After seeing the commercial on this I WENT online and read about it and knew it had to be too THIN to be a complete package. |

No, it's cool. She's o.k. with STUFF like that.These are pretty unique, however, from what I've READ about them in the PAST they're illegal in a lot of states because of being such a distraction. Although at the price they run I don't THINK the person buying them would really care. |

Answer» Very good point, soybean. I even didn't notice. The book was authored by several European academics and specialists and edited by Stéphane Courtois.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Book_of_Communism Nazism looks like almost an innocent baby, compare to the above....I use Vista-aero on Firefox 2.0.0.11. Hopefully upload works, because ImageShack kept giving me 500 - Internal Server Error. [file cleanup - saving space - attachment deleted by admin]Quote from: Soviet Genius on January 31, 2008, 08:32:17 PM I use the default 2.0 theme but I shrunk it into one toolbar:I have even fewer BUTTONS than you No, I don't actually live in Russia, I moved to Canada about 8 years ago (because of parents). I was born there and I do speak Russian. And I'm a communist because the main thing causing poverty and holding back society in general is money. That and I just hate the American government.Quote And I'm a communist because the main thing causing poverty and holding back society in general is money.I'm sorry, young man (I assume), but you know nothing about communism.I use the default theme, with a bunch of stuff... I recently removed a bunch of unused quicklinks, thank goodness.

Or the U.S. Name a Communist Government that did/does better. We have our faults but personally i'll take it. Besides i believe U.S. bashing is a prerequisite for Canadian citizenship...no ?Quote from: patio on February 04, 2008, 11:30:00 AM Besides i believe U.S. bashing is a prerequisite for Canadian citizenship...no ?I bash the US much less than Canada. Canada depends on the US for everything. And if you people hate it so much, I'll take the bar off.That was a nice move. It looks much better I had no problem with it...i was just asking for clarification. And i wasn't bashing Canada at all. Merely observing how conviently they pick on the U.S. I work in a Russian community where i live about 5 months of every year and meet many interesting hard working people with common views...but very few Communists. That's what led to my questions. My intention was not meant to offend and I apologise if it did.Quote I had no problem with itI did. I lived there. Don't misread me. I know number of Russians, and I like them. Same roots....Slavic peopleThat was part of my point. A land of People should not be confused with Politilical or ideological doctrine... I think that's starting to be realised |

Solve : Land line vs. cell phone? |
Answer» I use cell phone, only.Land line and a mobile phone for me. I have a service from Metro PCS, where for ~$50/month, I have unlimited everything: calls, text, internet, etc. i have that with Bell, unlimited text, internet, calls (after 6:00pm- 7:00am weekdays and all day weekends), and free caller ID and voicemail for ~$30. i know a GIRL who works at bell, she gave me an awesome deal .Quote after 6:00pm- 7:00am weekdays and all day weekendsMy calls are unlimited 24/7I use both but mostly use land line. For cell phone, I use a pay-as-you-go plan with T-Mobile. I buy 1,000 minutes for $100. That'll will usually last me a year, with some minutes left over that I can carry over to the next year. So, I'm normally spending about $8 or less per mo. for cell phone use. I also occasionally use Yahoo! Voice to make PC-to-phone calls; it can save on long distance calls. Where's VOIP ? ?Do you use it?Quote from: Broni on February 03, 2008, 10:46:51 AM Quoteafter 6:00pm- 7:00am weekdays and all day weekendsMy calls are unlimited 24/7 nice.Quote from: Broni on February 04, 2008, 06:56:52 PM Do you use it?I do. But not for PC to phone calls.I use my cell with family..we all have verizon...or on weekends. Mostly I like to use my home phone. It was with Sunrocket, but they went out of business and now I'm with Teleblend...I have everything you can possibly want for $199 a year. Has to be used with your hi speed though. Unlimited everything. |

