I don't get what Who was really trying to say, but it read like a scam period & really don't appreciate that kind of thing being posted here.

is nowhere on the internet safe from crap like this?

my confession is that (occassionally) I am a bitch.
live with it.

[maddy29]

OT- I used to live in 02134, now I live in 02143. 02134 was too studenty and ratty/trashy for me, after two years....weird combo of richy rich BU students and homeless people.

[pepper]

oh my goodness, you don't actually think that you will ever SEE any of that money do you? that is the oldest scam in the book. do an online search and you'll find more information than you could possible ever read on the subject.

[whocanjudgeme]

ok well what about this
hello all
dont know where to post but looking for feedback
someone in nigeria is trying to scam me out of 20000 twenty thousand dollars usd
i have caught on but desperately want to let the scam ensue and not send the money and just keep it for myself despite knowing that it is going to bounce
i look at it as an interest free loan
i desperately need this money
am torn due to moral and right and wrong issues
there will be nothing that can be done to prosecute this person so why not just keep the money and do what i need to do and just pay my bank back on one of their payment plans
if this happens i wonder if they will try to make ME go to jail
i cant get any loans credit is bad
all resources and help have been exhausted
what would u do?
i have another busty name many of you have seen me posting but for obvious reasons right now i dont want to say
i really need advice or imput

Nakedness confession: Once I had a telephone job interview so I did it naked. It was oddly calming.

Tyger, I pick scabs, too. *But* I'll keep *one* alive & ticking for ages. Weirdly in the past five years I have developed a need for a 'worry spot'. A place I'll pick at again & again. I have one on my forearm right now that I've been picking at for cod knows how long that went from being a spot that could be covered by a little square bandage, to being about an inch long. I just can't stop. I cover it with bandaids, but I eventually rip the suckers off & dig away at it until it's smooth again. One of my little crushie boys actually grabbed my wrist a week ago & made some lame joke about it, "You don't have to stay with him, you know." Like some guy was burning me with cigarettes or something. Then he admitted that he'd noticed it when it was little & wondered why it had never gone away & had, in fact, gotten larger. I couldn't decide if I was touched or red-faced. Either way I changed the subject.

Whammy, I live in 02134 too! Nutz! I like it here too, for the most part.

[tyger]

oh, zoom, how you ruined pbs after-school programming for me. (they still make it , zoya, and it hurts my head)

i'm thinking of just not going back to a job, and just screening my phone calls with caller id, so i can keep the cool shirts they just gave me.

[zoya]

my confession is that I am old enough to remember that whammy_bar lives in the zip code for ZOOM!!

Ohh Two One Three Fourrr... send it to ZOOM!!!!

[raisingirl]

Not to steer this even more OT, but Harvard is already taking over LA, Whammy. I suspect you're on the other side of the Pike?

[whammy_bar]

well, folks, realize that a neighborhood doesn't have to be "fancypants" to have good food and clubs and transport and housing and a low crime rate, right? The sucky part is that good neighborhoods that aren't expensive are harder to find all the time.
I am happy that I live in Allston MA 02134, which is sophisticated with all amenities -- cosmopolitan mixed race population, great old buildings with nice apartments like the nice solid brownstone and brick apartment building so super clean and new inside like the one I am living in now, along with great little cafes, restaurants, supermarkets with great stuff, and bookstores, close to transportation and easy to park in, close enough to the city, which is also still WORKING CLASS and has blue collar white italian and irish families for generations here who are very liberal and voted for the Kennedys and never make fun of the rock and rollers.

and there are more Chinese people than in China town, with young Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Cambodian, Brazilian, Colombian and Argentinian generations who come from blue collar roots and still get professional jobs and nice clothes.

and there are hair salons by and for black folks, spanish folks, and asian folks and the white folks have to travel.
ha!!

And even though it's mixed and fairly cheap it is not crime ridden. And even though its arty and mixed it is not expensive.

and I love Allston very much.

What a shame that the ONE ZIP CODE that can't be shoved into a stupid category by the PRIZM marketing system is being encroached upon by Harvard or not recognized.

Meanwhile, people live in former blue-collar housing (2 family and 3 family 70-year old wooden houses all jammed next to each other with no yards) in places like "Fresh Pond" Cambridge -- and still try to say they are really prestigious because they are now paying too much for them.

Can you tell my friend sue is getting on my last nerve?

Yahuh

[bklynhermit]

ven and raisingirl, i have the same confession.

except my loved upscale neighborhood is a currently-gentrifying one.

so not only do i have to be sickeningly conscious of the fact that, yes, i do like living in a fancy pants neighborhood, i also get to feel major white guilt knowing that 5-10 years ago, all these pretty little townhouses were inhabited by low and middle income people of color, and all these cute boutiques and sidewalk cafes were barbershops, corner groceries, daycare centers, and other valuable chunks of infrastructure for said working class community. and that everyone who used to live here then now has been pushed out to other crappier neighborhoods that don't have parks and trees and nice architecture and are further from the city center.

white guilt much?

[tyger]

i pick scabs

[venetia]

Ah Raisingirl, you share my secret! I feel guilty about it but the old-$ crowd are so relaxing and they smell so nice and get such good shops. The nouveaus I could do without, though.

Rent here is quite good (amazingly); it's the Movenpick and the wine prices that are the problem.

In a related piece of angst, I am also turning into a recluse and seldom leave the neighbourhood.

[aquagirl2]

PS. Misspissed, I think that problem is so ridiculously common that movies only show up on hotel bills as "movie" and not "the Witches of Breastwick." (which is on our Tivo right now.) I know my husband and 400,000,000 other businessmen (and some naughty, naughty women like you) order porn on business trips all the time. It's my husband's favorite part of a business trip.

[aquagirl2]

Confession: you guys are turning me on with all this naked laptop talk. Especially since I am about to get in the shower and I am butt-naked too.

My husband works from home and we have sex on the floor while he shouts into the speakerphone.

[zoya]

doodlebug -

sometimes when I work from home, not only am I totally naked (not even panties!) but I bring my laptop into the bedroom and never leave my bed.

If they only knew..

[doodlebug]

Sometimes, when I work from home, I am naked. Like I am right now. Except for my panties, of course.

[raisingirl]

Haha, Venetia! Yeah, I have a similar confession, only I live in an old-money section of my city, totally above my means, and I love it. I might have to move, but for the time being I love it here.

I still want a boyfriend, but I still like the mysterious allure of being single/available.

[culturehandy]

I son't really want a relationship, I just want to fuck my brains out. Really. I don't know what to do. All I think about now is having sex, all the fucking time. Now that I am not getting any. Gaaaaaaaaaaa. I got a new vibe, and it just isn't enough. I want SEX!
