Surprising to many, there are a considerable number list of conservative actors. While their political position is certainly questionable among many the United States voters, they are a serious force. Perhaps they choose not to make political remarks due to the often hypocritical Democratic political position of Hollyweird. With that said, those that elect to make themselves known are not afraid to let their voice be heard.

One of the most popular is writer David Lynch known for many, many insanely popular flicks. Via a recent tv interview with Ed Downey they went on record, “I love the Republican party and won’t thought much of the blue counties.”

That passionately anti-American vision caused quite a hundreds phone calls to the popular liberal shows. This disorder founded a modern conversation among American citizenry. The unprecedented differentiation in the middle of the dichotomous ideologies might noticeable to this day. Democrats and Republicans are soberly unqualified of getting on.

Today is an period when Celebrities have come ahead of time and have begun to become able to disputing the massess assumptions and stimulate human beings to think intelligently.

Despite the slight societal distinction, Conservative of Fame are ,after a long time, appreciated for their supremely remarkable and expressive viewpoints.

Many people know that astrology is the study of how planets and stars influence every person. Everything from whom you should marry to natural disasters can be predicted in the stars. Astrological readings provide a lot of information for people, and since astrology has been around for nearly 5,000 years, you can be sure that astrologers know what they are doing! Of course, you should always go to an astrologer who has an established practice. Or you can use some software or an online service, because the same methods a good astrologer would use are included in them, so you know your reading will be accurate. You might want to avoid hotline astrologers, who may not have all that much knowledge.

So how can astrology help you? It can help you to gain a better understanding of yourself and the world around you. You can learn what things you need to learn and what tendencies you have that you should try and control better. For example, many Scorpios are very jealous though they may not think so. You will also learn about things you might not know are tied to your star sign. For instance, Virgos tend to be worriers but they also tend to have stomach ailments. This is directly tied with the Virgo’s tendency to be nervous and worry.

Astrology can help you learn what career you may be best suited for. Virgos love to help others. It’s in their natures to serve. So they are best suited to such careers as nursing or social work, because they are very logical and can handle all the fine details these jobs require. You can even use astrology to help you plan your finances. The planets can actually tell you when will be the best time to make an investment, and some very successful businessmen have used this method to make literally billions of dollars. And if you know the sign of the person you’re interested in, you can see how compatible you are and whether the relationship holds any kind of long-term future. Now you can see how much astrology can help you.

According to them, the descriptions or profiles for each sign are actually accurate with their real personalities.

Verizon already announced the enhancements to its FiOS TV Facebook and Twitter widgets, a free interactive social TV applications from Verizon. As of the latest upgrades, FiOS TV subscribers will be able to send their own Tweets. And by using an onscreen keyboard modify their Facebook profiles.

Verizon presented the FiOS TV and FiOS internet services which puts up on its high-speed fiber-to-the-premises network. The company is increasing its efforts on adding new functionalities to enhance the customer experience of social networking on FiOS TV. These new features allow customers additional way of connecting with each other when subscribed to FiOS TV.

The new features added by Verizon FiOS television in July are Facebook, Twitter, ESPN and Online video services provided by a new store called “The Widget Bazaar”. The objective of this program is to give additional features and apps for FiOS TV Subscribers. Verizon will soon be launching “The Widget Bazaar” to third-party developers under revenue-sharing agreements.

Triple play. (T.V, internet and phone) appears to be the popular product provided in the marketplace. To defy the competition it gets from cable and other relative offers (such as satellite TV), Verizon will continue to increase FIOS TV feature.

A chief part of Verizon’s long range growth plans continues to be growth in its FiOS television and online offerings. The organization maintains developing its existence in the market with FiOS television offerings. The FiOS TV has a healthy consumer growth which is also revealed by their stable development over last 2 quarters. Verizon had about a few million subscribers of its FiOS TV marked at the end of 2009’s 2nd quarter. Verizon will be better able to compete in the telecommunications market against companies such as AT&T and Sprint once they are able to expand their coverage availability of their fiber optic system (FiOS) and fully upgrade their present wireless system to offer 4G capabilities.

I have never been one to put much stock in the those love horoscopes that you see in the local newspaper. I do wonder though at a time in our society when so many people have been feeling the pressures of a struggling economy if at a time of need and desperation if people tend to look more to the unknown for relief to their problems. Or just a possible “sign” of what direction they might have to look to change their fortunes or circumstances.

For example the big solar eclipse that happened last week gave a big boost to people doing astrological searches on the internet to see how the solar eclipse is effecting their star charts. I mean let’s face the facts the science of astrology has been around for a very long time so there are plenty of people out there that put a lot of time, effort and belief into the astrology and horoscopes.

I also recent saw an entertaining little post over at this site about the relation of the astrological charts and the trends that have been recently happening in the financial market. The writer goes on to describe how the recent rally in the US market is related to the locations of Jupiter and Neptune and how long this upswing will continue based on what will be happening in the astrological charts in the coming months. Like I said it’s a very entertaining article that kind of gives some perspective on how deeply passionate people can be about their astrological studies.

I don’t know about you but I would love to believe that predicting the ups and downs of the financial markets was as easy as learning the astrological charts. I do think that in tough times like the one’s so many of us have been experiencing in the last year or so has probably made some people look to horoscopes and astrology a little more intently shall we say. What do you think? Have you found yourself going to your horoscope lately for a little guidance in your life lately?

A comic book price guide is a great tool for determining
what your comic books are estimated to be worth in the
market today. The going worth of individual comic books can
range all over the board. Some issues have been known to
carry a value of six figures, while other issues aren’t
even worth the price you paid for them. A comic book price
guide can go a long way in helping you determine this kind
of information.

Action Comics #1 (the introduction of Superman) in mint
condition has been quoted at being worth $650,000. A pretty
tidy piece of change. Then Weird Science, issue #13, in
near mint condition can command a respectable price tag of
$5,750. There are also multitudes of back issues purchased
at a newsstand price of around 5 bucks, that are now worth
even less than that.

The ability to determine the actual value of individual
collections is not an easy task or one to be taken lightly.
Comic book pricing is a highly perceived value and will
vary quite greatly, depending on which opinion and which
comic book price guide you choose to follow. By all means,
if there is a reputable comic book dealer in your local
area that you are comfortable dealing with, get his or her
opinion. But in all my research so far, it seems that “The
Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide” is the bible of most
active comic book collectors.

I have my copy in electronic format, reachable from my
desktop. It is very handy. If you truly want to understand
what your magazines are worth, the first thing you need to
do is to determine the physical condition of each comic
book. Is it raggedy ass poor with pages missing and in need
of a paper clip to hold it together? Or has it never been
opened since being purchased and appears to be in mint
condition? Even brand new comic books may not make the
grade of mint or perfect condition.

The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide gives a very detailed
description of all the grades and sub-grades used in the
0.5 to 10.0 scale. This grading system is generally
accepted by all comic book aficionados. If you follow
Overstreet’s physical condition explanations and grading
scale, you will get a pretty good feel for the conditions
of your own collection.

The next step in your comic book pricing exercise is to
then go through the myriad of pages in the comic book price
guide to find your particular issues. Along with your now
determined physical and grade conditions, you can find your
issue’s current assumed value.

The comic book price guide also has tips on collecting,
preserving and storing your comic books. And it defines the
various ages (Golden Age, Silver Age, etc.) that comic book
history has moved through.

I guess if I had to mention a drawback to this guide, it
would be the fact that there is soo much information to go
through, it could take you quit a while to devour the whole
book. Once you get well acquainted and comfortable with the
comic book price guide though, you could consider yourself
an expert in your own right and help your friends out with
their collecting and comic book pricing questions.

I do believe this guide to be an invaluable and inexpensive
resource to have and I don’t think you will be disappointed
with it. Heritage Comics seems to be the top dog for
delivering an electronic version of a comic book price
guide. You can visit Heritage at
http://www.comic-book-collection-made-easy.com/CBPG to
learn more about the guide.

While you are there, you may want to surf around Heritage’s
site. There are some very interesting subjects there. They
also have on of the biggest on line comic book auctions on
the Net. If you have never seen Heritage Comics’ site
before and you really enjoy it, just remember where you
heard about it at (ha, ha).

Of course if you would rather have a hard copy of the
Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, I am sure your local
comic book store would have a copy and I hope this little
review has helped you with your pricing questions.

If you are serious at all about the monetary worth of your
comic book collection, then a comic book price guide is a
valuable tool to have. There are several available and even
a few for free. But if you want some of the most relevant
and up to date data, then the “Overstreet Comic Book Price
Guide” has developed a superior reputation over the past 30
years.

