Thursday, 18 March 2004 - thoughts & projects

Good morning...Finally got the builder to come out and take a look at the house..maybe now they'll start making the repairs, though I'm not going to hold my breath or anything. Oldest dd has come down with the crud, which sucks for her, as it is spring break, and now she is stuck in the house for the most part, while all her friends are getting to hang out together. Plenty to do around the house today: weed-eating, cleaning, organizing my yarn stash and getting busy on the hat exchange pieces, as well as my piece for the round robin I'm coordinating on the freeform list I belong to. Have one of the hat exchange pieces mailed off finally, and still have four or five more to make. Gonna try to get them done this week, in between working on the round robin piece. Supposed to be another beautiful day, with the temp up in the high sixties or low seventies...will make the yard work enjoyable, at least...well, as enjoyable as it can be.
My fiber journey is an odd one, as I tried to learn to crochet and knit when I was a kid, then taught myself when I had a kid...lol. Have since delved into trying many different styles, then got tired of following patterns, as it was always the same, over and over...then I discovered freeform, and I love it. It's renewed my love for crochet, and in the process, I have taught myself how to knit, as well. Nowhere near as good at knitting as I am at crochet, but good enough that I can add knit to my freeform work and have it look nice, and give it a little something different that I wouldn't have had without the knit. Jeepers, so much yarn, so little time...lol.
Hope everyone has a great day!

Do you still say the same thing now?!

BTW, can anyone please / does anyone want to help me fight illegal online pharmacies?

A short while ago, the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) ruled that online pharmacies that provide so called "online doctor consultations / prescriptions" were illegal. I did not know, and ordered some medications from www.phentermine-gs.com. I now know why they are illegal (the owner I believe is an Iraqi Bath Party fund raiser, and they took my money only to fail to ship my medications, they said the physician declined me, and then it took a whole week to get my money back, they say it takes my bank that long to show refunds - I do not believe them!).

Anyway, they sell all manner of drugs which I believe they should not, for example (check this out) Diet Pills - I mean, what happens if a 12 year old girl with some desire to become a waif model and using her mom's credit card orders these pills? Because the doctor does not see the patient, I am sure it happens. What amazes me further that many of the slimming pills they sell are controlled drugs! For example, Phentermine AKA Adipex and Ionamin. Also other classified appetite suppressants such as Meridia, Bontril and Tenuate! But the worst of these obesity medications is Didrex, which I understand is a class 4 drug!!!! OK, one of their weight loss pills Xenical is a fat blocker, not an appetite suppressant. But just imagine it getting into the hands of someone with anorexic tendencies!

But they do not just sell diet pills, oh no! They also sell things like Viagra male impotence pills from Pfizer. I saw a report the other day linking Viagra to making men unable to have babies (or contribute to having babies). So I think a real doctor with the patient in front of them needs to prescribe such drugs, and only a real doctor! I mean, I heard that drugs like Zyban smoking cessation tablets and Propecia male pattern baldness pills have several nasty side effects. And Ultram pain relief capsules can be very dangerous in the wrong hands. Also, what women in her right mind would want to order Ortho Tri-Cyclen Birth Control Pills from a medical web site?!

Even the skin creams they sell maybe harmful. I mean, you know how much pressure on teenagers there are these days. How many of them would love to get their hands on some Retin-A acne remover, Vaniqa facial hair remover and / or Renova skin wrinkle remover?

Do you see what I mean, it is wrong yes? Pease help me stop this illegal RX meds site and file a complaint against them with the DEA!
