I am having a winter carnival birthday party, and i need some ideas on what to do, do you have any ideas?

The party is based on winter and evryone but me and my party planner get to wear white.


I already have a cotton candy machine, and a snow-cone machine. Also, a chocolite fountain.


It is for a 13 year old.


The house will be decorated with christmas trees, snow on the ground, and stuff like that.


Have any more ideas on how to decorate, or ideas on food??

I am having a winter carnival birthday party, and i need some ideas on what to do, do you have any ideas?
ice skating, snowflake making i dont know! lol! Soory. BUt I really think that ice skating might be a good idea. If that isn%26#039;t possible then an art contest? The winner gets a free ticket to a movie? Oh a movie! Try Fred Claus it%26#039;s hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:How about having them decorate their own Christmas ornament? Sounds like you have everything under control. A snowman might be a nice touch for a decoration item! I would be careful with the chocolate unless it is white with them wearing all white.. lol..
Reply:First of all , am I invited? Second of all , I do believe that is more than enough and 3rdly , can I bring my daughter too.
Reply:Hmm, maybe you should have it under a big tent.. just like a carnival. Then make kids go on costumes, like really festive costumes.





Have flaglets: Cut art papers in triangles then hang it on a string, have spaces for every triangle then hang that on the ceiling.. have lots of that.





Get an electric fan, cut very long thick strips of colored papers then tie in to the electric fan.. when you turn it on, it%26#039;s gonna make some nice waves in the air.





Plus, have FACE PAINTING activity!





Have fun!!
Reply:There are these lovely treats called snowballs and they%26#039;re made out of coconut, they%26#039;re delicious. They%26#039;d go down well at a winter party.
Reply:Oh my goodness, what a great mom you are. That sounds fun for adults as well. You already have so much good things going on. Is there a movie you could all watch, maybe one that involves snow. Umm, how about white chocolate of some sort. . .I know you have the fountain, but ya never know. There are those white lindt mints. Can you make white milk shakes? I think something important you are forgetting are games. How about something with snowballs, cotton. Have a race with cottonballs on a spoon etc. have fun!
Reply:You can greet your guests by writing on the snow or have a Snow Writing Contest, you need spray bottles with water and food coloring. If it is in the evening you can add clear holiday lights to your decor. You can have the kids make their own snow flakes, that is if you trust them with a pair of scissors or make their own party favors like bracelets with blue, white, silver beads or headdresses. You can have a Snowball Throwing Contest, a Snowflake Hunt (you can use the ones the kids made and save yourself some work).


For food you can have any type of cake you just have to get white glaze and decorate it accordingly, you can serve them hot cocoa with white marsh mellows; or simply chocolate dipped marsh mellows, nuts, fruit, etc (you can use white chocolate), it all depends on how formal you what the eating to be, and most important ask the 13 year old who%26#039;s party this is: what do they want?
Reply:For food you should get chips. kids love them.
Reply:you could give 2-5 tickets for every game and you could buy winter toys like snowmen,stuffed christmas, of stuffed snowflakesand each one costs a sertan amount of tickets


and for food you could make christmas cookies, hot choclate, and anything that has to do with winter


well hope that helps

Selfish Suicide


By: Valeria





Smoking cigarette, dirty jeans,


Look up to the gray smoke sky


Nothing.





Drip, drop;


The clouds can%26#039;t hold their sickening soak.


They murmur.


They whine.





Raining damn hard;


Let the drops of acid pour down your white stained shirt,


Let them rip through the thin cotton,


Of moth eaten cloth.





To your pale dying flesh-


It seeps through your pores,


Numb to all problems,


No effect.





By the river, by the acid bank,


Trees choke on their final breath.


Birds long to soar in the open sky,


Incapable, poisoned, never to fly.





Taste the death liquid,


Our gift to mother nature.


taste the bland sadness,


Of our dying earth-





Left alone;


With nothing but ourselves.


Such selfish suicide.

How do you find this poem?
I found this poem on Yahoo Answers.





seriously though, I think it is a good start on a deep and far-reaching subject. I would like to see it expanded to include more of the things we do to our world for the sheer reason of selfish greed.
Reply:i like the rhythm of the poem and the message is strong but a little too dark for my taste but don%26#039;t worry about ppl that tell you that they hate it or don%26#039;t like it b/c it is how you feel about your own poem that matters most..just take out the good critique...and try to be versitle in your poem making

Lyrically speaking, what song's chart success defies all logic?

I%26#039;ll enter my vote for %26quot;MacArthur Park%26quot;.





Spring was never waiting for us, girl


It ran one step ahead


As we followed in the dance


Between the parted pages and were pressed,


In love%26#039;s hot, fevered iron


Like a striped pair of pants





CHORUS


MacArthur%26#039;s Park is melting in the dark


All the sweet, green icing flowing down...


Someone left the cake out in the rain


I don%26#039;t think that I can take it


%26#039;cause it took so long to bake it


And I%26#039;ll never have that recipe again


Oh, no!





I recall the yellow cotton dress


Foaming like a wave


On the ground around your knees


The birds, like tender babies in your hands


And the old men playing checkers by the trees

Lyrically speaking, what song%26#039;s chart success defies all logic?
The Macarena
Reply:Without a doubt a Starship song. Most of what the Starship or Jefferson Starship did rocked, but this P.O.S. just blew chunks.

Is this safe for my rabbit?

my oak trees are not pesticided or anything but I heard you can only give them fuit branches, do you think it would be safe to give them an oak branch?





Also, is cotton safe for rabbits?








Thanks!

Is this safe for my rabbit?
No oak branches. Yes, untreated apple branches. No fruit branches from trees that have pitted fruit (peach, plum, apricot. Cut out the seeds from apples and only give one slice per day - one treat per day max.





Cotton, no. Give paper grocery bags to hide in and shred, or popsicle sticks to chew. Try soaking them in apple juice and let dry first for an extra yummy treat.
Reply:I have a source at home that tells you everything a rabbit can and cannot eat. It is called: %26quot;The Rabbit Handbook%26quot; by the Barron%26#039;s Pet Guide Company. I bought mine at Barnes %26amp; Noble...but you can also order it on Amazon.com.





Good luck with your rabbit!
Reply:no





rabbits eat apple branches and the apple itself oak is very bad for your rabbit

I am planning a birthday party for my friend, and she wants the theme to be a winter carnival?

She is turning 13 years old. We already have a sno cone machine, a cotton candy machine, and a chocolite fountain. We are going to have christmas trees, snow flakes everywhere, and a snowman backround in the party room. She doesn%26#039;t want to have any activities there, she just wants to let them have fun, talk, and dance!! Have any ideas on what to do for food and decorations??

I am planning a birthday party for my friend, and she wants the theme to be a winter carnival?
That%26#039;s really an awesome party idea...I never would%26#039;ve thought of it. I have ideas for food items.





Take some squash (any kind) and make slices (size of potato wedges or french fries), dip in flour, then egg, then seasoned flour. Fry in oil until browned on both sides and tender inside. (if kids don%26#039;t like squash, use potatoes instead)


Serve a nice warm soup in a pumpkin (inards scooped out as in for carving) that you have baked, coated in butter and salt, for 45 min - 1 hr. A good harty stew or chowder would be excellent. You can ladle the soup out and into individual bread bowls, or hollowed out acorn squashes.


Or maybe chili bowls....


make your chili. Make cheesy biscuit dough (they sell in pre-mixed packets)and spread over bottom side of muffin tins to make mini bowls. Bake them and serve chili inside these biscuit bowls and sprinkle cheese on top.


As for decorations, you pretty much have it covered, but I would suggest laying blankets on ground here and there for sitting to eat picnic-style. Or maybe some park benches or picnic tables.


You have a great time and Happy b-day to the 13 yr old...
Reply:Wow, sounds like you%26#039;ve done so well on your own there, thats sounds like such a fun party idea, and what you%26#039;ve come up with so far. Best of Luck.....
Reply:Wonderful ideas already. You could add a fog machine and Christmas lights would look nice on the ceiling or running down the middle of a table. Use snowflake confetti and jingle bells. Use lots of silvers and blues in the room.





Here are some great ideas from kidspartyfun:


Food-


soup, stew or chili


gingerbread cookies


snowball cupcakes (vanilla icing covered with shredded coconut(coconut tastes much better if toasted first))


hot chocolate


(apple cider)





Dec-


white styrofoam balls (you could make your own with crumpled newspaper wrapped in tape and spray painted white)


white, blue, and silver streamers
Reply:All foods cold: cold cuts, macaroni salad, potato salad, finger foods, tiny cubed sandwiches, cold soda, celery, carrot sticks with dip. Decorations: Ice carved statue, streamers, balloons.
Reply:let me think get fake ice and go ice skating


Duh
Reply:It sounds like you already have a lot of decorations!


If you%26#039;d want more, try finding table cloths with snowflakes on them, hang snowflake decorations from the ceiling, %26amp; hang dark %26amp; light blue crepe paper decoratively around the room, stuff like that! You don%26#039;t want the place to look TOO overbearing tho...

Why is yahoo removing this question ? the truth about hemp? The farther you question, the more they will hate?

