What is a Lote-Tree? ;-)
Oooh, my mum makes special soup when I got a cold. It usually has a LOT of POTATOES, fresh clover and carrots. If you're a meat eater, then have some chicken soup. Then drink as much tea as you can take and drink honey.Quote:

The Lote Tree is not an actual tree on Earth, but a mystical Islamic metaphor concerning the uppermost boundary in knowledge a human being can possess concerning God. It comes from the Qu'ran chapter 53, An-Najm (The Star), verses 10-18 and alludes to Muhammad's night journey from Mecca to Jerusalem and then through Heaven. "The Lote Tree of the furthest boundary," as it is called, is believed to be the furthest anyone can travel in Heaven in their approach to God; beyond this none can pass.

Sorry. Just an online book club kind of thing.
Being a fangirl is very tough. Being obsessed with the same band is equally as hard. My ears long for their music 24/7 and it is proving to be tough for me to stop thinking about them. Have you ever felt this way, o baki? Why do music have to be this infectious and er, powerful? And what do you think is the most powerful form of art there is?
I always feel that way, i'm always singing on my head my favorite band's music, and even yesterday I dreamed about them! :eek:Quote:

I don't think there's a most powerful form of art. Art is art. Anything that can make us feel emotion and amazement is a powerful facet of art.'
but I would have to say human beings are, they're art, creating art, and ain't that powerful? ♥
Why is it that all my threads die?
all that lives must die or be forgotten.'Quote:

Why on seeing care being returned for no care so many times, some still say you only reap whatever you sow?
Question of the day- My grandfather died this morning, why have I not cried yet? Is it bad that I haven't?
Because you're either in shock or denial, specially if you were close.Quote:

Because people are dumb like that and pretend the world is a fair place when clearly it's not.Quote:

hey Baki, I need some info about emo kids.
lately, I've seen some couples of emo girls walking around either hand in hand or just walking around together... the point is, they were styled so similarly that they looked almost like twins. was that only my impression or is there really an emo trend where girls try to look identical?
plus, the ones who hold hands, are they lesbians or best friends or both?
last term, I had those two girls in my tutorial who looked 98% alike. they didn't wear emo clothes or dye their hair, but they looked so similar, I never knew which was which. they weren't related or anything.
One of them was a really mean ***** and kept disrupting our sessions, so I had to snarl at her. but I was never really able to figure out which of them to snarl at.
I thought it was only me, because I often have difficulty remembering the names of girls when they all wear the same clothes, hair style etc... but after seeing those emo twins I'm beginning to think that my girls were the sort of lesbian who hate talking to anyone else... or maybe emo best friends who hate everyone else ???? :confused:
Now you speak of it! Reading is actually a stimulus to get me day-dreaming. :(Quote:
And if daydreaming is your problem just busy up yourself with reading!
Ah and coffee doesn't work. Even with my eyes open, I dream.
hahah, don't worry about that Pensy, it's perfectly normal for teenagers to dream and/or daydream all the time. I was the same at your age and still am :)Quote:

Is one a fool for allowing his heart to be broken due to a failed long distance internet love affair?
not at all, is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Just be sure to practice internet safety :) People are never who they say they are.Quote:

Why do some people wash their hair without showering the rest of their body and other people wear shower caps so their hair does get wet when they shower?
"stone washed" jeans: As the name implies, freshly dyed jeans are loaded into large washing machines and tumbled with stones. Adding pumice stones gives the additional effect of a faded or worn look. The pumice abrades the surface of the jeans like sandpaper, removing some dye particles from the surfaces of the yarn.Quote:

"Acid Washed": At first the Acid Wash process involved soaking pumice in Industrial Strength Chlorine however is was discovered that potassium permanganate was more controllable and just as strong an oxidizer. They simple(sic) marinated pumice stone in it and then vacuum packed the stone to the required moisture level. Acid wash was a chemical processed denim that stripped the top layer of color off to a white surface with the undertones of navy blue remaining in the jeans. And not only jeans were acid washed; if you were truly fashionable, you also had an acid washed denim jacket that matched said acid washed jeans."

A) because they were never instructed on proper shower procedure or got dirty hair and a clean body.Quote:

Bakiryu, do you think the world woudl be a better place if Alexaner the Great hadn't died at 32, but had gone on to conquer most of the rest of the known world? What about if he had died before he became "the Great?" I know this question is random, but I have been reading a lot of counterfactuals lately and I'm curious about your opinion.
I once worked overnights at a place that turned regular dark jeans into stone washed jeans. Talk about a crappy job! It's really rocks and there are different kinds of rocks that make different shades of jeans- I'm allergic to all of themQuote:
