably his dog.

What a crappy-ass day.

Railroader · Jul 13, 2005, 11:33 PM

Summer vacation. That's why the boy isn't in school.

Some day I'll share the trouble my dog got me into. Suffice to say, it's a long story and I ended up with a 90 day suspended and $500 fine reduced. I HAVE CRIMINAL RECORD. I swear, it's a not nearly as bad as it sounds.

Cody Dawg · Jul 13, 2005, 11:40 PM

PLEASE TELL ME?

Seriously, I feel so bad tonight.

I'm also afraid of those people. Honestly, maybe they'll try to break into my house. I have two alarm systems but the guy is one of those types that has nothing to lose and a bad temper, apparently. The guy (the father) got into it with the cops. I left but I think they might have been arresting him for disorderly conduct/something.

I went down and got my friend's dog at her invitation. He's a HUGE labrador/chow mix. He's also a guard dog. He's filling some secret need I have for security - he's asleep at my feet with his paw over my foot.
