climbing stairs instead of elevators, and all the touristing was TONS of epxloring places on foot, climbing steps of towers, hiking caves and mountains... so if you do stairs more, walk instead of taking the bus 5 stops (when you have time), etc.

I have to support that. I always take the stairs at Uni (mainly down, because only an idiot would regularly climb 15 floors of stairs), and i get off the bus earlier and walk it a bit, as well as the walk to the bus stop in the city instead of the very quick walk to the stop just outside uni.

It all adds up.

Carmex is the world's second greatest invention.

The condom was clearly the first.


And my deep reasoning for not having Facebook (or Myspace) is that I really don't want people that I used to know in real life contacting me online. My past is my past and I want to leave it in the past. I was a different person then, and the last thing I want is some random person I haven't talked to in five years randomly finding my Facebook and trying to add me.

Even if I used a false name, they'd find me. Because I'd inevitably get friended by my sister, and some of them have her friended, and it's just a stalkery cycle :uhoh:

OHH Fine :grumpy:

But there ARE a lot of security measures, including one that lets you tay invisible to all people unless you invite them to view yoru profie, and they wouldn't, in turn, be able to see you on anyone else's profile, just saying

So, no suggestions for the next thread's location? Who wants to make the next thread anyway? Somebody who doesn't do it normally would be cool.

"Pharmacy" and "chemist" are synonymous here. Check out my local chemist, to the left of the tram:

s640x480


In case you can't read it, it says "ALBION PHARMACY" below "CHEMIST".

YOU JUST WANTED TO POST A TRAM PHOTO

i know that...but the euro system at least is that the chemist is someone you can consult for advice as you just told ian to do. whereas here, i dunno about mom n pop pharmacies that don't exist anymore, but the pharmacy is a tiny part of a "drug store" with lotion and hair products and makeup and tampons and paper towels and toothbrushes and greeting cards and office supplies and random other shit and holiday candy. and the pharmacists fill perscriptions but aren't really consulted and don't really know the products outside the perscriptions to recommend a specific one for a specific problem.

My other big reason is: What the fuck would I do with a Facebook? Seriously. I just have zero interest in it.

Isn't my presence on MSN good enough for you, Ashley?! :scream:

My old phone used to have a really good light. I was annoyed about losing that function when i got my new phone, but impressively the screen is brighter than the light on my old phone. Win.


And i wish i could call my remote sometimes.

... partially ... :shifty:

Ahh, right. A lot of chemists, especially the bigger ones, do sell a lot of that stuff too. But if I want over-the-counter medication and don't know quite what type, I'd always go in and ask them. They're always very helpful here. It surprises me they don't do that sort of thing over your way.

hells yes to the condom, plus the birth control pill

i hear ya about the past, there's acutally a lot of my high school "friends" and a lot from college and summer stuff hwo i'm planning to defriend after graduation cause we haven't talked and i don't care what they're doing so it's just a privacy risk or whatever.... but then there's people i'm not exactly curious per se about what they end up doing but for various reasons are useful to network with (career aspirations, where they live or want to live, etc) so i dunno what to do with them...maybe limited profile for them...

There's seriously nothing interesting about hte city but it' name though. The most interesting thing about it, is that the wikipedia article makes a mitake about it's population in the second sentence of the article. First it says it has a population of 616 people, hen it says 816
