Yeah, did plenty of that stuff, and damned near blew the school chem lab up one

We used to research in the state library in the textbooks used for mining engineering, and
stole stuff from the quarry that wasnt that far away from the house at the edge of town.

Sprint has no coverage where I live so I think I'll pass. In any case,

Hollywood is doing it's best to aid and abet the flooding of America
by third-world
aliens. If a show or concept attacks traditional values, or Whites in
general, the
Beverly Hills scumbags are all for it.

One $22/hr American worker pays more in social security than does two

Sex Health Tips Made Simple Series
Tips To Control Premature Ejaculation
There are many definitions of premature ejaculation but a simple one
is that if you come before you want to and you feel, you are unable to
control it, then you are suffering from premature ejaculation. The
following simple tips can help you control premature ejaculation and
prolong sex play in the bed.
Stop and start technique
This technique simply means to bring yourself to (near) the point of
no return, and stopping all stimulation before it is too late. For
some men, this includes removal of the penis from the vagina, although
for others this may not be necessary.
After the urgent feeling to ejaculate subsides, usually after 30
seconds, then thrusting and intercourse can be resumed. This stop and
start technique can be repeated as many times as you want to.
Circumcision
If you are not circumcised, ask your doctor for making circumcision.
After that you will be able to last 2-3 times longer.
Remember to breathe...
Believe it or not, breathing deeply and relaxing your body during
intercourse can help! This works best for premature ejaculation that
is caused by anxiety or tension.
Distraction
For others, distracting oneself by thinking about other things like
the office or a football match etc. can also help to prevent premature
ejaculation.
Take More Exercise
A lot of sexual anxiety is resulted from lack of exercise. If you
learn to incorporate more physical fitness activities into your life,
you'll see a dramatic reduction in nervousness and tension which can
be a major cause of your anxiety.
The squeeze technique
This technique involves gently squeezing the base or end of the penile
shaft and stopping sexual stimulation until the urge to ejaculate
passes. The squeezing can be done by either the man or his partner,
and can be repeated until ejaculation is desired.
The Two Spoons
Here the woman and the man are in a relaxed fetal position with the
man in rear entry. The stimulation for the woman is greater than that
for the man, and the man can thrust, or ask the woman to reverse
thrust, and you will find you are lasting a great deal longer than you
imagined you could.
Wear a condom
One of the most overlooked simple cures of premature ejaculation is to
wear a condom. A condom can help reduce the sensation and thus prolong
sex.
Go for Round Two
After you ejaculate too soon, and get a little rest, go for round two.
Most men last longer in bed for the second time. The more you
practice, the longer that second time will last.

Masturbate first
Masturbating first a couple of hours before making love can result in
the increased ability to last longer.
Different strokes
Enjoying the sex with different strokes will prevent premature
ejaculation problem. If you feel the stroke is strong, then change to
a lighter one.
Different sexual positions
Some men reach orgasm and ejaculate faster in the traditional
missionary position (man on top). These men may last longer when their
partner is on top.Changing positions every so often can also help; by
giving the man brief pauses during lovemaking every now and then.
Relaxation
It is helpful to control premature ejaculation. Natural preparation
is a must. Have a bath and relax yourself.
Solve relationship issues
Do not take quarrels to bed. Spend quality time with each other.

These tips are very simple and can be used by anyone. Try each
technique until you figure which ejaculation tip is best for you. I
must warn you that please take it slow (no overnight
results).Desperation and impatience will not produce any result. You
can do them with your partner or alone (better first alone).
Premature ejaculation can be easily countered with knowledge, effort
and patience. Informing yourself is the first step, and once you know
about the problem, you are halfway there. Overcoming the mental and
physical aspects of this problem are also much easier if both partners
are involved, aware of the situation and open to discuss it.
Herbal treatment
There are many herbs for men's sexual health available in the market
today. Some of these, such as Yohimbe and Maca extracts, are basically
stimulants and may have unwanted side effects, especially for older
men.
Very promising herbs are purified Saw Palmetto, Avena Sativa,
Siberian Gensing, Pellitory Pyrethrum Root, Cubeb, Jaiphal,
Delphinium, Bishop's Weed Khurasani, Black Musale and Gum Tragacanath
extracts, available under the brand name Preja at http://www.permanentX.com/.
Taken regularly, these herbs have been proven by many scientific
medical studies to help men overcome premature ejaculation without
side effects. Moreover, the scientifically processed herbs help boost
sex drive, increase stamina and control, and even improve sensation.

You can consult us for free; at our email address

to or you face any other sex health problem.

Best to take the whole family to get vaccinated for all diseases known to
man. Who knows what this snack may contain? I think it would be best
to contact CDC & ask them for their advice. And don't forget to quarantine
the whole family. And just to be on the safe side, pump out all the food
from
everyone's stomach & also do a colon cleansing. And don't forget to take
double dose of vitamins for the next 3 months. And you can never be too
careful - get a months presciption of an antibiotic for everyone in the
family
& also those who are within a mile radius.

She could have insured him for heaps and has decided that
she is going to get the bums rush and wants to circumvent that.

Not necessarily worth more than the insurance payout tho.

At this point, I'd have to learn more before I would care to inhale
the second hand vapor from these things. It could end up being yet
another form of toxin with unintended consequences. The Chinese have
proven they don't care about health.

I was checking out some floor cleaners and most that I have come

They do not seem to last long after a couple of uses...ie..swiffer for
one. i have a laminated floor and vinyl in the kitchen. Can someone
recommend a 'frugal' way of cleaning those floors other than the old
fashion mop? This is a frugal forum, is it not?:)

Swiffer type mop with terry cloth strips of cloths for 'wipes'.

Wife looked at McDonald's on 42 Street in Manhattan by
Madame Tussaud Wax Museum.

In that expensive tourist area, the
McDonald's Angus third pounder burger was $4.19.
It is MORE EXPENSIVE in Astoria, Queens!!

Quite the contrary. If they were sold as quit-smoking aids they'd fall
under the control of the FDA and the classed as a drug which would
entail all sorts of high cost testing and approval procedures. I
believe it costs over $100 million to gain FDA approval for any new
drug. You can be sure Nicorette, Pfizer, and even big tobacco are just
hoping to catch them in a quit-smoking claim.

I googled. Every one I saw touted itself as a quit-smoking aid. As a cigarette
substitute they're incredibly expensive.

Maybe it's possible to buy nicotine bug-killer, saturate a cotton ball and stuff
it into one of those large straws they use for boba tea...

We used to buy chemistry sets at yard sales. My baby son liked to make gunpowder...

My HS chem lab partner liked to mix random things together. Fortunately all he
created was bad-smelling smoke.

Yeah, me too. I made up a heavy wooden thing with eye holes in it which
had perspex plugs in the holes and metal mesh over that, so we could
watch stuff blow up very closely. That went fine until we tried filling the
glass bottles we were blowing up with oxygen from an oxygen cylinder
we used from an adjacent building site. We had solid model jet engine
slugs in the bottles. Still got a bloody great scar on my leg from that one.

Mate of mine's mother was the chemistry teacher in the school, we borrowed
the keys to the chem lab one school holidays and damned near blew the
whole place up making stuff only half understanding what we were up to.

The fool the blew his hand right off was hammering the stuff used for loading
bullets by hand into a heavy water pipe with a solid metal rod to pack it in.

We always thought he was a terminal fuckwit even before he blew his hand right off.

I used to buy chemicals in bulk from the main supplier to schools and industrial chem labs etc.

Yeah, did plenty of that stuff, and damned near blew the school chem lab up one
holidays, my mate's mother was the chemistry teacher and we borrowed the keys.

We used to research in the state library in the textbooks used for mining engineering, and
stole stuff from the quarry that wasnt that far away from the house at the edge of town.

I assume there's some sort of law that requires that they be sold as
quit-smoking aids rather than environmentally-friendly nicotine delivery systems.