A proposal for a new peace plan that potentially can save millions of lives has been submitted to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee and Academic leaders for nomination in the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize competition. Nobel Peace Prize

ATTENTION
Noble Peace Prize Staff and Academic Leaders,

I am writing to request my proposed new Not-for-Profit organization, Wonderful Life Foundation, be nominated to receive the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize. My understanding is nomination for the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize requires a motion from a qualified Doctorate level PhD officials.

I believe the American taxpayer should be repaid for the vast sums of taxpayer money poured into numerous Middle East conflicts. The poor and working class citizens within the United States of America spent billions of American taxpayer dollars to fight side by side with Osma Bin Laden for the purpose of protecting religious freedoms of all Middle East Arab citizens from a communist invasion of Afghanistan.

I intend to use the Nobel Peace Prize monetary award to (1) help lower an extremely high escalating cost of living in America by reduction of mortgage interest rates, and (2) finance scientific research performed by institutions and corporate entities truly dedicated to improving the lives of people by discovery of new highly efficient production methods that have great potential to better the human condition. Institutions and corporate entities that are purely profit driven to cheaply manufacture a new product and sell at a high cost will not be eligible for the new proposed Wonderful Life Foundation Socially Responsible Scientific Research Incentive.

Please find below URL links to freelance article content outlining a new Middle East Peace Plan that could potentially save millions of lives. My proposal for a new Middle East peace plan provides for (1) assurance of peaceful United Nations disarmament of Iraq, and (2) formation of a new high level Iraq commission that will insure protection of the ultra conservative Muslim values of all Iraq citizens.

My Peace Plan may fail. However, my new proposed Not-for-Profit Foundation, Wonderful Life Foundation, deserves to win the Nobel Peace Prize for at least trying to find a peaceful solution to the Iraq conflict imposed upon the Middle East.

I want to remind everyone that past winners of the Nobel Peace Prize include Palestine Leader Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres, and Yitzhak Rabin. Perhaps, the effort of these men to achieve peace in the Middle East was indeed sincere. Obviously, the effort to bring peace to the Middle East by all three men has failed. My peace plan may fail too, however, at least I tried.

Bookmark and/or save this page then click here to review the Noble Peace Prize Award of 1994, posted on the web site of the Nobel Foundation.

I believe in the Sovereignty of Israel and formation of a new Palestine State. The fact is that both Israel and Palestine are strict authoritarian ultra conservative religious societies that are aligned in opposition to the lax permissive free Democratic American Society. Also, the strict authoritarian belief system of ultra conservative religious societies in the Middle East appeals to highly conservative political factions within the United States.

The ultimate effect of the constantly repeated rounds of attack, retreat, and attack again is to perpetuate violent conflict and to cut a hole in the pants pocket of America. The poor and working class citizens of America spend billions of taxpayer dollars only to perpetuate war and bloodshed in the Middle East.

A highly relevant truism from days of old is, “the truth shall set you free”. The international community is using the entire Middle East region to keep America weak.

The international community is working to prevent the United States from gaining a technological competitive edge. Ultra conservative societies may fear a technological competitive edge may contribute to the making of an even more morally permissive free democratic society.

A weak American society is vulnerable to illegal criminal activity associated with pornography and drug use. Oftentimes, illegal criminal activity associated with pornography and drug use is introduced into American society by foreign powers. Pornography and drug use contribute to the making of psychological cripples that become a burden to American society.

Lawmakers in the United States and diplomats around the world participate in the game to have an important job. Please find below e-mail I have sent to President George W. Bush and secretaries for the United Nations Security Council trying to peacefully resolve the Iraq conflict. I have also informed numerous peace movements about my new proposed Middle East Peace Plan that potentially could save millions of lives.

Bookmark and/or save this page now, than click here to read my newest freelance feature article entitled, Commitment to Protect Muslim Ultra Conservative Values of Iraqi People, currently available through the freelance writer-publisher exchange service ideamarketers.com.

Also, should this peace plan be accepted by all parties involved, I would like to take credit for the sale of a high tech satalite system to the joint United Nations -Arab League. Commissions from this sale will benefit my new proposed Not-for-Profit, Wonderful Life Foundation.

