myLot Discussions on Swiss Army 24043| WHY would You buy one of these?! | | http://www.firebox.com/product/1861/Wenger-Giant-Swiss-Army-Knife
Now I've seen everything in gadget shopping... A 9" wide Swiss Army Knife with over 80 blades.. A snip at (only![em]w00t[/em])£500 or $700...Who would buy one of these things? the small ones have their uses at times,but you couldn't carry this monster around in a presentation box..it has to be too unwieldy to be functional! Ever own a Swiss army knife,or one of the knock off copies? What do you think of this? | |
| | I've returned to a having a Mommy bag (purse) | | I rarely change handbags(purses) but mine felt heavy. So I dumped it out on my bed last night and realised that I had returned to having a Mommy Bag.Now a Mommy bag is always bulging and it is large. One of those bags that you see women frantically rummaging through whilst they look for keys etc. then they give a big sigh of relief and say, "I knew that they were in here somewhere'.My bag contained:
Candy
Wipes to clean sticky dirty hands
Bottle of Anti Histamine with several plastic spoons wraped in clear wrap
Band aids
Gentian violet (in case of cuts)
Kleenex
Keys - office and home
Hair clips
two small stuffed bears
4 diapers and a small pack of wipes
2 small packets of dried fruit
1 bottle of water
Toilet tissue - only one rollI tried to think positively about this and realised that I had improved from first time around. When my children were small my bag also contained a straw and a swiss army knife. I had read an article on it and was prepared to administer a tracheoctomy if needed. We lived so far awy from a hospital or doctor that I was always prepared.LOL What does your bag contain? Come on, I was truthful so tell me. | |
| | Man to live 300 days on an Island. Would you do the same? | | I just read an article about a man named Xavier Rosset who is to spend 300 days on an island in the South Pacific. The only thing he will be bringing with him is a Swiss army knife, machete, video camera, & a solar panel for charging the camera. His adventures will be filmed & the footage will then be used for a 32 minute documentary. Now honestly I am a modern day girl who enjoys all the comforts of home. I KNOW for a fact I couldn't do this for any amount of money in the world. It's a sad fact, but true nonetheless. What about you? Would you be able to spend 300 days on an island alone? | |
| | What perfume/cologne do you use? | | I have a collection of Victoria Secret's that's the only brand that I use for my daily use. I have lots of perfumes, coz I really love collecting perfumes since I was in high school. But my favorite of them all is Swiss Army. Love the scent.[em]wub[/em] Actually, it was a gift from my husband. I always use it whenever I go out. So, I wanna know what perfume/cologne do you use? Everyone's welcome to share. Happy myLotting to all.[em]happy[/em] | |
| | I Hate Moving | | I write a weekly column for my paper. I wanted to share this one with you. It's called: I Hate Moving.I hate moving.
I hate it with a passion.
I'd rather have teeth pulled sans Novocain than pack up all my stuff and move.
I hate moving because I have too much stuff.
I have too much stuff because I never throw anything away.
I never throw anything away because the moment I do I'll need it.
Actually it plays out that I'll need it two days after I throw it away and right after the garbage man has picked up trash or I've dumped wet coffee grounds on it.
So, not only do I not throw anything away, I don't put anything away either.
The same rule of reasoning applies: The minute I put something away I immediately need it, even though that same object might have sat untouched for six months prior to my putting it away. The minute I put it away I will need it.
There's a kicker: The minute I put something away it becomes forever lost.
It is never seen or heard from again.
They'll find Amelia Earhart and Jimmy Hoffa first.
I have things that have been lost since fourth grade simply because I put them away. I must have everything I own out in plain sight and within arm's... | |
| | Ok its official, this country has gone crazy. | | I found this article using stumble. This is one of the stupidest things ive ever heard of. Ugh I absolutely hate how this country is going.
http://infowars.com/articles/ps/busted_for_wearing_peace_tshirt.htm[b]this link is not for making money[/b]Ugh it pisses me off how this country is going. Busted for wearing a peace T-shirt; has this country gone completely insane?Mike Ferner| July 5 2006
Friday afternoon, drinking a cup of coffee while sitting in the Jesse Brown V.A. Medical Center on Chicago's south side, a Veterans Administration cop walked up to me and said, "Okay, you've had your 15 minutes, it's time to go.""Huh?" I asked intelligently, not quite sure what he was talking about."You can't be in here protesting," Officer Adkins said, pointing to my Veterans For Peace shirt."Well, I'm not protesting, I'm having a cup of coffee," I returned, thinking that logic would convince Adkins to go back to his earlier duties of guarding against serious terrorists.
Flipping his badge open, he said, "No, not with that shirt. You're protesting and you have to go."Beginning to get his drift, I said firmly, "Not before I finish my coffee."He insisted that I leave, but still not... | |
| | You come to my country,you obey the rules!!!! | | Well this is it...RANTING TIME!!!!!I know there's a lot of Canadians on here,so you'll know what I'm talking about.Others just read carefully,because this is a global problem.There is a new term in the Canadian lexic:Reasonnable accomodations.Certain immigrants are trying to take on our laws and civil codes and have them adapt to their religious beliefs.What's up with that??Shouldn't you be proud to be accepted in a FREE COUNTRY???Let me give you some concrete examples:A jewish rabbi from Montreal asked the local YMCA (community center)to frost their windows because the jewish kids in the school a block away saw woman working out in their GYM CLOTHES(??!!??)The worst: The YMCA AGREED!!!Muslim girls requested to have the swimming pool to themselves to take swimming lessons that are open to the public.It was refused and the girls caused a rumble outside the pool.(very religious eh??)Muslim men DEMAND that their driving instructor is a man.Muslim woman want to vote and go to the bank with their "micha",that veil that covers all but the eyes.Try it for yourselves:Walk into your bank with a drape over your head and see if you don't get arrested....Highly... | |
| | Do you wear a watch? | | I love my swiss army watch. But I wonder how many other people still wears a watch, now that you can get the time from your cell phone, iPod, etc. How much do you value a watch? Do you wear an expensive watch? | |

| | Web 2.0 wave starts | | Whether you use your computer for work or fun, the programs you use generally have one thing in common - they are stored on your PC. Increasingly though, that software is moving online. The move to put more and more of those familiar programs on to the web has been happening for a while but its latest incarnation has won the name of Web 2.0.What is it - the definition is imprecise at best, but it loosely describes a category of websites that are known for interactivity, collaboration and community.Developments in underlying web technology make this all possible and mean that what the sites can do is very new. Simplicity is often the key. Often it is an online application that does one thing and does it well.CNET.com's Caroline McCarthy has a few favourites: "I have just started using a new site called Remember The Milk, which is a task manager. It's incredibly simple, a very easy to use list of things you have to do, places you have to go, things you have to buy, that sort of thing. "Clipmarks is a site where you can just share clips or portions of a website rather than the entire bookmark, so it's good for quotations."Tumblr is basically a blogging platform for... | |