Solve : DISAPPEARING CAR DOOR? |
Answer» Quote But what if it rains?That was one of first thoughts...lol. looks sweet. it has a few issues but looks awesome. ID get one just on drivers side and a NORMAL on passengers lol. where do you find all this stuff Broni? And please post a video of disappearing elephants and their mechanism lol.No more elephants, you perverts....LOLOK.... all the safety issues aside - because these would have to be worked out.... The first couple of THINGS I thought about was... VERY JAMES BOND! Good - It will be VERY easy to get handicapped people in and out, and into a WHEELCHAIR. You can have a very nice car and still get in and out easily. Normal doors are a pain, trying to get someone into a wheelchair. BAD - What is every woman taught when alone? GET to your car, shut the door, lock the door, and ONLY THEN start your car. This door takes too long to close. Of course, this car is very, very expensive, so it would not be something I would be driving any way. >>>>>>> I am just WAITING for flying cars. <<<<<<<< |

I too choose Totem Poles and at the same time wonder where Patio is. you forgot to put stripper poles on the list. those are my favorite.Quote from: gamerx365 on February 01, 2008, 01:35:09 PM you forgot to put stripper poles on the list. those are my favorite. How could I forget those!? I think the pole needs to be ammended. Look's LIKE "where is patio" tips the scales.not ANYMORE. stripper poles win. hha. now were all thinking of stripper poles and have forgotten about Patio. I'd rather not think of them both at the same time though.Yar! Must poke out my mind's eye! Aaaaaah! Hey, where's Kevin Rudd (the Australian GOVERNMENT)?? I THOUGHT he loves stripper poles! (Nah, that was before he won the ELECTION. I don't hate the guy) |

Solve : Craigslist Ad Seeks Hitman to “Eradicate” Poster’s Lover’s Wife? |
Answer» HERE Melanie McGuire has been dethroned as holder of the “most stupid USE of the Internet for criminal activities” by Ann Marie Linscott, who posted a help wanted ad on Craigslist seeking a hit man to kill her lover’s wife. Melanie McGuire had, after all, ‘only’ used the Internet to Google for ways to kill her husband (which she eventually did). On its own, the search would not have been illegal - rather it was used to help unravel the case and indict her. But oh, Ann Marie Linscott, how stupid do you have to be to post on a public forum an ad which in itself is illegal (soliciting a murder is illegal), looking for help committing an act that is illegal? Pretty stupid, we say. Linscott, a native of Michigan, posted the Craigslist ad, looking for a “freelancer”, in November. When someone ANSWERED, thinking that it was for a freelance writing job, Linscott, signing her name a “Marie”, told him that she had a job for some “silent assassins”, and that job was “to eradicate a targeted victim,” and that “he would receive $5,000 upon completion of the eradication task.” “Marie”’s response included the address of the “targeted victim”, who, when police followed up, turned out to be the wife of a man whom Linscott had met online, and with whom she had subsequently had an affair. When the FBI showed up at Linscott’s home in Michigan last week, she admitted to authoring the Craiglist posting and subsequent emails. And, ACCORDING to reports, when the FBI asked her what she meant when she had written “eradicate” the targeted victim, Linscott replied “Duh, well, have her killed.” Perhaps we should amend that to “Very stupid.”Thank god for stupidity else someone might actually have gotten hurt.Sometimes I wonder if I should go outside anymore. I COULD live in my basement, order food online and have them drop it down a chute, live off selling things on eBay, and having a sump pump to push waste up into the sewage system. Quote from: Zylstra on FEBRUARY 01, 2008, 05:43:21 PM Sometimes I wonder if I should go outside anymore. Doesn't sound like a bad idea, actually. Could we be room mates?Quote from: SilentAssasin64 on February 01, 2008, 06:33:53 PM Quote from: Zylstra on February 01, 2008, 05:43:21 PMLol, sure, just fly up here, plenty of room in the two part basementSometimes I wonder if I should go outside anymore. |

Solve : Do you know what was Sony's first ever product?? |
Answer» HERE When it was FOUNDED in MAY 7, 1946 the first product of Sony was not a Walkman, A VCR or a television but it was an electric rice cooker. Brainchild of Ibuka one of the co-founder the electric rice cooker was made by merely interlocking aluminum electrodes which were connected to the bottom of a wooden tub, was a PRIMITIVE product.

