Sorry about this, but please just give security your I.D. – we don’t want no trouble.
Okay now that you’re in, Look our Bar Room. :silly: :cheerful: Annie Decorated it and I think she’s done a FABULOUS job!!!!! Thanks Annie!!!!
After, if you are still walking, talking and coherent you might want to stop by our gift shop!!!!
N O W S E R V I N G :
Hey there handsome, excuse me for a minute I’ll be right with ya’ 
MENU LIST:
N E W ON THE M E N U!:
DDD, also served by the bottle
Dirty Dirty Dirty Diana
INTRODUCING The dirty, Dirty, DIRTY DIANA: Some of you addicts have been pretending. And it’s really not necessary. When you come into the bar, have a seat. Your drink has already been prepared. We’ll even serve you the bottle. After all, it’s got your name on it. :yes: :alien:
Warning: Do NOT Mix this drink with Bad Boy Shots. We’ve heard some stories, let me tell ya!
Bad Boy Shot
THE BAD BOY SHOT: Let’s face it, you’re not a good girl and you’ve never been one. You need something strong in ya and this big, black bottle IS IT. One shot is usually enough though we at CCC already know that’s not all you want. Pure Testosterone, raw masculinity infused with some BAD a$$ attitude – all you need to do is open up, throw this one back and wait for it.
:pouty: :sick: Warning (Drink Responsibly)
MJ
- MJ, Too
MJ: We’ve taken this infusion of all natural MJ bodily extracts and perfectly blended it into this refreshingly, naturally sweet and tangy citrus beverage we all ooooooof course, MJ. And we swear, it taste just like JUICE! We can’t really explain what it will do to you — experience it for yourself. You’ll understand after your very first swallow. :whistle:
A Wet Sabah -- Creamy Sabah w/ just a hint of Michael in her.
A Wet Sabah: Creamy Sabah w/ just a hint of Michael in her.
In honor of our favorite couple’s special night we at CCC have created two special drinks:
CHASTITY and UNLEASHED
Ms. CHASTITY
MS. CHASTITY: Coy and uninhibited, sweet and sincere. Remember when you were without fear, honest and whole — do you want to feel like that little girl again; do you want to experience, if only for a moment, the blissfulness of youth? Enjoy, Saniia’s Ms. CHASTITY. Experience the quality that captured Michael’s heart. INNOCENCE IS INTOXICATING.
Unleashed
UNLEASHED: Years of discipline, control and abstinence can only result in one thing: UNLEASHED. We were there. We captured it. We bottled it. Taste the flavor of unbridled passion.
Liquid CobraCrack™
Liquid CobraCrack ™
LIQUID COBRACRACK™ There hasn’t been a chapter uploaded for days! Your internet connection is on the blitz and you can’t find your IPod. Your family and friends have completely disassociated themselves from you because you’ve become a walking zombie. Not one of them understands why you’ve been staring at the blank screen of your computer for days now. But if you don’t get some Michael in you and in you quick, you will just explode!
Due to the number of addicts jonesing outside of CCC we rolled up our sleeves and created this TEMPORARY infusion of Michael in the form of Liquid CobraCrack ™. Stock up now while supplies last. Keep some in the back of your fridge, in the garage, under your desk at work and in your nightstand. Never be without Michael again!!! But Be Warned: Liquid CobraCrack ™ is equally as addictive as the real thing and there is a high likelihood of developing a tolerance very quickly. :sad: You really just can’t replace the real thing!!!!
The cool, refreshing boyish joy of Michael in your glass.
MINTY MIKE: Inspired by Sonia: We were just goofing off, experimenting when we took Michael’s cool smile, his refreshingly sincere good nature, his boyish charm and added just a dash of delight and to our surprise, POOF!!! A Minty Mike appeared! One sip and we couldn’t stop laughing!!! Almost scientifically identical to the chemical compound of JOY, this drink will chase away any and all of your blues and put a peppermint — permanent smile on your face. Enjoy!
Creamy Sabah
CREAMY SABAH: Creamy Chocolate Mike w/ just a hint of Sabah. We searched high and low for a non-x-rated picture that we could put up and this is what we came up with — WHEWWWW!!!!
Pure
Prince Michael’s PURE – Cool, Sweet and light as mist, this magical drink refreshingly satisfies your craving for Prince Michael without the calories or the alcohol. Passion distilled to its purest form, PURE WILL cure your thirst . . . but alas not your desire. Feel free to drink it all day and all night but be warned, Prince Michael always leaves you wanting more.
:wub: L.O.V.E.:When it comes to shots, we don’t offer anything that is more electrifying. We are serving the pure essence of Michael. It IS all that he had ever stood for and nothing more. People who met him basked in its warmth. It was in his words, his actions, his demeanor, his behavior and most of all, his smile. He simply exuded it from his pores. He gave and never asked for anything in return and now we offer the same to you.
If you’re feeling down and you need a pick me up; if you have been hit with a dose of negativity and need something to chase it away, we present to you something that will fill you with only the most natural of highs. It is ten times stronger than any of our other drinks and lasts twice as long: L.O.V.E. Have a shot today and experience the love of Michael Jackson. ***If you experience an immediate sense of peace, joy and contentment, don’t be alarmed that’s the magic of Michael in your system.
