A decade later and I'm back. How's the mod for this place, does anyone know?

Forum hasn't been getting much action lately. Came across this video on Youtube. ADORABLE! Both the kid and his dad. His Thai/Lao is really good, that just makes him all that much sexier. Dad and son in Thailand.

You tell her Tina! Urgh, I get so irritated by idiots like that too. I've learned long ago it's best to end the conversation as soon as possible as soon as I figure out what kind of a person they are. Trying to reason with someone like that is a waste of breath and energy, it's like talking to a...

Currently... -Alice in Wonderland stuff -OPI nail polish -Urban Decay makeup (except for their Skyscrapper mascara, not really a fan of that) - writing - Twitter (AlexisVBeauty if you want to add) - Facebook (www.facebook.com/#/alexis.valentine2) I'm addicted to the apps. (farmville, sorority...

Creepy. And hell no. If my boyfriend got me a Blythe doll I would think he was trying to tick me off. I hate dolls in generally (creepy bastards), but those are especially creepy. And really? "I think they're smarter than other dolls..." It's a doll! They don't have brains. They're not alive...

Thanks Emilie for the bday wish!

It's disgusting. Those bystanders are as guilty as the rapists, they should be punished just as severely too. God, I hope if the world ends those SOBs are the first to go and I hope it's in the most horrible way imaginable, just so they know what that poor girl had to go through.

I'm looking for some good Thai grammar books. I can read and understand Thai but I apparently have issues with grammar. <_<

Will her healthy insurance include dental coverage? Because many people assume health includes dental when it doesn't usually. If she's getting coverage in Jan. or Feb. I'm sure she can wait until then if there's no pain but I'd suggest she cut down on the soda until then. Coffee, like tea just...

I wouldn't risk it. 1/3 of a book is still too much. If there's an excerpt on the author's site or Amazon why not just post up a link instead? I'm a member of a book forum for my favorite author. She stops by when she can but her assistant is there all the time usually, and they've talked about...

It's inappropriate at the high school level if they're underage. Underage means they're not legally adults yet, which really has nothing to do with their mentality, it's just the law. Five years older is nothing really once you've reached 18. In fact it's pretty normal. A ten year difference is...

I went to one over the weekend. My uncle finally married his girlfriend of over ten years. I was starting to wonder if they'd ever get married. They were already living together. Anyway, she's Viet, the Catholic kind so that was interesting. My best friend is Viet and Catholic and her ceremony...

Lovin' it!

Never tried it. I'd be careful about using whitening products on your skin though. Make sure it's safe by US standards.

There are very few legit places to buy Mac products for a discounted price. I wouldn't trust most of them, if it's too good to be true it probably is. You'll end up with a knock off. It's all preference. Not all expensive brands are good. Sometimes the quality is about the same as drug store...

I think all parents treat their kids different because no one is alike and it requires different parenting skills. Sometimes parents just switch their techniques with each child, learning from mistakes I guess. I'm the eldest of three and have two younger brothers. I get treated differently...

Yeah, I don't know about other countries but in the states that's illegal. Well, maybe not the strictly dating part but I think it becomes illegal when the man starts getting intimate with the minor. Tsk Tsk. I've seen it since Jr. High and I find it just as disturbing now as back then. I...

That's why I always check my bag before I drive off.

What people forget is that these drinks are suppose to "aid" not "make" you lose weight. There's a system to it. You're suppose to replace one of your meals or two with whatever it is your drinking but you also have to eat better and exercise too. I've used Slim Fast and it worked for me. I...

I remember her. I use to love her music as a child and I came across her website years ago. She had pictures of her family up. She even interacted with her fans on there. I thought she was very nice. At the time I wanted to be a singer too and she even gave me advice on it. :) So did Momay...

My new addiction is coffee. Funny how I didn't drink coffee while in the city and now that I live in some backwards town I have a cup every morning.

Weddings are expensive for just one day. How do you the couples that have done it for multiple days pull it off? When I get married I (as well as the groom) plan on paying for the wedding ourselves. I don't want my parents paying for it and I sure as heck don't want the groom's parents to pay...

Yeah, don't let your hubby go out beating him because it'll just make things worse. Your husband will probably get into more trouble than your stalker friend, because although he's harassing you he hasn't actually physically harmed or threaten you. So your husband would be at fault if he's the...

I'm sorry you have to go through that. I've gone through it myself before. The boy has psycho written all over him. It's best you cut all ties from him. If he doesn't back and still insists it's probably a good thing to get a restraining order. I was lucky in that the person that was doing the...

Damn 3 weddings is a bit excessive. I heard Indian weddings last a week. The wedding I went to over the weekend only lasted about 3-4 hours and it ended by 3pm. People hung around until 4 though. I love the venue because it was at nice resort overlooking Lake Travis. My best friend's wedding...

This is just a hypothetical question. I'm not getting married or anything. I have no plans to for a while. But I got back from an intercultural wedding and it got me wondering how certain weddings will turn out. The wedding I went to was for my boyfriend's cousin. They're Chinese but the groom...

- wallet - chapstick - 3 lip glosses - iPod - planner - inhaler - mini hand sanitizer - cell phone - eye drops - pen - a small bottle of Mary Kay hand and body lotion - Neutrogena sunblock - sunglasses - USB drive - gum - car keys - garage door opener - bottle of water - a book - tissue...

I like it. Looks more orderly. :)

I voted both, because although it's technically a way of life (then again most religions are) it's also considered a religion, or at least a spirituality? But most people lump spirituality and religion together so it still makes Buddhism a religion. haha Oh well.

haha I love Lafayette. I so need a friend like that. People have been complaining that Bill is too much of a party pooper but I don't know, I kinda like him. Eric is growing on me though. I kinda like Pam more than Eric, only because she has such a dry sense of humor. haha I love the show but...

I don't really care for Tila either, but no one deserves to be treated that way, especially by someone they're in a relationship with. As for the football player, eh...no idea who he is. But if steroids are true then well, it explains a lot. Even without the steroids from that article alone he...

Real friends understand no matter what. Yes, she might not be spending as much time with you as she normally has in the past but like others have said, people grow up and their relationships change. You have to grow and adapt if you want the friendship to last. In the end school should be her...

Great story. I'm happy for her. As for what Lome said, that's true, it's harder with children but at the same time it's slightly easier for women with children to find work and a place to stay if they're homeless. They have programs made especially for homeless women with children. As for your...

I don't think race and ethnicity matters. Those are just labels and words created by man. Before humans learned to speak I highly doubted any of that mattered. People can marry whoever they want. Mix or pure, it really doesn't matter. Besides, I highly doubt anyone is actually "pure" anything...

Me either. But I do like chocolate in general though. :D This past Valentine's Day I had my boyfriend take me to this Safari Ranch here in Texas. So much more fun than having a candlelight dinner.

People seem to have this misconception about the modeling world and models in general. I was a scout for a little while and trust me, if they approach you the see potential in you. Now, whether you book a job or not is a different story entirely. The truth is, you don't have to be tall to be a...

I'm having deja vu. I could've sworn I replied to this threat already. :huh: LOL @ KhoOnxNouxWanxJai

Legion I LOVE warrior angels! Lovin' Gabriel (I'd like to touch his wings ;) ) but slightly disappointed on their choice for Michael. He's not nearly as hot as I'd hope.

LOL "in honor of Valentine's Day"? As for moi, nope, never have and never even considered it. Even if the guy was hot and he offered me $1M, I don't think I could get myself to do it simply because I know what it is he's asking.

I noticed that too. <_<

Okay, I'm going to be blunt about this so you might want to brace yourself. I don't like to sugar coat anything. If you were my friend, especially my bff the first thing I'd do is probably slap you and then shake you, and then scream "Wake up woman!!!" Okay...now that that's out of the way...

Geez Noon, you got it rough. I feel for you and your family, especially for your niece, poor child. Honestly, moving out with her was probably the worst thing you could've done. I know you were trying to be helpful but encouraging her bad behavior isn't helpful. She's an adult so you can't...

You can think what you will but like you said, the woman has the power and she can do as she pleases with it when it comes to the dating world. As for giving a real number to a potentially crazy guy. I'm sorry, if for a second I think he can go psychotic on me why the heck would I give him my...

Well, yes, like you said, this works on NORMAL men but all men are not equal and luckily I've never had much experience with crazy insistent men. If a woman says no she's not interested, regardless of her reason, no means no. She doesn't know the guy so she doesn't have to explain anything to...

Sorry, I wasn't sure which thread to place this if it needs to be move please do so. Anyway, the shout out thread reminded me that I didn't share my video with you guys. Karen Marie Moning's (my fav. author) publishing company had a contest for the readers. The contest was to create a book...

I just tell them I have a boyfriend whether I have one or not at the time. :D If that doesn't work I'll give them that "You've got to be kidding look," and walk away. haha If the guy's still hitting on me even after I tell him I have a boyfriend then he's the type of guy that doesn't deserve...

:lol: When I read the title at first I thought what? P'Bird shaved his head and his wondering around in Laos? haha Interesting bird.

Exactly! He complains that he doesn't see me enough but also complains about having to travel the distance. I'm like dude, If I can deal with it so can you!

haha yeah, I'm not old but still I'm not a teenager anymore. I'm getting closer to 30 and it's freaky me out a little. No, I have no expectations to get married any time soon. I know neither of us are ready. He just started a new job and is starting grad school. He's on the right path to his...

I'm not demanding anything of him. I spent a lot of time, money and energy in this relationship. Unless you've done the same in a relationship that you've been in for many years you wouldn't understand. I don't expect anything but the same treatment and respect that I give him. I've been in his...

To sum up the beginning I'm moving to OK in a couple of weeks. I use to live alone in Houston and saw my boyfriend every single day. Then when I moved back home to Austin (my parents begged me too and the economy went to hell, and well I didn't have a job) and my boyfriend moved to San Antonio...

I've never attended by my brother did. From what I gathered it looked more like a place for troubled youths or people with no prior education. My dad attended when it came to America and my brother did after he quit high school and got into trouble. I thought jobcorps was good for my brother, it...

Yeah, I think it's sleep paralysis. You're probably imagining the part about having your eyes open because I've had that happen many times before. Then again, I didn't even think of the spirit think until my Vietnamese friend bought it up and she said it was the way I was sleeping, so I changed...

I'm not sure where you're from but if you're in the states you can ship live animals you just have to go to the post office and ask them how to properly do it, otherwise the animal will die. In most cases it's done over night. Fish aren't so bad because it's not like they need air to breathe and...

RS has been kinda strange lately. They are accepting my reviews automatically been then all of sudden the last batch is taking much longer. They're book reviews but I've had a lot of book reviews be accepted. Not sure what's up.

I'm working on a project (for a prize) that's due by Friday and I'm having the damnedest time trying to find blood dripping effects/transition. I'm not using it for text, so I'm guessing it's more of a transition for an image/video clip I'll be using. I'm looking for something that I can...

I always click on non exclusive in case I want to resell it or republish it somewhere else. If you publish with them for "exclusive" you can't republish that article anywhere else, whether you get paid for it or not. I occasionally publish exclusive with them back when I first started out...

I haven't gotten anything either. I signed up a couple years ago but didn't know what it actually was. My first "article" was a mistake I was making a comment on the subject and had no idea it was considered an article. :lol: I haven't written hardly anything, aside from the first one I...

Woohoo! Congrats Lome! :clap: That's so funny, I just found out you're on Helium. Me too!

I've never seen anyone but their DOB or age on a resume before but what do I know. :P Name always goes on top. Then current home address - phone number - e-mail address Then the rest is as usual: Education/achievements language/skills Work experience

Who's that? It has to be someone from Sarnworld because I don't know any Lao/Thai person from anywhere else. I got a few e-mails from this person sending me photos but I didn't open the e-mail. I didn't recognize the name so I wasn't sure if it was safe to open. Looks like I wasn't the only one...

Urgh...I read this before bed last night and I dreamt of zombies. Scary...

My parents bought some. I don't buy into those products. If you want to lose weight and keep it off just eat healthier, and exercise. Drinking regular green tea will also boost your metabolism. No need to buy special products.

You know, killing a baby due to postpartum depression is one thing but dude...eating your own child? Okay, if that's no considered crazy then I don't know what is. I'm sorry but anyone that eats another human being when they don't have to, and their own child no less, has got some serious mental...

Which one AC or RS? I'm getting referral money from somewhere for RS so I'm guess it was you. haha So yeah, I'm getting it. The review process should take only 72 hours not including weekends and holidays. It seems long when you're first starting out. I don't even bother waiting I just keep...

That's strange, I've never heard of anyone being allowed to move to the next grade if they didn't meet the requirements. Not sure what that says about your brother's school but...I won't go there. :P It would make more sense if the school made him some sort of deal, like take summer school or...

Same as articles. Most of my articles for AC are reviews but it's much better written than my RS reviews. The price varies, there's no set but I've never gotten anything less than $3, most are $4 and up. If you don't like writing try their video, audio or photo area. The videos that don't pay...

My articles for AC? It varies. I'm not sure how they calculate the worth but I've gotten everything from $3.50 to $10 an article. I just submitted one from their assignment desk and if it gets accepted by their partners then I get paid $20 for that one. Yeah, RS kinda gets glitchy sometimes...

Oh for Associated Content, no you don't have to claim assignments. There are rarely any good assignments up these days. They use to do a special thing monthly but they don't anymore. What I do is write articles on my interests, I also write reviews but they're better written the ones I write for...

There's a search box in there type in "by Liberty" and it'll pull up all of my reviews. :) Thanks. What's yours? I'll vote for your reviews too.

Aww..that's so weird not sure why not. But you're still able to write reviews right?

No problem. :) Good luck. At the rate I'm going I'm estimating that I'm going to make at least $200 this month.

Sorry Quarter, wish I knew of some but I don't. Oh for those trying Reviewstream make sure your reviews are at least 400 word min. They'll take anything as long as it's at last 350 words but I just figured out that to get the full $2 for a product review you need at least 400 words. ETA...

Thanks Lome! And good luck! The reviews are easy AND I just got my first payment with Review Stream today. Yay :yahoo: It didn't take long for them to process it and send in into my paypal account. With AC I get paid every time my article gets an offer (I have maybe two rejects since I've been...

Everything by Karen Marie Moning, especially her current Fever series. Most books by Katie MacAlisters are good too, she's a very funny, witty writer. Patricia Brigg's Mercy Thompson series. No sex, some romance but it's a whole lot of kick-ass action with vamps, werewolves, shape shifters...

Here are a few sites that I use if you don't mind writing. You can't rich off of it but you definitely get paid for your work unless your a very bad writer and they reject your reviews and articles. That I can't help you with, it's a personal thing. Associated Content I've been with them for...

Y2K was a joke. People made it out to be a bigger deal than it actually was. I still can't believe people were freaking out about that. :rolleyes: As for 2012...I don't know. I honestly don't think it'll be an "end of the world" situation. If anything happens at all I think it'll be a major...

hahaha I'm with you. You can barely make out what it is. Seriously, if they find something like this they could've at least taken pictures with a quality camera, it's so blurry. You can tell if it's real or just a snake that had tried to eat something. I was gonna say a monkey but I don't...

Thanks guys! He's not bad looking in normal clothing and hair.

Can anyone tell me the actor's name in this? The guy with the old Thai outfit on and heavy on the bronzer. picture

haha sorry to laugh but I hear this same story a lot from my boyfriend. He works in debit card fraud for Chase/WaMu and he gets calls all the time from people who sign up for "free" trials and then find out later that they're being charged $100 something dollars for membership fees, etc. He was...

I think it's TGN, it's one of those Thai channels that you get through satellite. My dad saw something on the news I think it was yesterday about a lady that's part snake or something. I didn't see it but my dad wants me to find it because my mom wants to see it. My dad said the lady's bottom...

Woohoo! I just heard that there might be a season six but it's not for sure yet. At least we have season five to look forward to.

What does it taste like to you? I've only ever eaten the ones with the little duckies in them. Not too fond of the baby ducks in there, kinda freaky but I tried it. It taste almost like a grown duck but not as dry. I really just like the yolk. I know it's super fattening but it's so much better...

They did give a warning about the DTV warning. In fact President Obama even pushed the date back to what it is now because he was worried some people wouldn't be ready for it. So, don't say they didn't warn ya. I'm curious though, how are you watching TV if you don't have either cable or...

The second season starts tomorrow, woohoo! I don't have HBO but I watch it online. I've heard people talking about it but didn't think to watch it until a few nights ago. Can't believe I went this long without watching this show!

It'll be coming this Fall. I'm guessing they'll start airing it when the Fall series start airing for the CW. The show is in the Thurs. lineup with Supernatural, they bumped Smallville to Friday. As for the ripoff thing. It's true that vampire stories have been going on for ages but people are...

It'll be on the CW network, premiering in the Fall I think. From the trailer it looks good. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. It does look a little like Twilight from some of the previews but before anyone thinks that it's a rip off of Twilight let me assure you that it's not...

Sounds like if she wants a man to commit she needs to really find someone else. For a relationship to work there needs to be a compromise and if her bf is willing to do the same for her than she needs to reevaluate her relationship. I don't understand the fascination many women have with getting...

Yeah, what she said.

Thanks guys!

hm..cool. Any other takers? Chandra isn't quite the same pronunciation but I guess the language differences could be the reason. But yeah, any Thais or Laotians who have other ideas? ETA: Oooh I think I found it. I just googled the name and it came up as a Thai restaurant name in Thailand...

This has been driving me nuts for years. I've gone by my middle name since I was born but when people find out what my first name is they ask me what it means. I don't know what to tell them except that it has to do with the moon. My brother's first name means moon light, he gets the easy one...

I always watch Supernatural and catch Grey's online. I do it because CW takes forever to put up their episodes and when they do their site tends to lag. Then there's the ratings issues. CW is a smaller network and if they don't get enough viewers they'll cut their losses. I've heard him be...

haha you can wear them in the rain as long as you don't standing in the pouring rain with your head looking up, eyes wide open. I wouldn't recommend wearing it swimming though. It's not that they're not safe it's just that if it's not made for swimming it'll most likely just wash out of your...

I haven't watched Grey's Anatomy since season one but I wouldn't be watching except that I caught one episode of this season (recap) that got me hooked. So I went and watched the entire season and just finished it. I'm looking forward to next season. Christina is definitely my fav. character. I...

The key to writing something you're not familiar with is research and imagination. There's only so much research you can do but without imagination you'll be lacking in depth. Just picture yourself as a stalker, pretend to be someone you're not and put yourself in their shoes. If it helps...

Ahhhh!!! I'm so stressed out. I need a job SOON! Why won't anyone call me back???!!! Ahh!!!! :(

Your True Love Is an Aries Why you'll love an Aries: An Aries has the red-hot seduction skills to woo you Never boring, an Aries will give you the romantic challenge you crave! Why an Aries will love you: You have the intensity and energy to go head to head with your Aries... And the undying...