Solve : What's with...? |
Answer» I briefly considered setting up a triple boot (Win98/XP Pro/Vista) until another post reminded me that 98 gets confused if you give it too much RAM to play with. I didn't fork out all that $$ to get 4GB of low latency RAM to limit myself to 512 MB!For all the people that don't want to pay the money for the newest software and hardware, I would just recommend linux. I briefly considered setting up a triple boot (Win98/XP Pro/Vista) until another post reminded me that 98 gets confused if you give it too much RAM to play with. I didn't fork out all that $$ to get 4GB of low latency RAM to limit myself to 512 MB! Solutionpatio: It looks LIKE the workarounds limit the amount of RAM Windows 98 uses so that it doesn't CHOKE, or am I reading it incorrectly? Correct. It maxes out at about 768 and stays stable...these settings can be used in both a dual-boot setup or on a VM. |

Solve : Steal This Wi-Fi? |
Answer» Quote from: socrates on January 30, 2008, 01:54:37 PM I have security on my setup at home, but I give my guests passwords. What I don't want is neighbor freeloaders (i live in an apartment) ripping off my internet and not purchasing their own. Ever burn a friend's CD for yourself? No matter how you RATIONALISE it it's an irresponsible article at best...i'll bet he's out of work inside of 6 months. If not he'll be somewhere else where they pay for drivel.Quote from: michaewlewis on January 30, 2008, 01:58:54 PM Quote from: socrates on January 30, 2008, 01:54:37 PMI have security on my setup at home, but I give my guests passwords. What I don't want is neighbor freeloaders (i live in an apartment) ripping off my internet and not purchasing their own. We're talking about two different things though. I personally have nothing bad to say about those who steal music, but that's another story. The issue is that when someone else USES your internet on a consistent basis, your bandwith is taken up considerably (of course, a different amount depending on what they're doing on your wireless). It'd be analogous to me burning a friend's cd for myself and in turn making it harder for my friend to listen to his/her cd.Quote POSTED by: michaewlewis Posted on: Today at 15:58:54 Legality issues aside, it's still a bit different. If I play the copy I paid for at the same time as someone who made a free copy, there's no degradation in service. If a bunch of people hop onto my network they will eat up my bandwidth. Well, if someone gets on my wireless and starts slowing me down, I'll look at my configuration page and see who it is and kick them off for a few minutes while I'm downloading os updates or browsing youtube. If it becomes a recurring problem I'll block their mac address and/or talk to them about it. If it is a recurring problem, it will most likely be a neighbor, too. So I'll tell them that if they want to continue taking up my bandwidth, they can mow my lawn for me. oh and btw, if you have cable internet, your neighbors are already stealing your bandwidth... Quote from: michaewlewis on January 30, 2008, 02:16:35 PM Well, if someone gets on my wireless and starts slowing me down, I'll look at my configuration page and see who it is and kick them off for a few minutes while I'm downloading os updates or browsing youtube. If it becomes a recurring problem I'll block their mac address and/or talk to them about it. If it is a recurring problem, it will most likely be a neighbor, too. So I'll tell them that if they want to continue taking up my bandwidth, they can mow my lawn for me. I don't have cable internet, and what you do sounds like a big hassle (or rather, a pointless hassle) that isn't needed. Setup security. Period.Quote from: Eg0Death on January 30, 2008, 02:04:09 PM QuotePosted by: michaewlewis Posted on: Today at 15:58:54 Exactly.Quote from: socrates on January 30, 2008, 02:19:04 PM Quote from: michaewlewis on January 30, 2008, 02:16:35 PMWell, if someone gets on my wireless and starts slowing me down, I'll look at my configuration page and see who it is and kick them off for a few minutes while I'm downloading os updates or browsing youtube. If it becomes a recurring problem I'll block their mac address and/or talk to them about it. If it is a recurring problem, it will most likely be a neighbor, too. So I'll tell them that if they want to continue taking up my bandwidth, they can mow my lawn for me. And I would say the same to your proposition.... setting up security would be a big hassle that you would have to do. blocking a mac address is a big hassle might have to do. It may never happen. I've never noticed any unnacceptable degradation of bandwidth on my connection. It's not a problem for me. Quote from: michaewlewis on January 17, 2008, 02:30:23 PM It's something that has been argued about for years and will be argued for many more years.I give up.Quote from: michaewlewis link=topic=49243.msg316812#msg316812 And I would say the same to your proposition.... setting up security would be a big hassle that you would have to do. blocking a mac address is a big hassle might have to do. It may never happen. I've done both methods, and I personally have found major degradation due to freeloaders. It takes only a minute to setup the security (a password is the simplest), and you don't have to worry about it anymore. However, if you don't have the security setup, you've gotta go back in and check to see who's connected. Then you have to boot them, and eventually ban them if they don't stop. Also, if you think your internet's going really slow, you may go in and check the attached devices just to find that no one is leeching the first dozen times. Put plain and simple: It's a lot of hassle and worry that can be avoided with a one-minute solution: security.no worry here... Put plain and simple, you can continue to use your secured network, and I will continue to enjoy my unsecured network. We can discuss it all day long, but I have a feeling nobody's going to be changing their settings afterwards. Seems like a GOOD way to close a discussion, right? Hope so.Quote from: michaewlewis on January 30, 2008, 02:51:07 PM no worry here... Right, I wasn't trying to convince you to change your settings. I was, however, refuting that it's EASIER to leave it unsecure and then just check to see if people are eating bandwith when the situation arises. |