Chocolate Covered Mike
CHOCOLATE COVERED MIKE: For those of us with a sweet tooth introducing, Chocolate covered Mike. It’s decadently sweet, addictive, satisfying and unbelievably good for you. It’s just too perfect, OMG!!!!
- Sangre
SANGRE: Other establishments serve Sangria. We serve Sangre. Simply put, this sensually, seductive mixture of perfectly blended fruit, aged wine and just a tinsy weensy drop of Michael’s blood will invade your system and change your personality FOREVER. Undercover cameras captured the woman in the picture above seconds after she took one sip – we are not even sure she had a chance to swallow. Michael NEVER knew what hit him but I hear he was smiling for days afterward. Try it – if you’re woman enough. :devil:
The Force - it has a lot of power!
THE FORCE: This drink is served with a resuscitation kit. I don’t’ think I need to say more!
The Prince Royale
THE PRINCE ROYALE: You’re a lady, and you know truthfully that is the only kind of woman who can capture Michael’s heart. You only drink to relax, not to get drunk like some of the lesser women who frequent Da Smooth Criminal. You’re not interested in cheap sex, you want a life time commitment from the object of your affection. Your drink will be served in our finest crystal, the ones etched in gold, on a silver platter in the VIP section of the bar. The smooth and fruity undertones of this vintage wine will peel away the layers of your resistance until you are as free from your inhibitions as any Creamy Mike lover. The only difference is you’ve done it with style. The price of this drink only reflects your superior self-worth. Go ahead splurge. You’re worth it! And Michael will definitely take notice. He enjoys the finer things in life and so do you.
Thug Passion
THUG PASSION: Okay it’s no Michael but you’re strapped for cash. The flavor doesn’t last as long but it’s just a ‘lil something to keep you going until you can get a REAL drink. A favorite of our financially challenged customers. What you see is what you get and damn, come on girls, you have to admit, it looks good as hell.
THE MABHA * Michael chose the name so excuse the spelling : )
THE MABHA: A smooth and tangy combination of Sabah and Michael with a twist and zesty kick at the end. Don’t nurse it, ’cause it get’s flat. Drink it while it still has that sizzle!
THE GENTLEMAN
THE GENTLEMAN WILL stay in you all night and will also be the first thing you feel when you wake up in the morning. Now let’s be clear: It’s not a hangover. It’s better than a hangover. It’s a HANG ON I’M CUMIN’.
Cool, milky, deceptively sweet.
THE MIKEGASM: Hands down, our most popular drink! Cool, Milky and deceptively sweet, you won’t see where the bang is coming from but IT WILL hit ya!!!!! What’s worst, you’ll keep ordering it anyway. We can’t explain why it explodes in your mouth, we just know we like it!!!! Make sure you have a designated driver if you start throwing back this one. We’re not going to take responsibility and you WON’T have just one.
Mr. M, Home Brewed Right Here at CCC daily!
MR. M: This is our signature beer. We brew it on the premises but if you’re watching yourself, you can get our light version instead.
Mrs. M, For Our Lady Cowgirls who WANNA remember the good times!
MRS. M: The light version of our homemade brew, for our responsible drinkers who also want to make it home in one piece.
Holoma's Soup
HOLOMA’S SOUP: This deceptively potent drink has babies popping up all over the place and since Michael loves da kids, we just can’t take it off the menu. It’s spicy and fruity and served with a strangely cool mist circling up top. Don’t mind the woman in the back hovering over the cauldron. She mixes a big batch of it every morning and though we’ve never asked for a specific list of ingredients, she says that it’s all natural and we trust her!!!
Creamy Mike
Creamy Mike w/ Extra Creme
CREAMY MIKE: (Inspired by Annie) Pure milk chocolate, lightened to perfection with thick, heavy cream and a blend of exotic liqueurs, the taste of this drink will linger in your mouth for hours. You’ll find yourself constantly licking your lips and thinking about it even after you’ve cleaned the last drop out of the glass with your finger. So delicious we naturally prepare two when it’s ordered because everyone gulps them down so quickly. BE WARNED: This drink WILL give you a particularly wicked alcoholic sugar rush. A number of women find it very difficult to keep their legs closed even after one small sip.
The Foreplay
THE FOREPLAY: (Inspired by Martinigirl) Trust me. Looks CAN be deceiving. This seemingly happy go lucky drink will put you flat on your back and keep you there. No matter what you’ve heard YOU ARE NOT READY for this drink. The tangy taste of pineapples smothered in Amaretto and Southern Comfort will knock you right off your feet – literally. Once on your back, you WILL stay there for days . . . and nights. I took this off the menu because I lost a couplah return customers. It’s served with a life size cut out of the Michael pic above. A bunch of people ordered, left and were never seen again.
Golden Boy
THE GOLDEN BOY: (Inspired by Enola) From the moment this Martini came into existence we knew it was special. Inexplicably sliding down your throat like icy cold molten lava, we struggled to formulate an adequate description. Fearing, because the drink was so powerful, that we would face multiple law suits if we put this volatile concoction on our menu we decided in the end it would only be safe to offer ONE drink PER PERSON per LIFE TIME. Ladies, ladies, before you protest, please try and understand: The Martini . . . shakes/stirs itself! (Cue dramatic music) ( O-O )
The Thriller
THE THRILLER — (Inspired by MJQuan) It sizzles, it pops, it dances in your mouth and then it gets down in you and makes you wanna dance, too. One sip, and your hand is up in the air, you’re pursing your lips and saying, “Oooooo”!!! This is our most popular non-alcoholic drink. You can take it all day and never get tired. Enjoy!

PM :cheerful:
I can wait, I want my Prince :w00t:
*enters the bar looking like a damzel in distress*
God, I’m so sick. I’m suffering from PMS. Yes, the dreaded Prince Michael Syndrome.
I’m just going to grab a few Chocolate Covered Mikes, a Prince Royale, a Pure and a pitcher of LCC. Oh, I might as well take a Golden Boy too. It cannot possibly get any worse than this.
I will be in the Recovery Room until I’m cured.
Poor me, look what PMS did to my eyes:
Ahhhh, the sweet sound of desperation!
Enola, you know people were have operations like that where they really tattoo their eye!!!!!!
Whelp I am back home from my hike, my thighs are on fire :wub: which is a lovely feeling by the way. Nothing better than the burn!
I need to shower and relax!
I’m going to put these Sangres on ice for when I get back!
Eeeeeee – you eye is full of love (so to speak!)
hmmmmmm prince… we have missed you!
hmmmmmmmmm the burn.. hello there boss lady!
I feel it too… 85 K ride today… (my second longest this year)
now gimme the burn of a lovely martini.. Golden Boy pretty please!
And then a little nap I think is in order.
monring addicts!
L.O.V.E. shot for me with feeling…
:blush:
happy day girls, happy day!
Good morning all!!! I’m feeling so good today, I think I’ll start off with a tall, nice refreshing glass of MJ!!!
:smile:
I took that nap you offered Mgirl! It was much needed! :kissing:
I know you know your way around da bar so I’m sure you have that martini!
Soooooooo, did PM and Saniia get back yet?
They told me any day now :whistle:
:w00t: YAY! Flashy banner!! Prince Michael returns!!! SOON!!! oh boy oh boy oh boy!!
i feel a celebration coming on!! L.O.V.E. shot for no (Unleashed for later… :wink: )
Sabine it cracks me up when you say good morning at 12:56 PM!!! i guess time of day is all relative. :lol:
Well, I’ve been up but it’s good morning to you guys!!!!! :lol:
I just responded to you beautiful comment FINALLY!!!!!
So no Prince Michael, huh?
I wonder what’s the hold up?!?!?!?! :tongue:
This is an interesting interview I found, I :lol: when Michael was talking about paparazzi
http://jetzi-mjvideo.com/books3-jetzi/gm/gm01zb.html
Hey Collete, my favorite part of the interview has always been this one:
:sad:
That’s not the part, it’s this one:
GOLD GIRL: What kind of disguises?
:cheerful: Michael!!! He’s so smart, and he knew we KNEW him, too!
OF course this is the best:
:lol: :silly: :biggrin:
But some of that interview is very sad. I wish he would have done those six movies, and when she asks him what is the deepest love . . . . I want him to say Sabah!!!!!!
He talks about his children and all that is well and good, but Michael deserved more than that :cwy:
Thanks Colette, I didn’t have this interview bookmarked, although I’ve read it several times before.
hey, it’s me again! I thought i heard a Prince approaching but alas, no one here… :sad:
Sabine, i just read my comment comment so thank you! i feel so acknowledged! (don’t get much of that around here, mostly IGNORED!) and the “pictures with the kidss” was a typo! it was supposed to be “kiss”!!! gee, do ya think that was a Freudian slip too?? :lol:
My nerves are on edge today, only 3 days until my trip with the girls….I am one minute super-psyched to get away and the next horrified at the thought of leaving my baby with my mother-in-law!! what was i thinking!?!?!? *sigh* maybe i’ll just deliver her along with your birthday cake Sabine! she’d be better off i’m sure!
Anyone have any pre-marriage-counseling advice for me? my friend is having big-time cold feet, she’s fighting with her fiance and her family and i’m worried about her. I have been telling her it’s stress and anxiety and it will be better once the wedding is over but i don’t want to keep telling her that if she really doesn’t want to get married!! this morning i went so far as to tell her to just cancel the whole thing and start gathering the receipts and phone numbers and that kind of stopped her in her tracks so i really think she DOES want to marry him but Lord, it’s gonna be a looooong week! :w00t:
You know I left my kids with my mother when they were young and she was so good with them it was hard to believe that she was the same person buttttttt, as they got older I had to watch her so I think your two year old is going to be fine!!!!!!
Now about your friend YIKES! Wedding day jitters is one thing, but I know lots of people who have told me I KNEW on my wedding day that I should not marry this person!!!!!
It’s hard, because weddings can be stressful, to know if it’s just the wedding itself or it’s the relationship.
You know what I’d do, I’d tell her Gracie, what is the best thing about your relationship with your own hubby, what has carried you through the years and what has been the core of your union, and let her know if she has that, then she will a-okay.
But I would definitely say, if you do not have that, then get the hell outta dodge, because there is nothing worst, to me, then marrying someone you should not marry!!!!!
But of course, I know, Gracie, you would not want to be the one everyone is pointing the fingers at, if the wedding is not a go!!!!
What a horrible position to be in.
Maybe scratch my advice and just listen????
Let her make her own mistakes, I guess. It’s horrible to see someone you love do that, but ultimately the most healthy.
Maybe give her the first part of my advice and don’t tell her get out of dodge if she’s not sure and instead ask her: Now what do you want to do?
