Joel, I would have to turn them in. This is no friend, they have just set you up as aiding and abetting them in their crime. If they really wanted to keep it a secret they would have kept it to themselves.
This is as bad as someone asking you to do them a favor before telling you what the favor is. They want something from you or to involve you in something. If they were a friend they would tell you what the favor is then ask you.
I generally buy one bottle of wine while on vacation. At the end of the day when I get back to the resort, I will put candles all around the Jacuzzi tub. I like to put fragrant bath salts in the water, light the candles, turn the lights outs, pour a glass of wine, and turn on some soft music. The flickering lights of the candles, the wine, and the warm water is just so relaxing.
I have white ceramic tile with gray grout through out the house. It helped my allergies to get rid of the carpet years ago. Did have 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, but I will have to tear down one bedroom, the slab is cracked. One of the bedrooms is my sewing/craft room. The walls were all painted french vanilla color for the past 8 years, which I am planning on changing. The kitchen cabinets were birch which I had pickled to give a new look to 8 years ago, now I am going to paint the doors a medium green and the frames a dark green to change the look and the appliances are white and black. I have a dutch formal dining table, chairs and china cabinet. The bathrooms fixtures and cabinets are white. I need to replace the furnishings, but this time not have as much in the house. The outside of the house is white brink veneer with pink mortar. No garage or carport, just a double driveway.
I really don't care which way it hangs as long as there is more then one or sheets on the toilet paper roll. I don't understand why someone leaves just that one or two sheets that is glued to the cardboard roll. It is like they are playing some kind of joke on the next person. What are they too lazy to put a fresh roll on or is it that hard for them to unwrap?
Well, that is alot of women to hate in the continents of the Americas. That would be any woman born on North America, Central America, and South America. Also the terrorities that they claim. Could it be that they love the men instead?
I am glad it is not all British men! To the British men that still love women no matter where they are from a and a !
Hon, it is just like when you ask questions that are generalizations about Americans. I have been seeing alot of things on here lumping all of the US citizens and others that live on the continents of the Americas in to one mold. It is not out of this thread when the subject matter is a put down to all Americans. It was a question that if something is so bad, why do so many people want in?
He seems to go both ways on the War in Iraq. He is just another newscaster trying to make his self known. He put down the U.S. saying all they care about is money, yet he is selling his ties that he wears on his newscast for big bucks. I say if you want to read more about him go ahead, but don't judge everyone in the U.S. by his comments.
By the way, he is not very knowledgeable if he doesn't know that Americans isn't just the U.S. citizens. Have you asked yourself the question, if the United States is so bad, why are there so many trying to immigrate to it?
I can say I used to believe legalizing would stop alot of the things. But upon looking at the problems much closer and having it in my face daily changes that belief. Like most people I grew up around drugs, I grew up with the small time peddlers. I am one of the few that made it to adulthood and still on the outside. 1/3 of the people I grew up with are in their graves, 1/3 of them are in prison, and 1/3 are out here tryng to survival and live the best they can. There are no easy solutions, but do we just throw the towel in and say I can't save them by legalizing drugs.
So far most people still don't realize that illegal drugs are being made from the legal drugs and plants. We are living the results now! It will be no better to legalize these drugs, instead you will just give them reasons to do more and for more people to do them. They start to think if it isn't good for they would have never legalized it.
Did you know that kids are going into the grocery stores buying, vanilla extract and drinking it, because it is pure alcohol and you don't need to be of age to buy it. A lot of the extracts are pure alcohol. Yes, that smell of vanilla on your child, could be them getting high. For years kids were buying cough medicine and drink the bottle to get high. There is enough legal substances out there to get high off of. All of those tax dollars are not going towards education or help.
The point is that many of the drugs on the market have been taxed already when they were legal. Where is all that money from those prescription and over-the-counter drugs going? It sure is not going toward help for anyone or to educate.
People are still inhaling paint fumes, but I don't see any tax dollars from paint going towards helping people with this addiction or educating people to not inhale.
How much of those tax dollars we spend on our gardens is going towards educating people and helping people that are using plants to get high?
In this world we have to be very careful of what we wish for!
What I am saying is that legalizing and taxing, does not ensure any benefit to help people or educate them.
Right now meth is being made with legal over the counter medications that are taxed, it is doing damage to people and their family. Meth is made from legal drugs, only thing that is illegal is the process to make it and selling it. Prescription drugs are legal and taxed when it is for the person it is prescribed for, but when it is being sold to get high it is illegal. Remember there are many legal plants in your garden that are being used to get high.
Most people would be in shock at how little the law enforcement agencies are getting to fight the multitude of ordinances and laws being made everyday. So little is being done to education people. Yes, it is easy to say legalize it and tax it, let them O.D. But if it is your child on drugs, you would want them to get help to get off of it.
In today society we have all seen someone on drugs, it now seems so common. We ignore, back away from the individual. When was the last time you really looked and realized this is someone child, brother, sister, mother, or father. Please google, No more sunsets, look at the trailer, it is the life of someone on meth.
Funny thing, I work in a jail. They come in junkies, we have taken their picture when arrested and put it on an I.D. These same people go through withdrawls cold turkey. They are eating 3 meals a day and showering. Their appearance changes so much that they hardly look like the I.D. anymore after just a couple of months. Some will never be released, they can't think clearly and care for their self, drugs have eaten their brain, so they stay with us until a bed opens in a sanitarium.
If we legalize we better be prepared for the consequences. We will need more hospitals and sanitariums to care for these people. The cost of care for these individual will out weight the cost of legalization. What we really need is to educate the next generation on the dangers of drugs and what it does to the person and their family.
I must have been lucky in the past with the pets. I feed the dogs the same as I feed the parents, fresh vegetables, low sodiun, low fat, low sugar diet. Diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and many other things the parents had, so soups and most meals were made with fresh or frozen vegetables. I would even bake my own bread to get away from the extra salts, sugars, and preservative.
I was no longer caring for the parents when I got these 2, so that is why they have been on regular dog food.
Not very recent, it is generations old here. It is along the same lines as the rythm they have jumped-roped to for generations.
Last night, the night before, 24 robbers came knocking at my door, I ran upstairs to get my gun, and when I came down, you should have seen them run, one ran east, one ran west, and on ran underneath a ladies' dress!
I am starting to really wonder about that. Most dogs on a farm are fed table scraps, they very seldom need a vet and live a long time. I know the dogs we had that was fed table scraps and dog food lived to be 12 years old. The one dog that ate nothing but table scraps, fried ground meat patties, and homemade soup lived to be 16 y.o.
The 2 I have now eat mostly processed dog food and every now and then table scraps are both about 8 years old. So I am not sure the vets that say nothing but dog food is good for them. Before there were dog food manufacturers and fridge-ration, pets ate table scraps.
I just saw that the only ingredient that is all of the recalled dog food has is whey gluten according the vet and that any dog food with that should be avoided.
More and more pet foods are being recalled. Are you now thinking of feeding you pet from the table? Right now I am wishing I was in my regular kitchen to fix my dogs some decent food. People used to think we were crazy cooking for our dogs and giving them table scraps. With the last two dogs they have been fed only processed dog food. Now with more and more pet foods being recalled I am thinking of cooking food for them.
I have a job, I hear from everyone that they pay my salary, but they forget I pay taxes too. School teachers make more money then I do with overtime and my life is on the line everyday. I make just enough not to be eligible for food stamps. These are the things I cut out: Cable or Satellite TV, newspapers, going to the show, eating fast food, buy grocery on a regular basis, prescription medication (I use over-the-counter), doctor visits (my doctors are more then 100 miles away due to Katrina).
I live a real life and work a lot of overtime, so I don't need to see a bunch of reality TV, I live it. I have Internet to get up to the minute news, don't need the newspaper. Why should sit in a place that smells, has messy floors, loud people talking and you can't hear the movie? I can just ask around, someone has bought the movie I wanted to see and I can watch it when I have the time in the comforts of my own home. Most fast food places are closed when I go to work, I am not allow to leave to pick up something at work, so I eat what the inmate kitchen workers fix for the inmates. I only buy groceries when I know I will have a regular day off and I buy non carbonated drinks to bring to work instead of putting money in the drink machine. Doctors are too far away to go for every ache and pain, so I just ask the pharmacist what would be a good over the counter-medication for my symptoms. Cheap and effective, if it doesn't help then I would seek out a doctor. Yes, I cut corners, that is how I survive on one paycheck. Would I trade my life for someone elses? No.