Aww your cute. Wish I had your eyebrows.

I get that Davis had abandonment issues and it makes what Chole did even worse. She basically just led the guy on. Yes, she could've tried to save him but she didn't have to lead him on emotionally. I get that Jimmy had to die, from the ending with his little brother I'm guessing his brother is...

I think they had it planned for five seasons to kill it while it's on a high instead of dragging it out and wasting money. As much as I loved Buffy, that show went on much longer than it should've. It was because of the fans but I think because it dragged on for so long with not much material...

I'm so ticked off with the season finale of Smallville. I no longer like Chole. I was rooting for her and Davis, and when she split him from Doomsday I was so happy, I was thinking "Yay, they now have a chance." But nooo....F'in Chole is a cock teaser. Yes, you heard me. I said it. -_- What...

I like the new direction the show went. No more high school drama. But...the acting seems to have gone downhill, it's gotten so fake and cheesy. I watch it from time to time just to see the wardrobe. I'm so over the storyline.

I was hoping to see Lucifer in form but I figured they wouldn't show it. I totally knew the angels were up to no good. <_< There's only one more season left. In the beginning the creators had already said that Supernatural would be around for only five seasons.

My boyfriend tried this and I knew his mom had told him about it, she loves Oprah. It was good for being free but I'm generally not a fan of KFC. Their chicken size and general food portion is pretty skimpy compared to Church's.

Lots of audio, I'll listen to it later. I haven't decided if I want to put up one of myself yet or not. ^_^

I never got into Star Trek either but from the trailer I had to go see it. My boyfriend wouldn't let me go see it until I saw the old movies first. He made me sit through hours of old Star Trek movies. I saw it on IMAX and it was that much more awesome. I *heart* Spock. haha His make out...

That's who he is! It was driving me crazy, I couldn't figure out why he looked so familiar.

haha I meant that in a good way. :) Radio personalities need to have a nice voice because people have to listen to them a lot.

Oops, I already replied. Damn, no delete button.

Thookatha: Wow, you sound nothing like I expected you to. You have the type of voice that belongs on the radio. ^_^ hanjieun30 : haha You sound like you’re from the Midwest. cute fuzzy: haha you’re so funny. Lome: Yay! Finally know what you sound like. Haha you’re daughter singing along is...

When he raises his voice with me. I'm not the type of girl to take it so I yell back and tell him to stop raising his voice with me. B) He's kind of indecisive but thinks I can't make any decisions. What he doesn't realize is that for most of our relationships I've been making decisions for...

I just found out that they're poisonous. Had to google to making sure it was true and it is. They're definitely poisonous. So yeah, wash your hands after touching them, and don't go licking or chewing on it. :P It's the sap that's poisonous. ETA: Apparently only their stems and leaves are...

Yes to both. *points below to siggy*

AWESOME but I'm pissed because I didn't realize there would be a secret ending after that credits so I didn't stick around. I always find out after I get home from the movies. <_< LOVE Ryan Reynolds, except towards the end with the crazy face. Hugh Jackman was H.O.T.

I'm aware that you can't guess on how others might "really" feel, it was just an observation exercise. Deductive reasoning.

I understand, not everyone can answer that question. I for one, can. I know how I'll act because I've done it. It was as extreme as the examples I gave but it was dangerous enough that I acted on my instincts.

You make a valid point but organ transplant is different from an impulse. Obviously it wouldn't make sense to sacrifice your life to save another in that situation because you'd just be trading a life for another life. In a medical situation people have time to think about that. In general when...

Thanks for the feedback guys. haha 7270 I was kinda thinking along the same lines when I started this thread. I was thinking "hm...I can use this in a story." LOL The whole "Do you love her? Will you die for her?" thing only makes sense if you've ever really loved someone. No, it doesn't mean...

OMG LOL I just now found this. Swine flu= Zombie flu BBC I'm so ready for this. B)

hahaha Emma isn't interested in him, she's just curious as to what it looks like from the outside. She's not having any "spurty feeling of excitement," trust me. Emma isn't the type of girl that gets that butterfly, giggly, school girl feeling. From just reading the story I have no idea why...

I think people are panicking for nothing. I'll worry when the death tolls gets remotely close to the annual number of deaths for the regular flu.

Wow you guys are tough. I'm not exactly a fan of her music because of the nasal singing but she looks cute in those pictures. Not so much a fan of the big hair, it just makes her head look tiny. I don't know if she got a nose job or not but her nose looks fine to me. They ARE symmetrical. You...

Sorta got what I needed. Thanks.

Aff kinda reminds me of someone I know.

I love this show! I hope it doesn't get canceled, especially since he just got an upgrade.

I'm not sure why the chose Kristin Kreuk but I can't say I was disappointed. Yes, she doesn't look very Asian but she is, half. With her new short do she does look more Asian though. Her looks make more sense if you saw the movie because her mom in the movie is Caucasian. Plus Kreuk is more...

OMG who doesn't know that chimps are freakishly strong for their size? They're not meant to be pets. I agree with Lome, it's the human's fault and it's sad that the chimp was the one that had to die. By killing that chimp they're only encouraging human stupidity.

LOL that's so idiotic.

Why do people always blame the girl? It takes two to have a sex, if she forced him then yes it's her wrong doing and it would also be rape. He's young but I doubt he was force to have sex. It's kind of a hard for a girl to rape a guy. Yes, she's older and should probably know better. Should...

I'm in Austin and not the least bit worried about the flu, then again I haven't really left the house much since the weekend. I was watching the news a few mins. ago and they said the first US death was someone who's actually from Mexico City and traveled to visit family in Texas. Just...

My dad has a whole bunch all over his body but he had it done back in his 20s. I don't know if it actually works because my dad still got shot (this was during the war). Well, I guess it did work because he got shot in the only exposed area he had on his body. It was the only part that the...

I'll do the survey but some of these questions don't give you options like "never", like the depression question. Once or twice a month sounds like a lot to me. K, did the second one.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm Laotian too and I'm already fluent in Thai. It was just a matter of learning how to read it. Since they don't offer Thai language courses at my school I had to learn to read it myself. I'm trying to test out of my foreign language so I signed up for a Thai language exam. It's...

Cool! I don't normally wear makeup either.

I don't think my family will be doing anything. We don't ever do anything, wish we did though.

Okay we need a beauty and fashion section. Anyway, I just saw the pictures from my friend's bachelorette party. It was a blast but the pictures of me were a tad depressing. Don't get me wrong I think I'm a fairly attractive woman and I like my shape. I'm a size 3 with curves (yes, I got the...

Thanks Lome! Yeah, I've been kinda preoccupied with personal issues. Hey, you wouldn't happen to know of a free blog site that I can use to make money off of do you?

Sorta. I need some book recommendations. I bought Easy Thai like someone here recommended to learn to read Thai, now I need a workbook or a reading book that has English translation to practice my reading. I tried taking a Thai Language test earlier this month and came short from passing in the...

I like that she chose familiar unknown designers. I was watching CNN and they said that Wu was basically and uknown and had only been in the fashion business about 3 years. Mrs. Obama pretty much put him on the map. It takes a really long time and many, many years in the business before a...

I missed it but caught parts of it on CNN.

I know. I use to have a maltese. He was given to us by a family friend since he was a happy. Sadly he died tragically but at least it was quick. My dad loved him so much he was so sad when my dog died. I thought about jack russells because my boyfriend's uncle has two but the problem I have...

hehe If I could find a scoodle at a shelter or any rescue places I'd get one but they're one of those "designer breeds" and unless someone bred it that way or it happened by accident (which is not very likely) I wouldn't be able to find one. :( Like I said, I don't want to get my dog from a...

I wanted a husky too! They're kind of hard to find in Texas though, the rescue ones anyway. I don't want to get my animals from a breeder, mainly because I don't like the idea of animals being breed for sale and the ones that don't go end up in a shelter or on the streets.

When they send you a monthly statement it'll say what the min. payment is. If you don't wanna wait you can just call them, there's always a number on the back of the card. I agree, Bank of America is probably one of the worst credit card you can get. They hook you with the 0% interest rate for...

I've already figured all of that out, that's why those are my top choices. :) The strange poodle mix was just for fun. I thought the names were funny. As I mentioned in the first post. It won't be any time soon but probably during the summer when my parents move and I get the house to myself...

Since I'm moving back to Austin and my parents are moving to OK sometime this year, probably the summer, I'm looking for a dog. I've been wanting a dog for a while but now I'll have plenty of room for one. YESSSS...I plan on getting my dog at a shelter. I've thought about it for years, so NO...

Well I can speak both languages but I'm currently learning to read Thai. I'm actually doing fine on my own, just have a problem with procrastination. I'm tight on money too, otherwise I'd take you up on your offer if you can read and write Thai. Good luck though.

How much weight has she gained? If it's noticable on her body, go with a M. I hate getting anything too small, it only just makes me feel fat. lol But that's just me. Some people don't even bother going up a size with their body change and squeeze into their old size. Trust me, it's not a pretty...

Sorry, I just realized I got the name of the red-headed prince wrong. It's Harry not Henry, lol. My bad. Anyway, I agree with Lome, it's not just Hmongs that are being persecuted. My paternal grandfather died during the war, my dad got shot trying to fight the communists. My maternal...

Prince Charles? Which war are you talking about here? If you're talking about the war that's currently going on in the Middle East, that's Prince Henry, Charles his the old guy with the big ears. He's William and Henry's father. William and Henry are both in the service but William I think is a...

It's not fancy but I wouldn't say it sucks. Unless it was all home made and the person making it didn't know how to cook. Lao and Thai food, in case you didn't know, are very similar. Southeast Asian food in general have several similar dishes. I've never seen stick rice served at a Lao...

I don't get what this has to do with the government. The first link takes me to a video of an old couple who got robbed by a man name Bernie Madoff. Madoff doesn't work for the government, he's a businessman. It just sounds like he's another crooked businessman on wall street, what's new? No...

I've watched one Korean drama and it was aired on the Asian channel here, the one Asian channel I get on cable. lol It really didn't take that long, I saw it from begining to end. In terms of dramas I prefer Americans, mostly because of the storyline and acting. Thai comes in second though...

I already get calls from telemarketers and I add my number to a list months ago, still getting calls. Doesn't really matter to me because I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognize.

He must have a really good personality *cough*a lot of money*cough* because the man is not remotely attractive and like every one else said, he's old.

Story Why do they always blame the animal? Yes panada's are cute and cuddly but they're still wild animals and they have teeth so don't be an idiot! Gu Gu was probably just defending it's territory, the dumbass climbed a five foot wall to retrieve a toy. A toy! That toy better be made out of...

Some mcdonalds might not carry it or haven't gotten it yet. You know the new mocha cafe thing they're pushing? Well here it's available at 3 of the 4 McD's close to my place. The three that has it got it a long time ago but the one closet to my place still doesn't have it yet!

All weddings are boring to me that's why I avoid going unless I have to. lol In terms of my family we usually have a combo of Laotian and American style wedding. I like the music better at American weddings though, the food is sometimes better too. I'm Laotian I can eat Lao food any time so...

Well if it's his birthday get him a gift. If you guys are close friends make sure it's just a friend gift.

:loool:

OMG they're so good. I've heard they were usually only sold at World Market but Pepperidge Farm is releasing it for a short time in the US (only sold at Target though).

I've had similar dreams but I've never gotten sick from then. It could just be lack of a good nights sleep. You can be sleeping but if you're tossing and turning because of bad dreams then you're body and mind isn't getting the rest it needs. Lack of rest can result in lost of appetite too and...

I'm with the others, I like the three headed elephant, it says a lot of about Laos and the Laotian people. Not into the stripes because it looks a lot like any other country's flag. Didn't realize there were so many.

I keep missing the Laos episode of No Reservation, anyone know where I can watch it online?

I went to Arkansas over Christmas and realized that Bentonville and Springdale are very close. Maybe you're mom's cousin is a relative of mine.

It's not really a betrayal when you have a choice as to where you want to go. No one forced them to come to America, my dad had a choice and he chose the US even though his first choice was Canada. From what Lome described it sounds a little one sided when they cover the immigration/transition...

OMG I remember you now. I think... Is your name Noy? If so, you were still really young when I first met you and your brother. My mom said the last time they saw you you were trying to hit on my brother. lol I think this was at my great grandmother's funeral.

So that's what my dad was talking about. My dad called me up a week ago telling me about this and I brushed it off because I had no idea what he was talking about. I don't like how the summary is worded, it makes it sound as if the US waged a war on Laos when the 'Secret War' was actually an...

Yeah, his bio says he's from Northern Thailand but grew up in the mid-west (America), I think. It's one of those states you wouldn't think there are Asians.

You know for almost $5,000 I could fly myself there and enroll into a school or take classes. Seems kinda pricey for Laos, what does this all include? For less than that I could go to Scotland on tour a package and see all of Scotland for three weeks, room,some food expense and travel included...

He's doing a collection for Target that's set to be in stores on Dec. 28th. I've never even heard of this guy until Michelle Obama wore his stuff. I googled him and he's got some really nice stuff, I like his style but I'm curious as to what his collection for Target would look like.

I'm spending it with the fam. in Austin and then after Christmas we're driving up to Arkansas and Oklahoma to visit some relatives. I'm heading back to Houston before the New Year to spend it with my boyfriend and best friend. :)

Aww...I don't see him anymore. It was on the side under 'random' photos.

This show is a riot. I normally don't like reality shows but this is pretty entertaining, one mom is just out there looney. The guys aren't bad looking. The firefighter and hockey player are good looking but there's one goofy looking guy that reminds me of the main guy from American Pie.

I'm graduation soon so I can't, maybe when/if I go to grad. school? There's a picture on the right side of a not bad looking guy. ;)

I'm going to Arkansas and Oklahoma for x-mas maybe I'll get to see snow there. :) Looove winter.

Thanks Lome. :) Glad you enjoyed it. If there was more time I could've done a lot better, it wasn't my best work but it's been a strange semester what with school being down for a few weeks because of Ike. My professor enjoyed the story but he gave me a B- because I made some basic reporting...

How many of the other main characters will be in the 4th installment?

Price shouldn't matter, it's the thought that counts. Not everyone has the same budget and comparing your gifts to the one you gave is how people get in trouble during the holidays. I wouldn't worry about too much. $115 is a lot of money to spend on a christmas gift for just a friend though...

Thanks. I'll do that. :)

So you're an Edwards fan eh, well to each their own. I met muscle mass for the whole look of the character. The guy that plays Edward obviously isn't superhuman strong. But everyone has their taste, I just prefer guys that look like men. Edward to me has more mood swings than a pregnant woman...

A little over 6ft. It's not for sure yet but at least they considered someone that looked like the original guy that played Jacob. You're not going to find a guy too tall that will fit the part. He's much taller than Lautner for sure. Plus he's a lot bigger in size (muscle mass) since that...

Thanks. :) I could've probably made it longer with more time and research but my professor was more concerned with content and not length.

Thanks. I was kind of just hoping to view it online, anything from overseas kind of makes me nervous. That "please make sure your VCD/DVD player is compatible" is what makes me nervous, that and I don't trust USPS to deliver anything anymore.

Yeah, that's so wrong. I'm guessing now that she can't move, she probably can't work so she's trying to make her money. Bad, bad woman. I doubt she'd win though but then again, there are some crazy people serving jury duty. Why didn't she just sue the person that caused her accident? Wouldn't...

Does anyone know what the title of this lakorn or movie is? Where can I watch it? lakorn/movie with Tata I came across it on youtube and it looked interesting.

lol No to the hats, eck. The glasses, eck. People wearing glasses who don't need it, well that's just silly. Skinny jeans, yes. Skinny jeans on guys, lol NOOOO. Uggs, well they're nice and comfy. They make shorter ones too, they're not all high. It's nice for the winter but wearing them all...

Haven't read the book but I'm definitely going to see this. Anything with Brendan Fraser and I'm there.

I'm actually going to see this. Never really got into Star Trek but I love Zach Quinto. He as Spock was a perfect match. I'm also a Karl Urban fan, and of course I'm there to support a fellow Asian. ^_^

I just read from another site that Michael Copon might be cast as the new Jacob. OMG I'm so jumping on the Jacob bandwagon if he does. I'm just not that into Edward, thin, pal and sulky really isn't my thing. I do, however, love werewolves. I thought they were gonna go for a Native American...

lol sounds like me. It sounds like it works a little better than some of the other pay per click sites but it helps if you have refferals though. From what I've read you make money off of page views, whether people view your profile, view a background you created, blog, video and photos that you...

Does anyone here have a yuwie account? I just signed up because I heard it was like facebook and myspace only you can generate money with with page views. I thought I'd give it a try, it's not like I have to lose any money. I've done the page view thing with Associated Content and my writing, it...

Houston. :D The outdoor ice rink is a new edition. The park itself is pretty new and it's right smack dab in the middle of down town.

Hey thanks for recommending "Easy Thai." I bought it a few weeks ago and finally sat down and read the book and did the exercise and OMG I can actually read a little bit of Thai now. lol I'm only on Lesson 7 right now though. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the recommendation. :)

I go every once in a while, usually special occasions like his cousins birthday. I'll go to dinner with his dad and stepmother because they live in Florida so he doesn't see them that often. Everyone else I don't care too much about. I mean I know they're his friends but I don't see why I have...

lol That's not bad. You can't help liking more than one person but I'd say it's hard to be in love with more than one person though. Anyway, you could always date all of them to see who you like more, of course let them all know it ahead of time. I don't mean be in a relationship with all of...

lol That was my reaction when I first saw porn too (and I was 20). I'm a grown woman now and I'm not afraid to admit that I have watched a few porn and it's really not that bad, well not all of them anyway. What I don't get is why the women look like blow up dolls and the men are so *blah*...

Do you have a picture of the frames and a picture of your face? The size of your face only matters when it has to do with the size of the frame. There are rectangular frames that are big and some that are smaller. It also depends on the shape of your face too, you really just gotta try it on to...

Here's a video I took of my phone with my camera. I had it on normal setting, still trying things out. video

Looks a like a cross between a rat and a squirrel, kinda cute.

Here are some photos. It's so clear you can even see my finger prints on my new phone. ^_^ I'm still working on the video. I tried to get some night photos but haven't quite figured out all the settings on my camera yet. The rest of the photos were taken at Discovery Green Park, there's an...

Yup. It was actually closer towards $200 but I went to Best Buy and saw that they had it for $119, came out to be $129 with tax but still sooo much cheaper than the original price. Best Buy was the only place that I found that sold it for that much, everywhere else (even Walmart) had it for at...

Eek. I won't say anything about your boyfriend because I don't know him and even when we think we know someone there's always something we over look. I'll leave that alone, at least you thought about it. That's a good thing on your part. I've showed with siblings and cousins naked before but...

:loool: My purse is normal size, usually I carry a little messenger bag type one but then I have a regular size tote. What's inside: - chapstick - a tube of lip gloss that I hardly ever use but have it in case of a lip emgerncy? :P - wallet - small bottle of hand sanitizer - my inhaler - a...

I will, I've been meaning to. Looove the camera. The photos are so crisp and clear and I only had it on normal setting. My boyfriend changed it to high setting and OMG it's like watching a blu ray on high def. TV! lol I'll try to get some pictures and videos up soon. :)

$1 or $20, I'd definitely call to let them know. They should refund you the extra $1 they charged you. I've never heard of a processing fee for fast food resturants and I use to work at one. Then again, every state is different. Usually they have a min. if you want to charge it because the...

Nope, it's about my dad. I've never been to Laos.

I say if they're going to allow one thing they should allow its counter. Although, I'm pretty sure a nativity on government grounds kinda crosses that line of separation of church and state. I'm all for circular decorations, or if they're going to allow a nativity scene, they should at least...

$1.45 in Houston. I think it's done to $1.35 in Austin now, it's always about 5-10 cents cheaper than Houston.

lol This wasn't the topic was I expecting to find. As for my status: Won't say. What I am or not when it comes to this matter is not something I feel is appropriate to broadcast. It's nobody's business. :P

*hugs* Thanks girl.

Here's the link to the story I've been working on for those that are interested. Escaping a Broken Kingdom

Oh almost forgot, I'll have the story up some time today on my blog if you guys would like to read it.

OMG that's too cute. My little cousin is Mexican/Caucasian/Laotian, he's about 4 or 5 years old and it's such a trip to hear him speak Laotian. He loves sticky rice. :lol:

It's not really about the Vietnam War, it's about the Secret War that went on in Laos and continued after the Vietnam War ended. It was something I had to do for a writing class, Journalism as a Literary Form. We had to write a story that was non-fiction but read like a novel and so the first...

I'm trying to put the finishing touches and edit my story on my dad and came across this. Is anyone else a little irked by the fact that they only mention Hmongs? What about the Lao people that fought and died as well? You know when I went in to try to sign up for a language test they gave me...

Thanks for the compliment and well wishes. :) Yeah, I'm still iffy on the spelling myself, I'm considering changing it to 'X' but probably not 'S'.

Let's see.... Lane hoggers (you know the people who can't decide which lane to go on so they take up to and slow everyone else down). Bastard drivers who can't decide if they want to let you pass or not. Bitch! Either slow down so I can pass or speed up a little so I can get through. Don't make...

I use to be an extreme perfectionist but I've learned to just limit to writing. I do have my annoying moments of correcting people with historical facts though. I know it drives people crazy but sometimes I can't help it, I react before I think. Hm...let's see what else. Well, when I have...

Ouch. Yeah, traditional Asian parents tend to be that way. But in the end you're the one that has to live with your decision and it's your life to live so should always make the best choice for yourself. If you love him then nothing else should matter, not even what your parents say. They're...

Yes I'm aware of the lack of content. It's because like I mentioned earlier, it's a 'very rough draft', in other words a work in progress. I haven't added any products because there are no products to sell yet. I was just testing out the website, the layout and banner. Currently the project is...

I didn't want to spell it with an 'X' because it looked Vietnamese and I was thing about spelling it with an 'S' but I wasn't sure if people would know it because no where have I seen it spelled with an 'S' before.

As far as I know yes. I took photography classes during my first year of college and my professor was obsessed with Nikons (seriously, he wouldn't shut up about it). It's a very good brand that makes great cameras. My second choice would be a Canon though (my bf's uncle use to be a fashion...

Roll over, check my clock then try to remember what I have to do that day. If nothing then I roll back and sleep again. ^_^

lol That's such a trip. What I wanna know is where he learned to play it in the first place? Does he know a lot of Lao people?

Great photos. :) I like the 2nd on the best, they really know how to recycle. :P

lol Yeah, purple's my fav. color.

Nevermind, found it.

My dad wants me to find out how to bring is brother over from Laos to the states, it's suppose to be temporary. He's having a hard time finding work there (which isn't much of a surprise because Laos doesn't have a lot of bussinesses, which means a small job pool) and my dad wants him to come...

How's your project coming along? Good luck! Hope you win. :)

hehe I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money on it though. I hate parting with my money. :P But it was time I get with the program and get myself a camera.

Digital camera! :clap: Yay, I'm so happy. I got it for myself as a birthday gift. Nikon Coolpix S210, in plum. I got it at best buy for just a little over $100. It's originally $180. I'm getting two memory cards for free from my boyfriend's mom, she has a bunch of extras. I'm getting a new...

A million dollars, if not then well how about a European trip for a month? OOoh, even better, a book contract.

If you're a student with little work experience you really have no room to be picky if you want a job, that's just the cold hard truth. As for your hand, well I'm sure a lot of employers can work with you on that, they can't NOT hire you for minor stuff like that. I worked at Walgreens and there...

Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering what was going on. Actually in the US it probably would still happen like this so long as it's peaceful protesting. Once things get violent then the police comes in, Americans have the right to assemble and protest on public property, seeing as how...

No picture but I did all the cooking. Everything you'd expect on Thanksgiving plus Laotian food. :P

Probably a pair of boots or a coat, can't remember but it was a few hundred $, nothing like a designer bag though. If I had the money I might spend it on a pair of Jimmy Choos but other than that, I just can't imagine wanting to spend that much money on one piece of clothing or accessory item...

I have no "coming out" stories, most people I know were out of the closet by high school. That's great that you're being supportive of him, that's how families should be. :)

Such a bummer, but yeah maybe next year. :)

Don't shoot me but I didn't think the movie was that great. That's not to say it wasn't good, I really enjoyed it but I think the book was probably a lot better. The begining was hard for me to watch because it just seemed so awkward and a tad corny, I think that some of the scenes were great...

Project direct? Is this the same people? Well damn, how'd I go this long and not notice this before.

Urgh...I wish I could do this but it's due the 16th and that's not enough time for me considering I have finals and still trying to teach myself to read Thai. I really wanted to do this on the Lao community because we're definitely a very under represented group. Of course it would actually help...

Thanks Emilie!

Thanks! :)

Thanks! :)

I call dibs! I'm moving in. :D Urgh...nevermind, someone mentioned spiders.

Aww....I'm starting to really like Davis. Why'd they have to make him the ultimate baddy? Well I know his alter ego is suppose the be bad guy, the guy that kills Superman but why'd they have to make him so damn lovable. Every time I see his pouty face and the way he looks at Chloe my heart...

You know, I was surprised I liked this movie. I was never really into Bond movies because it seemed more like a guy flick with all that fighting, killing and sleeping with random women. I like this new Bond and I don't get why it's getting a so so review. One reviewer said that Quantum of Solace...

Thanks everyone! Well, so far it sounds like my most sure option. Hell, if I can take this test and waive my foreign language credits than I won't need to stay another semester and half. Which is great because it means I can graduate this semester! But....I don't wanna get my hopes up, I still...

Good to hear. :) It's about the only good news I've heard so far. Well, Laotian isn't offered so Thai is my other option. It's so strange that they offer Khmer and Hmong language exams but don't offer Laotian. Anyway, I'll give it a study and see how it goes before I ask them to order the test...

Quick question. If you can already speak Thai, how hard would it be to learn to read and write it? I'm considering this as one of my options to graduation. It's my very last option but seriously, I'm not going to spend another 2 years in college just to get my damn foreign language credits. I'm...

I use to have a lot of respect for PETA but it's slowly fading. Over the years they seem to get crazier and crazier. I swear, I'm starting to think who ever is asking for all these things never did an ounce of research. Cows give milk whether they're pregnant or not, it's like chickens laying...

Ditto. With all that's going on around the world, I don't think the subject of homosexuality should even be up for discussion, especially in government. It sure as hell shouldn't be decide by the government or anyone else. No one has the right to decide how others should live their life. No one...

Not for a while. It's turning out to be a busier semester than I thought, that's why I started updating slower towards the end of the story. I have tons of reading for my classes and writing stories for my journalism classes as well, on top of trying to get back to writing my novel. But...

I don't usually wear makeup, but when I do I try to enhance my features, so I still look like me but with a little more coloring and a tad more polished. I don't like it when women cake on makeup, they're out looking like one person and wake up looking like someone else. Scary. :o Here's what...

Thanks for the link IRukYou. I have all of my other sources and it being a journalism class I can only use official sources to backup my information. All of the stuff I've found on the Secret War tends to be the same information, it's hard to find anything new. Once I get my story...

I didn't think it would be good from the ads but I got bored and decided to watch it and it's actually pretty funny. Some parts are a tad cheesy but it's a new show, they're still working out the kinks and the actors are still getting a feel for their characters. I remember how cheesy Charmed...

lol I thought that was funny too. He thought his mom was hot, kinda creepy but still funny. :D I really hope it doesn't get too Biblical, I'd like it if they bring in other faiths to really make it interesting. The warrior angel thing is actually pretty biblical, angels were never meant to...

Hm...I don't know, he said it's a county so I'm not sure what my dad meant by that. I gotta ask him again. Thakek looks kinda far from Vientiane. Thanks for the link Lome. :)

I'm trying to find a map that has the local towns of Laos but all I get is a map with just the major cities. I've been working on this story about my dad's escape from Laos when the royal government was overthrown by the communist. Anyway, long story but I'm trying to figure out what the name of...

It's actually on CBS. I saw it, I didn't plan on to because I didn't think the concept was that interesting but my boyfriend and I watched it together and it was hilarious. :D

Sounds more time consuming than just peeling the darn thing. Also sounds kinda like a science experiment I did back in middle school.

It doesn't say on the ticket how much you're suppose to pay? It's suppose to. I've only ever gotten a ticket for speeding, it wasn't major speeding just 10 mph over the limit.

Yup! I hope it's not true but I think that's why he's there.

I haven't kept up with it but I decided to tune it for the first episode of the new season because it looked interesting. They fast forwarded five years and their lives have changed a lot. I like how they did that, it makes you wonder what happened within the five years that led them to where...

Yeah I'm with Sue on this. 1st -- Probably Firestarter. 2nd -- Definitely Death Becomes Her.

I wanna go ghost hunting or a do a hunted tour, that's always fun. Haunted houses (amusement houses, not really haunted) are pretty fun too but it goes by so fast.

lol I noticed the name of that episode too and I also didn't think anything about it. I just really hope they don't make it overly religious, kinda ruins things for me when I feel like they're getting preachy. But yeah, I already knew that angels weren't 'goody goody' like the angels from...

Well I Lana went away, she finally accepted that Clark had a greater destiny and that she was keeping him from fulfilling it. I love Lois! She's my favorite. Most of us know already that Lana wasn't meant to stay in the picture, I was just wondering how many seasons before they finally wrote...

I love Samhain! It's the only time of year where it's okay for little kids (and everyone else) to go door-to-door and get candy from strangers. :lol: It's one of those holidays that bring strangers together, whether it be trick-or-treating or at parties, you're bound to end up talking to...

Bump.

Okay people. Everyone that's responded already (above) and are still interested please PM me your mailing address so I can mail out the stuff. Except Amikrazie, I have your address already. :) I'll be working on the stuff Weds - Fri. and have them all mailed out by Saturday.

OOoh, thanks! That's a better idea.

hehe I have too many shows to watch I can't keep them straight anymore, especially when the new season just started. Takes me a while to get back into the rhythm of things. lol I thought it was like a Veronica Mars reunion too. Well, at least you know the CW takes care of their actors...

I had to miss One Tree Hill because Heroes new season premiered today. Two hours. Wow, it's getting really good. I like the direction that they're this to, especially since last season wasn't that great (probably due to the writer's strike). People who didn't have power are getting them and...

I had my suspcions that it was a higher being of some sort, I didn't think it would be a demon, so it had to be something else. As for the devil, well they only said no demon had that kind of power. That didn't say anything about the devil. The devil is associated with Lucifer, although...

Chapter 15 will be up later today. I'm finally back at my own place and I have power! woohoo!

Hell no it's not wrong for her to do what she did. Abuse is abuse, regardless if the abuser is family or not. Nothing like that should be tolerated. It's a crime and there a laws for that for a reason and that's to protect those that can't protect themselves. I can't ever understand why...

Sajenna: I don't think we have that here but thanks. :) It's actually getting better now. It's not as dry as before. I've been trying to avoid rubbing my eyes and it seems to be helping. I think it's allergies, every time the season changes my eyes get itchy and I rub them a lot, I guess all...

:lol: Yeah, it was confusing at first. And Jensen use to play Lana's boyfriend on Smallville. I'm wondering if Dean's new responsibility will effect Sam as well, especially with his new powers. Ooooh, I wonder if they'll end up fighting each other. I'm still iffy about the angel guy, I'm not...

Why would you want to learn black magick? (Yes, I'm aware I spelled it with a 'k') It's not something to mess with and it's dealing with elements of the Earth, which is something very unpredictable. When you're working with negative energy you can never be too sure of what the outcome will be...

I'm not askin for medication, just skin cream. It hasn't spread so I don't know what the deal is. I don't want to go to the doctor and pay a lot of money only to find out it was just allergies. I'll wait another week of it gets worse or doesn't stop I'll go see a doctor. I don't it's not...

I loved it too. Such a cute movie and so funny.

Man that's awesome!!! Ruby got a new body, they borrowed that girl from ABC Family, Wildfire. I was wondering what she would do after the show ended. Wow I wasn't expecting to find what I did, but I'm so excited! Angels!!! ^_^ I just hope it doesn't wonder into the religious hockie stuff...

Ning: Sorry, typo. I meant it IS dry. It's not flaky anymore but it's itchy from time to time. I'm starting to think that the rash is just skin irritation from me rubbing my eyes too much. I'm currently using Aquaphor, it's helping with the dryness a little but still a little itchy. Pleang...

Does anyone know of a cream or oilment that's safe for the eyes? I have this annoying rash at the corners of my eyes. It's not really big and you can't really tell unless your right up in my face. It's not swollen or anything, it's just irritating the heck out of me. It's a little pinkish but...

I think it's good the schools teach the kids about sex because you can't always count on the parents to do their job. Lets face it, there aren't that many "perfect" parents out there, if any at all (despite what you think of your own, no one's perfect). Look at the governor of Alaska she...

If it's not on by the time I get back I'll probably just hang out at the Galleria for the air. lol Or hang out at school, the power is back on over there.

Really? I called my apartment complex and they said the power is still out there. It's probably because it's a business, that's why it's opened but they still have a curfew thing going on. It's the same with school, they close down everything at 7:30pm. Nothing does more damage to the city's...

I live in the Galleria area and we were lucky. My apartment complex faired well, except for a few who were located near trees. My area has an open court yard with a pool but no trees so I was lucky and nothing was broken. My car alarm kept going off during the night though, it was that windy...

I'm slowly working on chapter 14 so I should have it up tomorrow, assuming the electricity is still on. If not, well...hehe I guess sometime this weekend.

It's 7pm here and it's cloudy and windy. So far, it's not that bad but the news says the wind will get stronger.

I never had any childhood fears, I was pretty much fearless. Now though, I'm afraid of a lot of things. Anything without an exoskeleton and anything that has more than six legs. Oh and dark waters, I'm not sure when that started though. I love the beach but I'm afraid of water that goes above...

Okay, who ever made her do this press conference needs a swift kick in the ass. That's just wrong and insensitive on so many levels. Just because someone's a celebrity doesn't mean they're circus animals to be put on the spotlight when ever. They are human beings! The family should've been left...

lol My parents and I are the same way. I'm close with my parents and we can talk about most things but when it comes to sex, urgh...I'd feel more comfortable if we never talk about that. EVER. :lol: Just having my dad tell me to wait til marriage gives me the heebie jeebies. Just even hinting...

It's easy to judge but when you have kids yourself and have to sit down and talk to your daughter or son about the intimate details of sex and sexually transmitted diseases, as well as safe sex, will you be able to do it? Just imagine if they have questions, you're going to have to sit down and...

Hey did anyone else hear about this super collider thing that European physicists were working on? They were suppose to try it out sometime yesterday or the day before, can't remember. But they did it under France, I think it was, in a tunnel. Anyway, there were people saying that it might...

Okay. I'm not sure why you even bother with this guy, he sounds like one of those guys that will end up on the most wanted list...assuming he's not already. #1 He lied and then cheated on you, even if he admitted it -- Dump his ass and don't EVER think twice about it. Just because he admitted...

I had a lot to say but I'm too lazy to type. So....ditto on what everyone said. If you guys arent' dating, not even getting to know each other in an official 'I think I might want to date' you type of thing, then I don't know why she reacted that way. It's strange.

I was told to wait til marriage too but I won't say if I followed that path or not. I'm the type of person that has to know the why's, you can't just tell me NOT to do something and not explain to me why. I've been that way since I was a child. If no why explains to me why then I'm more...

lol I have no idea but now that you mentioned it, good point. I'm not really sure myself if the spelling really matters because when I typed in Laos, it only pulled up two spellings, Lan Ch'ang and Lan Xang. The one with the 'X' looked a little too Chinese or Vietnamese so I went with the 'Ch'.

Thanks. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to sell or even if I'm going to do it for sure. I was thinking about gourmet chocolates but then I found out I need a food license, eek sounds like a lot of work but we'll see. For now candles are easy to deal with.

Thanks for the link. I was laying in bed last night and wondered if maybe I could make and seel gourmet candies, cookies, etc. online. I know I need license to do that because I remember reading it on e-bay. Hm...well, I'll give them a call.

It's strange because I have another best friend that I've known much longer (since the 1st grade) and we're still best friends. Part of why I moved to Houston for school was to be a litte closer so we could find more time to spend with each other. Before she was always asking me when I would...

Me too. :D Love it Lome! The next chapter will be up late tonight or tomorrow morning. Been kinda busy with school.

I don't think focusing on abstinence only is going to prevent teen sex, hell, it'll probably hike up the teen pregnancy rate. I went to a school that taught abstinence and sex ed, and although we did have a few pregnant teens it wasn't that bad. Both pregnant girls stayed in high school and...

You know what would be cool? If Angelina adopted a Lao kid. :lol: Why not, she's already got a Vietnamese and Camdodian kid, they're close to Laos. Besides I'm sure there are kids that need a home there. My dad's younger brother was adopted. My dad told me that his dad went out one day and saw...

My mom has no education what so ever except English lessons back when I was younger. lol your mom youtubes that's so funny. I think I'd have to start my mom on baby steps, she sees a computer and all it is a hunk of a plastic to her. :P

Howdy ya'll...okay, well here's a sample of what my home business candle site would look like. It's not up and running yet, so no products, mainly because I haven't made anything yet. I'm not even sure if I would open it at all, it really depends on the feedback on the samples really. It's...

Phone: I was thinking about your idea, sounds great but then I thought of something. Would I need to get my mom a food distribution permit? I know when I was working at this hospital gift shop we use to get really great breakfast tacos from this small business, it's one of those stands but we...

You're probably right about his approach, it probably wasn't the best way to go about it but hey, that's journalism for ya. I did read a nice article in a Travel magazine about the Laos culture and the many things it has to offer. She use to live in Laos, she's American by the way and she...

Do you know why they're homeless? Most people assume it's probably drug or alcohol problem but the truth is, most homeless people are veterans of wars, even Iraq. What happens when you get so badly wounded you can't work? Or you're so psychologically damaged it's hard to function in society? The...

I see where he's coming from and what message he's trying to get with it, but I also see where you're coming from Lome. It probably doesn't show stats. because it's not a news article, it's more of a literary article. The New Yorker has a lot of those, it's what makes them one of the best...

The sad part is I'm pretty sure I was the last of her friends. I stuck around this long and put up with her inconsideration because of our friendship and history together, but a girl can only take so much before she snaps. I finally just reached my limits and all I wanted to do was be honest to...

hehe I wish I could get my mom to take classes but she's always thinking that the money is better spent on something else, or someone else (like my brothers and I). I wish for once she'd think more about herself.

Online job searching hasn't produced much. Usually resturants are looking for waitresses and my can't do that. I think I'd have better luck if I were in Austin, going from place to place. But I'll try that. I didn't even think about having her make samples. That could work, the 'Chinatown' in...

Thanks Lome. French is a little easier to learn than some other languages if you can already speak English. A lot of the words are very smiliar, the spelling is just different. It's the grammar stuff that gets me. The listening part scares me even more because when they talk I can't seem to...

Alright I got my 10th person so the ad is now closed. Thanks everyone. I'll let you know when I have the stuff ready to be mailed out. :)

I looked around and found this site called Live Mocha, it looks really cool. I tried it out and so far, it's been really helpful. Best of all it's FREE. ^_^ But if there's a way I can get Rosetta Stone for free, well I'll consider that too. hehe

I'm listening...would I have to do anything illegal? :P But you live in France. :( I need a tutor, I don't know how that would work online.

Okay, I'm trying to study for the French CLEP because I didn't want to take college french when I took 4 years of AP level french in high school. Only thing is, I graduated high school back in 2001. So yeah, a lot of time has passed since then. Anyway, the ONLY thing keeping me from graduating...

lol regarding the myspace message. If I got something like that, first of all if it's not someone I know, wouldn't open it at all -- just to be safe. Second, if for some strange reason I did opened it to find that message I wouldn't think much of it. I'd just think it was spam mail and block the...

Sorry for the hold up. I got distracted by the TV. lol Chapter 11 will be in about 30 mins. :D

:loool: I remember reading this years ago. Still cracks me up.

Aww...that's so sad. :(

Chapter 11 will be up later tonight. ^_^

Yeah, I left it up to her after explaining exactly how I felt. I was willing to move on with our friendship and start fresh now that I've got it off my chest and we've both expressed how we felt. Guess what her response was? She sent me two messages, I didn't bother reading the last one just...

I have best friend who've I've known since the 5th grade, so we've been friends for about 14 years now. But our views on pretty much nearly everything is totally opposite and generally I'm fine with it. I rarely meet anyone I share all of my views with, my boyfriend doesn't even share the same...

My friendship with my best friend of nearly 14 years might be ending. Truth is, I'm not surprised. We've grown apart since she moved away to Mississippi in the 7th grade. She gives off this condescending vibe when it comes to people who don't believe what she believes, especially when it comes...

:lol: Glad you guys are enjoying the steamy scenes. There's more to come! The next one to come is in Chapter 11! Will they finish what they started???? You'll just have to wait and see. :P

I have 9 so far, one more slot open. :) It'll take about another week and half before you guys get the stuff, I gotta order the materials and make them. Once you get them I need you guys to contact me so I can send you a feedback survey (don't worry, I'll send the item with a reminder about...

:lol: Yeah, what azngurLo said. If you're interested just answer the questions first so I'll have an idea of what scents to work with, or what people generally like. It would be nice to have a guys input as well. ;)

I won't tell you what it is yet but I'll tell you it's something I'm trying to test out. First off I need people who are willing to accept packages from me, I only need 10 people. You won't know what you'll get yet, and please no addresses posted. I'll contact the people (via PM) I'll sending...

Wow $200? Girl where are you buying this stuff? You know you can get similar products for much, MUCH cheaper right? Don't believe the hype about, if it's more expensive it's better, that's just bull crap. Do the research on several brands and you can find something within a reasonable price...

Chapter 10 will be up tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Sorry for the hold up, kinda got busy with school research and other daily life junk. Urgh...bills, such a pain in the ass.

^^ True! lol I could see someone doing that. I have webbed feet. :lol: True or Not?

Chapter 8 will be up sometime tonight, sorry, I've been kinda sluggish today.

Okay, I don't know if you guys remember but I was asking for helping in finding my mom a new job. Thanks for all the suggestions by the way. :) My dad called me up today, telling me to apply for jobs online for my mom, and I was like okay, sure. But I knew something must've happened if my dad...

:D I'll keep that in mind Miss Mai. I think my next story might be about a merman, haven't decided yet. ;)

lol @ Lome. I've never ridden a horse but I would imagine so. :loool:

Oh wow, Lome, I can't wait for part 2! Love the re-write.

hehe Yes they are. Ever wonder what they wear underneath that kilt? ;)

lol I'm not worried, I grew up on the Gulf Coast (a small town, 30 mins. from Corpus Christi, I lived literally, just across the street from the beach), and for all the years that I've lived there, we've only had to evacuate once. I live in Houston now, and I keep seeing signs on the highway...

I play the subway scabble too but I'm confused, what exactly are asking? :huh: The scabble pieces you play on their little board thing that it comes with, you win the prize for whatever you collect all the letters for. You can also play it online, on their site, which gives you more...

Chapter 6 will be up tomorrow. :)

Ian's assumptions were partially right, so I'll just add to that because I don't think I'll be explaining it in future chapters. He wanted Ian's daughter for his son because she'll come with a hefty dowry, and some land, especially if Ian doesn't remarry and produce more children. Plus, her...

Thanks, and you'll have to wait for the next chapter to find out that answer. hehe The rape scene was hard to write but I wanted to show rape for what it was, not something in a lakorn where the p'ek is the rapist, and the n'ek ends up falling for him in the end -- none of that. I wanted to...

:lol: Texas is the deep, deep south. hehe Any deeper and we'd be considered Mexico. :P Okay, so technically we were at one point. I've never been told I have an accent, except that I've been told I sound like a white girl. lol That could mean a lot of things. I have a Texas accent though, but...

:lol: True. So it should be interesting.

:loool: Close enough. Of course he's a ladies man, so no clubbing needed, all he has to do is shoot a smile at them and they women come crawling to him. :lol:

Aww *hugs* sorry to hear about your book and teacher situation, it happens, sucks though. Thankfully I got to a school where most of the student body are older students and they all have to work, so the professors generally understand -- a lot of them have other jobs outside of their teaching...

hehe You know how men are, they can't go for too long without some booty. :lol:

:loool:

Chapter 4 will be up some time today, so stay tune! :) Thanks for reading.

OMG I loved her growing up. I even had her haircut when I was in high school. :lol: Her son's adorable..but Tigger? I hope that's not his real name.

Overall, not too bad. At least they focused on Laos and the culture. The storyline was so so, very basic, a classic boy meets girl, boy falls for girl situation. The editing could've been done much better, the music selection could've been better too. Some of the camera shots and angles...

I agree with what she said. I use to be with Wells Fargo, it was a bitch. Don't know why but when I was banking with them I felt like I was being watched by an authoritative figure. Like they were waiting for me to do something wrong. I'm with Compass Bank now, I'm not so paranoid anymore. :P...

Thanks! and yup. My educational background is in print journalism, which is heavy on the research,facts and editing, and minimal on the creativity. I've done mainly news and feature writing for various outlets, I didn't try my hand at writing fiction until this summer (I badly needed to do...

It could also be boredom, when I get bored I eat...it gives me something to do. lol I probably should be working out though. Ditto on what Noy said. You probably shouldn't be eating or snacking while watching TV, that's where people tend to over eat. They're too preoccupied with what they're...

lol Wish, I had a solution. For the most part, some of his family members don't mind but they do wonder why I never go out when invited. I guess to them it's unusual, they're a very social family, so they don't understand that it's not for everyone. I don't like going to my own family functions...

Gosh, I haven't been in this section in so long. I missed the gay/lesbian discussion. ^_^

Chapter 3 should be up tomorrow, might be late though because I have a night class (Intro. to Folklore :P -- easy A, plus sounds like fun.). I just finished the outline for all the chapters to the end, if only I could stay as focus with my novels. lol As for Costa, he'll show up, you haven't...

Sorry, deleting this story. (c) Anny Sivilay

A new one! I wasn't quite happy with the other one, it wasn't giving off the right vibe of the overall story.

Thanks Lome! Chapter 2 is up. :) Can't wait to find out how 'Save Me' ends.

Thanks Tina for the link! I couldn't help by laugh at what was suppose to be his mother's voice on the phone. The voice acting was horrible and the accent didn't even sound Aussie, other than that, it's pretty good so far.

Thanks! Here's some more. The first one is for my story I'm working on, you can check it at at KwarmMeud (link in my siggy) -- I'm too lazy to post it up here too. The last one, Sara Kelsey, that's not really the actress' name, that's the name of a character in one of my novels I'm working on.

Amen to all of that girl! I don't think height as anything to do with beauty, just wanted to add that. If it bothers you, ignore it, never ever trust anyone that would persist on making a move on a woman who's attached (whether she really is or not). I've had incidents where I'm just walking...

I saw Lee Hom, but didn't know who the other guy was. Lol Jackie Chan was awesome!

Sounds interesting and I do need to save up for my trip to Scotland next year, but...how do I know this isn't some scam? Urgh...wish I knew how to get a job as a secret shopper.

1995 or '96. It wasn't until '97 that I really got into internet stuff like chatrooms, forums, etc.

Did anyone see the "walk race" lol OMG :lol: That was the funniest crap I've ever watched. I can't believe they made power walking into an Olympic sport.

The last one is so so I know, still working on the characters. I think I'm set on Jessica Biel as Lilith.

Ditton on the boy short undies. ^_^ And I do love Fiji water.

I'm addicted to Craig Ferguson. :D He cracks me up every night.

Yeah, I agree with Ning, I wouldn't do it unless it suits your overall look and personality. Not everyone can pull off that look.

Rules are rules, they're there for a reason. If you break a rule, it's pretty much like cheating. We don't know why they have age limits for gymnists, maybe being younger helps. As for the swimming thing, we all know from watching the Olympics, that every second counts; so even a split second...

You can do a lot with fine hair if you invest in a good blow dryer (with ION to protect your hair from damage) and some hair putty. Most Asians have fine hair, so it's common. Do you want it long or short? I had Many Moore's short do for a long time.

I don't have patience for ignorance. I'm also slightly passive aggressive. I don't know how to take compliments. I also have this annoying habit of needing to correct things and people. I can't help it, it's the editor in me. But at the same time, I'm well aware I'm not perfect and I do make...

Or have joint custody like children of divorce parents. :D Cambodia can own it during the weekdays and Thailand can have it on weekends and holidays.

It's all stupid, people who are willing to kill others for an object are just greedy bastards. Who cares who it belongs to, it's freakin' temple! It's not as if they can actually move the thing. Whoever it belongs to the temple will still stay where it is. Back to the fact that it's a temple, a...

I love quantum physics. :D Full story

Cool. Okay. Well, I have tons of childhood memory but nothing in regards to Laotian fairtytales are myths, except the naga. When I was younger my dad was sit me on his lap and tell me stories about life in Laos and the history of how Laos started out. I was a history geek even as a child.

I have no idea why they even have an age limit either. Until the announcer made that comment I didn't even know there was an age limit.

Do you mean only people who grew up in Laos? Or does this include everyone?

The US didn't invade anyone, well not recently anyways. If you're referring to what's going on right now. To invade is to conquer or pillage, and neither of which are happening. Oh, there's warring and destruction going on but it's not actually an invasion in the defintion sense. Don't forget...

I'm priceless to them. ^_^ I'm pretty sure I'm the favorite. I get along with my youngest brother but the other one, well, who cares really. My grandparents, aunts and uncles also love me.

As I explained before, it's ALL the Olympics. The Soviet Union has that many, even though it no longer exists, because it was comprised of several other different nations that are now an indiviual nation. This is ONLY for the modern Olympics, which didn't start until the 20th century. This...

It sounds a little like an American movie I watched months ago.

Woohoo Stargate!

I think we should be treating ourselves, friends and family and stranges with respect whether the world is ending or not. We should definitely be taking better care of our only habitable planet, regardless of what happens.

Awesome! I'm defintely going to be ording a copy.

Another new one. My boyfriend had to help me with the animation though, I tried to do it on my own but got frustrated after 30 mins. because it came out looking off.

I don't think they showed the Laos team yet, I haven't seen them in anything I've watched. Of course, I've only been watching swimming, but even then, no Laos yet. I wonder if they already went.

It's out already? Hm...hey, does the DVD play on American players? I wanna watch it but I don't wanna order it and not be able to watch it.

We did. ^_^

Here are some new ones. The first one I use as a background to motivate me to write. :lol: Maybe it'll work. The names are characters from the novels I'm working on. The first one is suppose to be Abby and Chamuel (that's the name of the characters, not the people in the image I use). *Lome...

Thanks! lol Lome, it's not too hard once you get the hang of it. I only learned how to use photoshop this summer, and only because I was bored out of my mind and looked up tutorial websites. My boyfriend made it seem like it was so hard. It's funny because I learned how to use Indesign CS3...

Not really keeping tabs. I check on how the US is doing once a day and that's it. I only watch it if I happen to see it on TV. hehe Not really a sports person. I was surprised to hear that North Korea was in it, I just assumed the government wouldn't let any of their people out of the country...

lol I thought about the lazy thing too.

lol I was wondering if other people celebrated Mother's Day.

It says that story was dated July 24, 2008. Scroll up a few posts, I mentioned that they the athletes did get to compete afterall. The article I got my information from was dated for August 2008. I should've posted the link but I can't seem to find it anymore, but it was a short article so the...

Here are some of my banners and other stuff. It has nothing to do with celebrities despite the celebrities you see. :lol: I base most of my stuff off of characters from my favorite novels and use actors/actresses that best represent these characters. I'm still working on the size though, they...

5:11 pm. I so want to go to the beach.

What do you mean? The first number is as stated, it's the total medal count for all of the Olympics. As for the other numbers, well, those speak for themselves, I listed what medals they've won for this Olympic, including the what they've won for today. As for what event, you gotta go to NBC...

You can check it out on the NBC site or just google Olympics. Stats: All Medal Standings (medals from all the other olympics since it started, well not since ancient Greece, but you know what I mean): 1. USA = Gold - 897; Silver - 693.5 (I don't know how you get a half); Bronze - 606.5 Total...

TexMex.

Amen to that. Death is not an ending but a new begining. lol I sound like a fortune cookie, but anyway, it's what I believe. You won't have to worry about missing anyone because you'll see all your loved ones again, with time. Of course if everyone dies you won't have to go a day without them...

Oooh oysters sound so good right about now.

I doubt it, and even if there were NOT EVERY SINGLE human being will die, the only way to do that is to send out a virus -- even then there are chances that some people will be immune to it -- the only other thing is to blow up the planet, but what's the point of warring if there's no survival...

I think your friend has issues. Find a new friend. :) Friends like that aren't worth keeping. But it does sound like maybe you like him a little more than you say you do. I have male friends with crazy possessive gf's and they don't have to ask me to keep quiet, I do it because I don't want to...

Chili.

It's a conspiracy I tell ya, a conspiracy! :P That's okay, we spanked them in basketball. :D I heard the women's bball team did well their first game too. Oh! The Russian synchronized girls goes to my school! B)

I like Phelps, he has every right to be arrogant because he can back it up. ^_^ He's kickin' ass and takin' names. :lol: Woohoo! Go USA!!!

How to make a Liberty Ingredients: 3 parts anger 3 parts silliness 1 part energy Method: Combine in a tall glass half filled with crushed ice. Top it off with a sprinkle of lovability and enjoy! :lol: 3 parts anger...that's funny.

The tall blad guy on the men's US beach volleyball team is kinda hot. ^_^

If they're counting on the government for funding, there's no wonder that they're not fully equipped. You can't really blame the government completely on that, I'm pretty sure they're greedy, but at the same time I'm pretty sure that money could be going to something much more important. But...

:lol: I haven't heard that but I wouldn't be surprise. A lot of these women do look a tad manly.

I was watching gymnastics earlier. The annoucer said that they had to be at least 16 years old the year of the Olympics but there have been speculations that some of the Chinese gymnists aren't. I didn't realize they had to be at least 16 until I heard that, the first two Chinese girls I saw...

OMG seriously? You've never had gumbo before? It's sooo good, but only if you get it at a seafood or cajun place. Other places don't make it as well.

Gumbo.

I think there's a conspiracy going on with synchro. dive. China made several mistakes between their 5 dives and they still recieved high scores (10s). <_< Damn Czech judge.

Although I agree with what you're saying. It's not the country's responsibility to fund their athletes, at least that's not the case in the US. I mean seriously, if my tax money was being spent on paying for shoes and uniforms of athletes, I don't care who they are, I'd be pissed. There are more...

I'm addicted to high heels, even though I don't actually wear 'em. I can barely walk in them. :lol:

Woohoo, the US women's basketball team won (their first game)! Looks like the US men are going beat China, they're currently 26 points ahead. Yay! I said I wouldn't watch the Olympics but my boyfriend has it on the channel so I can't help it. :D

Man, girl scout cookies are like crack, especially the thin mints. Once you eat one you can't stop. I'm also addicted to avacado, it's good for your skin or hair, one of those/or both. And water, I drink several glasses throughout the day. Oh and lays potato chips. I try not to eat them...

Adding to my list... Reading, writing, surfing the internet, music, books and chocolate!

Probably just a lot of air brushing. I like the brown dog, he's got a nice coat. I'm not too fond of poodles though.

I looked it up and it turns out that Laos has been in the Olympics before, several actually. I don't know why I didn't notice before.

I'm addicted to hot sauce too. Um...I'm also addicted to chapstick.

Wasn't sure if I should put it here or the Western Entertainment section. Full story

I heard about that. My theory is that it could just be cannabalism. Cannabals have been known to act and dress in a manner that resemebles animals that other people hunt to attract their prey. Of course, it could be just a be a very aggressive, man-eating monkey. They may be smaller in size...

I just watched the rerun of the opening and I saw Laos. They didn't give them enough air time, didn't even zoom in on the flag bearer. Anyway, it looks like they had about the same amount of walkers as Thailand did. I'm not sure how many of them are actually participating in the Olympics though...