(i know it’s long but its good information)


The Marijuana Conspiracy


THE REAL REASON HEMP IS ILLEGAL


by Doug Yurchey





And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land.


— Ezekiel 34/29





The real reason Cannabis has been outlawed has nothing to do with its effects on the mind and body.





MARIJUANA is DANGEROUS. Pot is NOT harmful to the human body or mind. Marijuana does NOT pose a threat to the general public. Marijuana is very much a danger to the oil companies, alcohol, tobacco industries and a large number of chemical corporations. Various big businesses, with plenty of dollars and influence, have suppressed the truth from the people.








The truth is if marijuana was utilized for its vast array of commercial products, it would create an industrial atomic bomb! Entrepreneurs have not been educated on the product potential of pot. The super rich have conspired to spread misinformation about an extremely versatile plant that, if used properly, would ruin their companies.








Where did the word %26#039;marijuana%26#039; come from? In the mid 1930s, the M-word was created to tarnish the good image and phenomenal history of the hemp plant...as you will read. The facts cited here, with references, are generally verifiable in the Encyclopedia Britannica which was printed on hemp paper for 150 years:








* All schoolbooks were made from hemp or flax paper until the 1880s; Hemp Paper Reconsidered, Jack Frazier, 1974.








* It was LEGAL TO PAY TAXES WITH HEMP in America from 1631 until the early 1800s; LA Times, Aug. 12, 1981.








* REFUSING TO GROW HEMP in America during the 17th and 18th Centuries WAS AGAINST THE LAW! You could be jailed in Virginia for refusing to grow hemp from 1763 to 1769; Hemp in Colonial Virginia, G. M. Herdon.








* George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers GREW HEMP; Washington and Jefferson Diaries. Jefferson smuggled hemp seeds from China to France then to America.








* Benjamin Franklin owned one of the first paper mills in America and it processed hemp. Also, the War of 1812 was fought over hemp. Napoleon wanted to cut off Moscow’s export to England; Emperor Wears No Clothes, Jack Herer.








* For thousands of years, 90f all ships%26#039; sails and rope were made from hemp. The word %26#039;canvas%26#039; is Dutch for cannabis; Webster’s New World Dictionary.








* 80f all textiles, fabrics, clothes, linen, drapes, bed sheets, etc. were made from hemp until the 1820s with the introduction of the cotton gin.








* The first Bibles, maps, charts, Betsy Ross’s flag, the first drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were made from hemp; U.S. Government Archives.








* The first crop grown in many states was hemp. 1850 was a peak year for Kentucky producing 40,000 tons. Hemp was the largest cash crop until the 20th Century; State Archives.








* Oldest known records of hemp farming go back 5000 years in China, although hemp industrialization probably goes back to ancient Egypt.








* Rembrants, Gainsboroughs, Van Goghs as well as most early canvas paintings were principally painted on hemp linen.








* In 1916, the U.S. Government predicted that by the 1940s all paper would come from hemp and that no more trees need to be cut down. Government studies report that 1 acre of hemp equals 4.1 acres of trees. Plans were in the works to implement such programs; Department of Agriculture








* Quality paints and varnishes were made from hemp seed oil until 1937. 58,000 tons of hemp seeds were used in America for paint products in 1935; Sherman Williams Paint Co. testimony before Congress against the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act.








* Henry Ford’s first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the CAR ITSELF WAS CONTRUCTED FROM HEMP! On his large estate, Ford was photographed among his hemp fields. The car, %26#039;grown from the soil,%26#039; had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941.








* Hemp called %26#039;Billion Dollar Crop.%26#039; It was the first time a cash crop had a business potential to exceed a billion dollars; Popular Mechanics, Feb., 1938.








* Mechanical Engineering Magazine (Feb. 1938) published an article entitled %26#039;The Most Profitable and Desirable Crop that Can be Grown.%26#039; It stated that if hemp was cultivated using 20th Century technology, it would be the single largest agricultural crop in the U.S. and the rest of the world.








The following information comes directly from the United States Department of Agriculture’s 1942 14-minute film encouraging and instructing %26#039;patriotic American farmers%26#039; to grow 350,000 acres of hemp each year for the war effort:








%26#039;...(When) Grecian temples were new, hemp was already old in the service of mankind. For thousands of years, even then, this plant had been grown for cordage and cloth in China and elsewhere in the East. For centuries prior to about 1850, all the ships that sailed the western seas were rigged with hempen rope and sails. For the sailor, no less than the hangman, hemp was indispensable...





...Now with Philippine and East Indian sources of hemp in the hands of the Japanese...American hemp must meet the needs of our Army and Navy as well as of our industries...