That question will be rattling around in her brain and she’ll make her own decision.
Good luck!!!!!
I’ll be outside with a catchers mit waiting for my birthday cake!
aww Sabine, that’s EXACTLY how i feel….everyone else is saying “everything will work out” and i just can’t in good conscience tell her to just do it if it feels wrong in her heart. I haven’t TOLD her don’t do it, I just talk about things like “do you love him so much that when he puts his arms around you everything is okay just for that moment? ” and “do you feel like he will always love you and support you no matter what?” and just trying to listen.
Mostly what she’s griping about is “wedding” stuff like he didn’t help with whatever or her parents are in town which dredges up all kinds of bad stuff for her and she takes that out on him and it’s making her question getting married because everything isn’t perfect, you know? She is afraid that every bump in the road means they shouldn’t get married. Looking at my own marriage, i told her he isn’t going to be “perfect” ever, neither is she and life isn’t going to be “perfect” or any easier because you’re married, it’s still a terrifying exciting roller-coaster ride, the difference is that you have someone to hold your hand. I honestly haven’t spent enough time with them to know what they are like together but I just am not getting “over the moon in love” vibes from her. So i will keep listening and not judging…she knows that we will be there no matter what. I hope and pray for her to find the way. oh yeah, that’s another thing she’s an atheist so i have to cloak all my marriage views and advice in the guise of my “philosophy” rather than my “religious viewpoint”! You would be so proud of me!! :lol: I have lots of experience doing that with her though, we lived together for 4 years!
thanks for your ear! :heart:
well, naptime’s over…pour me a Prince Michael’s PURE to get me through the rest of the day!
:happy:
ahhhh, welll, I think you’re doing a fine job, then! Keep up the good work — you’re a great friend.
OMG, I totally already am proud of you! I know how hard that is!
You might get different vibes when you see them together — I’m interested to hear what it might be. YOu know the wedding issues might just be a prelude of more things to come or a fluke, thing is you never know!
You know what it’s like for me. It’s like a person is suffering from a cold, and here you have the cure right in the palm of your hand and they are telling you, ah, no, that doesn’t work, I don’t even need to try it, I KNOW it will not work.
And here you are sitting there cold free knowing absolutely for a fact that this stuff works!!!!
So you have to sit and watch the person suffer :sad:
or put the bottle on the table and hope they pick it up one day :cheerful:
All this talk of marriage and babies. I wanna baby!
:tongue: Though I suppose I should try to get the husband first. lol
I’ve never partaken of anything in here before, but I saw that “PM Soon” flashing in the corner and couldn’t resist.
It’s sweltering here, like burning up hot….so I need one of those cold creamy Mikes, please.
And like…how soon is soon? Okay, okay…I’m gonna stop whining. I just miss my Mike. PM or BBM I don’t care, but I need some Mikey goodness.
And Sabine, I love your analogies, especially the ones you put in the stories.
hi ladake! nice to see you at the bar…i was just stopping in to see if “soon” had arrived and for a Creamy MIke myself…
bottoms up!! ……mmm…he is luscious….
got the baby bug, huh? those little critters have a way of doing that to us girls! :wub:
maybe Saniia or Sabah will get one soon!!
Hi Gracie.
Yes, I’ve always wanted children. Lots and lots, just like Michael.
Probably because I’m an only child. My parents…well, my mom, decided she wanted one child and once she had me that was it.
What are we drinking here?
Something ice cold and refreshing that will help people miss Mike less, how about an ice cold, creamy MIKEGASM?
:w00t:
Ladake, my mom is the QUEEN of analogies — I must get if from her!!!!! :lol:
As for baby fever, my niece was just here, 3 years old, that will cure that fever quick!!!!!!! :lol: :biggrin: :tongue:
Lol..
I have a 2 year old cousin, a boy, which is strange because most of the recent babies in my family have been girls, anyway, he is the total terror.
Cute as a button, loves to dance and beat the drums (you can imagine the racket) and loves to say no to everything and has the energy of 5 race horses.
:silly:
If he doesn’t deter me, nothing will!
Just so you know, they’re all like that!!! :lol:
My favorite part of the weekend is when I woke up and my neice was standing there, half an inch from my face with either a complaint or a request.
Most of the time it was: Can I have some juice?
:wub:
If Sabah and Michael had a little Mikah — do you think the child would be a sweet heart
:angel:
:devil: or a terror?
:whistle: Just asking?
did i hear someone mixing up Mikegasms!?!?!?!? count me in!
hubby is working late so i was over at TTWC chapter 10….now i need a cold shower and a new chapter!!!
:lol: ladake, before i had my own kids i worked in a child care center and all the parents used to say that working there must be the best birth control but didn’t work that way for me! kind of the opposite actually, i kind of got to liking the chaos! :happy:
Sabine, you do have a gift for for analogies, you can make a confusing thing seem so simple and clear!
A terror.
But that’s just half the fun.
All the little kids in my fam for the most part have always had good manners, but were very articulate and well spoken and a little spunky.
It would always blow my mind the conversations one could have with a 4 year old.
Micah will be just like that! Very grown. lol. A little lady just like her mama with an attitude to boot.
OMG Sabine…”appa juice?” i must hear it a hundred times a day followed my “no, not right now” and “awwww, pweeeeeeese!”
hmmm…the little Mikah? i’d say a terror if a girl, sweet angel if a boy of course!
