General: RE: Never Have I Ever...

They are disgusting. I have VERY odd cooks in my family.

Never Have I ever been blonde.

General: RE: Advice, please!

Click "Home"...

Then click "View My Profile"

Then click "Edit"

Then scroll down the page and you will see your current pictures...

There are choices of what you can do with each picture and delete is one of the options. Hope this is helpful!!!

General: RE: President

Well... my faith is restored. I stated in my last post that there is no hope in this election for a candidate with a back bone- another Ronald Reagan, but I was mistaken. I had forgotten about the vice presidential candidates. I am very proud of McCain's choice for a running mate. She has a back bone. No, I don't like her simply because she and I are both women... she tells the people the truth and, in her words, is not going to Washington to seek the approval of the media, "but to serve the people of this great nation."

I am re-energized about the election now, with the vice presidential candidates in the picture. I hope this forum will open up to the VP choices as well as the Presidential options...

(Oh, and thank you Gabriella S. for respecting my opinions about Obama. I am not getting much respect about them on campus. I now have a greater respect for you. Thanks again!)

Social: RE: strange facts
 Another onion fact: You can get rid of the onion smell on your hands by rubbing them on something steel. WEIRD I KNOW!
General: RE: curious
Chari Martinez, I think it's really awesome of you to open up like that! Kudos to you!

My personal reason for not drinking is that I know myself. I have an extremely addictive and obsessive personality, and I am battling a few (non-alcohol or drug-related) addictions already.

I know that if I felt anything from drinking, I would want to feel it again...and again until it took over my life.

Beside that, I'm 18, and it's illegal.
General: RE: aliens and classic rock

In addition to the obvious choices of Queen and Led Zeppelin, does Smokie count as classical rock? I think perhaps iTunes got it wrong listing that under 'pop'.

General: RE: If you could be any animal what animal would you be?
I've brought it down to four choices: lion, wolf, tiger, or crow. If mythical creatures count, a sphinx would be cool.
Academic: RE: gradez
I just had a good time and made all A's. finished with a 3.7 GPA. I know that will prolly drop when i start college.
General: RE: Is America More Racist or More Sexist?

Well, well Jarrod, I am not an idiot but I could see how people might think that by responding to one.  I wasn't talking about their qualifications, the point of me bringing up the topic was to discuss something totally different and outside of the scope of politics.  But if you weren't so quick to insult people but instead took time to be thoughtful maybe you would have understood what I was trying to do.

Social: socialization, drugs, and mice

You guys, check out this mouse party!

http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/units/addiction/drugs/mouse.cfm

Please watch the animations--if there is one thing I detest, it is the term "drugs and alcohol", and this animation if anything shows very well that alcohol is JUST ANOTHER DRUG (and one with the potential to cause extremely problematic effects at that...but unless you watch the animation with prior knowledge of GABA and glutamate's respective ratios to other neurotrasmitters and their respective diffuse roles/mechanisms in the brain, you probably would need more than just the animations to pick up on the potential harmful effects of alcohol, especially in comparison to various other drugs...but that's OK, you should still check these out)

Hope everyone's finals are going well!