...the Navy’s rapidly dwindling reserves. When that is gone, American hemp will go on duty again; hemp for mooring ships; hemp for tow lines; hemp for tackle and gear; hemp for countless naval uses both on ship and shore. Just as in the days when Old Ironsides sailed the seas victorious with her hempen shrouds and hempen sails. Hemp for victory!%26#039;








Certified proof from the Library of Congress; found by the research of Jack Herer, refuting claims of other government agencies that the 1942 USDA film %26#039;Hemp for Victory%26#039; did not exist.








Hemp cultivation and production do not harm the environment. The USDA Bulletin ..404 concluded that hemp produces 4 times as much pulp with at least 4 to 7 times less pollution. From Popular Mechanics, Feb. 1938:








%26#039;It has a short growing season...It can be grown in any state...The long roots penetrate and break the soil to leave it in perfect condition for the next year’s crop. The dense shock of leaves, 8 to 12 feet above the ground, chokes out weeds.


...hemp, this new crop can add immeasurably to American agriculture and industry.%26#039;








In the 1930s, innovations in farm machinery would have caused an industrial revolution when applied to hemp. This single resource could have created millions of new jobs generating thousands of quality products. Hemp, if not made illegal, would have brought America out of the Great Depression.








William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst’s grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp.





In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal. Dupont’s Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80f Dupont’s business.











THE CONSPIRACY





Andrew Mellon became Hoover’s Secretary of the Treasury and Dupont’s primary investor. He appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to head the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.








Secret meetings were held by these financial tycoons. Hemp was declared dangerous and a threat to their billion dollar enterprises. For their dynasties to remain intact, hemp had to go. These men took an obscure Mexican slang word: %26#039;marihuana%26#039; and pushed it into the consciousness of America.











MEDIA MANIPULATION





A media blitz of %26#039;yellow journalism%26#039; raged in the late 1920s and 1930s. Hearst’s newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of marihuana. The menace of marihuana made headlines. Readers learned that it was responsible for everything from car accidents to loose morality.








Films like %26#039;Reefer Madness%26#039; (1936), %26#039;Marihuana: Assassin of Youth%26#039; (1935) and %26#039;Marihuana: The Devil’s Weed%26#039; (1936) were propaganda designed by these industrialists to create an enemy. Their purpose was to gain public support so that anti-marihuana laws could be passed.








Examine the following quotes from %26#039;The Burning Question%26#039; aka REEFER MADNESS:








a violent narcotic.


acts of shocking violence.


incurable insanity.


soul-destroying effects.


under the influence of the drug he killed his entire family with an ax.


more vicious, more deadly even than these soul-destroying drugs (heroin, cocaine) is the menace of marihuana!





Reefer Madness did not end with the usual %26#039;the end.%26#039; The film concluded with these words plastered on the screen: TELL YOUR CHILDREN.








In the 1930s, people were very naive; even to the point of ignorance. The masses were like sheep waiting to be led by the few in power. They did not challenge authority. If the news was in print or on the radio, they believed it had to be true. They told their children and their children grew up to be the parents of the baby-boomers.








On April 14, 1937, the Prohibitive Marihuana Tax Law or the bill that outlawed hemp was directly brought to the House Ways and Means Committee. This committee is the only one that can introduce a bill to the House floor without it being debated by other committees. The Chairman of the Ways and Means, Robert Doughton, was a Dupont supporter. He insured that the bill would pass Congress.








Dr. James Woodward, a physician and attorney, testified too late on behalf of the American Medical Association. He told the committee that the reason the AMA had not denounced the Marihuana Tax Law sooner was that the Association had just discovered that marihuana was hemp.








Few people, at the time, realized that the deadly menace they had been reading about on Hearst’s front pages was in fact passive hemp. The AMA understood cannabis to be a MEDICINE found in numerous healing products sold over the last hundred years.








In September of 1937, hemp became illegal. The most useful crop known became a drug and our planet has been suffering ever since.








Congress banned hemp because it was said to be the most violence-causing drug known. Anslinger, head of the Drug Commission for 31 years, promoted the idea that marihuana made users act extremely violent. In the 1950s, under the Communist threat of McCarthyism, Anslinger now said the exact opposite. Marijuana will pacify you so much that soldiers would not want to fight.








Today, our planet is in desperate trouble. Earth is suffocating as large tracts of rain forests disappear. Pollution, poisons and chemicals are killing people. These great problems could be reversed if we industrialized hemp. Natural biomass could provide all of the planet’s energy needs that are currently supplied by fossil fuels. We have consumed 80f our oil and gas reserves. We need a renewable resource. Hemp could be the solution to soaring gas prices.

















