Dennis Leber replied to Chris Hamm's discussion Who Wears a Watch Anymore?"A gentleman wears a watch, I own several, some high end and some $20 ones. At work it presents a image of professionalism, it is a sign of power, distinguish, and manliness. Plus most importantly women notice and like it. "
William L. Unkel replied to Chris Hamm's discussion Who Wears a Watch Anymore?"There are a lot of professions (jobs) that require that you put that cell phone away during the daily work schedule.

Nice choice."

That said, I will get the battery…"
Jason Detwiler replied to Chris Hamm's discussion Who Wears a Watch Anymore?"Yes, wearing a watch is much more convenient than pulling out my phone to check the time.

A Tattoo To Remind Me
Posted on March 10, 2010 at 12:43am 4 Comments 0 Likes
So I've been thinking of getting another tattoo and here's my thoughts. I've had issues with depression for about as long as I can remember. I've come to the conclusion that it is probably something that will never be "cured" just as an alcoholic will always be an alcoholic.

Anti-depressants not cutting it anymore. Not interacting with my kids or wife. Staring at the computer screen. Everything grey. Things have to get better.

Nothing profound I just felt the need to let everyone know I had a great night with my girls. They're great kids and I'm having a moment where I realize how lucky I am.

Dallas the Phallus said… - Thanks for joining APHRODISIA. We already have several discussions going on, so please feel free to jump in, or to start your own.
Don't be confused by all the rules. They are pretty simple:
1. Just ID your discussion (in the title) for content.
2. No links without identifying what they are for.
3. No porn, per Ning ToS. Anything racy must have NSFW included.
Note that because it is a private group, the icon will not appear in your “groups” section.
