    HOLY SUNBURN

    I got a bad TX sunburn recently. It peeled twice or two thick layers. Coconut oil helped a lot. I tried peeling it off too soon and it split into bloody cracks. Three doses of coconut oil and it was much better. Keep it clean!

    Tell me the worst/creepiest/awful rides you've gotten!

    My mom thinks she and her friend were picked up by the zodiac killer, way back when. They had to punch him repeatedly, do something with a screwdriver, and jump out of the moving car because he wouldn't let them go. My first ever hitch was with a guy who had several machetes in the back of his...

    Adjusting to housie life?

    Do you get any free time away from your baby? A few hours even is really helpful. I get stressed when it is just my son and I without any adult conversation. Less patience and easily annoyed. Do you go out with other mom's? My son is 9 and I want to escape/leave at some point at least weekly. I...

    RIP Shannon Larratt (Founder of BME)

    Damn. The world will never be the same after Shannon... It's a much more colorful place filled with shiney bits of metal and beautiful artwork and for that I am thankful. BME was my home in 1998. I haven't visited in a few years but used to read his blog until the last year. I remember the...

    anyone ever eaten alot of lsd?

    Lol. Funny shit. :b I knew a guy who was diagnosed schizophrenic after acid and he got/gets SSI. He thought altoids and soda were different forms of drugs and the strength/purity level was determined by the package size, brand, and flavor.

    anyone ever eaten alot of lsd?

    I think even small amounts change you permanently. Shrooms changed me more, but I did a decent amount of those ages ago. Hippy-flipping one time at a camp rave I found a vial of breath freshener on the ground. I didn't know anything about acid at the time. I was all excited and showed my...

    Would anything from FDR and any of the New Deal programs have any information you are looking for? He started a lot of the welfare programs, HUD. I think they started around 1933.

    treating ring worm with tea tree oil

    It could also be a virus called Pityriasis rosea. A mild case of it is easily confused with ring worm. It lasts 3 weeks to 6 months with no cure. Sun/uv rays helps clear it faster or it magically goes away one day. Check it out if nothing seems to completely cure you up completely.

    How many of you travel with food stamps?

    I applied once. I got denied, they said my car was worth to much money and I should sell it. I said come look at my car. It didn't even have a HOOD over the engine, the fender was all smashed in, a light was covered with red tape. I had to look for plywood whenever it rained to cover my engine...

    Branden Valentine and the Materialized Cigarette

    Aww... I'm so sorry that happened to you. Glad you were able to get away. Watch out for old antibiotics they can mess you up if they are expired. Most medications just get weaker but some types of antibiotics get toxic. What a bastard he was!

    treating ring worm with tea tree oil

    Tea tree oil in concentrate is poisonous to dogs and cats. A tiny bit diluted might be okay to dogs but several websites say not to use it at all, it can cause death, paralysis, and other fun stuff. Fyi.. I made the mistake of putting diluted tea tree in my dogs ear before I knew that it was...

    PLEASE give me one good reason to stay in school.

    Have you paid that money already? Did you take out student loans? Did your parents work a shit job to pay for your tuition? If you said yes, stay and finish the semester and reevaluate your next move over the summer. I went to school and it was horrible, it took me a year to recover mentally...

    Careful with those... Or at least combo's you aren't familiar with alone before combining.

She laid...

    Teen Challenge...rehab houses

    BryanPaul, ask for a thiamine shot if they don't give them to you. It's 1 shot for 3 days usually. I used to be a detox nurse. My boss used to act like the shots cost her money and they helped a lot imo. Good luck.

    money

    You need to help yourself during the day or continue starving. You can get a plastic container rounded up to store some food for the am. Dumpster one. You are finding excuses not to help yourself, that's harder than helping yourself.

    Question regarding writing letters on the road

    I need something like this! I just did a search for mail forwarding and myrvmail.com looks pretty cool. It gives you a physical address in Florida for benefits. It's $9/month but looks like it has some great benefits for travelers.

    I worked in a drug detox as a nurse, and a few other health-care jobs, pretty much the same thing as a psych ward most days. It wouldn't be a fun place to be locked up for any length of time, interesting until bedtime for one day, maybe. Food is generally crap, boring all around; you can...

    Ethiopian food... That's the only thing that I like about Dallas. Dallul is a good place actually it's Eritrean food but close enough, ghetto looking building.
