  2. lol... then go buy the jolly ranchers and get them to give me back my lime lifesavers!!!! pweese?????
  3. get a cat. preferably a bengal tiger, but if the tiger is unavailable, a standard variety housecat will do.
  4. Lifesavers has RUINED their candy!!!! They replaced the lime flavor with WATERMELON!!! It's f-ing NASTY and tastes like a watermelon jolly rancher. d'oh. I'm pissed. new flavors are: cherry watermelon pineapple raspberry orange they had blackberry instead of orange, and so many people complained that they took it out and put orange back... help me get them to do the same for lime?? I miss my green lifesavers. They were my favorite!!!!! http://www.candystand.com/lifesavers/default.htm please, please, please, go here and click on "contact us" and send them a comment asking them to put lime back in the roll where it belongs! If you don't care one way or another, just do it for me, ok??
  5. They are removing it. The two heads share an artery, which is worrying doctors, but since the girl's own head isn't developing like it should because the parasitic head is causing problems, they have to remove it.
  6. I have two friends over there. Used to be five, but three are home safe now! I send them letters every single day. They write back when they can. I even write when I don't have anything to say other than chat about the weather or the news or whatnot, because they love getting mail. Apparently just knowing someone's thinking and cares enough to write helps.
  7. they could list it under "occupation" or "interests" where you have write-in fields rather than dropdown menus.
  8. http://www.cnn.com/2004/HEALTH/02/06/dominican.two.heads.ap/index.html edited: I found the story. Its a case of "parasitic twin" syndrome, or craniopagus parasiticus. another article: MIAMI (Reuters) - An international team of doctors hopes to operate in the Dominican Republic next month to remove an undeveloped second head from a baby girl born with one of the world's rarest birth defects, caused when a conjoined twin fails to develop in the womb. The baby, Rebeca Martinez, was born in mid-December at a hospital in Santo Domingo with the head of an undeveloped twin attached to the top of her skull, facing upward. ... Her condition, craniopagus parasiticus, is so rare that there have only been eight documented cases in the world, and no known cases where surgery has been attempted to correct it, Hazim said in a telephone interview. ... Rarer "parasitic" twins occur when one conjoined twin stops developing in the womb, leaving a smaller, incompletely formed twin that is dependent on the other. They can form as an extra limb, torso or head, or as a complete second body, lacking vital organs. In Rebecca's case, there is a gap in her skull where the heads are joined, and the blood vessels are intertwined, Hazim said. The vestigial head is enlarged and fringed with dark hair like Rebecca's but has a poorly developed brain and only rudimentary facial features, he said. here's some pictures of other parasitic and conjoined twins. SFW but maybe a little disturbing, so I'm not going to make it clicky. http://freespace.virgin.net/rachael.chrisp/freaks/conjoined2.html
  9. My fave: "Faithfully" by Journey
  10. phew. thanks, Lisa... I was getting a little worried there!
  11. BUT... that person, even if they do have 100 repacks, should not list themselves as a rigger until they have the ticket. listing oneself as a "rigger apprentice" would be more appropriate. don't claim credentials you don't have.
  12. which flight characteristics were your instructors referring to?? (now I'm curious) I jumped a spectre and I found the silhouette easier to land than the spectre!
  13. I've got a silhouette on my first rig, and three of my AFF instructors told me its a great first canopy and encouraged me to buy it. I love it, and I've had some wonderful landings.
  14. LOL. I told my mom last week (after making her install an antivirus software) that going online without an antivirus is like having sex with a stranger without a condom. There's still no guarantee you won't catch anything, but the chances are a lot less.

  16. oooohhh.... have you heard the cover of "Don't think Twice, It's Alright" by Joan Baez and the Indigo Girls?? It's one of the best I've heard!
  17. lol... there's always "50 ways to leave your lover"
  18. http://www.aria-database.com/cgibin/aria-search.pl?opera=Lucia+di+Lammermoor&a dunno if its there, though.
  19. Glad to hear you're doing better, sweetie! Call if you need anything. -K-
  20. I saw it. I didn't like it either. I didn't want to be the one to make the fuss, and I am very glad someone else had the courage to do what I didn't.
  21. He'd listed himself as a "senior rigger" in his profile, til someone called him on it.