THE WONDER PLANT





Hemp has a higher quality fiber than wood fiber. Far fewer caustic chemicals are required to make paper from hemp than from trees. Hemp paper does not turn yellow and is very durable. The plant grows quickly to maturity in a season where trees take a lifetime.














ALL PLASTIC PRODUCTS SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP SEED OIL. Hempen plastics are biodegradable! Over time, they would break down and not harm the environment. Oil-based plastics, the ones we are very familiar with, help ruin nature; they do not break down and will do great harm in the future. The process to produce the vast array of natural (hempen) plastics will not ruin the rivers as Dupont and other petrochemical companies have done. Ecology does not fit in with the plans of the Oil Industry and the political machine. Hemp products are safe and natural.








MEDICINES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. We should go back to the days when the AMA supported cannabis cures. %26#039;Medical Marijuana%26#039; is given out legally to only a handful of people while the rest of us are forced into a system that relies on chemicals. Pot is only healthy for the human body.








WORLD HUNGER COULD END. A large variety of food products can be generated from hemp. The seeds contain one of the highest sources of protein in nature. ALSO: They have two essential fatty acids that clean your body of cholesterol. These essential fatty acids are not found anywhere else in nature! Consuming pot seeds is the best thing you could do for your body. Eat uncooked hemp seeds.








CLOTHES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. Hemp clothing is extremely strong and durable over time. You could hand clothing, made from pot, down to your grandchildren. Today, there are American companies that make hemp clothing; usually 50emp. Hemp fabrics should be everywhere. Instead, they are almost underground. Superior hemp products are not allowed to advertise on fascist television. Kentucky, once the top hemp producing state, made it ILLEGAL TO WEAR hemp clothing! Can you imagine being thrown into jail for wearing quality jeans?








The world is crazy...but that does not mean you have to join the insanity. Get together. Spread the news. Tell people, and that includes your children, the truth. Use hemp products. Eliminate the word %26#039;marijuana.%26#039; Realize the history that created it. Make it politically incorrect to say or print the M-word. Fight against the propaganda (designed to favor the agenda of the super rich) and the bullshit. Hemp must be utilized in the future. We need a clean energy source to save our planet. INDUSTRIALIZE HEMP!





The liquor, tobacco and oil companies fund more than a million dollars a day to Partnership for a Drug-Free America and other similar agencies. We have all seen their commercials. Now, their motto is: It’s more dangerous than we thought. Lies from the powerful corporations, that began with Hearst, are still alive and well today.





The brainwashing continues. Now, the commercials say: If you buy a joint, you contribute to murders and gang wars. The latest anti-pot commercials say: If you buy a joint...you are promoting TERRORISM! The new enemy (terrorism) has paved the road to brainwash you any way THEY see fit.





There is only one enemy; the friendly people you pay your taxes to; the war-makers and nature destroyers. With your funding, they are killing the world right in front of your eyes. HALF A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY TOBACCO. HALF A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY ALCOHOL. NO ONE HAS EVER, EVER DIED FROM SMOKING POT!! In the entire history of the human race, not one death can be attributed to cannabis. Our society has outlawed grass but condones the use of the KILLERS: TOBACCO and ALCOHOL. Hemp should be declassified and placed in DRUG stores to relieve stress. Hardening and constriction of the arteries are bad; but hemp usage actually enlarges the arteries...which is a healthy condition. We have been so conditioned to think that: Smoking is harmful. That is NOT the case for passive pot.





Ingesting THC, hemp’s active agent, has a positive effect; relieving asthma and glaucoma. A joint tends to alleviate the nausea caused by chemotherapy. You are able to eat on hemp. This is a healthy state of being.





The stereotype for a pothead is similar to a drunk, bubble-brain. Yet, the truth is ones creative abilities can be enhanced under its influence. The perception of time slightly slows and one can become more sensitive. You can more appreciate all arts; be closer to nature and generally FEEL more under the influence of cannabis. It is, in fact, the exact opposite state of mind and body as the drunken state. You can be more aware with pot.





The pot plant is an ALIEN plant. There is physical evidence that cannabis is not like any other plant on this planet. One could conclude that it was brought here for the benefit of humanity. Hemp is the ONLY plant where the males appear one way and the females appear very different, physically! No one ever speaks of males and females in regard to the plant kingdom because plants do not show their sexes; except for cannabis. To determine what sex a certain, normal, Earthly plant is: You have to look internally, at its DNA. A male blade of grass (physically) looks exactly like a female blade of grass. The hemp plant has an intense sexuallity. Growers know to kill the males before they fertilize the females. Yes, folks...the most potent pot comes from %26#039;horny females.%26#039;





The reason this amazing, very sophisticated, ET plant from the future is illegal has nothing to do with how it physically affects us..