Just kidding.

Plus, it does use up RAM.Oh Joy.......another desktop errrr Poll.admit it patio, you love it.Quote from: gamerx365 on January 24, 2008, 07:13:27 AM dont you have to have a desktop?Yeah, but it's actually my parents's pc, so they won't let me change the wallpaper for the desktop.

Answer» patio will be excited (Sorry, I couldn't resist) You know, Internet Explorer is a key component of updates in Windows XP, 2003, 2000, ME, and 98SE...I never get drivers from Windows Update as they're usually out of date, I go to the manufacturer's site. I agree though, IE is important to have to use Windows/Microsoft/Office Update, however there are alternatives such as windizupdate or checking manually.Quote from: Calum on January 26, 2008, 06:11:09 AM Quote from: Zylstra on January 24, 2008, 06:03:43 PMWindiz, as I have DISCOVERED, does not work as well as I think it should..You know, Internet Explorer is a key component of updates in Windows XP, 2003, 2000, ME, and 98SE...I never get drivers from Windows Update as they're usually out of date, I go to the manufacturer's site. But, yes, it does work. I highly recommend just using Windows Update though.. Quote from: Zylstra on January 26, 2008, 02:18:19 PM Quote from: Calum on January 26, 2008, 06:11:09 AMQuote from: Zylstra on January 24, 2008, 06:03:43 PMWindiz, as I have discovered, does not work as well as I think it should..You know, Internet Explorer is a key component of updates in Windows XP, 2003, 2000, ME, and 98SE...I never get drivers from Windows Update as they're usually out of date, I go to the manufacturer's site. I agree. Windows Update is more reliable when checking for updates.I've always found either to be a reliable source of updates. It is quite worrying when one recommends I download an update and the other does not pick it up though - this happens occasionally with both of them. |

Broni, I think NonTechyMom is inviting you to her bed... Quote I think NonTechyMom is inviting you to her bedShe already did. Really?? What is the score? if you HANG out in the TOP left corner, you last at least ten seconds......Now, we're getting serious....strategy level....LOLQuote from: michaewlewis on January 21, 2008, 07:00:57 PM if you hang out in the top left corner, you last at least ten seconds...... You've gotta get out of there and fast, but it is hard to get out of that corner without touching the square or the walls.well broni was right with his OP, it does drive me nuts... ughhhhhh.Just some strategy... To begin... Go left and up... jump / go around the long block and hang out there for about 10 seconds. The big square block will eventually go to the bottom right and it will be heading for you. When it starts from bottom right to upper left ... slowly go straight down and then after the big block passes you, go INWARD to jump the long block again... go down, wait for the blocks to separate - go straight up, they will separate again, go down again, and then, however you can - head for the upper right corner - that is a little over 18 seconds. |

Solve : 13 things that do not make sense? |
Answer» http://space.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=mg18524911.600 1 The placebo effect Don't try this at home. Several times a day, for several days, you induce pain in someone. You control the pain with morphine until the final day of the experiment, when you replace the morphine with saline solution. Guess what? The saline takes the pain away. This is the placebo effect: somehow, sometimes, a whole lot of nothing can be very powerful. Except it's not quite nothing. When Fabrizio Benedetti of the University of Turin in Italy carried out the above experiment, he added a final twist by adding NALOXONE, a drug that BLOCKS the effects of morphine, to the saline. The shocking result? The pain-relieving power of saline solution disappeared. So what is GOING on? Doctors have known about the placebo effect for decades, and the naloxone result seems to show that the placebo effect is somehow biochemical. But apart from that, we simply don't know. Benedetti has since shown that a saline placebo can also reduce tremors and muscle stiffness in people with Parkinson's disease. He and his team measured the activity of NEURONS in the patients' brains as they administered the saline. They found that individual neurons in the subthalamic nucleus (a common target for surgical attempts to RELIEVE Parkinson's symptoms) began to fire less often when the saline was given, and with fewer "bursts" of firing - another feature associated with Parkinson's. The neuron activity decreased at the same time as the symptoms improved: the saline was definitely doing something. We have a lot to learn about what is happening here, Benedetti says, but one thing is clear: the mind can affect the body's biochemistry. "The relationship between expectation and therapeutic outcome is a wonderful model to understand mind-body interaction," he says. Researchers now need to identify when and where placebo works. There may be diseases in which it has no effect. There may be a common mechanism in different illnesses. As yet, we just don't know. 2 The horizon problem OUR universe appears to be unfathomably uniform. Look across space from one edge of the visible universe to the other, and you'll see that the microwave background radiation filling the cosmos is at the same temperature everywhere. That may not seem surprising until you consider that the two edges are nearly 28 billion light years apart and our universe is only 14 billion years old. Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, so there is no way heat radiation could have travelled between the two horizons to even out the hot and cold spots created in the big bang and leave the thermal equilibrium we see now. This "horizon problem" is a big headache for cosmologists, so big that they have come up with some pretty wild solutions. "Inflation", for example. You can solve the horizon problem by having the universe expand ultra-fast for a time, just after the big bang, blowing up by a factor of 1050 in 10-33 seconds. But is that just wishful thinking? "Inflation would be an explanation if it occurred," says University of Cambridge astronomer Martin Rees. The trouble is that no one knows what could have made that happen, but see Inside inflation: after the big bang. So, in effect, inflation solves one mystery only to invoke another. A variation in the speed of light could also solve the horizon problem - but this too is impotent in the face of the question "why?" In scientific terms, the uniform temperature of the background radiation remains an anomaly. More at the above link.... |

Solve : Microsoft's "Unfair Advantage"? |
Answer» No, this isn't a rant. But I'm just wondering, what gives Microsoft the right to take down any website they think is going to kill their monopoly? I MEAN, they removed KoL's VistaXP theme, they removed the AutoPatcher.com download page, what are they going to do next? I don't think they can kill firefox. Firefox has Google's full support, in both code and cash and probably other avenues as well. Really?? That explains Firefox STARTING with the Google search page...Ya, if I remember right, Google "donates" around $55 million a year to the mozilla foundation.Quote from: michaewlewis on January 07, 2008, 08:57:59 PM Ya, if I remember right, Google "donates" around $55 million a year to the mozilla foundation. Whoa, that's a lot of money.here's a link about firefox and google: http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/11/11/2036218Unfair advantage? I think not. Those software that patch >their< UI system are illegal, and violating copyrights beyond your imagination. The only thing they can do to get new users to buy new computers with their newer kernels is to make it look different. So, the obvious solution is to make sure that NO ONE trys and makes a way around that, they are a business, and if they STOP making money, they will stop making products. With the people they employ, it wouldent take very long for their company to start really running down with the current spending's of Microsoft are the moment. Consider this: My school out in a town with a population of about 1300 and a total of 300 students grades K-12 (I have around 33 people in my graduating class, 28 last year) wouldent have new technology if it wasnt for the extra money Microsoft donated to my school to buy new technology. We now have new computers that run nicely. Buy more Microsoft products! Support my school! I see your point. Didn't realise that in the first place.Quote from: michaewlewis on January 07, 2008, 08:57:59 PM Ya, if I remember right, Google "donates" around $55 million a year to the mozilla foundation. if i could get 0.05% of that, i would be happy...and google's pretty rich too aren't they? Quote from: C.C.2020 on January 16, 2008, 01:03:07 PM and google's pretty rich too aren't they?Certainly, not near as MUCH as Microsoft. Its Bill Gates goal to make the Microsoft Cooperation money go back to the public through the Bill and MELINDA Gates Foundation. Who here has read the book 'Breaking Window's"? It's about Microsoft... it's a really good read. After I read it I stopped hating Microsoft as much...When I finally woke up and realized that the entire world relies on Microsoft, I stopped hating them. I said to myself, "If Microsoft didn't exist today, where would I be?".I don't hate Microsoft. I use their products 12+ hours a day. It just kind of drives me crazy that they make everyone believe that there are no other options besides Microsoft. I forget what the word is.... monotony... monogamy..... oh wait.... monopoly. |

