hrm... for some reason DJ Duke's "blow your whistle" came to mind...

no way... i work in a lab with craploads of chemicals in it. if idrank on the job i'd probably blow up the entire building

i dont usually post anything too personal about myself on these boards but maybe some of you can learn from my mistakes... i got my 1st credit cards while i was in college, never using them that much since mom and dad were basically paying my way through school. after i graduated, i totally slacked off and didn't get a "real" job right away so i was making little money, but had a lot of bills (rent, utilities, college loans, etc). i started using my credit cards to pay for bills, then i just went buckwild and spent spent spent. i couldn't/didn't make the minimum payments on a few of my cards and had collectors call me NON-STOP. not until one credit agency put a levy on my bank account and threatened to sue me did i finally wake up and see what i was doing. using credit cards wisely (paying your bills on time, not getting i n way over your head) can help to build your credit. using them like i did can become a huge burden on you and your future.

that's totally crazy. someone is willing to give them MILLIONS of $ to help fight the spread of HIV/AIDS and the prime minister refuses it just because he thinks it would cause public panic. i wonder what he'll be thinking in a few years when the AIDS crisis is a huge epidemic in his country and what kind of public panic that would cause.

my side job is at anthropologie, so i wont be starting holiday shopping until the 1st week in Dec. which is when anthro/urban begins their Employee Appreciation discount. 40% off of everything

i agree. i have better things to spend my money on than some trendy overpriced stuff that i'll only use/wear for one season.

i was a teenager in the 80s when all that big hair was in style. ugh... those pics could now be used as blackmail

this is what i found from a website: http://www.folica.com/appliances/bab2552.htm (actually its 75USD) The ceramic iron assists in making hair more manageable, by generating a negative ion field. When hair becomes entirely charged by static electricity (positive electrical charges produced by dry friction and natural movement of the hair), it tends to spread out and become difficult to style. The hair cuticles open, resulting in dull, unhealthy hair. The negatively charged molecules generated by ceramic products smooth and relax the hair by canceling static electricity. The source of all heat lies in the infrared. When introduced to heat, the ceramic products emit far infrared heat waves, which have longer wavelengths. Heat at this level is more easily absorbed by hair, resulting in enhanced vitality, reduced stress, and less damage. Product Features: 170 watts of power with superior Ceramic Pulse heating technology 1¼" plate size Ceramic creates shiny, smooth finish Ceramic emits ion reflectives Ceramic renews and revitalizes hair Ceramic instant heat Heating plates wrap around edge for easy finishing touches! Also included is a removable comb. Add comb to hold hair securely while straightening. Remove comb to add finishing touches. Lock the heat in! New swivel lock keeps the iron in closed position while not in use, maintaining maximum plate temperature of 220º. Contoured easy grip handles 9' professional power cord Dual voltage for worldwide use One year limited warranty Warnings & Precautions: Keep away from water to reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire or bodily injury. For your safety and continued enjoyment of this product, always read the instruction book carefully before using.

i'd like someone to pay for my thermal reconditioning/japanese hair straightening treatment for x-mas

i bought mine in TO so it was a little cheaper for me to get it up there than in the states. i have a babybliss professional hair straightner (1 1/4" plates). i think it might be around 70USD. the only downside to it is that it has no temperature adjustments on it.

the reason people plug their pills is because it is more readily absorbed since there is a high concentration of blood vessels in your bumhole. as for rubbing it onto the vagina/clit...errr... i dont think so

i think they look nice only if you have a VERY pretty face w/ defined features. otheriwse you can end up looking homely

Nov. 2, 2002, 8:34PM Asian drug invades California New form of meth more dangerous than Ecstasy pill By LOUISE CHU Associated Press SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The newest drug to hit California's underground club scene is sweet, colorful -- and deadly. The drug, a form of methamphetamine called ya ba, a Thai name meaning "crazy drug," has made its way into raves and is said to be significantly more powerful and dangerous than the current club drug of choice, Ecstasy. "The scary thing about these is that they are adding color to them and adding flavor, which could give the perception that these drugs are less dangerous than they really are," says Will Glaspy, a spokesman for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. The pills, which cost $10 to $20 apiece, are sometimes passed off as Ecstasy to unwitting users, Glaspy said. Packing a potent mix of highly addictive methamphetamine and caffeine, ya ba can keep users awake for days and has hallucinogenic effects, sometimes causing users to believe they have bugs crawling under their skin. The drug can be fatal, and common side effects include increased heart rate, dehydration, paranoia and depression. In August, federal agents in Sacramento made the largest bust of ya ba smugglers since the drug first appeared in the United States three years ago. The arrests of 10 people in Sacramento for allegedly smuggling 75,000 pills from Thailand and Laos came after the U.S. Customs Service seized 46 shipments of ya ba in Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Honolulu, which were destined for Sacramento addresses. So far, ya ba has appeared mainly in Southeast Asian communities around California. Law enforcement's efforts have been hampered because "we're talking about a pretty closed community, so it's pretty hard to get information," said Daniel Lane, the lead U.S. Customs official in Sacramento. Methamphetamine abuse is not a new problem in the United States, where about 1 million people reported using meth in 2000. DEA chief Asa Hutchinson has called methamphetamines "the No. 1 drug problem in rural America." In urban areas, he says, club drugs are the top problem. Ya ba, then, may be a terrifying combination. Ya ba has become a vague label for any type of methamphetamine in pill form, although it specifically refers to the brand produced in Southeast Asia. Meth more commonly comes in powder form, allowing users to snort it through their nostrils or inhale its fumes when heated. In Thailand, addiction to ya ba has reached nearly epidemic proportions, with the Thai Health Ministry estimating 3 million people are addicted to amphetamines. Ya ba was at first sold legally in Thailand, where truckers used the pills to stay awake. The government declared ya ba illegal in 1970, but the drug has since managed to enter all segments of Thai society, with reports of widespread drug use by manual laborers, college students and even 5-year-old schoolchildren. The drug is now produced mainly in Burma by the United Wa State Army, a group of ethnic tribesmen allied with the country's ruling junta and known to be one of the world's largest and most well-armed drug-dealing organizations, law enforcement officials said. Ya ba already has spread outside Southeast Asia, and reportedly has shown up on the underground club scene throughout Europe and Australia.

*bump*

anyone have any info on what to do in these places? i might be heading out there this month for business

sheeeesh though, you'd think that the security people would have bigger things to worry about...

she is kinda reminding me of shakira now...

thank you. just because we may complain about our country does not necessarily mean that we want to leave it or think we would be better some place else. it means we see the world with open eyes, not through rose-tinted glasses. we see things wrong with our society and work to change those injustices. with this change we hope to improve our country and make it better for everyone who lives here.

even though i think some levis look cute, i would never buy from that company. out of all the U.S. companies who once owned sweatshops in saipan, they are the only ones who have not settled in a workers' rights lawsuit. all the companies who settled agreed to adopt a code of conduct

ravelinks.com has a promotor board uhmmm... also actually going out and promoting works too ya know

why the hell is this at ENVY of all places?

under 21? you dont have many choices... the only under-age nights i can think of are at shampoo and egypt bleh
