Polls / pet friendly colleges

For instance, at one time I had found, by word of mouth, a two bedroom apartment for $450, where two couples lived, me and my girlfriend and her friend and boyfriend.  That's $112.50 a month for rent!  Enough for lots of beer and parties.  Extreme example but still.  We were very low drama, which is the only way.....for sure.

$450 for a 2 bedroom apt?! where the hell do you live?!  $450 wont even be close to cover half the rent in a ghetto place over here. damn.

Completely Off-Topic / School dress codes

i went to a private high school and my uniform wasn't even as strict as that dress code. ours were kind of cute actually... like from the "baby one more time" video. and it was all girls, so they didn't care that our skirts barely covered out butts.

i would complain until they changed it.

short chick? Tylor I thought she was tall! But very very beautiful. I could listen to her talk about any thing all day with a stupid smile on my face.  :oops:

me too hahaha  :lol:

I don't know, how tall is she?  5'4"?  That was my impression.  I'm 5'11", not that tall, but tall enough to think so I guess.  Maybe she is 5'6".....

she looks really short to me... i'm 5'10 ish, i'd say she's about 5'4"

Completely Off-Topic / how do you....

« on: August 06, 2007, 06:04:06 pm »

brush your teeth! after your teeth feel all minty and clean you wont want to eat anything! chewing gum also does the same... or distract yourself! or i just look at a part of my body im not happy with and imagine fat adding on to it and that usually grosses me out enough to not want to eat it hah.

Completely Off-Topic / Vegan or Vegetarian?

« on: August 01, 2007, 11:37:14 pm »

Hey Jessica, can you tell us what a vegetarian diet in your family was like?  I'm very curious.  Did you guys have certain concerns or ideas on how you would receive the nutrition you needed?  And how did you get around those.  Not that you were really really worried, I'm just wondering what the make up of the diet was.  Even for people who eat meat the information could be useful and interesting.  There are probably variations from vegetarian to vegetarian, so the more perspective we can get the better.

it wasn't strictly vegetarian, we still some meat such as chicken, but we mostly tried to make foods that we all could eat... and over time we just ate less and less meat. theres lots of meals you can make without meat... eggplant parmesan is delicious, fresh buffalo mozarella salads with basil leaves, olive oil and tomatoes, spinach quiche, asian style stir fry tofu, vegetable sushi & tempura, bean tostadas, cheese and onion empanadas, grilled vegetable sandwiches, theres tons of options!

i've heard soy isn't all that great for you. there are some pros and cons but studies show that certain amounts of soy in your diet can lead to some types of health issues. milk grosses me out (its not even good for you), or the taste of soy milk, but i dont like eating cereal dry so i usually go for rice milk.

my sister has been a vegetarian since she was 16 (shes 27 now) and since then my family hasnt been eating as much meat. i didnt start eating red meat again until i was 18 or so but im still not a big fan of it. i get grossed out eating any animal really easily so i kind of have to lie to myself and distract myself when eating chicken or turkey or something. i love cheese (fresh buffalo mozzarella) and grilled veggies, avocado, beans.... garden burgers, morningstar chick patties, theres lots of meat-less options. even at in n out... their veggies burgers are sooo good and you cant even really taste the difference.

Polls / What is your internet speed?

« on: July 23, 2007, 02:04:31 pm »

HELP!

ok, so i called time warner to find out why my internet is so slow.. and it said that that speed is normal for the package we have... which is ridiculous because they said we were getting the fastest available when we signed up.
so i'm looking at other options, but i'm confused since i dont know the equivalents between kbps, M, or MB.

i'm looking up AT&T and it said their fastest available DSL is

 IP Address:  1 Dynamic
Downstream Speed: Up to 6.0 Mbps
Upstream Speed: Up to 768 Kbps

at 34.99 a month.

is DSL wireless? (we have 3 apple laptops and a desktop PC)
and what is the difference between DSL and cable broadband??
