I've been on dialup hell for 4 years.
I can't get anything else but direct way, and I cannot afford it.

i am starting to really think about upgrading my parents conection here to dsl or something similar........GOD THIS HOME COMPUTER SUCkS....i just bring my laptop in here and conect with that....at least it can handle all the programs i use.....this damn home computer can barely run aim while its running......and its a fairly new comp too....they got it within the past 2-3 years or so....which would probably make it obsolete by now.

Even to think of saying it's your girlfriend, you'd have to be somewhat obesessed with it. AND you say you fight with it.
Why don't you try and use commas when you're supposed to, or maybe capitalise things once in a while...?

dumbass, i didnt say exactly twice as much, i said ALMOST, read my post u ass. And shrooms doesnt effect u like lsd does, u know nothing about drugs i presume and i know alot of ppl who do lsd frequently and u wouldnt tell them apart from the rest of the world. Dont let the media and the government cloud out what is THE TRUTH!.

Dont let the media and the government cloud out what is THE TRUTH!. When we're talking with numbers like this, it's not almost twice as much. Honestly, I don't give a shit about drugs, I'm just not going to do them. So don't call me a dumbass when you're wrong anyways.

I dunno why my uploads so much faster than my download. The site said that I could tweak it to make it more even but the page wouldnt load or sumthin so I guess itll just stay that way unless someone else knows what I could do:confused:
