it's same concept as if you were leaning your chair on its back legs and propped yourself against a wall. you wouldn't fall until you exceeded the weight ratio at 45 degrees. but this chair has little rubber stoppers, so it adds to the friction, and you are supported on the back AND the bottom, so no. everyone here is right. you won't fall.
yea i went when i was 13 (10 years ago) and wasn't truly impressed. the only thing i remember well was the guitar-shaped pool at my hotel and the arguing family of little people (no, they did not work for Disney...) who were making a scene in the middle of the blizzard water park thing. never went on the IASW ride, BUT i've heard good things. it's sad that Disney doesn't take into consideration the feelings of their millions of patrons. i mean, the park wouldn't exist without its patrons (duh) and they should consider making an online survey of what their patrons want.. updated equipment with a brighter touch of tender loving care? or just another representation of perpetuated corporate america at it's inflated finest (and i use "inflated" to take on several meanings here).
yea i don't think we FOOLISHLY embraced these remedies, we just didn't know any better. i mean, you could consider them to be hollistic medicines, which are better for you anyway (although i'm not ruling out the importance of penicillin). i mean, who doesn't want to be high all the time? if you guys have seen "Deadwood" you would remember that everyone was either staggering drunk, high on opium, or tweaked out on laudanum. the main lady (i forget her name, i'm terrible) used laudanum for her headaches and knew she was addicted to it, yet the doctor (who was one of the drunkards) kept giving it to her despite her wishes.
hey rich-- they do sell pot scented candles and insence at head shops, or you could just pick up a reefer habit.. then you get the smell AND the calming after-effect.
someone mentioned a dirt smelling candle or perfume-- you could always use patchouli, but your friends might start calling you a dirty hippie. then some of your other friends will find it necessary to tell you that they HATE the smell of patchouli, not implying that YOU smell bad, but that people who wear it do... i mean, hey- they don't want to make you feel bad or anything, but they'll definitely let you know where they stand on the issue. and then the rest of the people you run into will say things like this: it smells like trees and dirt in here; who smells like insence?; did someone just light a spleef? you get the picture.. but if you have a strong sense of self, it won't bother you.
i'm trying to avoid the gender bias here, but since we're already separating men and women by candle scents, might i suggest that men stay away from candles to begin with? i mean, if they're so worried about SMELLING girly, i'm sure they don't want to APPEAR girly too.. allow me to suggest burning insence instead. it's more musky and creates much more of a "manly" ambiance with the slight touch of smoke in the air. make sure it isn't too near your guests though, because depending on what kind you burn, it could be a little heavy and overbearing. plus, the smell will permeate your clothes and you won't have to use your old spice at all! but then again, you might get all the "dirty-hippie" ridicule, so you might not want to take my advice anyway. oh well. happy days!
yea. my cat does the same thing. he'll sit at the door for half an hour, screaming at me to let him outside, even talking to my friends in hopes that they too will let him out. once we do, he rolls around on the porch for 2 seconds and demands to come back in. i let him meow and carry-on for a while until i open the door for him , and then when i do, he does that pause, as if he's confused that i would do such a thing. then he'll stand right in the way of the door, as if trying to get the best of both worlds, and then come in and rub himself all over me, then start yelling at me again. well I'M NOT HAVING IT! but he's cute, and i'll tolerate it. have a joyful day, all!
shecky-- you can't completely dismiss weak teachers. yea, they're weak by their own faults, but they still had to go through the education to get there, and have to deal with these little pieces of sh*t. you have to at LEAST respect that. but yes, as harsh and true as it is, they will be sniffed out by the crappy students and the classroom will probably never restore order. sad.
truth is, without using so many pretty and frilly words, teenagers are useless. they don't have a true sense of self because they're at constant battle with their peers to be cool; trying to be someone they're not. they don't have a sense of self worth because they have had nothing to contribute to on a large scale. once they turn 18 things will change, but until then, they will continue to be little sh*ts. they are disrespectful and will continue to as long as their parents don't instill certain discipline. now, i'm not saying their parents have to beat them in order to obtain tangible results, they just need to sit down and TALK to them. whoda thunk, that talking to your kids would be an effective teaching/learning agent... yunno, parents always say "yea school kids are tough.. they were tough when i was a little kid and they'll be tough when your kids go to school.. blah blah blah.." but they don't truly understand how bad it is to be a kid these days. it has changed drastically since the boomers were born, and they can't be so naive to current conditions. it's been a couple years since i've been a teenager, and i can only imagine that it has gotten worse. but moral of the story: parents need to step up and teachers need to stop taking sh*t!
i stopped drinking soda a long time ago, but still find myself sneaking sips from my boyfriend's on occasion. i don't understand what it is with soda that makes it so difficult to NOT drink. i go to class and see about 1/3 of the students drinking soda and it almost disturbs me.
@ we are in some deep s#*^: agreed. the biggest reason that i don't drink soda is the main ingredient: HIGH FRUCTOSE corn syrup. yes, its the high fructose part that's the worst.
basically, they process this corn syrup to give it a greater sweetness content, and the process makes it thinner, so more sugar in less volume. they do this so save money because sugar is not that cheap. they profit BIG TIME by doing this.
also, our human bodies were not made to process concentrated sugars like this so it becomes a great shock to our systems, forcing them to work harder and innaccurately. when this happens, our blood sugar goes up. the more you drink, the worse-off your system is, and then can lead to diabetes. wonder why diabetes has become prevelant in youth these days? yes, it does have to do with obesity rates as well, but it's because high fructose corn syrup is used in EVERYTHING. just like hydrogenated oils, you will find high fructose (whatever syrup) in almost all commercially sold food products. organic food is the only kind that guarentees these ingredients will not be in it. read your labels, know what's in your food, and save your own life by knowing what foods your body can process. you will be in much better health if you do.
@bob: yea, word.

but yes! how sad! i almost cried! that poor little sad thing.. always gets left alone.. SO SAD! x_X
