    I hate it! When you have the same peice in your mouth for over an hour it starts to feel like a large stringy booger. Not that I would know what a booger feels like in your mouth... :roll:
  2. Are You hinting something here?

    Everything went fine today. I'm a bit loopy from all the drugs, not to mention sore, but I'm alive.

    Well, it all happens tomorrow. I'm going to bed early tonight to get some good rest. I won't be around for a couple of days, so everyone take care.

    Just an update for all those who are dying to know the progress of my Wii :roll: ; I received the pre-paid packaging stamp in the mail yesterday and I sent my Wii in today. It said that it should only take 3-4 buisness days to repair.
  6. In other words, you're too cool to listen to anything that's released to the public because you must be "cool" and jump on hating band-wagons despite your past opinion on the music. That being said, I don't like the band. Tacky, tacky, tacky! ...I'm not too cool to listen to them, (points to Post your library topic(http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=677820) I have their most recent c.d.. I just need a break from hearing them. I may listen to them again once the hype dies down and you don't hear "Move Along" 20 times in an hour on the radio.
  7. Well I don't know about all time, but Wolfmother's self-titled is pretty darn good.

  9. I don't know about water slides, but today i heard about an earthquake that caused nuclear waste to be leaked into the Pacific Ocean from a plant in Japan or China...not a water slide, but close. ^Personally I think we should get rid of all the nuclear stuff in general. Wow, I'm kinda the bearer of bad news today aren't I. :shock: Maybe tomorrow will be better.
  10. My first and only concert was last January when I saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
  11. I was watching our local news in Cincinnati this evening, and they did a segment on lead in water hoses. Here is the report: Dangerous Lead in Garden Hoses Posted By: John Matarese When the weather gets hot, many kids cool off by playing with-- and drinking from-- a garden hose. But they may be getting more than a just a cool drink. They may also be consuming dangerous amounts of lead. Wait till you see what happened when we tested ten popular brands of garden hose. That may be surprising, becuase a hose is about as uncomplicated as it gets. Rip off the package, screw on the fitting and your new hose is good to go. At least that's what Jerry Dehner thought. The Butler County man told me he was about to hook up his garden hose.... when he noticed the brass fitting had a strange warning label on it. "The label on the back says this product contains lead!" says the Ross Township man. But it turns out that's precisely the warning on many of today's garden hoses. You probably won't find it on the front, but if you turn the hose over, in small print on the back, it says "this product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and/or reproductive harm." That can't be good. So we bought ten of them randomly at the places most of us shop - Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Target and Ace Hardware....filled sections with clean water...sealed the ends ...and put them outside, just like you would, for about a day. Then a colleague delivered that water to a lab. What we discovered is shocking. The Test Five of the ten hoses came back with levels of lead higher than what the EPA allows for drinking water: 15 parts per billion...And that's only the beginning. Charlie Pizarro of the Center for Environmental Health says"hoses tend to be made of PVC which is a dirty plastic and lead is used as a stabilizer in that plastic." In 2004 three of the country's leading hose makers were sued by the Center for Environmental Health for having high levels of lead in their hoses. Charlie Pizarro is the group's Associate Director. "Lead is a potent neurotoxin," he says. "There is no amount of lead that's safe for a child. " The Center for Environmental Health won a settlement from the manufacturers, who agreed to reformulate and significantly reduce lead levels by July 31, 2007. He says "they create a public health risk to children. They put children at risk for brain damage, developmental disabilities and a host of other very serious problems." Some of the hoses were from 2 of the 3 manufacturers named in the agreement. And Pizarro says that agreement is important because warning labels aren't enough. "There's a need," he says, "for a strong national standard on lead in all products but particularly products that are going to be used by small children." The Lab's Findings 4 of the 5 hoses with high levels of lead were manufactured by companies that promised, as part of their court agreement, they'd make their product safer. Our lab found lead levels as high as 290-parts per billion. That's almost 20-times higher than what the epa allows for drinking water. We contacted the makers of the hoses that tested high in our study. "Colorite - Tekni-Plex" - the maker of Colorite Waterworks products, did not respond to numerous requests for comment. "Teknor Apex" - the maker of the "NeverKink" hose that we tested told us they are in compliance with the court settlement. Pizarro says based on our investigation, his group is ready to take action. He says: "this is appalling. Shame on you. You cannot be putting lead in products that children are going to be coming in contact with." What Should you Do? Experts say despite the warning labels, hoses are safe for watering plants and vegetables. But don't drink from them, and make sure children know to never drink from them. The only exception: Hoses specifically for RV's and campers, that are made from medical grade vinyl thats safe. So stay safe and Don't Waste your Money. I'm John Matarese. (http://www.wcpo.com) I was always a person who would take a drink of water from the hose while watering the grass. My little brother likes to run through the sprinkler with his buddies. Having dangerous amounts of lead in garden hoses is scary! I won't ever drink out of my hose again!

  13. The Mountains Win Again - Blues Traveler Classic beer song...
  14. I had a dream that I was cutting willows while reading the forums and I wasn't really paying attention to my player. When I finally looked, I was getting killed by a tree spirit. I didn't react fast enough to save myself so I died. Lost everything I owned...it really sucked until I woke up and realized it was a dream.

    They are considered molars that come in at the very back of the jaw. A lot of people don't have enough space for them, (including me), so they have to get them taken out.
  16. Diesel replied to Diesel's topic in Off-Topic
    Happened to me >_>. The first time I had general anesthetic I had great pain breathing for several weeks, and after that it tooks months of breathing exercises for my lungs to go back to their normal size. And it was a small operation, I was only 16, and I had all those problems. That makes me feel MUCH better... Anyways, thank you for your insights. I did some thinking last night and I'm not as worried as I was before. I figured that it's only a 45 minute operation so what could go wrong? O and I hope your urethra operation goes well Lageris89.
  17. That was all of Ohio? I thought only where I live Yay Ohioans :thumbsup: . No smoke :thumbsup: . (yes, I live in Ohio o_O. Huzzah! and whatnot.) Go Buckeyes! Go Buckeyes! Seriously though, I have asthma and ever since the ban went into affect(effect?) it's been great! I can actually into a sports bar without dying.
  18. Diesel replied to Diesel's topic in Off-Topic
    Yeah they gave me the choice of getting a local anesthesia or getting totally knocked out and I didn't let my doctor even finish his sentence before I told him to knock me out. Another thing that I'm not looking forward to is not being able to eat for 8 or so hours before the surgury...I'm a 6'2" 170 lbs. teenager. I'm always hungry!
  19. Diesel posted a topic in Off-Topic
    I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled this Thursday and quite frankly I'm scared out of my wits. I've never had any type of surgury before and I'm really afraid of getting knocked out. All of these thoughts run through my mind: What if I never wake up? What if the next thing I see is the pearly gates? (or worse :evil: ) and so on... Well so that's that...can anyone give me some reassurence that nothing will go wrong, cause I'm kinda freaked about this
  20. Once again, another example of a band that I used to like but because the radio and every other media source overplayed their songs, I dislike them now...
  21. W00T! New videos have arrived! (They're at the end of this article) IGN Btw I already preodered \ \

    That's good to hear. Losing my memory for zelda was one of my biggest fears.
  23. My cousin's 360 broke recently. It sucked for him because the day before he bought Guitar Hero 2.
  24. Diesel replied to Diesel's topic in Off-Topic
    I just called Nintendo of America and they told me to send it in for a totally free repair! They're even sending me a pre-paid box so I don't have to pay shipping! \ \ Now I only have to wait for them to finish...
  25. Probably Son of Beast at King's Island near Cincinnati just because I live near it. Too bad it's gone now though :(