Revisiting the scene of the crime, huh Gracie!!!!!!
you know, I never thought I would be able to HAVE any kids — I just always had this feeling. And I probably jinxed myself, ’cause both my pregnancies were high risk — I was at the doctors 4 times a week from the very first month! UGH!
Did I ever tell you the funny story of how I had my son?
Well, I had gestational diabetes and I was on a special diet. I was 38 weeks, big as a house and miserable.
So I packed my bags and said , today I am going to have this baby.
Last time I was there they told me despite being on a diet, my sugar was still high and they wanted to give me insulin. I was like, No way!!!!! I’m already 36 weeks, I’ve made it this far. I said INDUCE ME — I can’t breath, I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, my feet my back, my arms, :cwy: They wouldn’t induce me because they said it was too early to know if the babies lungs were properly developed, blah, blah, blah. And they wouldn’t give me a sonogram to check.
They told me, okay well, if you come back next week and it’s still high we’ll have to give it to you. So the next week, I didn’t go to my appointment. :wassat:
The week after, when I was 38 weeks, which is term (you can have the baby) , right before I went in I had a bacon, egg and cheese on a toasted bagel with butter OMG! It was sooooooooooooooooo delicious mhmmmmmmmmmm, nomnomnomnomnom
:wub:
:angel:
Of course when I got to the doctors they were like OH NO, your sugar is sky high, and so I, with my suit case in hand said, great induce me.
They didn’t want to and I kicked a fit. Finally they called my doctor who came in and I said WHY WON’T THEY GIVE ME A SONOGRAM to see if the baby is developed I haven’t had one in weeks!!! I’M SUPPOSED TO BE HIGH RISK!
So they gave me a sonogram and guess what? I had one tea spoon of placenta left — which means that baby didn’t have any room in my stomach JUST LIKE I TOLD THEM.
So they induced me and like I said before, 8lbs 13 ounces, 23 inches long. Mind you the average baby is what 15, 16 inches and 6 lbs?
OMG honey, i know that desperate to get this gosh darn creature out of me feeling all too well! 3of my 4 were more than a week late. It must have been so scary being high risk with the diabetes like that. I never had any complications but i was always terrified when the end was near that something was going to happen before they were ready to be born, you know? i was a compulsive kick counter!
oh, it’s when i think about all that scariness and the mental anguish i put myself through it really makes me not want to do it again…..but then i think about that magic moment when they put ’em on you the first time and all that good cuddly stuff and….*sigh* i want to order another Happy Ending Sundae! :wub:
okay, my husband just called me to say he’s on his way home and when i answered he goes..”AAARGH me saucy wench! get thee out the rum!” so i guess i better get on my wench costume and start pouring drinks! :lol:
gosh, is 6 lbs. really the average size?!?!? mine were all over 8 lbs. and my daughter was 9 lb. 6 oz. no wonder i was so freaking miserable all the time!!! :lol:
That’s crazy Sabine.
I’ve always wondered why some health professionals seem to doubt when a patient knows when something is not quite right with their own body. It’s their body! lol they should know.
But yes, your son was a big baby.
I was a chubby baby too. Not as long though, but every since then I’ve been thin as a rail even though I eat like a pig.
Those are some BIG babies, Gracie!!!! 9lbs! I know newborn clothes didn’t fit her for long! Don’t quote me on the figures, but even 8lbs is a big baby! I swear I could not breath for the last month, it was awful! But the consequences of Gestational diabetes is that the sugar in your system makes the baby bigger.
Well, on top of my Gestational diabetes, my daughter had strep B infection and almost died — she spent six weeks in Neonatal intensive care, and my son was born w/ jaundice so bad, they kept him in intensive care for four weeks. Basically I never went home with my babies!!!
:cwy:
But they are healthy as a horse now — hardly ever sick, other than the autism diagnosis, but that’s a whole ‘noter story!
Yes, it’s been quite a roller coaster for motherhood for me, but I love ’em
:wub:
Gracie, do you HAVE a wench costume!!!!!
:biggrin: Ha, ha, that’s awesome!!!!!
A man would have to ride down from heaven on a white horse with gold coins attached to it’s tale and BE Michael Jackson to convince me to have antoher kid!!!!
Ladake, in my experience all people who eat like pigs are thin — you know they give themselves the freedom to eat what they want and their body does the job of processing it and working it off.
But the ones who obsess over food and try to limit their intake maintain weight (or create a life long struggle with it) ’cause their body always think it’s starving!!!

Happy day boss – and happy day addicts

I know there was no internet in the 80s but Imagine Sabah and MIchael having cybersex: Hey baby, wanna come over to myspace so i can twitter your yahoo till you google all over my facebook?
:biggrin: :cheerful: :tongue: :silly:
Sabine you highlighted all the parts that were my favourites, and Michael pushing the paparazzi of off their scooters is hilarious, I wanted more for Michael too, he loved his children but he deserved a true love :heart: in his life, or mabye there was someone but he was protecting her, they would ask a million questions about her, and their personal lives smh
your welcome, I had never seen this interview before but it’s at the top of my list as one of my fav MJ interviews.
A cute skit of Michael with Bill Cosby and some classic J5 performances
I want to pinch Michael’s cheeks and squeeze him :wub:

LOL, CherryLeigh, you naughty girl, I thought that was Mgirl talking like that :tongue:
Verry cute! Don’t forget to like the page! I just like to see the numbers go up, it’s like flashing lights in Vegas! :biggrin:
Collette, you just have a bag of goodies don’t you! Do you Facebook????
The header was messed up, Mgirl, were you on EI — I know I was on there and I couldn’t see a thing but the code!
I told you I never used IE — only Firefox and Chrome — you’ll probably see a lot of stuff now that you didn’t before! But cool we’re FB buddies now, now we’re closer than kissing cousins!
yippeee! a new banner!!
Loooong day…I’m starting to get the shakes and my teeth are itchy…gonna need to grab some Liquid Cobra Crack ! :lol:
Sabine, of course I have a wench outfit…doesn’t everyone? :wassat:
awww…i don’t Facebook :sad: i just don’t need one more thing to keep track of!
But I’m your “fan” anyway! :heart:
Just dropped by to say hi to all my fellow Mikaholics :cheerful:
Have you seen the new Michael doll available in September?
I was thinking – what about a Sabah doll? Any suggestions?
Here’s mine suggestion for the Sabah doll:
:heart:
hey Jenny!!! What’s up! And everyone else too!
Yaaaaawwwwwwwn — another sleepiness night for me, I have so much work to do and Prince Michael and Saniia won’t leave me alone! I swear, but the result of this will be a fabulous chapter, I’m sure!
Wow, they finally got Michael right. The wax figures and dolls always seem off to me but this one is beautiful Liz!!!!
OMG, a Sabah doll! Liz you nailed her, that attitude, huh!!!! Ha, ha!
I love it.
You know about Facebook, obviously, that is strictly for promotion and also there are lots of pics on FB but I prefer to communicate right here on the site. It occurred to me that people on FB might prefer to just like a comment or make a comment about a chapter on FB and not come by CCC but where would CCC be w/o the addicts?
So basically if you want to comment communicate with me or the other addicts you’ll have to come here, but to encourage other addicts to join the addiction train, like the page and entries on FB! :cheerful:
Hey Gracie, it occurred to me that when I was describing your babies as big, according to what they ‘SAY’ the average size is, I might have offended you.
Puuuuuuulllease, forgive me – :sad: I’m so sorry if I did.
To me babies are supposed to be fat! I just think it’s terrible for the mother’s who have to push them out! So that’s where the that’s a big baby came from!!!! :wub:
Speaking of size and dolls, from my previous conversation with Jenny, I was delighted to walk into Target and see that Mattel has finally got a clue!!!!!
Have we seen the new Barbie Basics! Thank you Jesus, finally a doll to represent every shade, feature now if we can only get them to make a doll that represents a REAL WOMAN’S size!!!!!
Mind you they have a LOOOOOOOOOONGGGGG way to go:
Yeah, there’s lots of shades in the Barbie basics but they all seem to still have a Caucasian skintone, or if we’re generous, Hispanic. And of course we have the problem of the HAIR.
smh.
Sabine!! – they ALL have exactly the same bodies – talk about Stepford Wives – that’s creepy. :shocked:
WHY oh WHY can’t they make Barbies look like REAL women – I know most parents would be so much happier buying their daughters the dolls if they had more realistic body shapes.
:smile:
I think the kids would appreciate it, too, because there would be soooooo much less pressure for them to live up to — by the time they’re like 9, they’re already thinking there’s this “look” that they have to achieve to be beautiful! UGH! :pinch:
I think given the choice, most children would pick a doll that looks like them. And then having that doll, get other dolls that look different. The thing is we need to give these kids a choice!
“the University of Bath study, suggests that the “Barbie ideal” may be a myth. Just because a girl plays with a Barbie doll does not mean she idolizes it or views it as a physical role model. Critics cite statistics such as that if Barbie were real, she couldn’t walk upright, or bear children.
But of course Barbie is not real, and was never intended to represent a healthy body or physical ideal. While Barbie has long been badgered about her “unhealthy” shape, no one complains that Mr. Potato Head’s tubby physique is even less healthy. Girls are far more intelligent than Barbie critics give them credit for; they know their dolls are just that: dolls.”
I think everyone makes too big of a deal out of everyuthing, it’s just a toy, kids are smart.

You know, I was about to put some finishing touches on the next chapter but I HAD TO STOP to respond to the article you quoted, Colette.
God please save me from irresponsible scientists with their lack of real world knowledge about parenting and child rearing, releasing their biased, unreliable research and then using it to come to unrealistic conclusions that fly in the face of reality. It’s amazing to me that a writer would make such an evasive statement as a foundation for any coherent argument against the damage that Barbie dolls have OBVIOUSLY done to young girl’s self image. “Yet recent evidence, including the University of Bath study, suggests that the “Barbie ideal” may be a myth.”
:ermm: Hmmm, “suggests”; “may be a myth”. What evidence? What exactly is his point really?
I really love when someone who is not suffering tells another that they are making “too big of a deal out of everything”. They’re not the ones suffering. I really love it when people tell other people how they should feel.
:angry:
Quoting from the article:
And no one ever said Mr. Potato Head was supposed to be a representation of how girls should look either, so on what basis does he include that toy? And really, who cares what the intention was? Let’s deal with the obvious results. Once again, I will use my famous knife analogy. If I did not intend to stab you, but I did, shouldn’t we go about the business of treating that wound and getting it to heal, rather than pretending with outrageous audacity and incredible ignorance that the wound isn’t really there, and that you’re just making a big deal out of a little cut? Shouldn’t I take into consideration the collective cries of OUCH that would indicate a wound, or should I just dismiss everyone as “making a big deal out of everything”. I think the people hurting should get to decide how bad it is.
Quoting from the article:
“One adult woman in an informal survey reminisced, “Mostly I helped my brother decapitate Barbies and threw limbs in neighbors’ yards. No one told me I should look like Barbie and I never felt like I should look like her.” Said another, “I never regarded Barbie as a model for a real person. I actually hated her shape because it made it hard to put clothes on her.”
Right, because ONE woman’s opinion really debunks the thousands who have said the opposite. Oh, and newsflash about studies and surveys and data from people, they all assume that people are being honest but some people lie about how they feel about their bodies because they have an image to uphold and an ideal that they’ve told themselves is real. Some people have no idea how they REALLY feel.
But if we look at the actions of society and the solutions being presented to us on a whole to our ever present problem with the way we look: Plastic surgery, endless dieting, over exercising in the gym or popping pills to be thin, it’s clear that many of us have a BIG problem with how we look. Where did we get it from? We weren’t born that way.
“Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are serious diseases that cannot be “caught” from playing with dolls. Research has shown that the disorders are strongly influenced by genetic factors, not thin dolls or media images. It seems that not a single survey, poll, or study has shown that girls actually want to look like Barbie dolls.”
This is such an irresponsible statement I feel like writing the author to tell him not to talk if he doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about. “Strongly influenced” is not a basis to dismiss everything else that has had an affect. Of course no one has ever suggested that you can CATCH anorexia nervosa/bulimia by playing with dolls. That condition results from a potpourri of unhealthy and negative influences from society at large, the media and within the family unit to be specific, so he really needs to get a clue.
Now, Collete, was this your way of disagreeing with what I wrote about the Barbie Basic dolls. If so, you’re gonna have to come better than that. :whistle:
Let me quote an article that presents us with some REAL truth:
http://www.crosswalk.com/spirituallife/women/11600258/
“Controversy has followed Barbie through the years. Many parents complained that Barbie was too “anatomically incorrect” and sexually suggestive. Feminists complained (rightly it turns out) that Barbie’s physical dimensions are both exaggerated and humanly impossible. As for the “revealing clothes and shameful postures” — those are rather hard to hide or deny.
The real problem with Barbie is the one often cited by feminists, but they see only the surface dimensions of the issue. Without doubt, Barbie represents the objectification and commodification of an exaggerated vision of female beauty. She is everything many feminists charge, and they are probably right in seeing Barbie as a problem for many girls. They want to look like Barbie and emulate her fictional lifestyle (also projected by Mattel through advertising and the marketing of accessories).
As some feminists complain, few girls will grow up to look like Barbie. As a matter of fact no girls will grow up to look like Barbie. Her exaggerated features are just not within the human range of proportion.
Conservative Christians have been rightly concerned about Barbie’s in-your-face sexuality. Her immodest dress and romanticized patterns of presentation leave little room for the imagination.
But the most basic problem with Barbie is the fact that she lies. Constantly. The entire Barbie package presents one huge lie about the nature of true beauty. . . . beauty and truth and goodness are identical. A lie cannot be beautiful and the truth is never ugly. Barbie’s total presentation represents a lie about feminine beauty, suggesting in not-too-subtle ways that external attractiveness (even artificial attractiveness) is the foundation of true beauty.
But . . . genuine beauty is found within — in the being and character of a person — not in their external appearance. . . . every human being, male and female, is made in God’s image. No one made in God’s image can be anything less than beautiful . . beauty . . is a function of the person’s character, not external appearance. Some of the most beautiful people ever to have walked the planet have fallen far short of prevailing standards of prettiness. Conversely, many of the people who have been most pretty in popular perception have been devoid of demonstrated moral character and spiritual graces.”
And not only size, but let’s not forget that for a long time Barbie was one shade. And this is what little girls of color had to play with. So they start to attribute ‘pretty’ with that doll…hair texture/size/color. It is a toy, but can be associated with so many deep psychological issues it’s not even funny.
It’s just one of the many media outlets that bombard women of all kinds with what basically ‘Hollywood’ or TPTB view as the ideal beauty. And some aren’t strong enough to ignore or overcome that, especially if that’s what you’ve been force-fed since childhood.
I think it’s all extremely sad!
Ladake, as you can see I’m passionate about this issue. I cant imagine why anyone would want to ignore or deny the issue — well that’s not true, I can. It’s like the message is: we don’t care about you — you don’t need to be represented.
The truth is someone designed Barbie and someone said let’s make her look like this, because this will sell and this is what looks best and it’s time now for us to finally evolve pass the archaic thinking that created that look for Barbie.
Going a bit off-topic here, I guess, but I just wanted to share my thoughts on Inception…or rather share my first impressions of it now because I think I have to see it again to understand everything! :smile:
I thought it was good but it doesn’t surpass my Christopher Nolan favorite Memento. Also, I would have thought that this was about more than competeing economy moguls…I mean it is, from Leo Dicaprio’s role POV and I lliked getting to know piece by piece his and his wive’s story (although this reminded me almos too much of Shutter Island) but given the fact that the movie is all about dreams and dreamworlds I would have prefered it less action-packed and more on the “philosophical” side of things.
