Very little, I bet on sports and I'm a good judge of what team will win. And I bet on the end result, not who wins. Like 2-1 to Rangers while someone bets 2-0 to Rangers.

Easy to take advantage of gullible sports fanatics.


Son-of-a-b... I'm never betting on sports with you again Aries.

Yeah, I've lost a small handful, but I gamble for the fun of it, I hardly ever bet more than a dollar or something, usually only a couple of coins and that's it. And on sports, yeah, Aries has gypped me on that more than once.

2-0 to Rangers... Morton isn't THAT bad a team.

Dreaming of death in a dream doesn't actually mean death. It refers to the break-up of a relationship for whatever reason, whenever it's a falling out or moving away. I guess you were close to your friend, as they are usually the subject of such dreams.

As for feeling guilt, that could be about repressed feelings you have about yourself, or your friend moving. I'm guessing that you didn't want him/her to move away, but you never said it over the phone.

Next time you talk, get some things off your chest that you have buried, it'll really help.

You're avoiding something that needs to be done, but you think that you can't do it. It can be anything from preparing a will, giving up a bad habit or conquering a fear. You want to take care of the problem, but you think that you can't.

If you have a to do list, sort it out and that should help.

Pulling all-nighters waiting for an email

Now, being one that works online, I have to do this frequently, but I bet that some people pull all-nighters refreshing the Hotmail inbox waiting for an e-mail from their friends.

It's hardly healthy, if someone wants a reply from you at 4:22 in the morning, well that's just tough.

Re: Do you think teen drinking will ever end?

Teens drink for the novelty of it most of the time, if we didn't have such an uptight attitude towards it, then we wouldn't have such a problem. Suppression is what gives taboo things power.

Besides, in France, a lot of kids drink alcohol, cause that's how France is, but they don't have a skyrocketing teenage alcoholics rate like the US.

I drink on occasion, but I've never been drunk in my life, I quit once I've had enough.

I'll admit, they're pretty tasty, but 4 million people are addicted to them? Damn, I could make a fortune selling some of those. Shame that none have shown up at my door since my move, only girl that shows up at my door just rings it and runs off.

[i]I was just smoking more to catch up on the nicotine that my body was used to getting.[/i]

That is what the something is. The problem with "lites" is that you smoke more to compensate for it, it's not an alternative, just a clever scam.

You're better off getting gum and patches or finding something to do with your hands, something other than smoking. Most people smoke out of sheer boredom, so find something else to do to keep you occupied.

Chewing tobacco, you're thoughts?

My uncle chews tobacco and he thinks that it's safer because it doesn't go into the lungs, I don't know for sure but I seriously doubt it. Don't know why you would chew it, because you can't exactly swallow it without getting a really upset stomach.

Can anyone set the record straight? I don't want him to wind up getting mouth cancer.

Here's a good site about interpreting dreams

It has pretty much most of what I already know, but you yourselves can put it to use without waiting for someone who knows dreams inside and out to interpret them. It's worth a bookmark.

In dreams seeing someone drink a lot of alcohol means that you feel useless and weak. Or that you're not taking responsibility for something that you've done wrong in the past. If you have, then they'll go away if you find what went wrong and face up to it.

Because 65% of all statistics, this one included, are made up on the spot. They just say that to provoke hysteria, and you know what? It works perfectly. Unless they go about busting down doors and catching them in the act, that number will never be accurate.

Well, since my girl dumped me, I'll be spending Valentines day munching on chocolates and hugging a big pink teddybear to ease my grief. With a devious smile on my face.

Maybe I'll give them to that cute girl in town, she loves chocolate. <3

I believe that preventing someone from reporting a crime is against the law, and classed as perverting the course of justice and obstruction. Place in a call, don't give your name, and they can't fire you for obeying the law.

Because alcohol messes with your judgment, and winds up giving you an invincibility complex as well.

Fricken idiot, FIVE times the legal limit? If she was in a bar, the bartender should've taken her keys and called a taxi.

I thought you said you put her through a table. Liar.

Anyhow, why would a medical professional need to steal medicine? They make fricken fortunes already, it'd be easier, and less suspicious, to just buy the blasted things.

Good on them. Loopholes get filled as soon as they get exploited, but that wasn't a loophole since it states where it can be advertised and not advertised. And yup, they are triggers, every time I see a Malibu ad, I get thirsty.

Citation on gambling = crime please.

I thought Casinos already had heavy taxes on them to pay of whatever debt it is. Casinos are already packed and everyone loves slot machines, it wont make a difference.

And last I looked, a Casino had a bajillion slot machines in any given area, it's like saying "Put more aisles in Wal Mart".

I prefer reality TV where one of the people turn around and yell "What are you looking at!?". Only interesting thing about Big Brother is when people go between the sheets, and they forget the top sheet. Man, us Brits have good TV.

Good to hear that you're cleaned up now Jonny.

That's how it usually it, sent through the mail. They make the package as inconspicuous as possible and read the laws to the letter to make sure nobody opens it, and in the case of the US, use the 5th Amendment clause "Right against unreasonable search" to not get charged with a crime.

Yes, illegally opening a package and finding coke wont land someone in jail.

Other than alcohol and caffine, I've never touched any drugs in my life. I'm cleaner than a polished whistle.

Some of my friends smoke weed at times, I don't really mind it, as long as they respect my no-drugs stance, and keep it the Hell out of my house.

How about some steps for the one who was cheated on? Like, just because someone had sex with your spouse, it does not give you the right to harass, assault, abuse, defame or slander the individual.

Gah... these teens need serious help, don't parents at least DRAG them to therapy? Yes, she is an adult, but a mothers job never ends.

This is something I have NEVER understood. These celebrities have enough money to have the own personal driver in their own limousine, yet they decide to drive themselves. What the heck is up with that ?


1. The pay isn't that good.
2. Ever drove past the paparazzi with a celeb in the car?
3. They expect you to do fricken everything, even walking all the way round the car to open the damn door for them.
4. They keep complaining about potholes and all that, you got plenty of money lady, spend it!
5. I'm not wearing that damn outfit AGAIN!

Well, maybe not, I don't really know, but don't let them on when they have things that need to be done, like studying and all that. And for Gods sake supervise them.
