  1. Technically it is a depressant. A narcotic is an opioid according to medical processionals and an opioid or cocaine legally speaking. Here in the US.
  2. Thanks but it's not the link. Every so often youtube gives me this message Even when nothing has changed. I can watch them on yahoo if they pop up when searching. Who is the artist?
  3. link doesn't work for me, Youtube error. Googleing it wasn't giving me the best result:o (to clarify not a joke about the women but about the type of sites you get with that string of words)
  4. That's awesome. I have had to learn to let allot go with the kids and all.
  5. I lived it. My mother never tossed anything that could be used another way or be made into some sort of project. She came up with some interesting stuff but when my father moved out of the house the basement was full from him moving stuff out of his way to get what he wanted. After 3 yard sales, 2 antique dealers coming to shop, and him filling a 10x15 ft storage the full size basement was literally full. I forgot a key when i went by it to say goodbye to the house and after squeezing through the basement window i had to crawl of mounds of junk, from beta tapes to milk jugs to my 1st grade homework. I even found Brigham Youngs JoD. There is a good chance it was actually his, the original^_^. She was ahead of her time before the whole "green, reduce, reuse, recycle but took it too far. I wanted to get them on Clean Sweep but there was no way she would have let me. Growing up like that made me a neat freak, (which is very hard with kids) and a sock hanging over the edge of the hamper isn't in the hamper, a cd angled out from the rack must be pushed back in flush.
  6. Those are the best. Like the H3 with some sort of bumper sticker about being "green"
  7. I remember that. The super beautiful have a harder time dating because people are intimidated by them and think they must be taken. The best thing for a guy to do when he sees a group of ladies is to ask the prettiest one to dance (assuming he's at a place where dancing is going on, Do it in the mall and he will look like a weirdo:D) or at least this is what i learned from Maxim (the male equivalent to Cosmo). As superficial as it is i think there is some truth to it. When my classmates and I had to choose a state to do a report on i got California because i was the only one who picked it. Everyone else wanted it but thought it was the oblivious choice so they all picked Florida.
  8. Never been been called or accused of that, I know what you are saying, but in all actuality a "good" car thief would do everything to avoid attention so it seems ironic to me. I have seen the coexit one. I don't know if you can interpret the FSM as a down right "attack" of Christianity without knowing the person. Personally i'm a fan of the FSM as it's origins is meant to illustrate the absurdity of teaching Creation science in school. Something i whole heartily agree with.( of course i see how other may find it more mocking)
  9. Saw a sticker like this one the other day. http://thm-a04.yimg.com/image/add1180dfdc7b6aa "Drive it like you stole it" You mean drive it slow and cautiously as to not attract any unnecessary attention.? Reminds me of the old "I slept like a baby". You mean you woke up ever few hours and kept everyone else up. :)
  10. I do it. (Flexes muscles and strikes glamor posses)
  11. Actually i think you might be doing a "disservice" by lumping Europe into one group. I don't know about drunk driving stats but i took a Psychology class last year that covered addiction (alcoholism) and how culture can drive it. They found that cultures that teach children to drink responsibly and condemn drunkenness in adults (drinking ok but this isn't a frat house) like in France, Italy and Greece alcoholism was less prevalent then in places where children are forbidden to drink but adult drunkenness is condoned (Animal house) like Ireland. All European countries. One might suppose the Irish are more prone to alcoholism genetically (as some stereotypes suggest) but studies have also shown that addiction rates change based on cultural moves. In Mexico and Porto Rico drinking is considered a male activity and Latino women (in their home countries) have less problems then their American Latino sisters. According to the text 2 to 3 times the amount of alcohol was consumed by Americans during the colonial days and alcoholism didn't become a big problem until the late 1700 early 1800s as drinking became a symbol of masculinity, and independence due to the move out west and the saloon becoming the place to drink. This doesn't bode well for the idea they need more bars however the prohibition showed that while the number or drinker lessened slightly the rates of addition rose due to the missed opportunity to learn how to drink moderately and over did it when they had the chance. Looking at the data it seems access has less to do with addiction then how it is presented by culture. That the alcohol taboo is not uniquely American but is "at times drastically overplayed" and the cause of the problem (when referring to addiction). And "Yes, we should be encouraging responsibility and discouraging drunk driving, but to do so by suppressing alcohol availability is a foolish approach that borders on irrational paranoia." So building more bars won't cause more problems, but we need to stop machoizing (new word i just made up) drinking. Keeping the "bros" out is the solution. (do they even exist in Utah?) I should note that the studies and the text exclude cultures where people don't drink for religious reasons. I don't know it this is because then numbers would be too hard to get. Tough to get the Saudis to open up about alcohol use since it is against the law. Or because it works, I suspect less LDS drink then the population at large.
