    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit.

    North Texas Skeptics Pub

    I have made arrangements with the Absinthe Lounge in Dallas to have a skeptical movie shown with a talk. The Absinthe Lounge is a bar, and we are encouraged to buy drinks. Are there any North Texans on the board who want to know more, or help with the final phase of organizing this. I am a CFI...

    Warm water

    I've heard that you should always drink lukewarm water. If you drink cold water, the body has to expend energy to warm it up so that it can be properly absorbed. You urinate less often because the water is more efficiently absorbed by the cells when the water is warm. This sounds like a load...

    DeVito

    Devito on "The View" Wouldn't it be cool if DeVito, Clooney, Moore, O'Donnell, Gibson, Richards, and all the loony-tuny lefties in Hollywood all got together for an all-weekend bender? They could trash the government, make asses of themselves, make a movie, write a book, and apologize on all...

    why smoking and drinking

    Personally I feel both activities are dumb. So this biases me, but I do have a serious question. Most people feel that smoking and drinking alcohol should be legal, while the illicit drugs should remain illegal. There are other political viewpoints, but the status quo is definately the...

    Can you stop drinking?

    Mel Gibson's case illustrates why the smartest choice is not to drink alcohol at all. As a society, we have a drinking problem. There's evidence that drinking alcohol is harmful to ourself and those around us. Alcohol does something to your brain. People suffer tremendously as a direct...

    Drinking and Hanging out...

    I propose a night of sipping one's respective booze and hanging out and chatting for those of us who cannot stand bars and pubs (namely me). I would like to have a booze run (money can be worked out beforehand) and just sit around in a room and get to know your fellow posters and TAM attendees...

    Underage drinking crackdown

    Ashley Berden, who was 18, went to a party at her friend's house and left her purse there. Fortunately, the police found the purse. The police kindly called her and let her know about the missing purse. Just kidding. They went to her home at 4AM and demanded she take a breathalyzer test to...

    DRINKING IN THE PRESENCE OF CHILDREN DURING HOLIDAY GET-TOGETHERS

    While driving in to work this morning, I was thinking about the up-coming Christmas and New years Holidays. I got thinking about what a bummer it is that my parents are teetotalers. Other families have get togethers where they bring out the booze, and have at it. Then I started to think this...

    Drinking and parenthood...

    This is a dilema that I've only come across twice in my teaching career. This round of Parent teacher conferences I had to face the fact that the one mom was totally shattered. Everyone has smelled the fact that she drinks, but we've explained it as, "maybe she had a few drinks at lunch, or...

    Parents encouraging underage drinking

    I was recently told by my female cousin that her mother, my aunt, allows her son, my male cousin, to smoke and drink in the house. My cousin, John, is 17 years old and has been in and out of jail and recently drug rehab. John has always been polite around me, and I know that he is actually a...
