My CRS is acting up bad today,

but someone was knetching about bedbugs here a couple of time.

I just ran across this 'homeopathic' concept...

The bean leaves used to trap bedbugs hundreds of years ago in southeastern Europe may offer a model for a non-toxic, modern-day treatment, say U.S. researchers.

The biting nocturnal insects have invaded U.S. homes, hotels, schools, hospitals and more in recent years, causing widespread itching, burning and psychological distress.

"Plants exhibit extraordinary abilities to entrap insects," the study's lead author, Catherine Loudon, an entomologist at the University of California, Irvine, said in a university news release. "Modern scientific techniques let us fabricate materials at a microscopic level, with the potential to 'not let the bedbugs bite' without pesticides."

Microscopic hairs on 'kidney bean leaves' stab the insects, effectively trapping them, the researchers discovered. They are using their findings to develop non-toxic synthetic materials that will mimic the effects of the bean leaves and help prevent bedbug infestations, according to the report, published online April 9 in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface.

Methods currently used to combat bedbug infestations include freezing, extreme heating, vacuuming and pesticides.

The age-old Balkan treatment involved scattering kidney bean leaves on the floor next to beds to ensnare the blood-thirsty critters.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides more information on bedbugs.

For men? Fuck no.

The way my ex who lives in New York talks about it, it sounds like the land of vain gym bunnies.

that is NOT true, homes. naughty arousal said it best. anybody can get laid. not everybody in nyc is on that bullshit. i know this for a fact. you do not have to look a certain way to get laid.

sounds accurate.

I think there are too many guys in the city, and too much churn. everyone is looking for absolute perfection, and there's always someone new on the scene to chase after.

i'm surprised that you're saying that when you live in jersey city.

I know I've said it before--but NYC would be such a SEXUAL PLAYGROUND for me.

or would I be too unattractive/unfit to land the guys there?

you'll be good.

I could see that.



No, but you probably wouldn't have as easy a time as you're thinking, either. You're incredibly attractive, but it seems like they're so stuck up that you have to meet some insane set of criteria for them to go for you.

From my experiences on Growlr, NYC is probably the toughest nut to crack. I think I'd have much more success in Texas or California.

man, please. i'm telling you straight up. you can get laid in nyc, man and quit doubting your looks. if you don't believe me, spend a week up here, go to a gay bar and see how fast you get laid. men are WAY different from women. when it comes down to it, a nut is a nut.

What makes you think I am upset? For one that espouses Jungian knowledge, I would think you would comprehend the systemic approach to INTJs that every piece has its place in the system if it belongs there. If all the menus, phonebooks and other related paraphernalia are in said drawer, why not place said materials there?

You use typology to normalize a lot of your odd behaviors and you do this by over-reading into the typology description of INTJ.

The way you make INTJ sound, you make me want to distance myself from it. And that's a first.

 

[ChickenGuy]

I say enough with all these stupid INTJ DISP FNCT EGSN JDFM blah blah blah blah four letter personalities.

I never heard them in my life before last year, now people like JohannBessler talk about nothing else.

It's not a religion. It's not astrology. It's just bullshit.

You start seriously believing that the entire population of the world has only whatever number (16?) of personalities, then that is the point you start MAKING yourself into whatever your pre-scripted pre-destined pre-written four-letter code TELLS you that you are.

I get fed up of recreational armchair/coffee-table 'fashionable' psychology. I will leave all that to professional doctors and (gasp) psychologists. As for myself I am personality type C.H.I.C.K.E.N.G.U.Y and it's not shared by anyone but me.

 

[refujiunderground]

You must have missed my post where I said I've had luck flirting with Texas/Cali boys on Growlr.



Aren't you always whining about how you can't get guys?

I mean, sure, I could get laid, but not nearly as much as I could in SoCal/the Bay Area or Dallas/Austin/Houston. I'd rather not deal with a bunch of stuck-up bullshit in the process too. My self-esteem takes enough hits from that kind of shit in DC, tyvm.

yeah, when it comes to simple things such as dating such as hanging out and basically having a friend that i could eventually take it in that direction with IF i get comfortable enough. being gay is still fairly new to me and i'm trying to take things slowly in terms of "fun" since i'm still a bit uncomfortable with my sexuality. it seems like a lot of guys are fast in a sense where it's either "are we fucking or not?" or at least have that type of attitude where they want to get into serious business when i'm basically trying to get over the fact that i'll eventually have to kiss a guy. so far, it seems like a lot of guys are on that hookup, wham, bam, thank you, man bullshit. what's worst off is that there's guys that will socialize, talk to you like they're all cool with you, acting like they understand where you're coming from then next thing you know, they just come out of nowhere with the "let's have sex". i'm not ready for that yet.

there was a guy that tried to do that to me last year. him and me were talking for a week on okcupid then about a week later, he wanted to have me as a boyfriend and i never met the dude before in my life. wtf. i'm trying to take things slowly and he wasn't even trying to do that.

I agree.

 

[refujiunderground]

there's a reason I don't date guys who live in the city

(and on the rare occasions when I do, I don't go into it expecting much more than a nice dinner and maybe a hookup before they move on to the next shiny thing)

pretty much but then again, it's not like folks in jersey aren't the same way either. it's the same thing though. most guys want to rush things for some reason as if there is no tomorrow.

 

[frankfrank]

This will sound very tinfoil hat of me, but I would be totally unsurprised if very powerful people are threatening to end the lives of people like Obama and Reid if they were to enact any truly meaningful reforms that could curb the power of Wall Street.

Not tinfoil-hat at all.

I've been convinced all along that, anytime [insert name here] proposes something that would really rattle some big interests' cages, I picture somebody whispering in his ear, softly "Just remember...JFK" or something.

 

[ElmosToe]

must vent...

The job is getting to me, making pennies as a temp is not cutting it.
The people I work for are clueless, incompetent idiots who do not know how to manage projects or people.

The audacity that place has to split us up into two groups, allowing one group to work overtime and not allowing the other group overtime...BULLSHIT. What's worse, the group they allow overtime has no work to do...the work they have, they are told by the management to work slow and take their time....and then they stay late to work overtime...working slow...WHY!???? Meanwhile the group that is overwhelmed with work, the people who do the leg work, the real work...has way too much shit to do, not enough time to do it in and we're told we don't get to work overtime. You just somehow have to figure out how to do the work of 5 people in eight hours. Oh, and all this has to be done by cob on Friday (tomorrow). Nice bomb there boss. You tell us at 3pm today we have a weeks worth of work to complete by 5pm tomorrow and we're not allowed to work overtime. Please share whatever the fuck it is you're smoking because it is apparently some really good shit.

WTF!!!

I scroll over those posts as quickly as possible. No harm, no foul.

I find it odd that some of my classmates that never really talked to me in class actually keeps trying to or want to talk to me when I am in practice or skating the rink. Do I look more friendly or approachable outside of class? Lol I think I have the bitch frown when I am in front of the pc lol.

 

[refujiunderground]

i cannot wait til the day i get off this motherfucking zoloft. it's KILLING my masturbation fun.

 

[jdcnow]

It absolutely pisses me off when people call or write in to a TV station to complain about the station breaking into regular programming for major breaking news or severe weather in the area.

Such was the case yesterday.

All the news stations - both English and Spanish - in Dallas interrupted and preempted late morning shows to cover a bus wreck on one of the freeways here. There were two deaths.

Well, leave it to the peanut gallery. One woman email one of the stations, complaining that the coverage cancelled all of yesterday's Wendy Williams.

Lady, people died on that bus, and you're worried about a damn show?

They don't want to be shot down in front of everyone in class, so they're flirting outside of class.

1st.. JD, I agree with both the bitch and you.
2nd.. She was watching Wendy Williams..a highly instructive and CRITCAL information/learning program (that in itself speaks volumes)
3rd.. It pisses me off when a 1 minute breaking news byte becomes a 30-45-60 minute BS session. Do I really care that the bus
was green or that the grandchildren of a passerby would have been devastated to see the wreck or that Tom Jones (Local News Hero and panties warmer to the home crowd) would be there in twenty three minutes to ask such insightful question as why the bus was green or the garage may have used discount priced oil at the last lube/oil/filter?
4. Major Breaking news...key word, breaking...WX, gust up to 70 miles an hour for the next 6 hours is insightful..1 hour dissertations
into the reason we have winds are not appropriate.

The media has truly taken the 'Major Break in News to new heights of pure bull shit fluff. JMHO

My uncle sent me this - I thought it was very profound.



Food For Thought
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally ...you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If the only school curriculum allowed to explain how we got here is evolution, but the government stops a $15 million construction project to keep a rare spider from evolving to extinction ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor or check out a library book, but not to vote who runs the government ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.


If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher’s "cute," but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If children are forcibly removed from parents who discipline them with spankings while children of addicts are left in filth and drug infested “homes”... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.


If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing and free cell phones ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If the government's plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and no requirement to prove they applied but can’t find work ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more "safe" according to the government ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If you are offended by this article, I'll bet you voted for the idiots
who are running, and ruining our great country.

Borgie old buddy,

It may be that I am growing old and weary but I so agree with the sentiment of the 'oldish'
piece your relative sent you.

I have sadly drawn the conclusion that the VILLAGE IDIOTS are now in complete
control. You need to put this in CE&P and watch the responses.

thx man.

 

[borg69unimatrix]

You're more then welcome to, Dear Lefty -

I have stated a couple of times that I have poked my head in there, and after seeing the blood and guts flying everywhere, I backed out slowly and changed my shorts, knowing those gates of hell were no place for me to enter.

The farthest reaches of time and space cannot compare to the evil and mayhem that happens in CE&P.