  12. Considering only 19% of the adult population and 50 % of the kids are non drinkers (from your link). Then the number or responsible alcohol users is huge. It's like anything else were negatives are reported. For every celeb who abuse a child under the influence (total cop out don't buy it) 100 drank and didn't. For every moron who gets behind the wheel drunk there is 100 who call a cab. "Drunk man calls cab" http://thm-a01.yimg.com/image/bc09c972a2e08144 "Horrible crash caused by drunk driver" http://thm-a01.yimg.com/image/28426b5f922c51a0. Which one do you think sells more papers?
  13. Where i leaned to drive the law states... I would imagine it is similar in many states. So while yes, going through a yellow because you can't stop in time is legal, Running (speeding up) the yellow on porpoise is illegal, that is what i was referring to. And they do write tickets for it. Also note how spell check thinks riding a sea mammal down the street is illegal , i'm sure it is, but that's not what intended to say:)
  14. ah but do you hold the drivers double standard? I have noticed with anyone i have spent a decent amount of time in a car with (myself included) has "everyone else is an idiot/can't drive but me syndrome" It usually developed at about 16 years of age and is a life long affliction, though many don't know or will not admit they have it. Symptom include... Cursing (real or otherwise) at the "moron" who just cut you off, followed by cursing at the "idiot" going too fast to let you in. Cussing (real or otherwise) the jerk going way too fast. Followed by Speeding down the road to make up lost time .( weeks, days, hours, or even only a few miles later) Ridding the tail of the slow polk, hopping they will get the hint, only latter to be upset but the rude jerk riding up your tailpipe while you slow down to find the place you are looking for. And My favorite. Asking "why isn't there ever a cop around when you need one" as someone else breaks a traffic law. Latter finding yourself saying "I hope there aren't any cops around" as you break this same law. (The more dangerous the event the more likely this symptom will show. See this a lot with running yellows lights)
  15. Seems we have a misunderstanding, i never talk and drive. In retrospect I my pickup don't have a trunk:)
  16. Dear lady driving the car behind me to the grocery store. I believe you misread my letter. The kids aren't outside while i'm getting the car ready, they are standing at the front door.(Inside) My baby girl must be close to this door, as that is where the kids are, and being a baby she is prone to separation issues. The kids keep her calm until the older ones start opening the door to check on me. The more snow i clear the more time it takes which increases the numbers of times they open the door. But i do believe i have found the perfect solution... Sincerely Mr Anxiously awaiting the arrival of your late Christmas gift to me. A remote car starter P.S. It wouldn't be a problem if the board chipped in and bought me what i hinted at before http://www.lds.net/forums/general-discussion/28315-christmas-gift-hard-buy-shopper.html That would have fit in my garage.
  17. Dear lady driving the car behind me to the grocery store. Yes my garage is full. I would love for it to be a guy room but with young kids it is filled with an assortment push cars, bikes, swimming pools (that taunt me) barbecue grills and asorted toys and closes to be passed from the oldest child to the youngest. More then a guy room i would love to have a nice place to park the car out of the snow.The oldest kids (no matter how many times i tell them i will be right back) stand there with the door wide open to make sure i don't leave them letting the heat out and the cold in on their baby sister who is helplessly strapped in the car seat and can't back away as i scrape the windshield before loading them into the car and trying to work the seat belts, and keys with numb winter hands. I find the less time a child spends pinned in an uncomfortable position in the cold the better experience for all so i might neglect the non essential snow removal. When driving in winter it is recommended that one takes a larger then normal following distance as visibility and braking distance is reduced. Maybe you have cat like reflexes and eagle eye vision? maybe you have brand new snow tires and reinforced salt corrosion resistant brake lines with pristine self drying brake pads. You might be the worlds best driver in the best stopping car ever made but not everyone else on the road is. Please increase you following distance according to weather conditions not only for your own safety but for others as well. Particularly those who travel with small children. Thanks. Sincerely Can't park in garage, puts children comfort first, drives appropriately for all weather conditions. P.S. Your more then welcome to brush my car off anytime you wish.
  18. toss them and grow a good veggie like carrots or corn. my 2 cents
  19. In all honesty i would like to do one kind unselfish act every day. It's going to be hard because i don't get out much.
  20. Spend my time more constructivly, less time on the message board, opps
  21. Ditto, on the agency. I don't believe God has a plan (in the traditional micro managing sort of way) Plus life is way more complex then that as well. War gives us technology, WW2 gave great advances in radar, space exploration,(and therefor satellite communications) perfection of liquid coal and gave Israel back to the Jews.
  22. If only people could understand the fat comes on slowly and comes off slowly.
  23. Just to put this in perspective i have friends with families getting less then half that for kicking in doors. (of course they are armed). People take risk all the time. Only you can decide if it is worth it. Best of luck.
  24. National lampoons Christmas vacation. Importance of family.
  25. I have often wondered how anyone gets a fair trial here with the media spending so much time crucifying the suspects. I see it all the time.
