    But what percentage fun did they have? Because that's all that matters.

    I thought literature was all that matters.

    Having a great life is what matters. Hey do you still live in Pullman? You're my neighbor. Oops off topic! You could come over for a couple of drinks!!

    Edit: I mean some meditation.

    never get on the internet when you've been drinking!

    Thanks for the invitation, but no, I don't live in Pullman anymore. Sometimes I miss it though. It's a lovely town.

    Aw that's too bad. It's across the WA border, so quite bohemian to me actually. Well, I'll find somebody, there's a sweet one in Illinois, near Chicago I think, no I'm kidding, LOL!

    For a good time call Jenny 867-5309

    Too much time on the boat!



    edit: I think I'll go ahead and accept that friend request I got a couple of months ago.

    edit again: area code: 208!

    Tip 268 - Don't mix drugs (even prescription drugs) and alcohol

    For an hour I was clinging to the bathroom floor face down, with people threatening to call 911, and me swearing I'd never forgive them if they did!

    HaHa! I still haven't looked at everything I wrote tonight - too embarrassing! I never used to get into trouble because I never drink in public, but now that I go online it's possible to get myself into all kinds of trouble from home.

    Tip 269. Don't drink alcohol. It's everywhere in our society, but in my experience I learned it's not a good thing. I see my friends drink and see how it affects them negatively. Our society pressures us to drink, it does, in so many ways; and it makes it seem normal, sociable, acceptable, preferable, but the fact is that alcohol is a hard drug. It's better not to do any hard drugs, including alcohol, in my opinion - however unpopular that opinion may be.

    I'll put this up as a Serious Dicussion thread as well, since it would probably generate some heat.

    Tip 270: When you realise you're on a rollercoaster ride, it will be less painful if you relax, breathe and laugh the whole goddam way!

    Nothing on earth would possess me to go near a rollercoaster ride.

    Tip 271 - Don't bother changing your fuel supply.

    With the onslaught of the coming winter and energy companies continually hiking up fuel costs (in search of record profits) people are encouraged to switch energy suppliers all the time. Don't bother. You often have to wait a full year to see any saving by which time the other energy company will have also hiked up their prices above the supplier you switched from. This means that you will find yourself back at square one having saved next to nothing.

    Instead, you should just realise that there is nothing you can do about and just accept that you are being ripped off, yet again, by big business. I also suspect that the constant advice to switch is just a way to deflect the real issues involved.

    Top Tip 272: Introduce criminal law that leads to severe punishments for those who use clichés.

    I'm also happy to chair some kind of quango to identify, categorise and publicise clichés that will fall within the auspices of the new legislation. I know, I know - you don't feel that any human being should be subjected to the kind of relentless horror for which I'm volunteering. But - hey - my own well-being is of no consequence, given the crisis.

    It's great to get a good example from someone who thinks outside the box.

    Top Tip 273: Don't stick the end of your tongue into the cavity left by a tooth pulled a moment ago to see what the naked bone feels like. There is a risk of infection which outweighs the introduction to your skeleton.

    Ah, good. The legislation kicks in.


    If you'd just like to put your right thumb on this butcher's block, I'll be with you in a minute.
