    E

    MDA was not addictive- awesome body stone/ mild speed/ enjoyed without need to do more than a few caps. i lived at a place that MDA was being made in the bathtub- then dried out / spent many hrs. capping it/ rock cyrstal speed was heavier so the last capsules capped of every bowl contained considerable more speed/ experimented with it for a year regularly/ no adverse problems with my health/ never knew anyone else that got wired to it even those that injected it/ so what is the second M in MDMA that makes it addictive?? Does MDMA contain more speed than MDA? i do not understand what happened to "old school" MDA (closest i've experienced to "E") i know some dudes who thought they had taken E, looked exactly like E tabs but was in fact ketamine....(anaesthetic vets put animals to sleep with not used for humans as they go in and out of anaesthetic state- for days after with no memory of what they did while in this state--any of their bones could be broken without any pain....also called date rape drug) For some reason the drug stays in the system for weeks after administered....They appeared to be "passed out" but could not be woken up- one had blue lips and was white as a ghost, one eye wide open, one eye shut- in ER the doctor explained how it was being sold on the streets in our community as "E" SMiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.

  17. hey, thanx for the reference to The God Delusion, I have ordered it to read. The only way I can describe someone like your brother is that he is "captive of a concept." I have read Bart D. Ehrman (world class bibical scholar)-Misquoting Jesus. There are millions of christians who still believe that the bible can be read literally as completely inspired in its predictions of what is soon to happen to bring history as we know it to a close. Left Behind series (another apocalyptic vision of our future based on a literalistic reading of the bible) sold more than sixty million copies.... It is a radical shift from reading the bible as an inerrant blueprint for our faith, life, and future to seeing it as a very human book. What if the book your brother takes as giving him God's words --instead contains human words? Anyway- I found this book a very good read... I learned what textual criticism is dispite the fact that this has been a topic of sustained scholarship for more than 300 years there is scarcely a single book written about it for those that know nothing about it-- -for those who don't have the Greek and other languages necessary for the in-depth study of it, who do not realize there is even a "problem" with the text, but who would be intrigued to learn both what the problems are and how scholars have set about dealing with them. What if we have to figure out how to live and what to believe on our own, without setting up the bible as a false idol---or an oracle that gives us a direct line of communication with the almighty???? There are so many simple clear reasons for thinking that, in fact, the bible is not this kind of inerrant guide to our lives. For God to inspire the bible would be so that his people would have his actual words; but if he really wanted people to have his actual words, surely he would have miraculously preserved those words, just as he had miraculously inspired them in the first place. The authors were human beings with needs, beliefs, worldviews, opinions, loves, hates, longings, desires, situations, problems...and surely all these things affected what they wrote. Each of these authors were human, each of them had a different message, each of them were putting the tradition he inherited into his own words. Texts do not simply reveal their own meanings to honest inquirers. Texts are interpreted, and they are interpreted (just as they were written) by living, breathing human beings, who can make sense of the texts only by explaining them in light of their other knowledge, explicating their meaning, putting the words of the texts "in other words."

  19. hmm... one thing i know is at 18 i had no sense of how beautiful my body was, i felt geeky, not sure of myself, insecure, shy- what would i tell my 18 yr. old self now? "be proud of who you are, it is o.k. to just be yourself" Tried to raise my boys to be secure with who they are, when my 18 yr. old asked about getting tattoos i told him to be sure that they mean something personal to him- (take time to think about the meaning.) Attached some pics of his tattoos- can anyone think of possible personal meaning?? -you do it to yourself? -this one's optimistic? .....

  20. I used to pay my utility bills at the bank machine (drive thru) this required having all the bill stubs with amount owing. Recently my bank stopped this option (re: want to cut back on paper use) so bank wanted everyone to bring in their account numbers so they could be entered into system by employees- --a mistake was made with one of mine so I was paying someone elses bill for awhile! This made my decision to just pay online- so now I wonder why I didn't do this all along??