POT IS ILLEGAL BECAUSE BILLIONAIRES WANT TO REMAIN BILLIONAIRES!

Why is yahoo removing this question ? the truth about hemp? The farther you question, the more they will hate?
%26quot;Weed is bad for you! Weed make people stupidmorons with no lifes. Pot smokers ae lazy bums, letting their firends tell them what to do and controll their lives. Kids are always peasured to smoke weed to be all “cool”, but it’s not.





All in all, stoners ae stupid, they can never do anythign in life but smoke weed all day!%26quot;





Stupidmorons? peasured? Don’t be calling people dumb without being able to spell correctly. SOME comments i read about a previous issue that kind fit this question right !!





I know lots of stoners who fit that bill perfectly, but, on the other hand, I know lots who have very active, productive lives. Don’t lump all in with some, it’s not fair. I smoke weed. I also work full time, run a business on the side, pay a mortgage and bills, play in a band, read extensively, exercise regularly and have an active social-life that doesn’t include smoking at all. I understand the legal and health-risks that I assume by smoking, so don’t try to tell me it’s “wrong” when you so obviously don’t know much about the topic. Walk a mile in my shoes, as they say, before you condemn my lifestyle.





“Legalities have nothing to do with what’s good and bad. It’s illegal to spit in public in some states. It’s illegal to express freedom of speech in schools if it contains any swear words. etc. Besides that, good and bad are subjective.%26quot;





Weed was first made illegal because cotton-farmers in the southern states were threatened by the versatility of hemp. As capitalists, they couldn’t reasonably lobby against the production of hemp simply because it threatened their comfortable lifestyle, after all, capitalism is all about “equal” opportunity; instead, they lobbied against marijuana (which was simple, because at the time, prohibition was in effect), once that was made illegal, they found it easy to stomp out the growth of hemp on the basis that it was of the same genus as pot. Who doesn’t love a good loop-hole?





“well weed is a long term damaging effect of course it’s bad thats why it’s illegal”





So do alcohol, tobacco, aspartame(sp?) and caffeine, but they’re not illegal.

Second to address the %26quot;crux%26quot; of what you are questioning.





I am fully libertarian on the %26quot;issue%26quot; of the drug war, I believe fully it is a war that is one that should be stopped. The reason it is not stopped is because it puts tax money in the coffers of law enforcement..





That said, in my opinion as long as your use of cannabis or any other drug (including alcohol) does not put someone else at risk for something great! the minute you drive under the influence you become a problem for me.





Cannabis does impact many things, Cognitive impairment is the chief problem with it. You become an idiot. Cannabis has been shown to decrease intellectual and cognitive reasoning ability in test subjects by dramatic numbers. IQ is decreased in the neighbor of 20-30 points, generally it is assumed that is related to inability to remain on task. (Note ADD has similar symptoms.)


When treated (ie abstinence, or in ADD cases with medication) cognition improves.

The cotton war tree was chasing some honey bees

What song is this?
Artist: Craig Morgan


Song: Almost Home


Album: I Love It





He had plastic bags wrapped %26#039;round his shoes


He was covered with the evening news


Had a pair of old wool socks on his hands





The bank sign was flashing %26quot;5 below


It was freezing rain an%26#039; spittin%26#039; snow


He was curled up behind some garbage cans





I was afraid that he was dead


I gave him a gentle shake


When he opened up his eyes


I said,%26quot;Old man are you ok?%26quot;





He said,%26quot;I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree


I was runnin%26#039; from some honey bees


Drip dryin%26#039; in the summer breeze


After jumpin%26#039; into Calico creek


I was walkin%26#039; down an old dirt road


Past a field of hay that had just been mowed


Man I wish you%26#039;d just left me alone


%26#039;Cause I was almost home...%26quot;





Then he said,%26quot;I was just comin%26#039; round the barn%26quot;


%26#039;Bout the time you grabbed my arm


When I heard Momma holler son hurry up


I was close enough for my old nose


To smell fresh cobbler on the stove


And I saw daddy loadin%26#039; up the truck


Cane poles on the tailgate


Bobbers blowin%26#039; in the wind


Since July of %26#039;55


That%26#039;s as close as I%26#039;ve been





%26quot;Yeah, I just climbed out of a cottonwood tree

Man I wish you%26#039;d just left me alone


I was almost home%26quot;





I said,%26quot;old man you%26#039;re gonna freeze to death%26quot;


Let me drive you to the mission


He said,%26quot;Boy if you%26#039;d left me alone


Right now I%26#039;d be fishin%26#039;%26quot;

How Do you Get Sap out of a gray 90% Cotton and 90% Polyester shirt?

