MTS has never had the chance to embrace the Prime Directive!

EDIT: Just to clarify - this is a separate matter to the one above.

Blood on the Keyboard. Sounds like a facebook fan page, or a new emo band, Interwebz dodginess or the new Dresden novel. The potential uses of this phrase are staggering!

Can't be a Dresden novel - each word in the title needs to have the same amount of letters

(And yes, I realise that the British/Australian release of Small Favours ruined this by placing a 'u' in favour

)

Finally found a practical problem with the British/American English divide! ARGH!

Also Mott is no longer Queen Mott so my policy of gender specific monarchs seems to be falling on deaf ears.

What is this I see?! Outrageous!

Women should refer to themselves a queens, such as Mott did. I will change my name back to King Tiam when I can.

Brother was found and is in the hospital, getting kept in overnight as a precaution, the car they were in is totally ruined, went 70ft through the air and landed on the rail, he's bloody lucky to even be alive with some bruised tissue and possible cracked ribs/collarbone. Now its the throw him out or try again to put him on the right track debate...el sigh, been here so many times already.

Thats terrible Mott I really hope everythings ok and his injuries dont become long term.

A friend seems to have disappeared. Spoke to him on Tuesday but haven't seen a sign of him since. One of his other friends has been phoning him to no avail and while it's likely he's just gone away, it's weird that it wasn't mentioned to either of us. Said other friend has also emailed his brother (no one knows his home phone number) to try and find out what's going on -- she's actually in a bit of a state at not knowing where he is...

hmmm...hard to say. I ll have to take note on that from now on. It has just been happening once every week and half for the past yr or so. My cheeks get brighter than sunburn red for a day or two and then just peel. Like reptile peel and Im sick of it. Its embarassing. I have to go put lotion all over my face before I go anywhere or talk anyone in the face now days and Im 31 yrs old so I know its not puberty related lol....

Eczema is stress and diet related. Cut down on booze, eat fresh food and de-stress. Also don't use perfumed skin products - soaps and moisturisers. E45 cream is the best for skin complaints and you should use it twice a day even when you don't have an outbreal, I'm sure you can get E45 cream in US pharmacies. Otherwise, I know you can get all sorts of shit over the counter in the US. Can you buy hydrocortizone cream without prescription there?

1. MTS broke my phone
2. My toothache is getting to be beyond painful - painkillers barely work anymore.
3. People are trying to force me to go to the dentist.

Loki, I'm the same way, I loathe going to the dentist...it's probably because I had so much work done when I was younger that I've been scarred for life (retainers, teeth pulled, surgeries, braces, etc). That said, a few years ago I was in the same situation as you were, with a crazy-bad toothache, and I ended up going just because I literally couldn't sleep or chew or whatever. It turned out that the tooth had shifted and was impacted and I had to get it removed or it would have cracked so...yeah. Go.

You know me too well it seems.

It sucks. He was a good man with fine intentions. Politics aside.

That said, TOO many people are dying of cancer these days. It upsets me.

Forum rollback

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
