condom all the time he is there.

A week after arriving back home in the States, he wakes one morning to
find his penis covered with bright green and purple spots.

Horrified, he immediately goes to see a doctor.

The doctor, never having seen anything like this before, orders some
tests and tells the man to return in two days for the results.

The man returns a couple of days later and the doctor says: "I've got
bad news for you, you've contracted Mongolian VD. It's very rare and
almost unheard of here, we know very little about it."

The man looks a little perplexed and says, "Well, give me a shot or
something and fix me up, Doc."

The doctor answers, "I'm sorry, there's no known cure. We're going to
have to amputate your penis."

The man screams in horror, "Absolutely not! I want a second opinion."

The doctor replies, 'Well, it's your choice. Go ahead, if you want but
surgery is your only choice..'

The next day, the man seeks out a Chinese doctor, figuring that he'll
know more about the disease. The Chinese doctor examines his penis and
proclaims, "Ah, yes, Mongolian VD. Vewy wawe disease."

The guy says to the doctor, "Yeah, yeah, I already know that but what
can we do? My American doctor wants to operate and amputate my penis!"

The Chinese doctor shakes his head and laughs. "Stupid American
docttah, always want to opawate. Make more money dat way. No need to
amputate!"

"Oh, Thank God!" the man replies.

"Yes," says the Chinese doctor, "wait two weeks. Faw off by itself". ]]> General Discussion Board blacklab http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?t=266447 Can Cold Water Clean Dishes? http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?t=266446&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:01:00 GMT This is for all the germ conscious folks that worry about using cold water to clean.

that worry about using cold water to clean.
John went to visit his 90 year old grandfather
in a very secluded, rural area of Saskatchewan

After spending a great evening chatting the night away,
the next morning John's grandfather prepared
breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast.

However, John noticed a film like substance on his plate,
and questioned his grandfather asking,

'Are these plates clean?'

His grandfather replied,

'They're as clean as cold water can get em.
Just you go ahead and finish your meal, Sonny!'

For lunch the old man made hamburgers.

Again, John was concerned about the plates,
as his appeared to have tiny specks around
the edge that looked like dried egg and asked,

'Are you sure these plates are clean?'

Without looking up the old man said,

'I told you before, Sonny, those dishes are as
clean as cold water can get them. Now don't you
fret, I don't want to hear another word about it!'

Later that afternoon, John was on his way to a nearby town
and as he was leaving, his grandfather's dog
started to growl, and wouldn't let him pass.

John yelled and said,
'Grandfather, your dog won't let me get to my car'.

Without diverting his attention from the football game
he was watching on TV, the old man shouted!

'Coldwater, go lay down now, yah hear me!' ]]> General Discussion Board blacklab http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?t=266446 Permits -it is all how you present them http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?t=266445&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:23:36 GMT I just applied for planning permission for a new-build house.

Quote:
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Ron Paul (TX-14) is pleased to announce that his and Congressman Grayson’s amendment based on HR 1207 has passed in the Financial Services Committee by a vote of 43-26 and will be included in major banking reform legislation.
The Paul/Grayson amendment:
  • Removes the blanket restrictions on GAO audits of the Fed
  • Allows audit of every item on the Fed’s balance sheet, all credit facilities, all securities purchase programs, etc.
  • Retains limited audit exemption on unreleased transcripts and minutes
  • Sets 180-day time lag before details of Fed’s market actions may be released
  • States that nothing in the amendment shall be construed as interference in or dictation of monetary policy by Congress or the GAO
“While HR 3996, if passed, will grant sweeping new powers to the Federal Reserve, at least with this amendment attached, it won’t be acting in secret anymore. This is a major victory for Federal Reserve transparency and government accountability,” stated Congressman Paul.

I tried this one method where I saved settings, changed the mac address, then loaded it but the IP changes only for about 10 seconds and then goes to what it was before I did the whole settings thing.

I am considering buying a Dell Laptop & am seeking some expert opinions to do so, as i have no clue having never owned one. This is not an urgent thing with me just something i want to look into and don't know where to start.

Due to poor eyesight i need a 17 inch screen with a very clear picture and text, that much i know. A lighted keyboard is also a must. Weight is not an issue.

My target price is approximately a $1000.00 CDN. as i live in Canada and would have to purchase here.

Would like something that will last into the future re performance and specs. I mostly use my comp. for surfing and stuff but would like to be able to do a bit of gaming and perhaps photo stuff as well.

32 bit...64 bit...Windows 7 Premium, Pro or Ultimate...Extended Warranties, etc are where i am hoping you'll be kind enough to point me in the right direction along with any good deal coupons you may know of to keep prices down.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
