You're probably right, but I'm a little apprehensive about the whole thing.

I've had the opportunity to touch a breast implant, and they don't feel natural.

I can just imagine grabbing her rear, and instead of a big handfull of softness, my hand would be squeezing a saline bag.

It just doesn't work for me.

Um, my answer would be that saline doesn't freeze.

You can cool the solution to get water crystals and salt crystals, but not frozen salt water.

"Pure water freezes at 0°C, but the freezing point can be lowered by dissolving salt in the water. If the solution is then cooled to below the new freezing point, water crystals (i.e. ice) will start to form. As a result, the remaining saline solution becomes further concentrated, until the saturation point is reached. This intersection of the freezing point line and the saturation point line is referred to as the eutectic point. Below the eutectic point, salt crystals will be formed in addition to the water crystals."

Ah yes - Ye ‘ol Bag Balm. Not a bathroom in our house nor a vehicle or aircraft in the fleet, that’s not holding a little green tin we call “The Miracle Mender“. Neosporin and Chapstick, don’t compare. Been soothing lips to scrapes to mild burns with it for years. A must have for anyone doing anything outdoors.

Absolutely! I recently carried a small tin of it with me around the world. Also, TSC sometimes carries "Pulvex" veterinary ointment. I'm fond of it because it contains salicylic acid and benzocaine. I get fast relief when my knee is aching.

The best cure for chapped lips is to kiss a horse on the ass.


It doesn't help immediately, but at least you'll quit licking your lips.

Yep - I figure that might do the trick. Sick as it is.

BTW - I am SO jealous of where you are living. AZ is one of my favorite states. So much public, NF and BLM land. I spent three years of college in Prescott. What a dream to be able to jump in my truck and in no time be out in the woods. My last year there (and Tues/Thurs only classes) I owned an old Piper PA-18 Super Cub (Pretty tough aircraft.) and that really opened the door to adventure. Three/Four days a week to Payson for morning coffee and apple pie at the airport cafe. Then up to the Kaibab area for lunch. AZ has it all. You’re quite lucky. I’m quite jealous.

Along with implants install a pair of heating elements that plug into the cigarette lighter.

Would the heating elements be for the breast or butt implants?

I'd say, they keep their shape best at a homogene temperature ...

Sounds like my grandfather's advice on fishing when I was 6. When I wondered aloud why I wasn't getting any bites, he replied that I wasn't holding my mouth right. Naieve and trusting, I asked what the correct way to hold my mouth was. His reply was - you guessed it - that I had to hold my mouth like I was going to kiss a mule's ass.

But he wasn't quite prepared when I innocently asked him to demonstrate the proper technique!

No, I don't have them it came up in conversation with one of the residents here and i thought it would be a good thread to post.
