FLU,

Clever ideas, but they appear to be aimed at a man. CMCG is, if I recall, a woman.

CMCG, I’m a bit confused about how good a friend this is. I certainly don’t have any friends that come by five times a week. My wife has one or two that might come by that often, but they are easily good enough friends that she can laugh off a gift that she doesn’t want. What she would do is kind of make a joke about it in a merry way. Keep smiling and laughing and joking while gently placing said gift in a location such that the friend knows she’ll never see it displayed again. If you keep it light, there might not be so much tension and your non-display of her gift might not cause such a rift.

In any case, a friend that gets “very hurt” and “angry” if you alter a gift she gave you seems pretty self-centered to me. Not to mention fragile and needy.

I missed this post when it first came out, but I’d add some advice to the original list:

Don’t take medical advice from a paranoid, ranting, bitter person who thinks that “all things intellectual are relative and personal.” That last one alone is more than enough to entirely disregard anything he says.

As for the “alternative and traditional methods of healing,” well, I think the average person is much more likely to be harmed (or at least bilked out of lots of money) if he attempts to heal with those methods than he is to be healed. While there may be a few methods not accepted by mainstream medicine that are safe and effective, I believe the vast majority are worthless and many are dangerous. And I don’t think your average person with an IQ of 100 and no medical training has nearly the ability necessary to research and analyze alternative methods effectively enough to ensure that he’s getting a safe and effective treatment.

As for weight loss, I’ve known many, many people who’ve lost lots of weight. But I’ve only known three or four who’ve lost more than 20 pounds and kept it off for more than a couple years. And they all had one thing in common: Regular, vigorous aerobic exercise. Not walking around the block a few times, but really getting their heart rate up and putting a lot of effort into it.

“Many seasoned professionals have been burned by jumping in too early”

Eventually that will happen enough times – both to pros and amateurs – that J6P will finally stop thinking that the recent price drops represent an “oppotunity” and start thinking that prices will keep dropping indefinitely. And, of course, then we’ll have our opportunity.

That’s a great picture, sdduuuude. I’d guess your shock and confusion comes from the post by a “poway_seller.”

As insane as the original powayseller (note the different logon ID) was, she could at least spell. And she used capital letters and proper punctuation. This, I’m 99% sure, isn’t her. It’s somebody just throwing it out there and seeing what he/she gets.

Sounds like this new poway_seller might be just as nutty as the old powayseller, only this new one can’t spell or write very well.
