Great... Washington, D.C. has turned into this wannabe high-end playground—it’s basically just walled itself off from the rest of the world—and now they're even messing with the routes... Honestly, you can barely find any decent rock music playing anywhere in the City anymore.
silentheron25 said:I'm honestly just glad if this ointment helps someone else, even if it didn't quite do the trick for me. I was actually losing sleep scrolling through the web until I found this cream—it isn't specifically marketed for psoriasis, but apparently, it works just as well for dermatitis too. Plus, they offer a 100% money-back guarantee, and it’s actually cheaper than that ointment from Mexico. This cream comes from the US, and according to the manufacturer, it has already helped thousands of people. I personally reached out to them to ask if it would help with psoriasis, and they assured me it would—that it would clear things up, stop the itching, and that the formula actually kills certain bacteria. I think I might order it again; maybe I'll have bad luck once more, but what can you do? Anyway, here is the ingredient list, so if anyone knows whether this is just nasty chemicals or something milder, let me know. Personally, the cream sounds better than an ointment to me. here is the composition Ingredients list: Extract of Cardiospermum Halicacabum (Balloon vine extract), Deionized water, Sunflower extract, Octyldodecanol, Echium plant, Polawax, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Dimethicone, Propylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Chloroxyethanol & Caprylyl Glycol, Imidazolidinyl urea, Triethanolamine, and Citric acid. The price for one cream is $30, plus about $9 for shipping. You can check it out yourselves at www.freederm.com (and jadesailor14, before you start lecturing me or accusing me of spamming, let me be clear: this isn't some paid advertisement where I make a profit. I'm just posting this so others can see it, and if it helps, that's great.) 👍
Well, now... to me, that website screams scam.
That first sentence... "the secret cream doctors don't want you to know about"—essentially, they're implying medical professionals consider the preparation ineffective or even harmful, so they resort to those cheap conspiracy theories...
The rest of it... it's all just sensationalism, like something you'd see in a late-night infomercial for laundry detergent... Honestly, no thanks...

If you had actually looked into how things work, you'd know that isn't true. You still have to meet specific requirements to qualify for a loan.
Okay... let's say you have one of those people who would take the elevator to the sixth floor just to walk down to the second. I highly doubt there are enough people like that to make a middleman business like this actually profitable... I mean, who is going to call some random, shady stranger to negotiate life insurance policies under weird conditions when they could just walk into a Chase branch and handle everything cleanly and securely? The only reason someone wouldn't go through a bank is if they knew they'd be flagged immediately—which brings us back to the fact that this can't be a legitimate operation. After all, why would a major bank suddenly approve a loan for someone who doesn't qualify, even through an intermediary? It just doesn't make sense from a legal standpoint.
Jerry Lee14 said:He’s got nothing to do with her anymore. He just took his cut from the life insurance policy commission and moved on; he hasn't got a single thing to do with the loan. The bank issued the credit, and the payments go straight to them.
Hold on a second... it sounds like it would actually be much easier for him to just call some guy with a notepad from a random phone booth—risking a run-in with some shady street lender or some low-level hustler—than it would be to simply call a couple of major banks, walk into a branch, and secure a straightforward loan without any of those extra little "hidden fee" headaches...
To me, that seems faster, safer, and way more reliable, so I don't think that argument really holds water.
Besides, most of those shady flyers explicitly state there are no collateral requirements, no mortgages, and no credit checks involved... I mean, what kind of bank would ever grant a loan like that if I could just take the money and vanish?
I’ve been sitting here wondering—honestly, it feels a bit surreal—why anyone would ever find it logical to offer an unsecured loan to someone who is already drowning in three other debts they can't even begin to manage. It just doesn't pass the smell test.
a) maybe the lender just has way too much extra cash lying around and feels like being charitable b) or perhaps there’s some sort of shady loophole involved
The more "sophisticated" scenario involves someone using a credit card to buy goods that don't actually exist—basically a shell game—whereas the much uglier reality is dealing with a predatory lender. We're talking about those sharks who wait until the victim can't keep up with those insane interest rates, and then they show up at your door to seize your car, your vacation home, or even your house.
The FSB is at 1020—and by that, I mean the actual FSB clock speed (255 base clock × 4).
