You should help me with my investments.  I was thinking about starting up with Euro Pacific Capital.  I know you love Peter Schiff so I'm guessing you have at least looked at this before?  Do you know anything about it?

Yeah, my parents are starting up an account there.  You do need at least 25k though.  What else would you like to know?

Yeah that does sound a little off that she would die of an aspartame overdose.  But I guess it's possible.  I could see it being more that she severely dehydrated herself and caused a shift in her electrolytes which can lead to cardiac dysrhythmia.  Especially if your potassium balance gets thrown off.  So if she really was drinking just insane amounts of diet coke, I can sort of see how that might cause an electrolyte imbalance.
But shit, who knows?  Maybe she really did OD on aspartame.  Theres a lot of money in the diet cola industry and they might just want to keep shit like that on the DL.  Plus everybody reacts differently to things.  We all have our own chemistry and genetic make up.  She might have just been REALLY sensitive to artificial sweeteners.

i bite my nails for pure enjoyment. the thing is when i stop i start to bite the skin around the nails and end up with bloody scabs that hurt like hell. i've been doing it since i was a kid. i thought i simply did it because of anxiety but it's a mixture of a lot of feelings. i stopped biting today. i was watching tv and next thing i realised i had the taste of blood in my mouth. i had bitten into the skin on a finger so hard and hadn't noticed. this is going to be very difficult.

But yeah, holy shit dude.  Thats pretty  bad.  You should try dipping your fingers in shit that taste really nasty or wear gloves around the house or something.  I know that sounds really dorky but it might help.  Maybe just use an abnormal amount of hand sanitizer and your fingers should probably taste pretty gross

my mum always wanted to put chilli on the tips of my nails since i started biting when i was a lot younger but she always thought that she would fuck me up. little did she know hahaha.

i haven't bitten my nails in a few days and i've been using nail polish so they look really nice. it always starts off like this then i start biting them again. i want to know what it feels like to scratch an itch with nails as opposed to just pressing down on the itch with my skin.

Gay.  I just noticed this post.  I do have some money saved up.  But not 25K to just invest.  I should have figured when their min for gold investment was 10K.

Well like most noobs to college I don't exactly know 100% for sure.  But currently my end goal is med school.  Although I'm taking a serious look at law school because I think it fits my personality very well. 

But currently the plan is to move back to New Mexico and get a job in one of the local Emergency Rooms there like I had before I joined the Navy.  The post 911 G.I. Bill pays 100% tuition plus a monthly housing allowance that will more than cover rent and bills and all that.  So I'm pretty set as far as all that goes. 

I might also move to Texas to go to school because I have friends and family there too.  I recently visited the campus of TCU and really liked it.  I also found out that the guy/girl ratio is literally 59/41% so thats a pretty big upside too.

Come to MN, yo!  It's only sort of cold and our new governor is only sort of socialist.  Then we can work on our book: "A College Kid's Guide to Libertarianism"