Mark

ATTENTION
PsySR Management Staff,

I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a concentration of course work in computer science, data processing, physiology, biology, and information systems.

As a Psychology grad, I have written three feature articles pertaining to fear of free democratic societies maintained by ultra conservative religious societies of the middle east. MY FEATURE ARTICLE CONTENT CONTAINS A NEW PROPOSED PEACE PLAN THAT POTENTIALLY COULD SAVE MILLIONS OF LIVES.

In response to the quote posted above from the web site of Psychologist for Social Responsibility, the following excerpts from the two freelance feature article I wrote are very pertinent:

In my feature article entitled, My Two Cents: A Peace Proposal No One on Earth May have Contemplated Yet, I explore fears ultra conservative societies may have in relation to western culture. The following is a poignant observation I made within the content of my feature article:

One of the major criticisms of free democratic societies is that freedom can become a license for immorality. The observation that freedom can become a license for immorality is a very valid criticism of free democratic societies.

A clear statement of major goals and final outcomes of United Nations intervention can reduce the fear of ideological westernization of ultra conservative Muslim societies.

My new Peace plan providing a provision allowing Iraq President Saddam Hussien to head a new high level government commission may allow the Iraq leader to demonstrate his sales skill by allowing the United Nations Team (consisting of Ultra Conservative Arabs from neighboring regions) to make a huge financial investment in the Iraqi infrastructure. Iraq President Saddam Hussien can boost he caught a big fish. Thus, my new peace proposal prevents anyone from feeling humiliation.

However, war will bring great humiliation. The following quote from one of my feature articles is very significant:

My peace proposal nearly eliminates all the major sociological problems pertaining to introduction of greater stability in the middle east. If Iraq does not find this peace proposal acceptable, and a human catastrophe occurs resulting in the death of millions of people than Iraq will bear the ultimate responsibility for the carnage. It will not speak well of Iraq to sacrifice the lives of millions of people when nearly all the major objections to United Nations guaranteed disarmament have been removed.

Please recommend my feature article content to a online or print media company for possible publication.

Please let me know if Psychologist for Social Responsibility may be interested in publishing my articles either online or in print publications. I am providing my content for free in exchange for (1)a byline, (2)recognition as a contributing freelance writer, (2)notification of where and when my freelance feature article content will appear so that I can build a writer portfolio.

Thank you

Sincerely,
Mark

Freelance Feature Article Content
Outlining a New Peace Plan
That Can Potentially Save Millions of Lifes

I would like to submit a freelance article I wrote that contains a new proposal for a Middle East peace plan. The proposed new middle east peace plan is described in my letter below addressed to President George W. Bush.

The most recent feature article explains tenets included in my new peace plan submitted to President George W. Bush. The most recent article is entitled, Preservation of Idealogical Integrity of Nations Where United Nations Must Intervene.

The URL link is: http://www.ideamarketers.com/library/article.cfm?articleid=18471&wherefrom=RESULTS

Summary of main theme:

The concept of high-level government commissions to preserve ideological structure in nations where the U.N. may need to intervene may be a concept that can ease fears of an ideological take over. Every society should have the freedom to maintain values they as a people hold dear. P> Preservation of the ideological integrity of ultra conservative societies may help prevent formation of a one world government. The formation of a one world government may dilute ultra conservative religious values. The dilution of ultra conservative religious values may allow world domination by a powerful dictator.

The United Nations should declare major goals of (1)social stability and (2) dedication to basic fundamental human rights. The United Nations should make it extremely clear that it does not support or facilitate ideological take over.

Please let me know as soon as possible if United for Peace and Justice is interesting in publishing my freelance feature articles either online or in print.

My freelance feature article is currently available through the writer-publisher exchange service, www.ideamarketers.com.

My freelance feature is available at no cost. Stipulations include: (1)an author byline, (2)recognition as freelance contributing writer, (3)notification of when and where my article will be published so that I can create a portifolio of my writing.

I can e-mail the html if this is necessary. Just let me know via e-mail.

The link to my article is posted below, but here is the link again, just in case:

Sincerely,
Mark _______________________________________

Dear Mr. President,

On February 26, 2003, Dan Rather, famed CBS News Anchorman and correspondent, interviewed Iraq President Saddam Hussein for CBS News Television Broadcast of 60 Minutes II.

