There seems to be a bunch of questions that ask ---what rod should i buy?
anybody thats been around the block a few time answers " whatever fits your style, your budget and your purpose--dont buy it before you try it

its the same answers all the time and everyone puts thier $.02 in on the bargain rod or the cheap rod or combo

i dont know how the same answer could be handled without endorsing certain brands over others

i dont know if the site wants to do that or just give the personal touch and say the same thing over and over

i love the site and the people are great

thank for all

Wear loose underwear or none at all. You don't want to be squirming around while you are typing a post. Nothing is more unsettling when the fabric of your drawers starts to creep up between the crack of your ass. It's a major distraction which can be avoided.

Jake,

You don't seem to be getting the message. Have you noticed that you're about the only poster making these crude "jokes"? Not trying to offend you, but there are members here (female as well as male) who find these offensive.

FWIW . . . my 2c.

Oh, come on! Last time I checked, I was of the female persuasion, and 95 times out of 100 I'm not offended by any posts here. Life is WAY too short to get your bigs in a bunch. 1. Don't sweat the small stuff. 2. It's all small stuff!

Jake, I think your point here is just a little off.

I read this morning that another three of our soldiers died in Afghanistan, fighting the stinking war you people began and can't finish.We did not start the war in Afghanistan. we were attacked and we retaliated as would most every other country defending itself would have done. One-hundred & three of our people have been killed (by some by your so-called, friendly fire) and countless have been injured.These casualities are something that I am unaware of so could you send me info about it? please send it to me in a p.m. so we do not distract from this thread.
