http://boards.survivoraddicts.net Dedicated to Survivor and other reality shows that keep our attention! en Wed, 08 Sep 2010 11:28:44 GMT vBulletin 60 http://boards.survivoraddicts.net/images/styles/tocantins/misc/rss.jpg http://boards.survivoraddicts.net http://boards.survivoraddicts.net/showthread.php?t=21124&goto=newpost Tue, 07 Sep 2010 06:51:44 GMT when I joined this site, I was two months into my marriage with "J". I worked overnights and would check in during my shift.

Things change.

Still working overnights, but the rest...not so much.

Slitter'll be happy...I finally went to the doctor. Had a hell of a cancer scare, but turned out to be nothing. 7 weeks of hell, but I'm perfectly healthy.

I became Noni for the 4th time. Kai's son Caiden was born the end of July.

I sold a painting and have other pieces out on consignment.

And finally, J and I are separated. There will be no reconciliation. Shouldn't have ended the way it did, but it had to end.

I find myself evolving. Sometimes, I'm embarking on new journeys. Othertimes, I'm closing doors and unfortunately, this is going to be one of them. At this point, I only have internet access while I'm at work. And even if that changes, there's more tasks than time these days. This was my home for so long, I wanted to come say goodbye. Thank you all for the laughs and tears over the years. For the SAers on FB, still see you there. For those who aren't...all my best to you in all that you aim for.

Take care,
Pam (aka Lion)

Now, not so. But bro might have taken advantage of the free shipping which adds days.

I'm just itching to see the scene about Hurley being in charge of the island. After all this time, it can't possibly live up to my expectations, but I still can't wait to see it!

_________________________________________

ONLY A MAN WOULD ATTEMPT THIS

Just try reading this without laughing till you cry!!!

Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife...

A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this:

Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest... The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little
something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse- sized tazer.

The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety......??

WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. Loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.

AWESOME!!!

Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave...

Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right?

There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target.

I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and then thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?

So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and tazer in another.

The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; and a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries..

All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference (loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries); pretty cute really, and thinking to myself, 'no possible way!'

What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best ....

I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side so as to say, 'Don't do it stupid,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny lil ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and ...

HOLY MOTHER OF.. .. WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . ... WHAT THE ....!!!

I'm pretty sure Hulk Hogan ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs!

The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.

Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a tazer, one note of caution: there is NO such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor! A three second burst would be considered conservative!

A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape.

My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs.. I had no control over the drooling.

Apparently I had crapped in my shorts, but was too numb to know for sure, and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head, which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my testicles and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!

P.s... My wife can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift and now regularly threatens me with it!

If you think education is difficult, try being stupid !!! ]]> Chit for Chat TigerLily http://boards.survivoraddicts.net/showthread.php?t=21118 http://boards.survivoraddicts.net/showthread.php?t=21117&goto=newpost Mon, 16 Aug 2010 11:47:17 GMT Wishing you a very happy day, hope it's a wonderful one :)

CBS Announces Survivor: Nicaragua CastShare
By Buzzfocus Staff // August 9, 2010

In just a month, Survivor will return to CBS for its 21st season, this time set in the harsh outdoors of Nicaragua. This time around though, the two tribes will be separated by age, one group over 40 and one group under 30. Expect the usual amount of fireworks (maybe even more) when these groups start butting heads and entering competitions. We suspect that, given the age disparity, there will be more mental challenges than ever.

Sports fans will instantly recognize that Jimmy Johnson, former coach of the Dallas Cowboys and NFL commentator, will be part of the Espada tribe. Johnson is a long time fan of the show and was previously cast on Survivor: Gabon, before having to bow out for failing a physical. At 67, he will be the oldest player on the game.

Here’s the entire list of new competitors, from the CBS press release.

Hit Television Series, Hosted by Emmy Award-Winner Jeff Probst, Premieres on a New Night, Wednesday, Sept. 15

Twenty castaways will compete in a tribal battle of the ages on SURVIVOR: NICARAGUA, when the Emmy Award-winning series premieres on a new night, Wednesday, Sept. 15 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

For the last ten years, SURVIVOR has traveled to the farthest corners of the planet and subjected over 300 contestants to the harshest environments. As the next decade of SURVIVOR begins, this new group of strangers will compete on SURVIVOR: NICARAGUA. The castaways will be marooned in a land of smoldering volcanoes, wildlife and impenetrable terrain. They will be forced to work together to adapt to their new surroundings, yet compete against each other to the stay in the game or be voted out by their peers. In the end, only one will remain to claim the million-dollar prize and title of Sole Survivor.

These 20 castaways will be divided into two Tribes of 10 comprised of older competitors and younger competitors. The Espada Tribe, made up of individuals over the age of 40, must prove they have the life experience and knowledge that will ultimately help them Outwit and Outlast their younger competitors. The La Flor Tribe, consisting of individuals ages 30 and younger, will have to use their youth and vitality to Outplay and ultimately Outlast their elders.