The 60 Minutes II interview with Iraq President Saddam Hussein inspired me to write a freelance feature article entitled, My Two Cents: A Peace Proposal No One on Earth May have Contemplated.

In the content of my feature article I outline a proposal for a new peace proposal that to my knowledge has not yet been contemplated.

My new Middle East Peace proposal can be found at the following URL:

http://www.ideamarketers.com/library/article.cfm?articleid=18417&wherefrom=RESULTS

The following is a summary of the major strength of my new proposal for peace in the middle east:

My peace proposal insures (1) ultra conservative values of Iraq will be preserved, (2) Iraq will continue to control tremendous wealth generated by its oil reserves, (3) peaceful United Nations intervention which includes ultra conservative Arab officials from neighboring nations as well as delegates of all concerned U.N. Nations who will help the Iraq people form a more cooperative less threatening government, (4) the development of greater stability in the middle east, and (5) allows Iraq Leader Saddam Hussien to play a vital role by heading a newly formed high level Iraqi commission.

If Iraq Leader Saddam Hussien does not want to participate in this peace plan, than a newly formed Iraq commission can be created to include ultra conservative Muslim officials from neighboring nations without participation by Saddam Hussien

My peace proposal nearly eliminates all the major sociological problems pertaining to introduction of greater stability in the middle east. If Iraq does not find this peace proposal acceptable, and a human catastrophe occurs resulting in the death of millions of people than Iraq will bear the ultimate responsibility for the carnage. It will not speak well of Iraq to sacrifice the lives of millions of people when nearly all the major objections to United Nations guaranteed disarmament have been removed.

I hope these ideas are helpful.

Sincerely,
Mark

Handel’s Messiah Performed by the San Francisco Symphony

At a time of year when nearly every merchant is pushing their wares on the American public in the grand spectacle of Christmas, it’s difficult to find an oasis of sanity - a place where the meaning of the holiday hasn’t been shoved aside in favor of bell ringing Santas, rehashed Muzak versions of tired carols, and grouchy, harried shoppers all trying to rush through their days.

But such an oasis can be found in the music of the San Francisco Symphony’s version of Handel’s Messiah, performed this year at the Flint Center on the campus of DeAnza College in Cupertino, California, about an hour south of San Francisco. Once we entered the hall, we felt the world of craziness drift away.

Previous performances of Messiah that I’ve heard have been high volume events with sopranos in the rafters and choruses blowing out the back doors. I was pleased to see that conductor Christopher Seaman had chosen a more reverent and controlled version of this widely interpreted piece.

Handel wrote Messiah during the years of 1741-45, and performed it first to an indifferent London reception. The piece was revived, however, in 1749, and Handel continued to revise the piece significantly throughout the rest of his life. He lengthened, shortened, and removed many sections, and rewrote portions to match the voices of the local singers. After Handel’s death in 1759, many composers have rewritten the score to suit the tastes of the time; some of the most famous revisions are Mozart’s (1789) and Ebenezer Proust’s (1902).

In the last 35 years, symphonies have been making attempts to return to Handel’s spirit for the piece, though not always to the letter - or “note,” as it were. Music writer Michael Steinberg says that “Two approaches to performing Messiah are available. You can reconstruct one of the forms in which it was actually given by Handel between 1742 and 1759 (or, for that matter, the 1741 score), or you can treat the score with its variants as a soft of kit from which to build an edition of your own. Like most modern conductors and editors, Mr. Seaman takes the latter, synthetic approach.”

Seaman is a magician, able to take 200 voices, several dozen strings, and four powerful soloists and make the setting feel like an intimate private concert, even like chamber music in some movements. By controlling the pace and volume precisely, he leads the listener through every delicate step, never forcing the music on the audience, but rather presenting it as a gift.

Each of the soloists seemed personally moved by the music, no one more so that soprano Danielle De Niese. The Australian-born singer captured the stage visually in a stunning lime green ball gown that set off her green eyes, but what shone most was her deep love of the music. Although the soloists play prominent roles in the performance, no one sings for any length of time or very many movements. By the end Ms. deNiese seemed to be enjoying the music so thoroughly that it seemed that she’d rather sing in the chorus next time around, just to get to participate more.

Did anyone ever notice that “Clap Your Hands” commercial on TV? I’m just so glad its finaly off the air. I just couldn’t watch the commercial without cracking up.