I got Tree sap on my gray shirt and it wont come out in the regular wash.

How Do you Get Sap out of a gray 90% Cotton and 90% Polyester shirt?
Okay, try this first....





soak in a tub of pine-sol and ice cold water for a couple of hours. You may need to scrub the shirt with itself a few times (grabbing the shirt on both sides of the spot, and scrubbing together),but it should come right out.








Try second... nail polish remover. spot test for colorfastness first !!

Does cotton grow on plants or trees?

My g/F seems to think that cotton grows on those trees that have thorns on the trunk. However I disagree. I think that it grows on little plants that r like 2ft. tall %26amp; not trees. anyone who knows the answer and can settle this please do so.


thanks.

cotton grows on plants not trees
Reply:If you live in Southern California or South Florida those trees are Silk Floss Trees (Chorisia). They produce pods at least as big as a fist filled with fluffy white fiber. They also have spectacular pink %26quot;orchid-like%26quot; flowers in the fall.

The trees are spectacular and you won%26#039;t mistake them for anything. They do use the fibers for stuffing pillows and matresses.

Specifically Cotton shrubs.

Cotton plant is a bush.





It is not exactly tall as tree nor short like 2 ft. So dont disagree with eachother ....coz both of u r wrong hahahahha .....kidding.

Reply:Plants! In fact I just picked one the other day while visiting the Hermitage (Andrew Jacksons plantation) in Nashville! When the plants mature the large tennis-ball sized buds on top open displaying the dry cotton. The open buds are sharp and painful to pick. The plants are fairly short, probably about waist or chest high on me and I%26#039;m 5%26#039;4. Hope this helps!

No, it comes from the flax plant. It is the fiber from the stalks.

Should people be banned from ending answers with 'good luck' on the grounds that it's trite and phony?

I think the people who do this are desperate to be liked; it just sounds so insincere. They also often use cotton-candy phrases like: %26#039;You%26#039;ve just got to be patient%26#039; and %26#039;try to develop trust%26#039; as if these are things you just pull from trees! I mean, they don%26#039;t know whether the questioner is a child molester but here they are, wishing them %26#039;good luck%26#039;! It makes me want to throw-up.

Should people be banned from ending answers with %26#039;good luck%26#039; on the grounds that it%26#039;s trite and phony?
No, because some people actually do mean it. What is the problem? Now for the %26quot;be patient%26quot; and all that, it might come off fake and hollow, but who cares? If you do not like it, don%26#039;t read it. And if you think everyone is a child molester or some horrible person, you should either stay off the computer or get some help. Not everyone is like that, especially online, even though the media likes to portray it as such. It simply is not true. Well, good luck on trying to get it banned. And good luck on trying to be mean by not supporting someone. Oh, and good luck in life.

Is this sample from my story good or bad?

“Casper listen to me just this once. They are after you not me. They couldn’t care less about what happens to me. You are different; you are what could change me. As long as I am human, they only have to do so much to eliminate me” My voice choked out hoarsely.


“Isobel you know I swore to your brother, I’d always protect you before protecting my self . . .” he began


“That does not include situations when your life is in danger Casper. You are everything to me, without you my world loses all its meaning. I’m nothing without you Casper. I love you.” I said the fullness of the compassion in my voice making his eyes grow wide.


“How can you love something that could kill you, steal you from everything you hold dear?” he asked stopping my upcoming outburst.


Words could not speak my precise emotions. A long silence fell in the atmosphere we stood in, the pine trees swaying gently. Suddenly I lunged at him doing what I had been thirsting to do for so long. My arms wove their way tightly around his neck crushing my lips to his as blood boiled beneath my skin. I parted my lips not caring whether it awakened his blood lust or not. His resistance faulted, as he replied his own desire driving him past lines he’d been told never to cross.


His hands moved from their strong-hold on my shoulders to weave them selves around the small of my back. I distantly knew our companions could hear and sense us soundlessly. I felt the feel of Casper’s fangs on the surface of my tongue their irresistible sharp, smooth feel. A sensation my soul would never let go of. Slowly our kiss finished but neither of us willing to break it up. I stepped back parting us. He looked at peace for the one true time; I had seen him in moonlight, his ocean blue eyes closed.


I took a breath, pulling up the courage for my words.


“Casper please run, hide yourself they are coming for you. . .” I tried vainly


“And what about the pack of dogs running after you, how are you going to protect your self from them?” He countered


“I have Gloria with me. I am stronger than you give me credit for Casper” I replied harshly


The moonlight fell across his features momentarily stealing my breath. His eyes glowing.


