When you die, the hospital revives you. It takes 20 minutes before you can play again. Best way to not get attacked is to not carry any money on you unless you're in hospital.

What's your character's name?

Should rich people be able to purchase organs from poor people if they both agree on a price? Their bodies, their choice.

If not that, then why is prostitution illegal? I understand your reasoning, but the net result is the same. A person is getting paid to have sex. I don't think the government has any business regulating ANYTHING between two (or more) CONSENTING adults. I think they should legalize it, license it, and then tax it just like any other service.

Team total to date: $1,735.00

I have a tiger, and I was trying to figure out if I'm supposed to train her or just race her?

I tried the burning thing once (with very cheap absinthe), and all I could taste was burned sugar. Maybe that was because it was cheap absinthe, I don't know, but I couldn't bring myself to try it with the good stuff.

Well, thanks! You're fun to argue with... you keep it polite and to the issues. I like that. =)

More like the late 20th century. "What about setting the sugar on fire? You'll see that on TV, in movies and in the promotional material of certain products, usually "absinths". It is an abomination, looked upon with disgust by all true absinthe enthusiasts. It has no logical or historical basis whatsoever. Do you want your drink to taste like burnt sugar? Do you want to set yourself on fire? Absinthe burns almost as well as gasoline. The burning sugar "ritual" is, to borrow the words of absinthe historian Benoit Noel, a "savage syncretism", born in the 1990s in the Czech Republic, born of the same ignorance that led the "absinth" producers there to produce the awful swill that goes under the name. The intention was probably to piggyback on the late 1980’s success of flaming sambuca and the like. In summary, the original Czech producers knew as little about serving absinthe as making absinthe, so they made up their "tradition" as they went along. Unfortunately, the movie From Hell, in which Inspector Aberline, played by Johhny Depp, not only burns his sugar but doses his drink with Laudanum (a solution of opium in alcohol), gave this savage syncretism worldwide play, and new legends die as hard as old ones." -http://www.oxygenee.com/absinthe-faq.html

Nope. Sugar and water, yes, but no fire.

Absinthe does not have LSD in it. It does have thujone, but with the amount contained in absinthe, you'd end up with alcohol poisoning before you started hallucinating. You're not supposed to set it on fire, either. That came from a movie.

You mean either parallels OR boot camp...you don't need both. I use boot camp but wish I had parallels. I hate having to shut down and reboot into winblows...but it does run windows great. I said AND because, like you said, there are advantages to one over the other. Parallels doesn't require a reboot, while boot camp does, but is better at running windows. Parallels is more convenient, but some applications require boot camp if they are to run properly (my law school test software, for example). I know several people with both, and they use them both, depending on the application. They're two different tools, although similar, and using one is sometimes easier than using the other.

I'm down 3 pounds (just started 8 days ago, though). I'm focusing on eating a low calorie (1600) and low fat (less than 15g per meal) diet, since I can't work out as much as I'd like, since my sprained ankle is still not strong enough for me to do the things I love to do to exercise. I can walk through a karate class right now, but that's about it. No kicking, no jumping, no dancing, no climbing. Swimming is fun, but the timing is problematic since the gym pool is so crowded after work that I've found myself waiting an hour for space in a lane. I just don't have the discipline to get on one of those hamster wheel machines and pedal or climb stairs and go nowhere... It's frustrating, because although I'm happy about losing 3 pounds, I'm annoyed that it could've been more if I'd been more active.

But there could be an invisible, but omni-present, omicient, omnipotent Crow in the box who chooses to remain invisible so you have to take his existence solely on faith and on the Word of the holy writings of Dropzone.com (which, of course, are self-authenticating because they are the works of many authors in many locations over many years and are brought together to spread the Word)....couldn't there?

You just move. Houses increase your awake level. You don't need to increase your awake level to buy. I bought the Palm Frond hut first, A Room at the Inn second, and just bought a Large House.

damn... I wish I could tell you to talk to GirlFallDown... The NorCal wineries are lots of fun! It would be worth the trip. I don't remember which wineries are good to visit up there, though. A wine tour might be a good idea, since they will bus you so you don't have to worry about driving after lots of wine.

Nerve raises automatically as you level. I'm level 8 and have 11 nerve.

I don't think they can steal clothing items. I've only managed to mug/attack people and gain cash. As for acquiring items, just send a message to someone who has vault control. My character's name is Morgaina. Send a message to me, and I will loan you what you need.

MacBook with Parallels and Boot Camp. That will allow you to boot up in either windoze or MacOS. Comes with a ton of software already. I don't think I'd be able to function without my Mac laptop.

The trick is to FIRST, go pick a fight you will lose. I usually search for level 100+. Then, AFTER you're in the hospital, get your money and buy your pants. You can do everything but commit crime while in hospital.

When I travel, I try to find something to decorate my home with. I picked up a volcano rock trivet in Hawaii, a little juju guardian in New Orleans, an oil lamp in Death Valley, a kitchen utensil holder in Joshua tree, and a vase from Waterford, Ireland. Makes my place a little more interesting...

Awesome! Just record it online so we can keep track.

done. Name it whatever. =) We need a pirate smiley.

Apparently, yes.
