Angry TV Buyer

Original ad:
i want a flatscreen tv. at least 40 inches and under $500. hit me up if you got what i want
From Me to ***********@**********.org:

Hey,

I am selling my 42" Westinghouse plasma TV for $400. It is in excellent condition. I'm just selling it because I got a bigger one and don't need this one anymore. Let me know if you are interested.

Mike

From jim ****** to Me:

yeah man thats perfect. ill buy that as soon as possible. would you be able to bring it to my house? i dont have a car. im home pretty much all day every day

you can call me if you want 610-***-****

From me to jim ******:

No problem, Jim. I could bring it by tomorrow after work. Are you sure you want to buy it though? I don't want to bring it there and have you decide you don't want to buy it.

Mike

From jim ****** to Me:

no i definitely want it. just bring it over man

my address is 415 ********* rd, ******, PA
just call me if you have any trouble

From me to jim ******:

Okay, I'll be over tomorrow.

From me to jim ******:

Jim,

I'm very sorry I was unable to make it to your house today. I had the TV loaded in the back of my pickup truck, and I was all set to go to your house. I just decided to make a quick stop in Chester to buy some stuff from a friend, and when I got back to my truck, the TV was gone. I can't figure out what the hell happened to it. I'm thinking maybe I hit a bump and it slid out of the truck, because I do forget to close my tailgate sometimes. I don't really remember if it was in the truck when I parked it, so I am baffled.

Anyway, this is totally my fault. Seeing as how I promised you a TV and lost it, I am going to help you out. I signed you up for a 2 year subscription to Plasma TV Enthusiasts Weekly. It is an excellent magazine that will give you a lot of information on plasma TVs to help you make the right decision when buying one. It is normally $84.99 a year, but I hooked you up with my referrer discount so it will only cost you $63.50 a year. I had it sent and billed to the address you gave me, and you should get your first one in a week or two.

Once again, I am very sorry that I lost the TV that I was going to sell you, but hopefully this magazine can help you out.

Mike

From jim ****** to Me:

are you out of your fuckin mind i dont want any fuckin magazines!!! what the fuck.. you better fuckin cancel that shit. what the fuck were you thinking dude, im not paying for that you fuckin dumbass

From jim ****** to Me:

and its obvious YOUR TV WAS STOLEN YOU FUCKIN RETARD. why the FUCK would you leave a tv in the back of your truck in chester?

cancel the fuckin magazines..NOW.

From me to jim ******:

Jim,

Why do you want me to cancel the magazines? It is a great magazine and I got you a great deal for it. You won't find it cheaper anywhere else. Also, to put it frankly, if you were going to buy a Westinghouse plasma TV from me without even looking at it, then it is clear you still have a lot to learn about plasma TVs. Reading this magazine will make you an expert in no time.

Mike

From jim ****** to Me:

you fuckin asshole i dont want to pay for some stupid magazine! i just want a goddamn tv. who the fuck would want to read a fuckin weekly magazine about tvs?! cancel it right now. im serious

From me to jim ******:

Jim,

I'm sorry you feel that way about the magazine. I was just trying to help. Unfortunately I cannot cancel the magazine. When I signed you up on the phone, they gave me a confirmation number I could use to cancel the subscription. I couldn't find a piece of paper to write it on, so I wrote the number on a napkin. I think I accidentally used the napkin to wipe my face after eating wings last night, and then threw it out. I'd look through the trash to find it for you, but the garbage truck already picked it up this morning. I think they take it to the dump/recycling center in Media if you want to go look for it. It was a napkin from Taco Bell, if that helps. I usually get all my napkins there.

If you think it would be easier, you could just cancel it once you get your first magazine in the mail. You'll probably be billed for the first month, plus a $75 cancellation fee because I didn't sign you up for cancellation insurance. I just assumed you would want to keep the magazine.

Mike

From jim ****** to Me:

i cant believe i just read all that shit because i should have known from the first few lines that you were a fuckin idiot

i dont care if you have to blow the fuckin editor, you better find a way to get it cancelled because i am not spending a goddamn nickel on that magazine!