“I will run Isobel, only if you promise to come with me. That way if we are both to die, we die with each other”. He said levelling my gaze with his.


“Neither of us is going to die. I promise you that Casper” My voice strong with emotion.


“We’ll see what faith has in store for us” Casper muttered under his breath as he lowered him self into his Saleen.


I kicked the sodden earth, damning the creatures that hunted us. Anger brewing I walked around to the passenger side, opening the door and sliding in. The cold tan, leather doing nothing to soothe my anger, instead it remained in the bottom of my heart where it sizzled burning a black, evil hole in my gut. Casper turned the car on, marvelling in my furious silence.


The engine started up as silent as ever. Only adding more tension to the already deep in despair mood the atmosphere had morphed into. The Saleen drove down a familiar trail the tyres moving soundlessly over the damp ground. I absent minded began to chew my nails, my anxiety welling up inside me. Casper stared ahead into the crystal widescreen. Appearing from the forest into a clearing. car light’s from our companions shone in the dark. The tense faces of the couples as they sat static in their seats, their expressions haunting me. Casper drove on as they joined us each in turn making a line of cars. I breathed deeply.


“This would be easier Isobel, if we weren’t together. You at least could have a safe life”. Casper said as darkened landscapes flew past us at break neck speed.


“Don’t say that please Casper, of anything you choose to say to me. Please don’t say those words” I begged him looking at his beautiful face.


He turned to me, his expression unreadable in this dark light.


Tears sparkled my eyes and poured down my sorrowful cheeks. I cried from the pain caused by his cutting words. Pain ripped through my heart as a fast flood of hurt tears fell into my open lap. Soaking through the cotton material of my track pants.


“Please don’t leave my Casper” I sobbed through my tears.


The power of his silence hit in my lungs depriving me of my remaining breath.


“I won’t Isobel, stop crying” He said softly, a touch of shame in his smooth voice.


I tried bitterly to stem my watery eyes. His hand crawled to my lap, his fingers wrapping around my shaking knee.


“I’m pulling over, so I can properly comfort you” he said gently flicking on the indication and slowing down.


The car stopped in a gravel pull off, as our entourage pulled in behind us. Tears still trickling stubbornly down my cheeks. Casper undid his seat belt, leant over and released mine. His strong arms pulled me into his lap cradling me to him. As he rested my head under his chin, his hand rubbing my back while the other soothed my hair. I opened to the relief of my internal pain gratefully wrapping my arms around him. Gently he sung in my hair, an ancient song of centuries ago. His voice smooth and silky as black velvet washing away my agony and fear. My tears stopped as he kissed away the last droplet resting on my skin. I leaned into his glacial embrace, closing my eyes.


“Better?” His melodic voice asked above my head.


“Much” I answered sliding back into my designated seat.


He smiled tenderly, tucking my fringe behind my ear. I leaned my head against his fingers, kissing each softly in turn until he reluctantly pulled his hand back.


“Come on Rose, let’s beat these demons of ours” He spoke calling me by my middle name.


I smiled weakly. As our journey kicked off again.








“Didn’t the rest worry, when we stopped?” I asked sometime later.


“No, I had told them beforehand we might stop a few times on the way”. He answered as a vibrating sound came from Casper’s sleek, black mobile phone.


“Could you answer that for me please” He requested


I picked up the smooth rectangular object, my eyes flickering to the illuminated ID.


“It’s Imogen” I stated to Casper flicking open the face plate.


“Imogen” I answered casually


“The hunters are on our trail. We can outrun them if we take the high road on the next left” She explained briskly wasting no time in getting into business.


“How far behind us are they?” I asked the first logical question to come to me after the information dump she had given me.


“Layton says twenty-five miles, but their moving quickly. And their thirsty. So I recommend adding another item of clothing on” She stated her words coming quickly. I grabbed my jumper from the back seat, throwing it on while holding the phone to my ear.


“Ok is that it?” I asked checking


“For now, yes it is. Good luck Izzy” she aid before hanging up promptly.


“So their following” Casper said.


I should have known he would have been listening.


“Their behind us by twenty-five, but Imogen says we can outrun them if we take the higher road, rather than stay on this road” I answered a strange determined feeling clenching inside me


“On the left” Casper added.


I nodded as the car veered to the left turning on a completely unlit road that ran over the gorge, instead of through it. The full, pearly light of the moon was the only source of light on this ribbon over the land. On we drove our band of cars, lights, vampires and a human. All of us running for our lives.

You%26#039;re copyright protected, so don%26#039;t worry about people stealing your stuff like they can on here. If you get enough people who want to buy it, you may be looked at by a publisher. You should read my featured novel Witch Tourniquet while you%26#039;re there!