It makes me laugh because of Singapore. One day I got into a cab with two of my friends, and one of my friends had a bad backache, so he told the Singapore Cab driver to take us somewhere where you could get a good back rub.

So the driver takes us to this place thats way of the beaten track, and then points at a staircase to go up. So we walk up this staircase, and we see this Lady standing there, and there is only one table.

She motions us to sit down, and then she brings us all a beer.

Then she stands next to the table and says. “What can I do for you?”

My friend explains to her that. “The Cab driver said you could get a good back rub here.”

She smiles and says yes. “We have the best here.”

Then she claps her hands and a curtain opens. The open curtain reveals a whole bunch of women standing there in skimpy outfits.

My friend says. “No not that.”

Then she claps her hands, and another curtain opens up revealing more women in skimpy outfits.

Then my friend says. “My back aches, thats all, I have on my mind.”

Then she claps her hands again, and all the women behind curtain number one start to take off their skimpy outfits.

My friend says. “No, just a back rub.”

Then she claps her hands again, and all the women behind curtain number two start taking all their skimpy outfits off.

Then I said to her. “You don’t understand, my friend only came here for a back rub.”

Then she claps her hands again, and this totaly naked women jumps up on the table and starts wrapping her thighs around my neck.

I said. “No, back rub, just a back rub.”

Then she claps her hands again. “And says okay back rub.”

I said. “Yes, back rub.”

Then she claps her hands again and the woman starts taking my shirt off.

I started to say to her that. “Its my friend that wanted the back rub and not me.”

But I could see she was ready to clap her hands again. So, I just said. “Okay.” Affraid of what would happen next if she claped her hands again.

So now this woman is giving me a back rub, and my friend says to the Lady. “What about the two of us?

So of course she claps her hands again, and one woman rushes over, and then she claps her hands again, and another woman rushes over. Then the Lady claps again, and the woman that was rubing my back walks away.

So, I’m thinking good. “The Lady has everything figured out at last.”

So I gulp down the rest of my beer, thinking that my friends will just get their back rub now, and then we can get out of this strange place.

But no, I was wrong. The Lady says to me. “Would you like another beer?”

I said. “Thank you, but no, I’m fine.”

Then the Lady says. “Come with me.”

I said. “Come with you where?”

Then she says. “You have to get the second part of your back rub now. But I need you to lay down for it.”

I said. “Why do I need to lay down for a back rup?”

She gave me a strange look and said. “Why do you have to ask so many questions?”

So then, she takes me into this room and points and says. “Lay here on your stomach.”

Then she claps her hands again and before I know it a bunch of women are rubing their hands all over my back.

Then after a few minutes, the Lady says to me. “Turn over on your back.”

So, I turn over and then the women start pouring all this lotion on me and then they start rubing up and down my chest. Then I feel one of the women lift my arms and pull them back all the way back behind my head. Then I feel some hands around my waist, and then in a split second, I feel my pants and shorts come sliding off.

Then I said. “No not this.”

The Lady said. “Whats wrong?”

I said. “I don’t want to have sex, just a back rub.”

She says. “Okay no sex, but we can’t do this with your clothes on.”

I said okay. “But no sex.”

As I said the words no sex, I could then feel the women spreading my legs wide apart. Then I felt the women spreading the lotion and rubing it all up and down my thighs. Then the women turned me over on my side and started to spread and rub the lotion all over my buttocks.

Then I heard laughing. I asked. “What are they laughing at?”

Then the Lady said. “The butterfly, they’re laughing at the butterfly on your butt.”

Then the Lady asked. “Why do you have a butterfly on your butt?”

I said. “I didn’t think anyone would see it there.”

She kept her promise, there was no sex, but was that ever one heck of a rub down. I just couldn’t figure why they needed so many women to do the job.

When we walked out of the place at last.

I asked my friends. “Did the two of you have the same kind of rub down?”

They both replied. “No, just our backs.”

I said. “I don’t get it. Why would that Lady have the women do all that to me, and only have the women rub your backs?”

One of my friends smiled and said. “She just wanted to see you with your clothes off.”

Then my other friend said. “Yeah, I think that Lady had the hots for you.”

I guess I will really never know the real answer to that question, but whatever the reason, it was a great rub down. But I will always think of that Lady in Singapore if I see someone claping their hands a lot.”
