Plastic Blood?

by kwr in

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/north_yorkshire/6645923.stm.

scientists have developed an artificial plastic blood which could act as a substitute in emergencies.

This plastic blood has not gone through human trials. We do not know if it works, or has side effects.

I hope for all, that it does work.

they just cost money and eventually rust away.. however, given that it's pretty difficult to do anything without one in north america and that we now need another because angharad got a job (yay), does anyone have any good suggestions?.

Also, try the Audi A4 or A6. Had 2 A4's, both were great cars. Solid, no problem vehicles. Handled great, fun to drive, and no maintenance cost other than tires. The dealership did the oil changes/tune ups on them, and gave me a free loaner for the day!

Resale value should be part of your equation. Honda, Honda, Honda on resale.

Are you part of an auto buying club? Try Costco Warehouse. I looked at a Honda Odysey (minivan). The Touring (top of the line) with leather, navigation, back up camera, sensors all around, dvd, etc. had a sticker of a little over $40,000. According to Kelly Blue Book, most people are buying this car new at $38,000. The Costco price is $35,500. According to www.kbb.com (kelly blue book), this car sells for $36,000 used, between private parties! The Ex-L version did not have as great of a mark-down, but it was still good. Best thing - no hassles with the dealer. I was impressed with the Costco discount. Hondas don't normally get discounted much.

My old 4wd Jeep Cherokee V8 has over 150,000 miles on it. No problems.

I never owned a Subaru - but they are supposed to be good running, great in snow vehicles.

I test drove a Mazda 5 (or 6?) (the new ultra-mini van/conversion car). Great price and good pep at the lower speeds. Started making noise & vibrations after 50 mph. It was too small. Built for people who are under 5'6. While it sits 6 people, the third row was inches from the back bumper. There are no airbags on the rear. Plus, the third row did not have any leg room. This was even more evident when you place a car seat in the second row. Plus, the front row had to be pushed too far forward to put a car seat in the second row. I would not put my family in that car.

JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AND JADE JEWELRY

by HappyDad in

i had to listen to jw craziness starting in 1960 when my mother started studying.

recently, i was reading paul and pat blizard's website and came across "101 strange beliefs and practices of jehovah's witnesses".

granted.......some of these beliefs have gone by the wayside because of bud light.... i mean new light!

skeeter1

I remember this. Yep, it's true. My mother would not wear Jade.

Have you ever had a really bad haircut? (rant)

went to a salon today with picture in hand.

i spent 2/1/2 hours suffering in the chair, (foiling and cut).

i wound up with about 6 to 7 inches lopped off and came out looking like a big haired, bubble headed 80's special.

skeeter1

Oh yes, have I ever. It was a mullet with a perm in the very back part. It was the early 90's, and those cuts were popular.

Should have shaved my head. Instead, I lived with it for 9 months.

$50 million!!!

With 6,000,000 Jdubs = $8.33 a person. Perhaps there will be a new announcement, asking for money to purchase insurance for the overseers?

ALERT: All Child Abuse Lawsuits have been settled. Millions cashed out???

by What-A-Coincidence in

re: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/8/116108/1.ashx.

a bethel insider in the know told me that all of the child abuse lawsuits where the watchtower bible and tract society was one of the defendants were settled back in the beginning of this year.

i questioned it and called napa myself and they were absolutely settled back then.
