I ask because I've been following the Brian Shaffer case. He's the med student from Ohio who went missing in April. It's like he vanished. You hear stuff all the time about people just vanishing. Where do they go? How come they are not found sometimes ever? It's so sad. I just feel so bad for Brian's girlfriend. I'd be DEVASTATED if my bf went missing. What can we do as a society to stop this kind of thing from happening? What can we do to find these people?

Here's a link to his story in case you have never heard about it.

I hear it a lot on the immigration board. Some I don't find racist but others do-so what is your definition? And why do you feel it applies to immigration?

One thing I noticed as I was moving from 13-18 is that as a young girl you are at times at least tempted to be hypnotised by flattery from older men. You are at such a young age, so trusting of your elders and when one begins to tell you how beautiful you are its easy to fall for that flattery and fall hard. I can remember feeling almost a hypnotised feeling coming over me as I heard these repeated flirty remarks being said to me over and over again. Then add to that the love you have or desire you have for a father figure at that point in your life and yowwwww.... its tough to resist... What can I do as a young person to deal with this ? Is there a better place of safety by being around older women as elders ?

Roberta went to spend her tickets at the local arcade the other day, she wanted to start a collection of small plastic animals. The plastic animals cost 28 tickets each.

However, she got it in her head that, for good luck, the total amount of tickets she must spend must be a number where all of the digits are the same.

With that in mind, what is the minimum number of ANIMALS she must buy?



*hint* Find out how many tickets she must spend, then divide it by 28. The amount of tickets will be high. *hint*

I will be suprised to see how many people can figure this out.

I seriously never knew until recently.
I recently just saw pictures of her and her father for the first time and saw that her father is black. I have seen many photos of Beyonce and her mother Tina in the past and her mother looks white or maybe hispanic. Her mother even has green eyes!
Beyonce's skin tone is seriously lighter than mine and I am white.

So can somebody tell me her nationality? I'm just curious.

I always thought she was biracial, or white, or hispanic, or maybe part black...

Now the death toll is 9/11 times two. U.S. military deaths from Iraq and Afghanistan now match those of the most devastating terrorist attack in America's history, add casualties from chasing terrorists elsewhere in the world, and the total has passed the Sept. 11 figure. What are your thoughts on this?

For some reason, I never took the time to look at the JFK video of his assaination. I guess my generation didn't really think about JFK and his legacy. I must say that the whole thing was so horrific that I almost vomitted. It was so upsetting to see his skull be blasted open, his brain matter scattered over the car, and his scalp flapping in the wind. But the most moritfying thing was seeing his poor wife desparately trying to collect his brain matter from the car in pure shock, terror, and insainty. Did she think she could put it all back into his skull and sew it back up? This was a living man, a handsome charasmatic man that on video and instantly had his head explode for everyone to see. I began to cry and wonder how something like this could happen everyday in our lives. It made me appreciate life.

God, it was so horrible, was anyone else as moved by this film as I was?

I'm not talking about "I broke up with my bf/gf 3months ago" type solitude, I mean true depressing isolation. I'm 35 years old and to be honest I have had a grand total of 4 months worth of true companionship in my life, and it's NOT by choice. I go out to bars, movies, fairs, etc. so I'm not a hermit or anything. It just seems no matter what I do, say, or try, I end up being alone. The worst thing is everyone who's ever met me thinks I'm an actual honest to god gentleman, but even that doesn't help. The solitude I feel can't be cured by friends, after this amount of time, it's not enough, no matter where I am, or who I'm with I feel alone. And after this much time the loneliness is like a manifestation chewing on my soul, and NO shrinks aren't the answer either. I feel the only thing that will cure this is actual companionship. So, if you've been alone as long as I have, how do you deal with it?, Do you feel like death is the only true release.

"My penis is erect with the scent of buttsecks?" Wtf...?

Ninety-nine percent of fanfiction is such utter crap! Please, write something original. The world doesn't need "super-kewl Harry Potter/Inuyasha/Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Lord of the Rings crossoverz!!1!!one," dammit! Sure, some of it's okay, but slash and badly-written things are enough to make one's eyes bleed.

Anyone agree?
