    try Banner ads(Like /. did).
    The more traffic you get the more money you make, and because you are already on /. traffic is not going to be much of a problem.

    BTW: I think these things sound way cool.
    If I post a link to your page on mine will you send me one?

    The effects with the eyes were good and the worm was nice but the settings sucked. When they were in the desert you could clearly see were the set ended and the dropcloth background started. It was the same in the castle. That and many of the events I was hoping to see were completely removed.

    uuh... yeah.

    1. Don't give your friends your email.

    2. Get a new e-mail address and repeat 1.

    3. install filters in your e-mail client

    4. Or you could try something like what Mr. Huntley did.


    I had a simillar problem but it was the same people over and over. eventually after many many e-mails begging them to stop they did. Though I doubt asking will work for you at this point.

  8. I've seem similar on Spam Ordeal · · Score: 2
    Take a web page and post your e-mail with a disclamer saying something like "Any person(s) who send(s) unsolicited commercial e-mail [spam] to this address will be subject to a fine of X dollars" where X is the smallest dollar ammount allowed in small claims court in your area.
    As long as that is the only place your e-mail is published it should work.
    I've heard of people getting $300 or $400 after spending an hour in court.

    When they say in some schools that up to 40% of the children use Ritalin they don't take into account that many parents try and get there kids on it so that they can take the drug themselves and get a buz.

    The fix for this was a drug called Dexadrin or some thing like that. Thats what I was using my first and second years of high school. The advantage is that Dexadrin does not have to be taken twice a day. Just once in the and your all set. And you can't get a buz off of it.

  18. Re:Useful for trauma, not for illness on Blood Type: NULL · · Score: 1

    But on the long term scale if someone's blood loss was great enough that 3/4 or more of the fluid in there body was Oxygent then wouldn't there be issues later when the body needs more nutrients(sp?)?
    I don't know how long it would take for this to happen. Can the body generate blood fast enough to prevent this??
    Or could the nutrient content that should have been in the blood be replaced with an IV?

    Oxygent carries *only* oxygen. It is intended for short term use only. If you were dependant on this stuff for a long spance of time your cells would starve to death and turn necrotic.