From me to jim ******:

Jim,

If you don't pay for it, that may screw up your credit. I remember one time I forgot to pay my TV guide subscription for about 14 months, and that really messed up my credit. I had trouble buying a house because of that. You should be careful.

Since you seem to not know a lot about the importance of your credit, I signed you up for a year subscription of In Debt Weekly, a great magazine that can teach you a lot about credit. Don't worry, I got you the same discount as before, and this magazine is actually a little bit cheaper. It is only $34.99 a year. It came with a discounted subscription to Card Times, another magazine about credit cards. That one is only $25 per year, so I signed you up for that as well. It is a decent magazine for the price.

Mike

From jim ****** to Me:

GL4KJHSGSKFKJS YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE STOP SIGNING ME UP FOR FUCKING MAGAZINES!!!!

CANCEL THOSE RIGHT NOW MOTHERFUCKER!!!!

From me to jim ******:

Jim,

There is no need for that kind of language. Please do not talk to me anymore.

Unless you would be interested in a subscription to Anger Management Journal. I can sign you up for that if you want to learn how to control your temper.

Mike

From jim ****** to Me:

FUCK YOU

So touched...




Look your eyes and tell you what I want...
Trust me...never let you wipe your tears...
Cause you will not have tears with me...


If someone says these to me one day, definitely I must just get melted at once or probably the anorexia would come to me again.





I wanna try this eyeliner!! ( To tell the truth, I was searching the ' tears ' pictures for blogging and I found this picture and thought maybe I can learn how to draw like it. hehe )

Down down down

I am down tonight, pretty down...

I will never be down while friend around but always be down while alone.

I was thinking about to go out tomorrow, but I have no idea who can I ask to be with. Then I decided to stay in room whole day.


I tried to talk to others on internet, and thought that'd make me feel better a bit, obviously that didn't work.

They asked why I am sad, and I answered, then I became more sad...

I am lazy and tired. The tiredness is not from body but my mind.

Just... tired...

The Urban Jungle Workout

This workout, designed by Urban Jungle, a bootcamp program based in New York City, can be done anywhere -- at home, at the park or in a hotel room. By using your own body weight as resistance and allowing only 30 seconds of rest between each exercise, you'll get your heart rate up and tone your body all in 30 minutes. You could even squeeze it in while the kids are taking a nap.
For best results, perform this routine three times a week for three weeks, making sure to increase intensity (the number of reps in each one-minute timeframe) each week. Two days a week, you will need to put in 30 minutes of cardio or yoga. After a couple of weeks, you should start feeling stronger, have more energy and notice your clothes feeling looser.



HOW IT WORKS

Here's an overview of the 30-minute routine, and click ahead for descriptions of each exercise.
1. Warm up for eight minutes. You can do whatever you like to get your heart rate up. Do some jumping jacks, jog in place or dance to your favorite song.
2. Do one minute of jungle squats. (Lower body)
3. Do one minute of push ups. (Upper body)
4. Do one minute of reverse V lunges. (Lower body)
5. Do one minute of modified chair dips. (Upper body)
6. Do two minutes of cardio. (Whole body)
7. Do one minute of abs exercises. (Whole body)
8. Take a 30 second break.
Repeat steps 2 through 8, three times.



JUNGLE SQUAT: TONE YOUR THIGHES AND BUTT

What you're working: Quads, glutes, hamstrings and calves, while your core muscles keep you stable with correct form.
How to do it: Start out in a basic squat position, making sure your knees are not extending beyond your toes and with weight distributed evenly on your heels. Pivot to the right 90 degrees on left foot while maintaining the squat position. Pivot back to starting point, staying in squat position and then pivot to the left 90 degrees on right foot. Pivot back to starting point and come out of squat position. While standing up, do not lock your knees. This is one Jungle Squat; repeat for one minute.
Tip: Be sure to keep core engaged and back straight the whole time.



PUSH UP: TONE YOUR ARMS

What you’re working: Pectorals, deltoids, triceps and traps, while core keeps you stable with correct form.
How to do it: This is a modified pushup, but you can’t cheat and use your knees! Try it on the floor first, starting in plank position and lowering yourself down. Be sure to keep the lower body in alignment with upper body, being careful not to arch your back either way. Lower your body to about fist height off floor and then push yourself back up to plank position. Quality over quantity is the name of this game. Continue for one minute.
Tip: For a modification, do an elevated push up using either a chair, bed, bench, bar or other object that will hold your weight and not cause you to fall. Use the same form you would use on the floor, maintaining that good body position.





REVERSE V LUNGES: SCULPT YOUR LEGS

What you’re working: Quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves, while your core helps keep you balance.
How to do it: Starting from the standing position, lunge backward at a 45-degree angle to the right, making sure your left knee does not extend over your foot. Explode from that lunge position back to the standing position. With only enough time to regain balance, lunge right back down, on the left side, going backward in another 45-degree angle. Explode back from lunge to standing postion to complete one repetition; repeat for one minute.
Tip: As you lunge, keep your eyes looking straight ahead and focus on keeping your core engaged to maintain balance.




MODIFIED CHAIR DIPS: TONE THOSE TRICEPS

What you’re working: Triceps, pectorals, rhomboids, deltoids, traps, lats and biceps.
How to do it: Firmly grip a chair, table or any firm object that will support your weight. Fingers should be facing your back and your knees should be bent with feet shoulder width apart and flat on the ground. Lower yourself until your arms are bent at 90-degree angle and then push yourself back till arms are straight again. Repeat for one minute.
Tip: To make this more difficult you can straighten your legs and even raise one leg at a time while you continue to dip.





CARDIO TIME: BURN SOME SERIOUS CALORIES

What you’re working: The whole body is engaged in this exercise.
How to do it: With feet shoulder-width apart, perform a squat, place hands on ground and thrust both legs back at the same time until you are in full plank position. While maintaining the plank position, move your hands and feet sideways at the same time for a count of three. From the plank position, perform six mountain climbers (in push up position, move your feet back and forth rapidly). Using your core, bring your legs back up to a squat position with feet shoulder-width apart and stand back up. This completes one repetition.
Tip: To modify you can step back to plank position and step back up at end of rotation. You can also remove the lateral movement if this is too difficult, however you eventually want to work your way up to include this in the exercise.




LATERAL JUMPS: GET THOSE QUADS BURNING

What you’re working: The whole body is engaged in this exercise.
How to do it: Starting from the standing position with feet a little wider than shoulder-width, squat down and touch the floor. Explode into a lateral jump moving to the right. As you jump, reach your hands above yourself. Land with legs apart and go right into the squat position again, squatting down and touching the floor. Explode back up jumping to the left and landing softly again. Repeat for two minutes.
Tip: To decrease intensity, replace the lateral jump with a lateral step. Also, if you cannot touch the floor without placing too much strain on your knees, simply go as deep as you can, reaching straight down with your arms.




INCH WORMS: GET KILLER ABS

What you’re working: Obliques, hip flexors and other muscles are engaged to maintain stabilization as you move through this exercise.
How to do it: Starting from plank position like you are going to do a pushup, walk your feet towards your hands in baby steps. Once you get to the point when you have to start bending your legs, start walking your hands forward in baby steps until you are back in the plank position. Repeat for one minute.
Tip: Go nice and slow. Controlled movements will keep your core engaged throughout and you’ll get a better burn. Also, keep your head in alignment with your back.

Cellulite 101


Are your thighs and hips plagued by bumpy, cottage-cheese style skin? You're not alone. Approximately 80 percent of women suffer from cellulite. So, what can you do about this unsightly condition?

What Is Cellulite?

Cellulite appears when the connective cords that tether your skin to muscle push against an area of fat cells. As the fat cells push out, the cords pull down creating an uneven surface on your skin. Cellulite can range from hard-to-see dimples to deeper ripples in your skin surface. It most often occurs on the hips, thighs, and backsides of women. Medically, it's completely harmless.

What Causes Cellulite?

Gaining even a small amount of weight can worsen the appearance of cellulite, but the primary culprit is genetics. Aging, less elastic skin is at greater risk for cellulite and studies have shown that stress, hormone changes, and inactivity can also be blamed. Despite the fact that cellulite is caused by expanding fat cells, remaining thin doesn't make you immune to the problem if you're genetically predisposed to it.







I found a blog and it really catches my eyes.

Female celebrities fighing (or not) with cellulite.
Not all uf us have been blessed with a firm tooshie, nice smooth legs and flat tummy. Even with long workouts and a balanced diet, expensive treatments and sauna, we just can`t get rid of the annoying cellulite. We can diminish it, of course, but it never completely fades away.

We look up to them, we pay a lot of money to see them but the celebrities also seem to have the same problem as us, mortals do. But given the amount some of them have, I would say theyare not ven trying to reduce the amount of cellulite invading their expensively insured bodies.

Here are 4 of the main ways to combat cellulite:

1. Exercises which target certain areas with cellulite help a great deal.

2. Eating a properly balanced diet is tremendously successful in clearing the toxins and fatty tissue from your body that result in cellulite.

3. Even massages and saunas have been proven to help since they aid in the elimination process, which clears fatty build up, and in turn clears cellulite.

4. Drinking more water also helps with elimination and cleansing your system from cellulite. So be sure to get your 6-8 glasses each and every day.

The Science Behind Beauty Sleep

You've heard that "beauty sleep" is important, but do you know why? Nanette B. Silverberg, MD, the director of Pediatric and Adolescent Dermatology at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, and Clinical professor of Dermatology at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, explains the science behind beauty sleep, and what restful slumber can do for your skin.
According to Silverberg, sleep is the state of altered psychomotor brain activity that helps your organs perform at their best-and that includes your skin. While you sleep, your nervous and vascular systems recharge themselves. In addition, sleep improves your immune function and supports collagen production and elastin retention.


If you've ever pulled an all-nighter for a college paper or because your little one wouldn't let you sleep, you know how blotchy and pale your skin can look the next morning. Silverberg says this is due to the excess blood vascular activity and abnormal nerve activity in the skin. You may also notice more pronounced facial lines because of increased muscle tone that is caused by prolonged activity (which is why you may look older than usual). When your skin doesn't have time to rejuvenate through the process of sleep, it becomes more vulnerable to skin illnesses, and the collagen and elastin break down.

Sun Square Saturn



Saturn is all about responsibility and learning useful and necessary, but sometimes hard life lessons. And right now, the Sun is shining a big, bright spotlight on this tough-love planet. Over time, this event will actually prove benevolent and will certainly work in your favor, if you do your part too. However, in the immediate future, Saturn has a lesson for you to learn and if you resist, things could get messy. The thing to remember is that Saturn reminds us to pull our heads out of the clouds, so we don't fall painfully into a dirty pothole later. Yes, you will likely face delays and setbacks now. You may even have to own up to a couple of mistakes. But at some point in the not-too-distant future, you'll look back on these events with gratitude.

With this understanding of how Saturn works, what are the next steps?

1) Stop whatever you're doing

2) Take a step back

3) Breathe

4) Look around until you can completely see the whole picture. Where do you see current or potential problems cropping up? Is it your job, your relationship, your finances? Maybe all you need is something as simple as a preventative check up for your health or your car?

5) Once everything is in view, determining what needs to be fixed and how to go about doing it should become apparent.

As soon as you address the issues Saturn is concerned about, you'll move forward with your life with more success and effectiveness.

To counter the severity of Saturn, the 7th will also see romantic, social Venus move into fiery Sagittarius. This is a great chance to grab friends and try some new activity (Rock climbing? Ballroom dancing? A new and exotic restaurant?). Or perhaps you'd rather throw some flamboyant party or get together. Regardless of what you decide to try, make sure you do something. You're practically guaranteed to have fun. You'll also find that it's more important than ever for your lover to be both passionate and to provide sufficient mental stimulation as well. The best relationships (romantic or otherwise) are always between best friends.
