Radiohead was awesome. Unfortunately for me, I was too far away to see anything. Also, one of the people I was there with was having leg issues (bum knee), so I had to help her. I got to hear it all, but not really experience it. "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird

I thought, especially after seeing them, that there was no possible way Rage would be surpassed. I mean, they're fucking Rage, man. But then, Sunday night, Nine Inch Nails came along. Now I can't decide which was more kick ass. Just got home today. Who else was there?? "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird

This happened to a friend of mine a few years ago (at a boogie, I think). He couldn't find his altimeter any where, borrowed one, jumped, then saw it fall out of a cell when he opened. Apparently he first thought, "Cool! My altimeter!" Then, "Shit! That was my altimeter!" "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird

Really? Who's this guy satisfying? Eew. "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird

Maybe this is a misinterpretation, but is one of the colors listed as "discharge red?!?" "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird

I love giving head. My boyfriend loves it, too because he gets it at least once every time we see each other. I've only recently become interested in the reciprocation... "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird

We can all say what we want about fiscal responsibility. If you want a loan, you're going to get one. You'll have to qualify, no matter if it's FAFSA (www.fafsa.ed.gov) stuff or a private loan. As others have said, student loans are mostly paid directly to the school and then the school cuts you a refund check. Usually, the loan has to be for a certain semester, so you may be stuck waiting to get that money. Unless you can get a bank/private loan. That's a whole different game. Student loans typically come with the "for school only" (books, housing) stipulation, but who's gonna know? I was never asked what that money was spent on. The cosigner part will depend on your credit history. As long as you actually pay the loan back responsibly you should be fine. Good luck!

I had a couple nasty scabs from bad landings and tried peroxide and Neosporin. It wasn't until I listened to my grandma and used Bactine that I started to heal. I use it for everything. It seems to help just about any skin abrasion heal quickly. It's antibiotic, which is helpful (things that get infected tend to scar worse). It's a spray, so it's not goopy and won't make any covering stick to you. It's super cheap at any drug store and you don't have to use a lot. You'll have plenty left over (dare I write it?) for next time. "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird

Clearly, I misread. Eh, it happens. That's what y'all are here for! "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird

I have to say I agree with the decision, also. From what I understand (which isn't much) Moore gave up the right to his spleen, and all it contained, when he signed a consent form authorizing its removal. It was no longer his property. Just as a person who "donates" sperm has no claim to resultant children or research performed with the DNA contained therein. Just as a person who donates part of his liver can't ask for it back if the recipient drinks a fifth of vodka every two days. This case is different because Moore wasn't informed of his doctors' plans and was unaware of potential profits, but if the CA law didn't require the doctors to inform him of their intentions...well, it's a crappy law, but it's still legal and implies ownership. "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird

I suspect that there are quite a few guys on here who regularly donate sperm without getting paid for it. I actually thought that while I was writing! "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird

I understand that there are legal issues and all that and that "they" haven't worked everything out just yet. I'm not saying that it is legal (I don't know enough about what has gone on, legally, surrounding the issue). This is just an opinion, but what I really meant was that maybe it should be legal for one to sell one's organs, tissues, etc. I acknowledge that there are "custody" issues, and socioeconomic pitfalls to the whole idea, but I think that organ selling isn't legal due largely to semantics. We can donate organs and tissues and blood and marrow and hair both pre and post mortem. But to make a profit is off-putting. When I sold my eggs, they called it "egg donation." I was referred to as "the donor" in the contract I signed. You better believe I didn't donate a damn thing. I sold those eggs for $4,000. We don't donate plasma or sperm, we get paid for it. But calling it donation makes everyone feel better. Once we start putting a price tag on body parts everyone gets a little uneasy and the legal system has to be brought in to regulate. Personally, I don't know how I feel about it, considering I'd have to purchase a rather low end kidney for myself. But if we're talking about ownership and rights to do what you please with your body, consider that people buy and sell cars and animals and damn near everything else in the world every day. All you need is a contract. If you have the authority to donate an organ, you clearly own it. You ought to be able to sell it. And now I feel like a jack ass for having written so much. "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird

So, maybe they're not organs, but I sold some of my eggs a couple years ago. To the highest bidder. Granted, I have extras, so it's decidedly different than selling, say, a kidney. Even then, though, you only need one good one. I think it's partially a rights issue (what if the seller wants his kidney back next month?) and partially just the fact that society's not yet comfortable with it. It sounds abnormal. But your body is, in fact, yours. If you can sell a sofa... "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird

I'm not typically a "graph person," but sometimes the numbers just add up... "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird

I am at work and actually just laughed so hard I cried. "If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning." ~Catherine Aird
