Botox Party

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

“A what?” Yes, a botox party. Like a Tupperware party but just a little different…

In these modern times there a people that invite other people, like friends and family, for a botox party.

When using botox I think you are stupid, but okay that is my opinion. In the case that you really want that, just have your own fun, go to a clinic to have it done.

I saw a program on tv of a group of friends and people that know each other. They invited a adviser, who brought a doctor (can I see your license, please!) to do the job right away, in the kitchen!!

“We are having a really enjoyable evening and I thought why not?!” a young guy says into the camera.

Yes, it is quite normal to put a unstable neurotoxic into you face. I thought that it could damage you brain…
You are right. In this case there is no way damage anything, there is nothing!!!

Jimbo is a pathologic(al) liar…

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

I never did follow Jimmy Carter’s carreer, I must admit. I knew he got a Nobel Peace Price, but more mistakes have been made there.

Now he has published a book that has the title: Peace Not Apartheid. As I heard the title I frowned my eyebrows. After hearing parts from the book I made a comparison with some high rank dutch politicians (former prime minister Van Agt for instance) that have formed a form of latent anti-Semitism or anti-Zionism, like Jimbo does. It is at least biased, but probably worse.

There are so many lies in the book: Page 62: When I met with Yasir Arafat in 1990, he stated, “The PLO has never advocated the annihilation of Israel. The Zionists started the ‘drive the Jews into the sea’ slogan and attributed it to the PLO.

I was drawn to this lie: We all KNOW by fact that this is not the truth!

I am not going into it deeply because others do that much better that I could ever do. And next to that I must be honest that I did not read the book. But also in this case: others did the (good) job!

Read on at CAMERA. They made a roundup of all criticism on Jimbo.

Something related: Jimmy Carter Center gets Arab money. And I mean loads of it…

Palm adventures – part 3 (or four?)

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

[I started this fourth part end december and was too much fed up with the whole thing to write on with it...]

I lost count…

That is our policy” – is is a frequently used sentence in the USA, I am sure. It think they see it as a magic word: policy. To my opinion it is an ANTI-magic word.

This is part-I don’t know in the Palm Treo 680 from the USA saga. For earlier parts look below!

After having trouble to become Europe’s first COPPER Palm Treo 680 owners, my best friend Servaas and I were prepared to bug his bil (brother in law) to help us out.

We did ask him to order two COPPER Palm Treo 680 at the Palm Treo store with an American creditcard.

We are still empty handed. The TWO orders we had were dumped by Treo Store and we still don’ know why.
We did order two times because we both wanted to get the Palm Music Pack (for BOTH phones) for free with our order.
After a call we got the answer that there were no copper ones anymore and thats why our order was just skipped.
After that still lots and lots of copper treo’s have been shipped… Huh?!?!

Still empty hands, okay, a grey phone on its way from the States.

[27-01-2007]
End of the story is that we both have an American, but graphite Palm Treo 680. Taken from the States by my buddies bil.
We were still waiting for copper Treo’s to buy if available in Europe. No one could tell us when the first ones would be there.
But last week we did hear that Palm is stopping the production of the copper 680…

I could buy one at ebay, but I am really so sick of it!!!

[and I don't even talk about the (severe!) battery and other problems]

Part 1 – Palm discrimination
Part 2 – No European Palm Treo 680 order in US

No Swiss CHEEEESSSSE anymore

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

I never had the idea that the Swiss are nice people. I don’t exactly know why… All men are reservists in the army and have their (sometimes stone old) guns at home.
To Americans this seems heaven. I understand. But it is strange to Europeans in general… I may be a little biased.
Where do they need all these weapons for?! Protect their stolen money?

The Swiss are said to be neutral in the Second World War… I mean they didn’t care were the money did come from… I am sure this is true…

I am afraid I started just a bit off topic
The Swiss are banning all navigation devices with so called POI’s, Points of Interest on it. Yes, serious!
Not all POI’s, but only the ones that contain information on speed controls, speed limits and everything related it seems.
This is fine with me, because I think it is a-social behaviour to drive (too) fast and then hit the brakes to get to the right speed. It is the way they do this….

But the police and maybe others can search actively to PND, Personal Navigation Devices to see whether someone has one in possession.
I can see the border patrol with their German Shepherd Dogs (no Berner Sennenhund or Saint Bernard! – the first are helt on farms and the second are used for rescue in the mountains….), and search cars for illegal PNDs!

The official information on this (in German / Italian / French) from ASTRA, “the bureau of roads”, with an (German only explanation here.

Happy driving in Switzerland!!!

[I forgot to say that pda's (like my Palm Treo 680) with navigation software can be confiscated and destoyed too!!]
