I am so proud of her! She's 13 or 15 now I can't remember which. I still try to pick her up every time I see her LOL. She's the one singing. The song doesn't really get good until halfway through, partly, I think, because the audience wont shut up

A public service announcement

If they can turn donkey piss into vodka, they'd better be able to prove it. And if they can prove it, they're my new best friend. -
Agreed! I hope you find those images! This would make for a very interesting article as well.
-
That is a great idea. I don't know much on the subject (other than that men were said to wear cleopatra-like eye makeup on occasion). We should start another thread on that.
-
I thought that would be what the stamps were used for but I wasn't sure. Morphine eye salve...what was that supposed to be used for? I'd think through the eye would be a good way to get stoned quickly, but other than that... As for all the eye products for sale today, well, I think that modern pollution as well as the makeup worn by most females (myself included) is a big part of the "dry eye" issues. Same problems, different cause.
-
Conjunctivitis is "pink eye" right? Something I was fortunate never to get, but which I hear is extremely uncomfortable. How were the "stamps" used? I'm as guilty as the next guy of using Visene, simply because my eyes dry out overnight and I can't open them in the morning (at least in winter).
-
Why were they so desired in the ancient world? Was it the same reason Visene is popular today (simple dry eyes) or was there some other reason? (a common eye ailment for instance? or a "quack cure all"?) and how was it used? (I know eyedrops are pretty easy, but I can't imagine it would be easy trying to use an actual salve in your eye.)

The food at my prom was aweful LOL. The green beans smelled and tasted like a chemical plant exploded.
-
So were different honeys from different places used in different ways medicinally? All that is commonly available in the US is clover honey...
-
**interjecting a completely new topic here** Is there any record of Romans using honey infused with other things (herbs and the like)? Or did they simply use the honey "straight"?
-
LMFAO!!!! Cruel, but hilarious.
-
who is Solon of Athens? I thought it sounded extremely more modern than someone who lived thousands of years ago lol.

Accepted into Binghamton University. Yes!!!

Congrats! I hope you enjoy it. -
Awesome! Are those your "ten commandments" or are they quoted from somewhere?
-
Well, to reach someone's achilles tendon (which is in the back of the ankle) you would have to be able to reach their foot. That would mean, either you have a long sword (which Romans didn't) or you stoop/bend over (bad idea usually) OR they have their foot somehow within your reach. Now, if you mean cutting the tendons in the back of the knees *that* makes a bit more sense. Far easier to reach, every bit as debilitating (if not more so). I suspect this is the case as I can see absolutely no connection between the ankle and the term "hamstring" (which, I believe, is actually a muscle going up the back of the thigh).
-
I actually have no issue with Satanists unless they happen to be of the baby-murdering cult variety. I've met a few self-proclaimed Satanists who are genuinely nice people. My view on religion is that if your beliefs are not hurting anyone, there is absolutely no reason why you should not believe as you choose. I really don't care what the guy down the street believes, unless he believes something that is somehow harmful to myself or others, and is acting on that belief.
-
Ouch!! :: does a funny little dance:: That's gotta hurt!! I thought that would be rather difficult considering it would require bending or squatting low in order to pull it off, leaving your back/top of your head vulnerable to the Celts' slashing/crushing weapons.
-
Because I do not believe that my morals in any way do, or should, apply to everyone. I'm not God, any more than anyone else who may try to impose morals on someone and therefor have no right to do so. What I'm trying to say is about following your own moral standard/code of honor/code of ethics, whatever that may be within whatever religious framework you happen to work.
-
What do you mean by "hamstring"?

Greeks Give Zeus and Extreme Makeover

LOL!!! Yea...I don't know what that guy was thinking...but ok. I do think that he has the wrong god though. -
-
This was, of course, intended as satire. It's absolutely wonderful Zeus the Eco-Pacifist
-
The answer is simple: I don't believe in a set of morals that everyone must follow. My "commandments" are about following your own moral standard, whatever it may be, to the best of your ability. Also, yes, I believe that morals are "particular to a specific case" alot of the time. Some things just aren't plausible all of the time. I'm a realist; I know that something that looks good on paper very rarely works out as planned.

I was definitely not trying to draw parallels to the bible I think I took the person's challenge a little too seriously.
-
I'm certainly not guilty of murder if that's what you're thinking But yes, I have taken the lives of animals who were too badly injured to survive with any semblence of a happy and healthy life, and I have seen it done by others as well. Also, I grew up in a family of hunters, so I am well aware of the proccess of killing and eating your own food. I do hope I never have to take the life of a human being but I am aware of instances (such as self defense) in which I am not directly opposed to the idea.