Solve : WARNING: Major security flaw in Windows XP (THAT DOESN'T HAVE A PATCH)? |
Answer» Now I don't know if this has being posted, nor do I know if this applies to Vista, but anyway... The standard behaviour of windowsXP etc. after installation is to automatically log the user inThis is not a major security flaw if left alone. The idea of it is when you first set up windows XP, the computer creates the account Administrator, and you set up one too. If you screw up your computer or lock yourself out, the Administrator account is the one USED in Safe Mode to fix it. If you disable the Administrator account it can screw up your computers safe mode.Yes, but an admin account let's you do anything to the computer. Disable hardware, install spyware/viruses, etc etc etc. If you setup a strong password, you can reduce the risk of that happening.Okay, I agree, Read this: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/technetmag/issues/2006/01/SecurityWatch/Actually (this is also mentioned in the article Bones92 links to) the best advice is to either disable the account or leave the password blank (if you're only WORRIED about remote attacks and not attacks by someone who has physical access to the machine). The reason is that by default, accounts with blank passwords can only be logged in to locally, not remotely. Security wise the best thing is probably to disable it. Even when disabled it will still be available in safe mode. This is the only situation anyone should ever need the admin account anyway.Ok, thank you Deerpark and Bones92.If someone REALLY really WANTS access to your system (my keys are typing... funny today) then they would load a Linux Live CD up on it and just copy the files to their friendly flash drive. The best option you have is to upgrade to Vista Ultimate, and get BitLocker Drive Encryption. |

Where did you get a photo of my KITCHEN from??? YUMMY!!! KFC-H Kentucky Fried Chicken Heads!!Oh yeah, they eat things a lot worse than fried chicken heads. How about stuffed pig intestine? Fried bugs? Even the boiled poop hole of some animals? I forgot to mention I threw out my back in August. $20 for the initial doctor visit, then $10 per physical therapy treatment (once a week for 8 weeks). There's a nice medical tourism trade here.

Most people have been shocked by the video because it hits CLOSE to home for just about anyone who has ever stayed at a hotel in the past. Ever seen these? http://www.entomology.cornell.edu/Extension/DiagnosticLab/IDLFS/BedBugs/images/Bedbugs-029.jpg I have. By the hundreds. NOT pleasant. I cannot bring myself to ever get into a hotel bed without first stripping it and upending the mattress, and having a good look for myself. I'll remake the bed - I don't mind. It is the first thing I do. I don't even like to bring my bags into the room before I do it. Bedbugs issue is shown in another video from within the link, I posted.Quote from: Broni on January 07, 2008, 11:28:27 PM Bedbugs issue is shown in another video from within the link, I posted. I'd forgotten to look. Just did. They are right - check the bed. But for me, I don't just have a look. I mean it... I upend it. Sad part is, there is nothing a hotel can do about preventing them. They are carried in by guests, then multiply. Nobody knows they are there until it is too late. The only way for the hotel to prevent them, would be to prevent anyone from bringing them in - in other words, to stop accepting guests. I hope neither you nor anyone here ever gains any experience with them.Yeah, I've had a run in with bed bugs before. I rented an apartment here... ohhh it's been a few years back now. Anyway, it already had the furniture in it, including the bed. After a few days of sleeping there, I developed little pink spots all over my skin. Couldn't figure out what it was until a friend at my office mentioned that it looked like it might be bed bugs. Had the matress checked and sure enough that's what it was. Apartment came in and took care of it, changed the mattress. Never had spots after that.Hi Broni, watched that video about hotel glasses...pretty gross. I'm a Chef in real life & always bring bottled drinks whenever I stay at a hotel. Always check the room for other peoples hair too! Yuk! Once had a room that when you flushed the toilet the bathroom sink would slowly FILL up?? Changed that one pretty quik.I am never traveling again.... And if I do, I am bringing my tent! I would rather deal with the spiders and snakes, than deal with bed bugs, strange germs, and LET's NOT FORGET LICE! |
