Here's the deal: I brought a potted bamboo plant to work with me around a year ago, and it wasn't much more than 8" tall, including the pot. Now, the thing's almost 2 ft. high... and still going strong. It's only been under a florescent light and I've been giving it bottled water (that I get free at work). The other bamboo that I have, at home, is near a window and receives pretty good sun, gets bottled water as well, and isn't doing even half as well as my work friend. So, I'm wondering how this could be, since I have no clue how plants operate and all that.


BTW, my work bamboo is named Wasabi.

I just found out that a few people at my work, who started about the same time as I did, give or take a couple weeks, or months; are making about $2.00 or $3.00 more per hour. They do take different calls in which they are supposed to make $1 to $1.50 more, but for some reason I think they are jipping me. They always tell me I am doing good and my scores are high, but they just give me $10 gift certicicates once a month, and passes to dress casual. I would rather get a raise..Does anyone have suggestions, I need help..I need a raise..please help..I don't deserve to be used...

had some serious kinky undertones to it?

I think if you look at the characters and themes it was all very fetishised, almost BDSM-type imagery going on there.

I mean for a start Evil Lynn was blatantly modelled on a dominatrix or something http://www.he-man.org/cartoon/cmotu-pop/universe/evil-lyn-a.jpg

And you had He-Man parading around in a jock-strap looking very much the gay icon, the way Man-at-Arms was always 'punishing' Teela, the general damsel-in-distress type storylines that seem to feature in a lot of the episodes... I could go on

does anyone agree with me here? , I can't beleive they actually used to show this to us as kids I think someone was having a bit of a laugh with subliminal messages lol

What does it mean when my ex girlfriend asks my friend for my phone number?...We talked and everything was cool. We talked like nothing even happened, it felt natural. She says she wants to hang out..blah blah blah. hasnt seen me in a long time. its nice to here from me...yada yada. She tells me to call her before I come up. I get a phone call from her a week and half later. I tell her that im coming up next weekend. She tells me that she gave our cat to someone. She goes into details about a dude she has been seeing at work and says she wont be around this weekend becasuse she is going camping with her boyfriend.

Why do I need to know that??? lol. Why would u tell me that?? Is she nuts? i didnt contact her, i text her 2 weeks later and said "whats up?" she responded..."do you need something?"
i dont get it. We went out for 5 years and have been apart for 7 months now. Keep in mind too that SHE asked one of my friends "So I hear he's got a Girlfriend now?" that's how it began.I don't!

All of the users on our network can access the Access 2000 DB on the server, except for one person who keeps getting the above error, "File could not be locked".

I can also use his ID from a different PC and log in successfully.

The databased is set to "shared", not "exclusive".

He had no problems originally accessing the DB until the day that I had to
repair his Office installation to fix a problem he was having with Outlook.

I've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling office, with no success.

i have been reading up on this word and the holiday (which we know comes from paganism - we still do a lot of it), but did you know this?

Christ Mass - Death of Christ - the word mass also means eating the flesh of your sacrificed god, which is what Roman Catholics believe they do during the eucharist (lord's supper/communion)

I also just read that mass can mean "dismissal" - which would make Merry Christmas mean the dismissal of Christ.

Does anyone else have any knowledge about the origin of this word or origin of this holiday?


I have always celebrated Christmas, but may begin doing it differently after this knowledge. :) Thanks for any info.

another user levied this accusation. I've could not think of a single rap song where a rapper reffered to white people as crackers. So I thought I would do a rudimentary search.

Interestingly the only rapper in these results to use the word was Eminem.

Anybody have other examples of rappers calling white people cracker?

...it were discovered that another country was using the exact same tactics to get info from US soldiers that the US uses on suspected (and actual) terrorists? what if that countries leaders said that what they were doing was not torture, yet refused to define what they believed to be or not to be torture?

would you be ok with this treatment of our soldiers? shouldn't (and isn't there) an international standard that all nations should uphold concerning human rights? if a nation refused to uphold and protect human rights, then how could that nation expect other countries not to treat their POW's any differently?

I believe that there are major discrepensies in the family courts and very illegal activities to include abuse of non-custodial parents, one sided representation and hearings,dragging out legal procedings to unfairly disadvantage the non-custodial parents by court costs while the custodial parent gets free legal services from the state.
