Murder, She Wrote

The show Murder She Wrote was great in its time, but now in 2013 they want to bring it back. I do not agree with this decision. Tell me if you would agree to watch it or would you appose it.

HEATHERS

The movie says it's Sherwood, ohio but let's face it. There are NO palm trees in Sherwood. It's flatter than a man's chest.

Heathers location: ‘Westerburg High’: Osaka Sangyo University of Los Angeles, Laurel Canyon Boulevard, Studio City, San Fernando Valley

Teenage fantasies of revenge on the revolting, snobby ‘Heathers’ and the macho jocks are cranked up to murderous heights when mean‘n’moody crackpot JD (Christian Slater) moves into the high school of Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder).
This superb black comedy would have been even blacker had the original ending been kept.
Set in ‘Sherwood, Ohio’, ‘Westerburg High’ is a conflation of several schools, but the main location was the old Corvalis High School, Studio City in the San Fernando Valley. The school closed in 1987, and it's now Osaka Sangyo University of Los Angeles, 3921 Laurel Canyon Boulevard at Maxwellton Road about half a mile from Ventura Boulevard.
The funerals of the victims (“I love my dead, gay son...”) are held at the Church of the Angels, 1100 Avenue 64 in Pasadena. A screen veteran, the church was the site of the wedding of Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy in 2003 comedy Just Married, and has appeared in countless TV shows.

The History of Geisha

First geisha appeared in the early 1600s. After 8 centuries of fighting among the warrior lords, the country was united under a military dictator, or shogun. Tokugawa Ieyasu quelled the internal warfare, unified most of the country, and in 1603 became shogun, establishing his government in Edo (now Tokyo). This Edo-based shogunate lasted some 265 years and is called the Edo period. Under shogun rule, Japan isolated itself entirely from the rest of the world. During that time, prostitution was controlled. Special “pleasure quarters” were set up. The pleasure quarters became the places of sexual freedom. Exclusive prostitutes or courtesans would entertain samurai warriors. It was there where the first geisha appeared. These geisha were men. They also were called jesters (hokan) or drum bearers (taiko-mochi), and they were there to make the guests laugh. In 1751, some customers in a Shimabara brothel were surprised when a female drum bearer came to their party. She was referred to as geiko, the term still used in Kyoto instead of geisha. By 1780 female geisha outnumbered the men; by 1800, a geisha was a woman.
Even after the novelty wore off, female geisha remained in high demand. By the 1750s, the licensed quarters had already been in existence for 150 years, and yujo (the prostitutes) were not as skilled in the arts as they had once been. In fact, the entertainment of the pleasure quarters had probably gone a little stale. The new female geisha took the quarters by storm. They sang popular songs; they were fun to talk to. And although in the official hierarchy of the licensed quarters, geisha stood near the bottom, customers preferred the fresh-faced geisha with her shamisen to a high-ranked yujo.
The geisha in the licensed quarters were forbidden to sleep with the yujo’s customers. In 1779 geisha were recognized as practicing a distinct profession, and a registry office (kenban) was set up to provide and enforce rules of conduct for them. Geisha were not to wear flamboyant kimono, or combs and jeweled pins in their hair. Arthur Golden further explains:A traditional image of a geisha in the West is often confused with what was a prostitute from the 1800s. The look of a prostitute and the geisha is very distinct. Geisha tie their obi tied in the back. A prostitute, on the other hand, wear her obi tied in the front: she is taking her kimono on and off all night; she can’t have a dresser come in, so she ties it in front herself. Also, the image of lots of hair ornaments — it is also of the prostitutes. Geisha wear much simpler ones. (The Secret)
Under these regulations, geisha completely separatedfrom the prostitutes. Geisha prospered. The simplicity of their appearance became highly popular. They spread over the country while Japan continued to shut itself out from the rest of the world.
World War II also had great influence on the image of geisha. Japan proclaimed war against the United States. The Japanese were sure they would win because the emperor’s power was divine. After the United States bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan surrendered. The country had been devastated. The United States Army headed by Gener al McArthur came to Japan. Already a year and a half before the surrender, the war was having its effect on the geisha districts. The expensive restaurants at which they entertained were required to close at eleven, and geisha to cease entertainment at ten. Sayuri recalls the times of Depression during World War II:
Our okiya had been stripped off the things other families had lost long ago, such as stores of food, undergarments, and so forth. … The neighborhood association began confiscating many of our ceramics and scrolls to sell them on what we called the “gray market,” which was different from the black market. … It was mainly housewives selling off their precious things to raise cash.
The geisha districts were required to close down completely on March 5, 1944. Since the geisha houses were closed, the Americans looked for fun elsewhere:Even as the Meiji government had essayed to provide ladies of pleasure for early foreign visitors and residents, so the Japanese government thought to do it for the Occupation forces. Soon after the surrender there was a poster in Ginza inviting young ladies to join a “recreation and amusement association” for the entertainment of the Americans. It had a few gatherings in the basement of a Ginza department store, but soon became a cabaret for Japanese. The government early indicated a willingness to set aside a generous number of pleasure quarters for the exclusive use of the Occupation.
The American troops found pleasure with the streetgirls. They called them geisha (wrongly pronounced “geesha”). The new “geisha” had neither the accomplishments nor the brains of the real ones. However, Americans used the term geisha because it was easy and convenient. Japan lost the war, and the geisha their reputation.

Attempting to Reach Out (Update&personal)

I've heard nothing from my father's other family on the fact that they've told my father that I was trying to reach him-just to tell him he's a grandfather.

Thing 1
 Thing 2
The Cat
I let them know that i was looking for no money whatsoever. I couldn't be more annoyed or p.o'd than I am at them. My brother (rest his punk soul) had mentioned that they were a good for nothing lot and unworthy of him, but that's ultimately his choice.
The boys look a lot like my oldest brother-which is hilarious. One is a gamer-like me, into anime-like me, likes sharp objects; knives-like me, and a few other things, but ultimately, he's a douche for not responding with a healthy F*** off! just to answer me back. It's annoying...
The mother looks like her picture was taken twenty years ago since her hair was blond when i talked to her about 10-13 yrs ago. I was told she was lazy and makes my father work 3 jobs just to support her, their twins, and on the net i found his address that he has them living with him plus her parents...
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with helping family and it's easier to have others live with you.
I just don't see how he could let them cut us from him. He's OUR FATHER TOO.
Mother says that I'm just waisting my time. Perhaps, but it doesn't hurt to try it. What more can they do but deny me...
How many 7/11's could there in Z-town?

Do I Need a Ring 2 Get Married?

NO

Does the Bride Really Need a Dress?

No, not really.
You could make your own, wear a dress you already own, wear street clothes, dress up in nice attire, etc.

Just because Princess Di and all those other flashy celebs had one, does not mean you need a dress too. If your budget doesn't cover it, dont worry. If you really want that white wedding, than save up as you grow up. Until you have the money, you might have to have (gasp) a low budget wedding with all those flowers and pearls and blah blah blah.

Take it from me, its not the dress that matters, it's the guy you're spending forever with.
A dream wedding could take your marriage's eternity to pay off.

only the rich care if they're Broke-Ass-Brides

OPTIONS

Make your own

Have a friend make it

Rent it

Buy it

Now, if your guy/girl proposes in letter or in person is apporpriate, that's up to you.

Why should Husbands have the SAY?

1. In Maryland, a woman cannot go through her husband’s pockets while he is sleeping. Not even if she really wants a piece of gum.
2. In Vermont, a woman must obtain written permission from her husband if she wishes to wear false teeth. Because women really lead with their teeth in wanton, uncontrolled sexuality.
3. In Tucson, Arizona, women are not allowed to wear pants.
4. In Carrizozo, New Mexico, it is illegal for a woman to appear unshaven in public.
5. In Dyersburg, Tennessee, it is illegal for a woman to call a man on a date.
6. In Carmel, New York, women may not wear high heels within the city limits. They are obviously just protecting their citizens, as this move effectively disqualifies the city from ever letting a “Sex and the City” sequel to be shot in their town.
7. In Michigan, a woman isn’t allowed to cut her hair without her husband’s permission

Bullied Women at Abortions

Don't know about you, but I am PRO CHOICE. A woman should have all rights to their bodies and the life within. No, I'm not saying that a cheating wife should get an aborition just to save her own ass, but it would be her choice to explain things when he grows up looking like dad's best friend. I do absolutely believe that a woman who was raped or a product of family/family affair, than they deserve the abortion. No one sould have a choice made for them. A pregnant teen has every right to want to abort her pregnancy, but maybe she wants the option of open adoption or just plain give-up adoption. Don't blow off a chance at giving the child a chance to live just because it's an inconveniance or that it would get in the way of your continuing party life. Give the child a chance to grow up with posotive options. a family that could take care of them.

Another scarey thing is adoption. Giving the child blindly to others who seem fine could be fatal and sexually abusive. A woman might let her husband rape them at bed time. A single man might rape or sell them to pay their way or support a drug habit. A foster child might even get pregnant by their foster parent and no one would believe them except friends. The system might be believed that it was just a sleep-around symptom against fun. But what ever the choice it may be, be carefully deciding.

A pro choice does not mean murder.
Any state or facility that releases your file on the internet for the public to find is against doctor patient confidentiality and you might win for suing, but dont do just that just because you read it on the internet. Be smart. Make your own choices and do the correct legal thing for you and your baby.
These are a few REDICULOUS laws that bully women who abort.


Describing ultrasounds: Because requiring ultrasounds is not enough, technicians in Oklahoma, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi are required to describe what they see (eyes, a hand, maybe even the sex) during an ultrasound up to an hour before the abortion. Victims of rape and incest are not spared the theatrics.

1. Post patient questionnaires online: Oklahoma requires women to fill out a questionnaire, which asks potentially identifying questions, and then posts it online.
2. Provide info on fetus's ability to feel pain: Nine states are required to tell women how much pain the fetus will feel. This seems like fine information before a woman decides, but afterward?
3. Report inaccurate info on an abortion-breast cancer link: Out of the seven states whose required info provides material on breast cancer risks after abortions, five (Alaska, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas, and West Virginia) inaccurately report an increased risk.
4. Focus only on negative reactions: Most calls were about guilt over feeling relief. Yet out of the 17 states that provide info on possible psychological responses to abortions, seven (Michigan, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia) focus on the negative only.
