Oh come on guys... The entire country of Vietnam can't be wrong. A southeast asian noodle dish with French influences is gonna make you hurl but something fried in week old oil isn't?

Different strokes...

hehehe I like the way you put that! Mass-produced chicken eggs in processed oil? Yum! I don't hate all greasy foods but if I only understand this way of dealing with hangover is to make you completely sick and hurl everything in your system.:)

I have never done Pho for hangovers but whats not to like about that? Tons of herbs there, which is the main ingredient in my fave remedy. Herbal teas. Zhi ju and ge gen, which are herbs, and ge hua, which is a flower, boiled in water until the water lessens, and then keep drinking it and you feel better after every cup! You can find all those things at any Asian market. Ginseng works really good too.

Yeah, tea works good for me too. I guess I just need something liquid and light for my hangovers.

Big bowl of Phở.

Phở cures EVERYTHING!

My last hangover was my 50th birthday party...waaay tooo much tequila, threw up from drinking for the first time in 25 years of marriage and my poor hubby was "holding the bag" literally! Got up in a blacked out state at 3am and got in the shower...wtf?

Next day, one broken toenail, brusied knees (??) and a bite mark on my shoulder...tooo bad I can't remember any of it!

Worst part, we had the party at my office so had to get up early (still drunk btw) and clean the mess... GROAN!!!!!



I knew I could count on a fellow Californian to back me up on pho's magical healing qualities :)

I have a special respect for people that can work the word "usurp" or "usurper" into conversation and totally win a debate!

Good points on both sides though... One more than the other but that's fine.

I'll stalk a guy from time to time, I'm not shamed to admit it.

I recommend everyone pay dongor a visit, he is a coolish dude with enviable abs!

That BC bud is pretty tasty and that whole health care thing...... What am I saying!? it's too damn cold and your soccer team is even worse than ours.

Getting a naked blonde girl covered in glitter for Christmas. Yes the glitter is messy and you'll have to get the vacuum out but you are still left with a present that will beat that festive sweater your aunt picked out for you.

I like reading all of the different stories about the beginning of man, but I was taught growing up that it really doesn't matter at all how we began, what matters is what we do with life once we are in charge of it. I still agree with that too. What difference does it make where we came from? It doesn't change the here and now one bit. If I had to guess I would say that bodies evolve just the same way that spirits do, so that would be evolution. But I really don't care.

The story I was taught in my family was that wondering where we came from all the time was like going to a doctor with a wound, and instead of patching you up and healing you, the doctor just keeps asking where you got hurt, what kind of weapon it was, why they would do such a thing, whether you fought back, over and over until finally you just die because the doctor was so pre occupied with the past. Same with going on and on about our beginnings in my opinion.

I pretty much agree with everything you're saying here shishi but I can see the religious folk bringing up the point that it does change the here and now because if they lead good wholesome lives they will go to heaven. Part of their belief is that god created the earth and put us here. So if they believe god is powerful enough to create life on earth than he is worthy of being worshipped and feared.

If I knew for a fact I was half martian I would probably not have any lingering questions in my mind about god, religion and science.

Of course Yoko ruined everything. Have you seen some of that "Art" of hers...

And yes I agree with sprite. We should be building that wall on the USAs northern border really. Effin Canadians making us manly Americans look bad with their compassion, knowledge and empowerment of women... I hate that!

Greeting cards covered in glitter. Thank you, I love you too but now I have to vacuum.

You can come home from a 12 hour stint in the office one day to find your darling little daughter (who was 3 yrs old last time you checked) dashing past you in the driveway with her date for the Prom!! WTF! Screw the career that robbed me of time with my daughter. Where are the pics of her and I? Mom and daughter are best buds and I am a stranger looking in.

I agree... My dad doesn't really know much about me or my sisters. He was a workaholic. I do sense he feels left out when we are all talking.

I don't see any problem with it. If you have a couple and decide that one should be making the money and the other should be raising the children, who cares what gender does what role? Some fathers are more nurturing than mothers. Many women have worked hard to establish themselves in a career and are making good money. If that career is fulfilling and she's able to make better money than her husband, then why should she put that on hold to raise the children? I see it as just another option for a family to make. I don't have any negative perceptions of it. I think gender roles have come a long way and are much more fluid right now... at least in those countries where gender equality has been more established and accepted.

Its an option I wouldn't mind having to tell you the truth. I would be really happy if my girlfriend made enough money to support a family. I might have a hard time with because I wouldn't even know how to raise a baby though...

Do you think the cultural perception of it though would have an effect on the Dads stress level? How he thinks other men and his family perceive his choice? Do you think it's harder for a man to cope with losing his career skills if he had a career before the children?