“””SPOILER”””
I mean, men with guns on motor bikes or military vehicles in the mountains protecting you from extractors and intruders…I get the idea but I would have liked a more “elegant” solution to that or just something more fancy or imaginative/creative than that.
But it was a good movie, I felt entertained and stimulated by it but it’s not as good as I thought.
Still, I’m definitely gonna see it again.
Awww, Sabine, no worries! I wasn’t at all offended that my babies were “big”!! I love ’em chubby too and thankfully I was gifted with a “lovely pelvis” (my midwife’s exact words!!) to birth them! It’s funny but my kids are actually all small for their ages, so they started out big but didn’t stay that way for long. :happy:
UGH! still packing…just a quick word on the Barbie doll issue, as with anything some people due to their innate sensitivities and other environmental factors some children can be affected and others not. I feel it’s always a good idea to be aware of what you’re exposing your children to, you never know how they may be influenced. So it’s not fair to say ‘well, EVERYONE hasn’t been affected that way so those who were don’t count.’ Personally, I do remember playing with Barbies and thinking there was no way i was ever gonna look like her (or have a camper with a pool for that matter)! But I was always sensitive about my looks so, maybe that’s just me.
My little girl isn’t old enough for Barbies yet but I am kind of struggling now with whether or not to introduce her to the whole “princess” thing. I know lots of little girls who are really into that but …hmmmm, Mama Gracie isn’t so sure. For now, she’s happy with her Yo Gabba Gabba and Sesame street and Kai Lan and her baby dolls so we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
ummm, what’s with the “change” ???? so cryptic…. :ermm:
:wassat:
The “change” is a glitch! Thanks Gracie, it’s not supposed to say that!
Oh, wheewwww, I’m so relieved I didn’t offend you — I didn’t hear back and I was like :sad: oh, no!!! I hope I didn’t offend her. I wouldn’t want to offend you for anything in the world!!!!
Well, like I saw anything — I bought my daughter Barbies, I just always talked about the issue and kept the dialogue open, pointed out to her that there weren’t hardly any Asian dolls and NO Indian dolls, and that the dolls were all one size — I mean when she was old enough to have the big discussion we did, but it was always said and always out in the open.
I mean what is true and real IMO is that everything around us affect all of us, for good or for bad. There’s no such thing as “oh, it didn’t affect me” — I don’t believe that. of course it did, it just might be that the person doesn’t know how, ya know.
okay, i really have to get going but really quick, i just reopened this page and “Give in to Me” was playing on your playlist so i HAVE to tell you this story, it’s a classic:
one night, several months ago the kids and i were all in the car and that song was on. Now, we had heard it many many many times at this point cuz of my daughter’s little “addiction” and after it was over my 9-year-old says “Mommy, what does that song mean? why does he keep saying “pinch my lasagna”? I was like HUH??? :blink:
and he meant the “quench my desire” part!!! OMG I was cracking up so bad!!! We still sing it that way now and he gets all upset. :lol:
Cherry, you’re a tough cookie boy! Now I KNOW getting a compliment from you is high praise!!!!
I mean how I feel about a story being close to another story, well how many times have we seen Romeo & Juliet? Some concepts are just timeless and can never be done enough.
As I see it human beings are fascinated with the idea of if our world is real, love, loss and letting go.
That Nolan was able to present these timeless concepts in an entirely new way is to me impressive, because so much of Holly-weird is just regurgitating the same stuff over and over — I mean that place is not really open to “new ideas”.
As for the men with guns, I loved the concept because the subconscious mind is VERY protective of itself and if you trigger someone they will attack you as if you are trying to kill them — that’s a psychological truth.
To me it was a very smart movie, and you could tell that Nolan thought a lot about it. The other thing I liked was the acting was supreme!!!!!
The only critique I would give it is that he didn’t fully explain HOW one could share a dream state — I mean I guess he felt it was too much to explain but I can think of how he could have done it in one or two lines.
I am? My English fails me on this one, Sabine, honestly, I’m not sure what that means. :blush: I hope it’s not bad? :cwy:
You think I don’t give compliments that easily? :smile: Regarding your stories or in general?
Well, I don’t know, maybe but why would I say I like something when I don’t, generally speaking? In this case I didn’t say anything bad about the movie imo, just what I would have preferred seeing, that doesn’t make how it is bad. Of course it’s not a bad movie, omg! It was a good movie.
Yes, totally, there are things that you have always seen and will always see in stories about people but I just meant that if you watch movies like Memnto, Shutter Island, Inception etc. a lot, at some point you start to see the similarties and can guess what will happen next so the revelation at the end is not AS surprising as for people who don’t watch movies very often for example…
Actually, saying that it was entertaining and stimulating for the brain is a compliment in my eyes because not many movies can do that nowadays. And there are things I can rave about for hours, they’re just not that many. Besides, compliments are something you don’t get all the time, they are something special so to me it’s natural that I don’t say “I loooove it” all the time. Maybe it’s also a question of mentality, that Americans use “I love it” much more frequently and for a lot more things. In German e.g. saying you love something means that you really really like it very much so I don’t use it that often I guess unless I really mean it.
Anyway, I liked Inception, it was very exciting and I will see it again and might probably change my opinoin about it some more. Really gotta go now, bye!. :sleeping:
