No, not until the tiara, when placed on their heads, slips down over them to their ankles!
I don't watch it, ever, not even if, tied to a chair & pistol whipped, could not care less!
I can see how it might send a wrong/demeaning message to, unfortunately, impressionable girls/women everywhere! And I could envision the harm in that, in that it may lead to self destructive actions on those females that, although ARE BEAUTIFUL in themselves, feel the 'NEED' to fit into some sort of societal/cultural myopic view!
Now, if breast whipped, well that MIGHT be a different story!
No, wait, that WOULD BE a different story, quite probably, a whole different thread!
I'd be surprised that one could purchase tested plasma from the internet.
As it is considered a biological pharmaceutical, & is under regulation by the FDA & CFR's(code of federal regulations)
Medical facilities as well as not for profit orgs. should be ashamed of themselves for charging as much as they do for a donated product that costs them maybe, at most $50 from donation site to hospital delivery. Generally there is an , at least, 300 to 1000 % markup from the products that can be made from each donated unit!
I used to have flying dreams quite often when I was younger.
From what I've read it's supposed to be how you interpret astral projection(out of body experience).
Lucid dreams are dreams that you realize, basically become awake, in the dream that you are dreaming & have total control over whatever happens in the dream.
Lucid dreaming is a step toward being able to astral project at will.
While astral projecting, if you become emotional(of any type of emotion), you return to your body instantaneously no matter how far you have traveled from your corporeal body. This can be recognized by jerking awake & a very rapid heartbeat & perhaps even sweating. This is often experienced as waking suddenly from a falling dream. This is supposed to be the result of the astral body returning (reincorporating) into the corporeal body way faster than usual! Astrally(again, supposedly) you can travel to anywhere in existence, the bottom of the ocean, the moon, other galaxies & return instantaneously if you become emotional.
Again, supposedly, our different bodies are connected by a thread, called our silver/golden thread or cosmic umbilical cord.
Death is astral projection wherein the cord is severed!
Supposedly everyone astral projects at the very least a little bit out of the corporeal body when they sleep, maybe only a few inches. It is, again, supposedly how we are able to recharge with the energy of the cosmos/energy/ethereal world. When the chakras recharge!
Hey man, remember, Banks don't steal from people, Bankers do!!!
I'd probably soil myself so bad that the floor would be so slick they'd slip & fall, hit their heads, be knocked unconscious & I'd be given a huge reward for saving the Banker thieves their ill gotten monies!
Grew up on George Carlin & Bill Cosby, stand up comedy albums.
Then Robin Williams, Steve Martin, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murry, Gilda Radner & several other SNL crew. Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy & some more oldies, but goodies I'm sure I've left out! Oh yeah everybody in 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!
