Nine words women use...
right and you need to shut up.
2.) Five Minutes : If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.
Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more
minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
3.) Nothing : This is the calm before the storm. This means something,
and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing
usually end in fine.
4.) Go Ahead : This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
5.) Loud Sigh : This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement
often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an
idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing
with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)
6.) That's Okay : This is one of the most dangerous statements a wom a n
can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard
before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7.) Thanks : A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say
you're welcome.
8.) Whatever : Is a women's way of saying F@!K YOU!
9.) Don't worry about it, I got it : Another dangerous statement, meaning
this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but
is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's
wrong?' For the woman's response refer to #3.Then you RUN!
Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can
avoid if they remember the terminology.
Send this to all the women you know to give them a good laugh,
cause they know it's true.

Photos just before Plane Crash
Last month a B737 had a mid air collision with a Embraer Legacy while cruising at 35,000 feet over South America . The Embraer Legacy, though seriously damaged, with the winglet ripped off, managed to make a landing at a nearby airstrip in the midst of the Amazon jungle. The crew and passengers of the Embraer Legacy had no idea what they had hit. The B737, however, crashed killing all crew and passengers on board.
The two photos attached above were apparently ta! ken by one of the passengers in the B737, after the collision and before the aircraft crashed. The photos were retrieved from the camera's memory stick. You will never get to see photos like this. In the first photo there is a gaping hole in the fuselage through which you can see the tailplane and vertical fin of the aircraft. In the second photo one of the passengers is being sucked out of the gaping hole.
Photos were taken inside the plane.

H.I.V Facts
- HIV can never survive in any other liquid* medium also other than blood or semen.
- Even if one drinks an HIV infected blood (or semen) of someone (ingest through Gastro Intestinal track), the virus can not survive in the acidic pH of stomach*. Highest extent of acidity is 0 (practically not possible) so imagine 1 as pH which is in our stomach. (This pH can burn your own finger in less than a second if you dip in that acid).
- Exposure of less than 1 second in AIR KILLS the HIV virus* (hence story of needle pricks in Cinema theatres is a crap). Even if blood from a wound (of infected person) dries up (*blood clot*), *the virus dies*and can not infect anyone else
- HIV transmission is *ONLY* an *INFECTION* i.e. entrance of virus in one's body. It *DOES NOT MEAN AIDS*.
- An HIV-infected person (after entrance of virus) can progress to a condition of AIDS only after *8 to 10 YEARS *(not in 15 days )
- It is *not HIV (virus) that kills a human* .....the virus attacks immune cells (cells that fight against foreign pathogens/antigens) and hence a person's ability to fight against infections & diseases slowly diminishes and person ultimately dies of a disease which could be as simple as TB
- Most importantly, HIV is no longer a dreadful disease ... it is "*CHRONIC MANAGEABLE DISEASE*" just like Diabetes or Hypertension.
- If there is anything you need to be careful from to prevent HIV is Unsafe sex*, *Blood transfusion* (check before taking) /Blood donation (use sterilized needles only) and any *blood contact during an accident *or so where amount of bleeding is very high.

The world's longest Ferrari
This is, believe it or not, the world's first-ever Ferrari stretch limo: a 23-foot 360 Modena with eight seats and the biggest electric gullwing doors we've ever seen.
It's the handiwork of Style Limousines in Manchester, which spent more than £200,000 modifying the rear-engined 360.
All eight of the seats are carbon-fibre buckets with five-point race harnesses - which might sound excessive until you discover that the 3.6-litre V8 remains, its 395bhp propelling the mega-Ferrari to 60mph in under six seconds. Could prove a challenge not to spill your cheap champagne.
Those gull-wing doors are nine-foot long and were designed by one of the teams responsible for the Mercedes SLR McLaren.

Dangerous DRUG!!!
India and Pakistan have become a dumping ground for banned drugs; also the business for production of banned drugs is booming. Please make sure that you buy drugs only prescribed by a doctor (Also, ask which company manufactures it, this would help to ensure that u get what is prescribed at the Drug Store) and that also from a reputed drug store. Not many people know about these banned drugs and consume them causing a lot of damage to themselves. We forward Jokes and other junk all the time. This is far more important.
DANGEROUS DRUGS HAVE BEEN GLOBALLY DISCARDED BUT ARE AVAILABLE IN INDIA AND PAKISTAN . The most common ones are D cold, action 500 & Limuloid.
Brand name: Novalgin

Deadly Cellphone!!!
I HOPE YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS !!!
Never ever answer a cell phone while it is being RECHARGED! A few days ago, a person was recharging his cell phone at home. Just at that time, a call came in and he answered it with the instrument still connected to the outlet. After a few seconds, electricity flowed into the cell phone unrestrained and the young man was thrown to the ground with a heavy thud. His parents rushed to the room only to find him unconscious, with a weak heartbeat and burnt fingers.
He was rushed to the nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Cell phones are a very useful modern invention. However, we must be aware that it can also be an instrument of death. Never use the cell phone while it is hooked to the electrical outlet!
FORWARD THIS TO THE PEOPLE THAT MATTER IN YOUR LIFE

Short Story with a beautiful message
The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter,
'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.'
The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.'
'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father.
'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl.
'If I hold your hand and something happens to me,
chances are that I may let your hand go.
But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens,
you will never let my hand go.'
In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.
So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours...
This message is too short......but carries a lot of Feelings.
Zodiac Drinker
TAURUS Drinking style Taurus prefers to drink at a leisurely pace, aiming for a mellow glow rather than a full-on zonk. Since a truly intoxicated Taurus is a one-person stampede, the kind of bull-in-a-china- shop inebriate who spills red wine on white carpets and tells fart jokes to employers, the preference for wining and dining (or Bud and buddies) to body shots and barfing is quite fortunate for the rest of us. This is not to say that the Bull is by any means a teetotaler -- god, no.. A squiffy Taurus will get, er, gregarious (full of loud mouth soup, some would say) and is extremely amusing to drag to a karaoke bar when intoxicated.
GEMINI Drinking style Gemini's can drink without changing their behavior much-- they're so naturally chatty and short-attention- spanned that it's just hard to tell sometimes. They can amaze you by conversing with finesse and allusion, then doing something to belie an extremely advanced state of intoxication, like puking in your shoe. Gemini's possess the magic ability to flirt successfully (and uninfuriatingly, which is very tricky) with several people at once. They like to order different cocktails every round -- repetition is boring -- and may create a theme (like yellow drinks: beer, sauvignon blanc and limoncello) for their own amusement.
CANCER Drinking style Cancer is a comfort drinker -- and an extra wine with dinner or an after-work beer or six can be extra comforting, can't it, Cancer darling? Like fellow water signs Scorpio and Pisces, Crabs must guard against lushery. Cancers are brilliant at ferreting out secret parties and insinuating themselves on VIP lists -- and, in true Hollywood style, Cancers are never really drunk; instead, they get "tired and emotional" (read: weepy when lubricated). But there's nothing better than swapping stories (and spit) over a few bottles of inky red wine with your favorite Cancer. Even your second-favorite Cancer will do. The sign also rules the flavor vanilla, and you'd be adored if you served up a vanilla vodka and soda.
LEO Drinking style Leo likes to drink and dance -- they're often fabulous dancers, and usually pretty good drinkers as well, losing their commanding dignity and turning kittenish. Of course, they're quite aware that they're the darling --Leos will be Leos, after all. They generally know their limit, probably because they loathe losing self-control. When they get over-refreshed, expect flirting to ensue -- and perhaps not with the one who they were with :-) But Leo's not the type to break rules even when drunk, so just try to ignore it (try harder, Cancer) and expect a sheepish (and hung over) Lion to make it up to you the next day.
VIRGO Drinking style Cerebral Virgos are compelled to impose order onto their bender. Their famously fussy quest for purity could lead to drinking less than other signs, sure --but it could also lead to drinking booze neat, to sucking down organic wine or just to brand loyalty. They rarely get fully shellacked -- but, oh, when they do! Virgo's controlled by the intellect, but there's an unbridled beast lurking within, and they let it loose when walloped. It's dead sexy (and surprisingly unsloppy). As one Virgo friend used to declare, "I'm going to drink myself into a low-level of intelligence tonight." A toast to the sub genius IQ!
LIBRA Drinking style "I'm jusht a social drinker," slurs Libra, "it's jusht that I'm so damn social?" Libra loves nothing more than to party, mingle and relate to everyone. Whether dipped in favor of Good Libra (with Insta-Frienddevice set to "on") or heavier on the Evil Libra side (they are little instigators when bored), the Scales can really work a room. Charming as they are, Libras are notoriously lacking in self-control, however, which can get them into all sorts of trouble --including wearing their wobbly boots waaaay too early in the evening, flirting with every man/woman in the roomor even blacking out the night's events entirely. Oops!
SCORPIO Drinking style Don't ever tell Scorpios they've had enough, for they'll smirk at you and quietly but intentionally keep tippling till they're hog-whimpering drunk, out of 100-proof spite. Scorpios like to drink, and screw you if you have a problem with that. Most of them seethe sauce as something to savor in itself, and not asa personality- altering tool -- though if depressed, self-loathing Scorps seek total obliteration. But generally, they're fascinating drinking pals, brilliant conversationalists and dizzying flirts. They also remember everything -- especially what you did when you were blitzed. Only drink with a Scorpio who likes you.
SAGITTARIUS Drinking style In vino veritas -- and, for Sagittarius, in booze blurtiness: When buttered, they'll spill all your secrets and many of their own. Tactlessness aside, Sagittarius is just plain fun to drink with. This is a sign of serious partying (what else would you expect from the sign of Sinatra, Keith Richards, the Bush twins and Anna Nicole Smith?). They're the people who chat up everyone in the room, then persuade the entire crowd to travel somewhere else -- like a nightclub, or a playground, or Cancun . Good-natured hijinks are sure to ensue (including a high possibility of loopy groping; spontaneous Sag is a brilliant booty call).
CAPRICORN Drinking style Capricorn is usually described as practical, steadfast, money-hungry and status-thirsty -- no wonder they get left off the astrological cocktail-party list. But this is the sign of David Bowie and Annie Lennox, not to mention Elvis. Capricorn is the true rock star: independent, powerful and seriously charismatic, not too eager to please. And if they make money being themselves, who're you to quibble? But just like most rock stars, they're either totally on or totally off, and they generally need a little social lubricant to loosen up and enjoy the after party, especially if they can hookup with a cute groupie.
AQUARIUS Drinking style Aquarius and drinking don't go together that well(except for water, that is). They have an innate tendency toward know-it-allism, and if they get an idea while sizzled, they're more stubborn than a stain or a stone. If they're throwing a party or organizing an outing, however, they're too preoccupied with their duties to get combative -- and they make perfectly charming drunks in that case. Fortunately, they're usually capital drink-nursers. They also make the best designated drivers (if you can get them before they start raising their wrist):Aquarius is fascinated by drunk people and capable of holding interesting conversations with soused strangers while sober.
PISCES Drinking style If you're a Pisces, you've probably already heard that you share a sign and an addictive personality --with Liz Taylor, Lisa Minnelli and Kurt Cobain. Not only do Pisces like to lose themselves in the dreamy, out-there feeling that only hooch can give, but they build up a mighty tolerance fast. Who needs an expensive date like that? On the other hand, they're fabulously enchanting partners, whether in conversation or in crime. With the right Pisces, you can start out sharing a pitcher of margaritas and windup in bed together for days. The phrase "addictive personality" can be read two ways, you know. ...

The Earning Guide
Be sure to check back every once in a while for additions and updates to the guide:
1. The Basic
Use a valid email address - You will always want to have a valid email address to use when you sign up to a Pay To site. This is so that the website can contact you with inquiries about your account if needed. Also, some PTC sites require a valid email in order for your payments to be accepted. Another thing you will need your email address for is your payment processing site. >>> MORE INFO
2. How to not get scammed
Here are a few simple things to prevent getting scammed.
Follow them closely, they are very accurate and will help you in the long run.
a. Don't Join Non-Customized Sites
When finding a new site, look at the layout, is it good, or bad?
This may not seem like a key factor, but it most definately is.
If the layout is very bad(visually), they probably didn't put much time into it.
This means they either can't design, or just don't care.
Also if they are running the same old "bux" layout with a new banner, keep away.
You want to find a site that is custom and in it for the long haul.
If they were in it for the long haul they would make their site unique. >>> MORE INFO
3. Gaining Referrals
Your part of a PTC and your trying to get people to join using your ref link, sounds easy enough but you realise eventually that there are many other people in the same situation trying to get people to join via their ref links also, so how do you get an edge above the rest? Follow some of these tips and your sure to have some more ref's in no time. >>> MORE INFO
How to Register?
You can register by clicking on registration buttons "SIGN UP", "JOIN", „CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT”, "REGISTER" or "REGISTRATE".
The applications offered by us usually demand three kinds of registration:
1. Registration is initiated after the e-mail is confirmed (as for the application “Bienpagado” on our page). After clicking on the registration button a field appears, where you will have to type your e-mail address and click ”CONTINUE”. You will receive a registration link via e-mail. By clicking this link you will be transferred to the application’s homepage where you will be required to give more details and then the registration is finished. You will be able to log in with the chosen login name and password.
2. After you give the required data, you will be asked to confirm your e-mail address and to activate your account (for example with the help of the PopularBux application on our webpage). More fields appear after clicking on the registration box, where you will be asked to fill in certain data. Afterwards you will receive an e-mail, and by clicking on the link in the e-mail you can activate your account. Then you will be transferred back to the application’s homepage, where you will be able to log in with the login name and the password you have chosen.
3. Direct registration (for example with the help of the DaddyBux application on our webpage). Neither e-mail confirmation, nor account activation is required. You can log in with the login name and password you have chosen after filling in the required data and the clicking can be started!
The following expressions can turn up during the process of registration:
- USERNAME: Usually it is 3-15 characters long.
- PASSWORD or CHOOSE PASSWORD: Usually it is 6 characters long. It is advised to use lower case characters, capitals and numbers as well.
- CONFIRM PASSWORD or RE-TYPE PASSWORD: You will have to retype the password.
- E-MAIL ADDRESS: Your e-mail address.
- CONFIRM E-MAIL ADDRESS: You will be asked to retype your e-mail address.
- E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR PAYMENTS or PAYMENT ACCOUNT ID: The e-mail address you have given for your account.
- COUNTRY or YOUR COUNTRY: You can choose the name of your country usually from a scroll down menu.
- REFERRER or UPLINE: The login name of the user from who you became acquainted with the application. In the case of our homepage it is our login names: cebez2007 or indirabandi. Please do not delete our login names during your registration. It won’t be a disadvantage for you, if you register under our names, but it is advantageous for us. If you delete our names, you will be registered under someone else, who did not make any effort for you to become acquainted with the application. It sounds as a cliché, but do as you feel right.
- I ACCEPT TERMS OF SERVICE or I AGREE TO THE TERMS: It is necessary to click on this field in order to end registration.
- SECURITY CODE or VERIFICATION: The security code appears near to the field. You will have to type the code into the field.
- SEND E-MAILS TO: You can come across with it at PTR applications. You will have to choose where the advertisements to pay for should be sent by the application. The usual choices from a scroll down menu: Site Inbox & eMail (e-mails are sent to both the e-mail address given in the application and to another given e-mail address), eMail (only to a given e-mail address) and Site Inbox (only to the e-mail address given in the application).
- STATE: If it does not appear in the scroll down menu, choose N/A, and usually you will be able to type in your State’s name under ”OTHER”.
- PAYMENT METHOD: Usually you can choose it from a scroll down menu.
- INTERESTS: It is limited in some web pages. Choosing Delete Me I Cheat --- I Can not Read English --- Donation --- If You Click This Link, I Delete You --- If You Click, Then Your Account Reduced $3 may result in deleting your account!
After filling in the requested data you will have to click ”REGISTER”, ”JOIN”, ”JOIN NOW”, ”SUBMIT”, ”BECOME A MEMBER” or ”SEND VERIFICATION MAIL” buttons, depending on the application.
After registration click ”LOGIN” or ”SIGN IN”, and type in your login name (may be your e-amil address at some pages) and password (some pages may require a verification code as well). Click ”LOGIN” or ”SIGN IN” again, and EARN MONEY FOR FREE!
What is PTC?
As you have to give your e-bank identification during the registration, you should start with creating of an e-bank account. (The process of opening of an account is described under PAYPAL!) All the applications we offer use PayPal for payment. Contrary to other e-bank account, with PayPal you can transfer the money you have earned directly to your account, while with e-gold for example a third company is necessary, which will deduct a certain amount at each money transfer.
Before you decide on which application to join, please register to the chosen companies and collect them to one location under “Favourites” in your browser. (The process of registration is described under REGISTRATION!) Please do not delete our login names (usually cebez2007 or indirabandi) during your registration.
By saving your login name and password with your browser you can notably reduce the time of entering the site. It is advisable to use the same login name and password at all PTC pages, because otherwise you will get confused after the 10th occasion.
After you have entered a site into which you have registered previously, before starting clicking always verify that you are logged in. If you are not logged in, please log in with the login name and the password you have chosen, otherwise you will not get any money for the clicks.
After logging in you will find the list of advertisements you will have to click under "Click for Cash", "Earnings Area", "How to Earn", "Surf Ads", "Browse Ads", ”Paid to Click” or a ”View Ads”, depending on the application.
After clicking on a link or banner, an advertisement appears, usually in a new window. After the advertisement examination time has elapsed, a notice appears informing you about whether you will receive your reward for viewing the advertisement. This can be money, point or other kind of reward (for example a click for another click), which depends on the application used. The points can be converted into cents under 'Converter'. In some cases four numbers may appear in the right or left upper corner of the page after the counter stops, and you may have to click on the number required by the site, or on a small icon with „credit me” or „pay me” in order to get paid.
After clicking all the banners or links in most cases you will have to wait for 24 hours for the links to reactivate. It is advised to visit PTC sites more times a day, since you links may appear for a short period. After clicking all the links it is useful to refresh the page, because new links may have appeared during the time of clicking.
The counters used on these pages usually stop after 3-60 seconds. The more time an advertisement requires, the more it pays.
PTC is not hard work, but you have to be careful with the so called Cheat Links. This means, that the owners of the site would like to filter those visitors, who do not understand English, or who do not pay attention and therefore click without reading the messages. Therefore false banners are intermixed with advertisements and clicking onto them results in money deduction or even all the money may disappear from the account. The manner of punishment depends on the company. Hence you should not click on links that are labeled with "Cheat link", "Don't click it" or „I can’t read” notes.
In case an exclamation mark or a question mark appears instead of the webpage, then you will have to answer the question correctly in order to get the site loaded and to get your money for it (questions are simple, here are few examples: for question “1+1?” you have to click on “2”, for “Pick Blue” you will have to chose Blue from the list, you will have to answer with “No” for the question “Do you cheat?”, and if the application asks the name of the PTC, you will have to chose the correct answer).
All sites have a disbursement limit that you will have to reach in order get the money transferred on your e-account. You can check the amount of money you have already earned in the account of the application.
Reaching the limit is much easier if you have more people to work for you. PTC pages pay a 5%-100% premium for the clicks of the people (referrals) you have registered. Naturally you will earn more money on such pages that contain more daily advertisements, where you have more referrals and where the premium percentage is higher.
After reaching the disbursement limit most of the sites pay on e-accounts. Some pages may send a cheque if required.
You can buy referrals on more sites. If you are lucky, you will get active members who will help you to earn more money. We do not recommend you to pay money to any application for their service, but some people may advise the opposite, and it is your decision after all.
Most PTC applications require regular logging in and regular use (i.e. clicking on all of the list items). Being absent for few days or even for 1-2 weeks is not a big problem, but if you do not log in for more than 30 days, then you will become an inactive member, and you may be deleted from the registered users. If it happens, you will loose all the money you have earned up to that point, so be very cautious!