  22. ... I was just coming around an isle in the grocery store to grab 1 more item...(B.C. Canada) with my buggy full- and the store manager made an announcement- "good afternoon, due to the US shopping going on today our lines are down and none of our cashiers can accept debit cards...." ...i keep forgeting that your thanxgiving is later than ours... anyway- the ATM in the store was also down- left my buggy and walked out. Drove around for 1 hr. trying to find some cash...line ups everywhere- so here I am at home with nothing to make for dinner- no cash- cause you guys are out shopping!

  23. I don't agree with the lawsuits. and also question government regulation and tax on cigarettes. Tobacco is a legal product that remains a habitual pleasure for one Canadian in four- cigarette tax falls on adults above the age of 20 who make up 9/10ths of smokers. assessing the regulation of tobacco entails an examination of several important public-policy questions: -the enforcement of the rule of law; -the importance of property rights; -the question of individual responsibility; -issues of freedom of speech; -the personal freedom to trade longevity knowingly for pleasure. In the case of tougher restrictions and higher taxes on smokers, (cost of over $8.00 cnd. a package) the argument is that those measures are needed to reduce the economic costs that result from cigarette use. So question regarding smoking is not "how much does smoking cost?" but "how much, if any, of the costs are paid by non-smokers?" The Canadian Cancer Society says 153,000 new cases of cancer are expected in Canada this year and there will be more than 70,000 cancer-related deaths. How much does diet….re: fats contribute to deaths from cancer? Tobacco regulation in practise, may miss it's objective of decreasing smoking. Regulation seems well coordinated with tax increases on smokers- Does regulation help to shame smokers into accepting rising taxes on their habit? If government is granted power to regulate does this write our leaders a carte blanche to tax? Can regulation be proved to reduce smoking and increase health of smokers? Has smoking advertising bans reduced the amount of tobacco consumption? Smoking regulations late arrival and it's dubious record of controlling smoking suggests to me that other motives than concern for public health may be driving the government. (In 1985-1991 as the % of smokers fell- governments in Canada managed to raise their real revenues from tobacco by 39.8%) exactly!

  24. My nicotine delivery device started as Player's (I called them heavies)- then 10 yrs. ago made the "big" switch to Player's light and started smoking a pack a day (doubled.) Therefore, tar and nicotine level more than doubled as not only smoked more but sucked twice as hard. More bang for each suck… Player's light is the most popular cigarette in Canada thanx to the technical know-how and assistance of Agriculture Canada scientists. I've made the "big" switch back to "heavies" and back to smoking less than !/2 pack a day-- and no more "sucking harder." The Ontario and B.C. governments are suing the tobacco industry to recoup health-care costs for treating smoking-related diseases. 3 major cigarette manufacturers in Canada have agreed to begin phasing out "light" and "mild" on their packaging (there are 11 brands of Players cigarettes on the market.) Imperial Tobacco Canada Limited, Rothmans Benson & Hedges Inc. and JTI-Macdonald Corp. will begin changing their labels on Dec. 31 Now for a limited time, Player's brand cigarettes are being sold in a nostalgic retro blue tin that features a whimsical picture of an old-fashioned ship and engraved signature of John Player inside. Warning labels and smoking bans are no match for cigarettes that come wrapped in a pretty package to enhance the premium perception of the brand, apparently we kind of wear a cigarette like fashion…….. (attached pic of limited edition tin & lighter) Deep blue colouring is offset by a written testimonial that praises the "century of experience and craftsmanship" that is "all rolled up in a rich, full-bodied smoke" proudly called Player's..tobacco experts since 1877… So- now as my tin is so "special"…I open it less often to light up a smoke with my Player's .."a true original" lighter. I am proud to be in this stage of less than 6 smokes a day and have more confidence that I will kick this habit. Besides I will have my limited edition tins to keep for nostalgic reasons (they have far greater uses than for cigarettes…) SMiles eustress. : a positive form of stress having a beneficial effect on health, motivation, performance, and emotional well-being.