I've been checking stability using the Everest test, though I just realized that most people usually lean on different tools for this kind of thing... Regardless, it's pretty obvious the system wasn't holding up, since Windows kept crashing on me every thirty minutes to an hour or so.
Hey everyone, I could really use some advice here.
Here is my current setup:
Processor... Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 Motherboard... Asus P5N-e Memory... Transcend JM667qlj-1g, two 1GB sticks at 557 MHz Graphics... ATI x1300xt Hard Drive... two Western Digital Caviar 160 GB drives in RAID0 Power Supply... Antec Basiq 500W Cooling... stock cooler on the processor, plus two case fans
So... I've been reading online that people are pushing these processors past 3 GHz, but for some reason, mine just won't run stably above 2.55 GHz (with the Front Side Bus at 1020). Once I go beyond that, my Everet stability test hangs after only a few minutes—and if I try to push the Front Side Bus to 1100, it refuses to even boot. Interestingly, if I push it to 1200, it boots up, but Windows won't fully load—it just hits a black screen and stays completely frozen. My temperatures are sitting around 41°C, so I don't think heat is the issue here. I even tried bumping the core voltage up to 1.50V, but it didn't help at all. As for the memory, I've tried keeping it at 667 or dropping it down to 400, but nothing seems to change the outcome.
Is there some trick I'm missing, or is there a hardware bottleneck somewhere? Or did I just end up with a dud processor that's being stubborn?
Maybe we should all get together at Mount Rainier before the ski season kicks off... just so we can collectively demand some accountability from Bloomberg regarding that artificial snow situation. 😍
Look... stomach acid doesn't really travel down into the intestines, so I don't think you can pin the issue there. As far as the stomach itself goes—well, things might get complicated if your acidity levels actually take a massive dive...
I've been using Lanzul myself lately—I was on Pepcid before this—and honestly, I never had any trouble with them.
Linda Chase81 said:Oh man, seriously... it feels like this happens every single day. 😵 I make sure to do this twice a week right before swimming season kicks off—since it covers pretty much my entire body—just so I can get everything under control in time. I want to be able to soak up the sun like everyone else without having to deal with ignorant people pulling their kids away from me on the beach. 🤣
You always end up having a solid spot secured on the beach, anyway. 🙂
Kenneth Williams36 said:How can you not understand him? The man is just bitter because someone is trying to profit off of another person's misfortune—that's the core issue. Honestly, the only thing wrong with his reaction is the way he handled it (though I certainly get where he's coming from), because making an open threat like that is something you just shouldn't do.
Look... under U.S. law, it works like this:
Unlicensed Medical Practice
Section 244.
(1) Anyone who treats another person or provides medical assistance without the required professional credentials,
shall be punished by a fine of up to fifty days' income or imprisonment for up to six months.
(2) Anyone who commits the offense described in paragraph 1 of this section for a reward or for profit,
shall be punished by a fine or imprisonment for up to one year.
Preparation and Manufacture of Harmful Remedies
Section 245.
(1) Anyone who prepares or manufactures preparations or products for sale or other means of distribution that are harmful to human health,
shall be punished by a fine or imprisonment for up to one year.
(2) Anyone who commits the offense described in paragraph 1 through negligence,
shall be punished by a fine of up to fifty days' income or imprisonment for up to six months.
(3) All products and manufacturing equipment shall be seized.
So, there are plenty of ways to make sure they face consequences for what they're doing... calling in the police is certainly one of them...
P.S. Googo, why don't you just hand over your details? That way, if this "cure" turns out to be a complete bust, I can personally make sure to drop by and ensure you never again think it’s a bright idea to profit off someone else's misfortune...
So, look—I have to share this with you all. Ever since I put up my last post, I actually ran into this old lady who sold me some kind of concoction for $167. It was basically a herbal cream mixed with... well, let's just say some very questionable biological ingredients. When I first applied it to my skin, the stuff smelled absolutely revolting—it was practically smoking and stinging like crazy—but somehow, my psoriasis cleared up in about thirty minutes. If you guys are interested, I’m more than happy to play middleman and order a batch for you... Just send $167 to the account I'll provide once you shoot me a private message.