The offers presented on our homepage will not make you rich quickly and all require work in order to get money. However, with constant hard-work you will get disbursements constantly from the third or fourth month. Based on “many a little makes a mickle” with few months of assiduous and constant work you can earn nice sums of money with these applications.
Beware Girls
just try to becareful when you are buying hairbands down
the road who knows what it is made from?
That was so disgusting, I would not want to use them!!
In the latest example of potentially harmful Chinese-made products, rubber hair bands have been found in local markets and beauty salons in Dongguan and Guangzhou cities in southern Guangdong province, China Daily newspaper said.
'These cheap and colourful rubber bands and hair ties sell well ... threatening the health of local people,' it said.
Despite being recycled, the hair bands could still contain bacteria and viruses, it said.
'People could be infected with AIDS, (genital) warts or other diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths while waving their hair into plaits or buns,' the paper quoted a local dermatologist who gave only his surname, Dong, as saying.
A bag of ten of the recycled bands sells for just 25 fen (three cents), much cheaper than others on the market, accounting for their popularity, the paper said.
A government official was quoted as saying recycling condoms was illegal.
China 's manufacturing industry has been repeatedly tarnished this year by a string of scandals involving shoddy or dangerous goods made for both domestic and foreign markets.
In response, it launched a public relations blitz this summer aimed at playing up efforts to strengthen monitoring systems.

The Bay of Blood (Stop this Merciless Killing)
The Faroes are a group of about 30 islands located in the North Atlantic Ocean, situated halfway between Iceland and Scotland. They fall under the crown of Denmark, but are semi-independent. The population is about 46,000, and they inhabit about half of the islands. They depend soley on commercial fishing for their livelihood.
For hundreds of years, the people of the Faroes have hunted the pods of pilot whales which swim near their shores. The hunt, known as the Grindadrap is usually in the summer months, and hasn't changed since the first hunt, hundreds of years ago, although, with modern technology, it has gotten much easier. Power boats, radios, and echo-sounders make life great for these "hunters".
As soon as the first pod of pilot whales is sighted near the coast, the hunt begins. The boat which spots the whales radios the other boats in the area, and they join to form a half circle around the whales, and begin driving them towards shore.
Notified of the whales' arrival by public radio, the islanders wade out into the water, hoping to drive a hook into a whale's head. The whale is then dragged to shore, where they are murdered with a knife used just for this gruesome purpose - a grindkniver. This weapon is 18cm long, (7 inches) and is used to sever the animal's carotid artery and jugular vein.
The whales are then butchered, the meat and blubber is handed out, free of charge to the local inhabitants. Priority goes to the ones who actually did the slaughtering. The lucky fellow who first spotted the whales gets his "pick of the litter" - the biggest, or its equal in smaller ones. The whale foremen, or grindaforemenn who oversee the massacre are guaranteed one per cent, each, of the meat.
International attention has been focused on the Faroes for several years. We argue that the killing is cruel and inhumane, there is no need for it, now that they are a modern society, and most of the meat goes to waste. Faroese scientists claim that there is no decline in the population of the pilot whales in the area, and that what they kill has no effect on the world population of pilot whales.
Between 1970 and 1979, an average of 960 whales were destroyed each year. In 1981, 2,973 were murdered....and the number grows yearly. In 1988, 544 Atlantic white sided dolphins were added to the Faroes' hit list....in a SINGLE DAY.
Pilot whales in the North Atlantic are known to contain high levels of mercury, due either to pollution or to the naturally occurring mercury which seeps from the numerous volcanic vents along the North Atlantic Ridge. In 1981, the Faroe's own Department of Hygiene recommended that the whale meat should not be eaten more than once a week, and the liver not eaten at all. At the time of this recommendation, the Department had only tested the amount of mercury in the whales' tissues. It has since been proven that the meat and blubber of the whales also contain very high levels of PCBs, DDT, and dieldrin.
To the people of the Faroe Islands...I say, "STOP THIS SENSELESS MASSACRE!!!" Anyone who could bury a hook into the back of a whale, drag it to shore, slit its throat, and butcher it, deserves to die of mercury poisoning...or worse.
