Tiger Woods

<p>I have never met Tiger Woods, so I know nothing of him personally (just what I read written about him in the media). The stories in the media written over the past few weeks describe behavior which could also be found in someone suffering from the disease of addiction. I know no one really wants to give him an excuse - I get that. Really, though, it is simply not natural for a healthy person to knowingly and repeatedly cause harm to their children, parent, friends, business associates, career, and health (i.e. the condom thing). </p>

<p>Addiction could very well be an issue when an individual is continuing certain behaviors despite negative consequences. The latter part of that sentence is really the big issue here. Was he able to largely avoid negative consequences? I doubt it. Just the lifestyle - the lying - had to take its toll. There had to be smaller consequences, before everything blew up in his face.</p>

<p>“before everything blew up in his face.”</p>

<p>This is kind of what I hinting at in post 1279, but I was too prudish to connect the dots like spideygirl did.</p>

1283

<p>spidey, we’ve already covered the addiction issue. I believe he’s an addict. Most here don’t believe in sex addiction so we’ve moved on to more enlightening subjects, ie…the fact that we are all getting a little concerned about Schmaltz and hope he can meet a woman who finds him attractive SOON! :)</p>

<p>You have to check out Billy Dee Williams’ Commemorative Plate Collection (google Jimmy Kimmel Live Commemorative Plate Collection - video is on Hulu).</p>

<p>You know you want those plates. Only $17.99!!!</p>

<p>1282: Schmaltz!!! :eek:</p>

1287

<p>Dad<em>of</em>3,
Yes, he can help himself… since probably right now nobody else will lend him a hand.</p>

<p>(… sneaking away quietly…)</p>

1288

<p>^^^ Or he could take a holiday break and go see the Nutcracker…</p>

1289

<p>Gosh, I am so not going to say anything about…no. I am not going to say it. Nope. Deleted it.</p>

1290

<p>Also, we are getting a leeeetle bit concerned about jym finding a partner…soon.</p>

<p>Someone needs to start a “chance Schmaltz for a date” thread.</p>

1291

<p>“nobody else will lend him a hand.”</p>

<p>Or even a paw. Man’s best friend, my foot. (I mean “my foot” figuratively, by the way…)</p>

<p>(Did I step over the line with this one?)</p>

1292

<p>Omg, spideygirl (where you been, girl??), the Jimmy Kimmel/ Billy Dee Williams spot was hysterical!! Thanks for the laugh!!!</p>

1293

<p>Sorry, Schmaltz, I am taken (whew…).</p>

<p>I just finished watching a spot on the news about the sponsors-- the PR folks at Accenture and Gillette must have selected each word <em>very</em>carefully. I’ll bet that his remaining sponsors are carefully reviewing their contracts.</p>

1294

<p>“where you been, girl?”</p>

<p>She’s been in the gutter connecting the dots. “Blow up in his face”?? Have a little class, and leave something to the imagination, will ya spidey? Sheesh.</p>

1295

<p>Yes, we love you for your understated subtlety, Schmaltz.</p>

<p>(Besides, how’d you overlook her line about the lifestyle- the lying…? According to the Perkins waitress it wasn’t all about lying)</p>

1296

<p>^ :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Has Tiger Woods ever needed anyone’s hand (including his own)?</p>

1297

<p>“the PR folks at Accenture and Gillette must have selected each word <em>very</em>carefully.”</p>

<p>Let me guess, they had the class not to use the words “blow,” “up,” and “face,” right?</p>

1298

<p>LOL Schmaltz!</p>

1299

<p>“Has Tiger Woods ever needed anyone’s hand (including his own)?”</p>

<p>Ah, I’m gonna have to take the Fifth on this one.</p>

1300

<p>" Gillette issued a statement saying: in the midst of a difficult and unfortunate situation we will support Tiger’s desire for privacy by limiting his role in our marketing programs"</p>

<p>Ooh-- that sounds pretty “in your face” and “hands off” to me…</p>
