Hmm, interesting idea, Tracie! :sneaky: If I can get my mic to work, I try to record a little something. :) Is there a deadline for this?

Just as a reminder, this donation round ends in a few days. I challenge everyone to donate a "starbucks coffee's worth" of money to Zali's fund. For most of you, this means just a few dollars. Let's see if we can't get this rounds total up to $50.00 USD! Angie, I included your donation for last month. Thanks a lot! airieslady, thank you for your donation for this round!! :nice:

Aww Nik! Thanks for making the CCC your #1 pick!! :) :dance: In my mind, the CCC has been made worthwhile because of all the lovely people who have shown their support and donated to the $1.36 charity project - if you aren't familiar with what's been going on, 100% of the donations support our very own sponsored child, Zali in Mali, Africa. (We have raised over $700 USD! for Zali and his community!!) Great work everyone!! :nice::nice: GREAT idea for a thread, btw!!

Round ends tomorrow! We're currently at $32.73. Let's see if we can hit $50!! Huge thanks to linnea and Collee for always being so dedicated with their donations. *clap, clap*

Aww, how'd you find that, Tans?? He does look a bit more grown up in that photo. :nice::heart: I've got some new material from STC that I need to scan in. Now that i'm finally on holidays, I'll get around to it ASAP!

Thank you, you lovely people for your answers!! :nice:

Thanks Iris! If you have a chance....could you tell me a bit more about this International Congress of HIV? What was its mission?

Yup, thanks Smut :nice: It's interesting to learn what people know of AIDS/HIV. I want to keep this unbiased...so I can't really comment on any of your answers right now, but thanks for the response!!

:P Anyone?

Hey guys, At uni I'm studying anthropology and currently taking a class on medical anthropology. Medical anthropology examines the biological, cultural, social, economic and political factors that lead to health/wellness and illness within, and across different cultures. For my final term project I have chosen to research AIDS/HIV, and am required to obtain illness narratives. I have a short survey and would really appreciate it if some of you could take a minute or two to answer my questions! I posted this same survey on an AIDS/HIV forum, but apparently they get hundreds of these types of requests and weren't too keen to participate. Then I remembered cping!....and thought it would be a great place to gather the perceptions of young people from all over the world :P If you are willing to answer the following few questions, I would be more than grateful! I have two sets of questions; one for those who are living with AIDS/HIV, and another set for those who aren't. If you do not feel comfortable posting your answers on this board, please email me your responses: [email protected], or PM them to me. If you are able to get your answers to me soon, I'd be very grateful indeed! Thank you very much for taking the time to read this!! I appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks you guys! PS. Sorry didnt know where else to post this...hope its ok that its in the Lounge!

Wow, wow, wow. What a small venue!! The tickets are expensive, but for that small of a gig, it will be worth every single penny. :stunned:

Is there a presale for this at all?

Oooo! I'm so happy for all of you guys who will finally have a chance to gooooo!!!!!!!!! :dance: :dance: Good things come to those who wait. :nice:

Thanks for the comments on my photo, guys! I'm just waiting for it to snow again so I can take some more! Snow seems to make the familiar, unfamiliar. Steph, I really like the juxtaposition of nature vs. modernity in that second photo. Cool colors too! Good eye!

I WISH I HAD TIME TO BE BORED. :sick: :wreck: :wreck:

Thanks Mark! d/ling now. :nice:

Oh this is frustrating. I did add in .wav, but the only one that plays for me is Buckets of Rain....

Marky, even after I type in the new extension, it doesn't change the file type...:cry2: Ideas?

Thanks for comments on my photo. :nice: Bright - I like your description! Thanks! Wendy, cool photos! I absolutely love belly dancing. It's such a sensual, yet strong/empowering dance. Are you in that group photo?

Beautiful photography everyone! :stunned: :nice: Here's one that I took at around 1:30am last night from my front porch looking down my street. We had our first snow fall of the year yesterday, and I couldn't resist taking a snap. For this picture I did a long exposure which is why the sky looks so blue (in the middle of the night) :P Looking at it now, I would have composed it differently...but I was wearing PJs and slippers in sub-freezing temperatures and wanted to get back inside as quickly as possible! Ahh, I love snow!

I'm thinkin its going to be a looooong, long night of studying for final exams, and preparing for a huge presentation. Oy. :embarassed:

Bald Chris, buzzcut Chris, hairy-bouncy-curl Chris...doesn't matter to me! He always looks super. :nice: Just.....Chris, promise us no comb overs in the future, mmk? :laugh4:

Not sure when Rodan will be finished with the DVD.....hopefully the CCC trailer makes the final cut! :nice:

I'm hoping beyond hope for a DVD as well, but I doubt it will be something as big as that. KM, your new avi!!! :laugh3: :laugh3:

Ohh, I'll cross my fingers for you guys! :nice:
