It tried contacts, but didn't like it. The problem wasn't the hassle of putting them in/out, the discomfort, or whatever. No, my vision just wasn't as sharp as with glasses. Something to do with the shape of my eyeballs (cylinder), I believe). I work on a PC all day, and I had to squint to see my screen clearly.

I tried two sets, from different stores. When I returned the second set, the sales guy just shrugged and said something like "what did ya think?".

Quote from Klutch :Just something about the texture and feel of scars on a person wrist/thigh.

Well, then have some private fun and put the razor on your own wrists.
Quote from MAD3.0LT :lol my question is what is a relationship wif out sex????

Love, if that is a concept that you can grasp.

Look, the OP asked for help on a problem that's d*mn hard to handle. I you guys can't say anything supportive, then please don't post here. There are plenty of other threads that are more fit for silly jokes.

Quote from Crashgate3 :Geographically though, it ain't going to happen. Politically and economically (well, haha.. maybe not economically - 'let's invade and seize all their.... massive debts.. oh..' ) we may be ripe, but there just isn't any power that has the means and motive to get here and invade.

You've already been invaded, for over 20 years... by hardcore capitalists. Thatcherism, Reaganomics, globalization, etc. They gave to the rich, took from the poor, and spread the lie that it was in everybody's best interest.

The immigrants are just a scapegoat. The BNP should put the blame where it belongs: with the wealthy neocons. (If you don't believe me, read "The shock doctrine" by Naomi Klein.)

Quote from MAD3.0LT :was wondering when someone was going to say that even in the HICK country of australia thats against the law

Against the law to fall in love?? The OP never mentioned sex.
Besides, they met over a year ago, so he was a minor himself then.

Quote from wheel4hummer :Making your child cook and or clean isn't necessarily child abuse.

Making your child do its fair share of the work in the house isn't abuse. Making her do all the work, that is abuse in my book. Ever read Cinderella?

Quote from Kalev EST :I´m an Estonian and were probably the most reserved people in the world when sober (except Finns). Alcohol helps to relax, make people more open and happy. It makes communication and approaching new people easier.

They're sad people if they must rely on chemical substances to make them relaxed, open and friendly.

Quote from Dajmin :I wouldn't rely on Social Services though - if there's no clear cut case of abuse they're not likely to do anything.

Don't know about the social services or laws in the USA, but from a human perspective this is a clear-cut case of abuse. Psychological abuse. Less scars, but just as damaging. Your gf should get out of there. (And her mom should get psychological help. She's probably an abuse victim herself. But that's another story.)

f4sttr@ck, get some legal advice. From a certain age, a child can decide to live on its own (or with anyone she chooses), and if that age is 16, that may be helpful. If the law gets involved, perhaps you should register the abuse that has taken place, and the consequences. For instance, a medic or psych could have a look at the scars from cutting herself. Build a file.

And you should try to talk her out of "if I leave then ma will die". I expect her mom has told her so, many times. It's emotional blackmail, and part of the abuse. Even if the lady's health was that bad, there should be other people who can help: relatives, or professional workers. Ultimately, your gf has to choose to save her mom's life, or her own.

Quote from thisnameistaken :But I suppose you never know whether you need glasses until you see what the corrected version of your vision looks like, but you can't find out unless you go and have some dude try to sell you glasses. Grrr!

Go to an optometrist.

You: I'd like to have my eyes measured, to see if my glasses need to be replaced.
Optometrist: Certainly. Can I measure your current lenses?
You: Sorry, I left them at home. I don't wear them constantly. Can't remember their strength.

Optometrists provide these services for free, because they make a huge profit when you actually buy something. (And sooner or later you will. That's the certainty of growing old. )

I've read through the whole thread now. I've seen arguments about the real or imaginary dangers. But one big question remains unanswered for me: do these substances improve your life? (If not, why bother?)

It's a serious question. I've never done any drugs or alcohol, which (especially the latter) made be a big exception in my Uni years. I've been asked many times why I didn't drink. My reply was "why should I?", and I've never heard a satisfactory answer to that.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :If I recall correctly trains are the most inefficient form of transport per person (well second really as ships have that hands down).

I'm pretty sure you're holding the chart upside down.
Quote from flymike91 :The problem is that hippies never think past "save the whales".

Exactly. The whales are all for global warming. It will give them more water to swim in, and the biggest bonus of all: wipeout of human civilization. Yay!
Quote from danowat :All they have done is caused a lot of grief, and shown just how poor our security around airports is.

.. and for showing how crappy airport security is, they deserve to be punished?

Quote from flymike91 :58% of people in Britian are against immigration. The majority is always right.

No, it isn't. The majority gets to decide, but the majority should not unnecessarily tread on the interests of the minority. That's why we have anti-discrimination laws: to protect the minority from the foolishness of the majority. And that's why the transition to Nazi rule in Germany in 1933, even though taken by majority vote in the Reichstag, was morally wrong.

Quote from wheel4hummer :Even if you're under 18, it's still illegal to possess child porn. Which makes me wonder. If you are under 18, and take a naked picture of yourself, then according to law, you are then in possession of child porn.

In the U.S., you are.

There have at least been 2 cases. One was a girl who took a sexy pic of herself and mailed it to friends. The other was a couple who filmed themselves while making love, and then she mailed the movie to her lover. All persons were under 18, and were found guilty of possessing child porn. The lawmakers never thought there could be kids making pictures of themselves, and the judges wouldn't or couldn't dismiss the case as being totally ridiculous.

That sucks. Sorry, but I don't think there is a bright side. It's a loss you have to live with. (Soms heb je gewoon puur pech.)

What got damaged? Eardrum? Inner ear?

Funny, you're the third person in this thread saying this... and then continuing with a long post.

This thread is like crystal meth: it's nasty stuff, but people keep coming back for more.

Quote from Bose321 :another bad joke : man asks a girl in the pub 'if you didn't had feet, would you buy shoes?' "no" answers the girl. 'why do you buy a bra then!?'

For a moment I thought that the last question was asked by the girl.


My contribution:

A rabbit walks into a bakery, and asks the owner: "Do you fell any drugf?"
The owner, surprised: "No, I'm sorry. We have no drugs. This is a bakery."
The rabbit leaves.

Next day, the rabbit is back and asks again: "Do you fell any drugf?"
The owner again says no. But when the rabbit has left, he starts to think. It might be a good idea to make some extra money, so he goes to the big city and buys some marihuana.

The third day the rabbit is back again: "Do you fell any drugf?"
The owner rubs his hands. "Yes, we have just got a fresh supply of..."

The rabbit holds up its badge. "Polife. You're under arreft."

Blinding people with lights only works when you drive at night (which is impossible in LFS). Besides, on a race track very few people drive in the opposite direction.

If you want to take other drivers out, you should crash them. It's much more reliable. (But don't blame me if you get banned.)

If you try to follow a raceline that stems from a WR hotlap, then you won't survive the first turn... Unless you have alien-like driving skills, but then you don't need a raceline anyway.

A raceline is driving advice for people who don't know the combo yet. The line had better NOT be one that drives the car on the very limit.

If the dog was already dead, then perhaps the other dog wasn't really rescuing a friend, but rather getting itself a good meal. :schwitzWell, they do look like feral street dogs.)

Quote from Electrik Kar :PS, these kids must feel special when they come home!

Yuck.

OTOH, perhaps they compensate by eating a vegetarian Christmas dinner.
Quote from Blackout :Or, use candles, which of course results your house burning down.

Please don't. If may be fun, but burning down houses is very environmentally unfriendly.

Quote from Turbo Dad :Scary !:Eyecrazy:

No, simple math.

Pick number XY = 10*X + Y
Subtract the sum of the digits: 10*X + Y - (X+Y) = 9*X

You always arrive at a multiple of 9. If you look at the table of symbols, you'll see that every ninth number carries the same symbol.