A stay-at-home dad is a man who does not have a traditional job outside of the home and is his children's primary caregiver and also the homemaker for his family while his wife has the sole responsibility of making all the money. Stay-at-home dads are on the rise in countries like the United states, Canada and England while staying fairly uncommon in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East.

What is your opinion on this? Is it culturally acceptable where you live? Is the term stay-at-home dad a nicer way of saying deadbeat dad? What would your parents think if you told them you or if youre a woman, your husband plans to make a career out of raising the children and keeping a nice home? What advantages or disadvantages do you see with this practice?

I'm sorry Felix but if I looked at that with a hangover I'd feel quite sick. Does it taste nice?

Yes it does. It's just noodles with delicious broth. Soaks all that alcohol right up and no hangover in the morning. For me it goes down easy after you have a hangover too.

It makes for a great piece of fiction or a Hollywood blockbuster movie

I don't know about it being a great piece of Hollywood fiction but they did make at least one movie using this theory.

Mission to Mars staring Jerry o'connel and Gary senise! In it they go to mars, find a secret room under a mountain and unlock it using music. They go inside and talk to an Alien that explains life on earth was created when one of their life boat spaceships crash landed on earth millions of years ago making us all half Martian! Doesn't sound any whackier than creationism but maybe just a little wackier than evolution...

I've been a cheater. I always thought me being with others brought the one who held my heart closer to me. Made him seem more special.


I totally understand this. It's like you realize how much more of a connection you have with your significant other when you cheat. It's wrong I know blah blah blah... But cheating doesn't always mean that you don't love your partner...

You suuuure that's not the PG-13 version WMM????


Jimmy and the Twins

The lights are the best part of Christmas! And Christmas ham...


But I think people that get upset over how people greet each other at holiday time need to stop, take a look at their lives and realize how well off they are. Only people with no problems whatsoever would worry about something like that.

Some one says merry Christmas to me, I say it back. Happy hannukah? Well happy hannukah to you too buddy. Seasons greetings right back atcha... Who cares really?

What great news to logon too! Nice going Penny!

I think that any member with 3 or more badges is addicted to Lush. In particular, anyone who has the badge "Enthusiast." That's really a synonym for addict

They should make an enthusiast badge that is for six months straight instead of the regular month. Then we'll really see the lushies who've been mainlining it...

Guilty as charged.

You just might need a little gold dot on your enthusiast badge ;)

To me it depends on the tattoo. If a girl has something kind of artistic and well done then it's sexy. If she has a big Metallica tattoo with lighting, not sexy.

I was with a girl that had a butterfly tattoo on her shoulder once. Everytime we had doggystyle sex I couldn't control myself from not aiming at it when it was that time.

After all...how can anyone combine humour and politics?


You've posted something humorous? Really? And I missed it? Damn...

A shame you wont be visiting us again though...I bet all the naked college girls on wreck beach will miss you.



I thought that was pretty funny in the Vancouver thread....

Really? Well, I guess that's why they say "It takes all kinds..."

I guess so... Maybe you need us around so we can continue to make you look so classy.

Frankly I don't see how you can get to the point of cummings before noticing that... I mean when I get with a girl I tend to touch her vagina at least once before penetration. Hooker or not.

Hmm... I never believed that words can't hurt you, because there are just too many examples that prove otherwise. Verbal abuse can often cause even worse trauma to the victim.
I was bullied in primary school and later on in high school. In primary school it was the typical playground bullying. It hurt and it was a sad time, but I always fought back. Just being able to hit one of the jerks in the face would make me feel less of a loser, and be able to take a few more insults and punches.

In highschool the bullying started online, and soon I was isolated from the class. They would just fill my email with angry messages and words spread quickly regarding what a bitch I was. There was nothing I could do. I tried to ignore it, but how can you ignore it when you know there are people making up rumours and that there are people believing them? I wanted to clear my name, but I couldn't because with Internet info spreads too quick and too far.

Imagine being called a worthless piece of shit every day, and there is no one for you to turn to. You can't turn to your parents because they just tell you to toughen up. You don't have friends to rely on because the overwhelming amount of shit spread about you have them starting to doubt you. Trust me, eventually you will start thinking that you really are a worthless piece of shit, or these kind of things wouldn't have happened. But that's not true. Bullying happens not because you deserve it, but becasue there are tw*ts that get a kick out of seeing others crumble before them.

Bullying is wrong whatever the form it takes. Just because you don't see the bruises it doesn't mean they aren't there. Wounds that can't be seen usually take a lot longer time and much more effort to heal.


I would like to say that this is one of the better posts I've seen in a while. This touched my heart, seriously. I think I have a better understanding about how complex cyber bullying can be. I still stand by what I said about regular bullying. Just sad that there are twats (perfect word really) that would focus their energy on something so disgusting.
