			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey members,<br />I am looking to actually get this community happening. Since we've started this community I really haven't had the time to monitor it or spend time getting it active. I think think community has alot of potential and to me it has better options then facebook and myspace. The only thing is I can't do it alone. So I am looking for a couple people that I feel can be trusted and everyone likes. Someone that is very social and actually enjoys it. Someone that can create blogs and forum posts to get people interested in commenting. Also able to come up with ideas. Idea's like games, maybe some events held in the chat rooms or keeping people interested staying logged in. I for one will start adding interesting things like blogs and etc. If this interests you and regulars can vouche for ya I would be willing to give a couple people lots more mod and special options to play with. If this interest you and you think you have what it takes email me @ Usachatnow@aol.com and let me know. When emailing me please put in the subject of the email interested in community!<br />                              Thanks,<br />                               Tearsarefallen]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[&#42;Note...this blog will probably be taken down as soon as any admin or mod reads this because I'm speaking the truth.  If this is still up, continue to read this.  If you read my previous blog, you will know I was a member of this site for several years.  Recently, I came back after being unbanned for whatever reason.  However, the admins of this sited decided to ban me once again just because they felt deceived.  Apparently, you aren't allowed to go to other chat sites because they feel like they are being betrayed lol.  Like whiney, little babies, they have gone to other sites and tried to have them shut down because they can't handle competition.  This is just one reason why I choose to not come in as much or at least when I was able to.  This site, as I mentioned in my previous blog, treats their long time chatters like garbage just because you go somewhere else to chat?  Who really cares?  That's like telling people they can't talk to other people on phone because you're not talking to them in HERE.  People really do need to grow up and realize have friends elsewhere.  Since when is one NOT allowed to go where they want and talk to whomever they want?  Seriously?  This is one major reason why so many people have left this site because of the owners.  They can't stand the fact that people talk to other people at other sites.  Want to know WHY people do that?  Because they are former chatters as well from here who have been banned for the same reason or even dumber reasons.  If you feel like this site treats you fair, that's fine.  But just a word of advice again...don't take it too serious and don't get too comfortable here.  Before you know it, you will be banned because of the cry babies that run this site.  If they never unban me again, that's fine.  I actually have a life outside this place unlike many that come here!!]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I have been told by many they are true friends.<br />Yet, none have ever given me a definition of friend or they cant meet my terms as a friend. I dont know. However, I know the definition and will accept nothing less from my TRUE friends. <br />A friend will try and bail you outta jail. A good friend will sit with you in jail and say What a night. A best friend will give you unconditional understanding and support. They will never talk bad to you or about you, nor will they ever want to. So, if your a friend you decide what kinda friend you are. And if you decide your not a friend thats ok to. I have many enemies nothing like adding to the list of morons that can't cope with the realities of the worthless exsistance that you live. Anyhow thats my definition.The rest is for you to figure out]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded>recently i was banned for standing up for what i feel is right. However, others may not feel the same as me. I was given no explanation why i was banned other then being shoved around by someone with power. And I can accept that. Power is nothing more then some worthless god given right to talk down to or try and control others. I wont apologize nor will I accept their faults as my own. Their disrespect or lack of intelligence. I have met many good people on here, and some I can deal without. The internet is not my life nor do I care to make it my life. I beleive, I can make it through this worthless world goin the way I am going, can you. And as far as the owner of this site, an explanation of your actions i beleive is more needed then my apology, especially since I was leaving on my own accord.</content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[This story was written by someone I went to school with... the funny thing is I can actually see him doing this .. whether or not its true..only he can tell you ..<br /><br />Roping a Deer.... by Greg Mitchell<br /><br />I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed it up on corn for a couple of weeks, <br />then kill it and eat it. The first step in this adventure was getting a deer. I figured that, since they<br /><br />congregate at my cattle feeder and do not seem to have much fear of me when we are there (a bold one will <br />sometimes come right up and sniff at the bags of feed while I am in the back of the truck not 4 feet away),<br /> it should not be difficult to rope one, get up to it and toss a bag over its head (to calm it down) then <br />hog tie it and transport it home.<br /><br />I filled the cattle feeder then hid down at the end with my rope. The cattle, having seen the roping thing<br /> before, stayed well back. They were not having any of it. After about 20 minutes, my deer showed up &#8212; 3 of them.<br /> I picked out a likely looking one, stepped out from the end of the feeder, and threw my rope. The deer just<br /> stood there and stared at me. I wrapped the rope around my waist and twisted the end so I would have a good hold.<br /> The deer still just stood and stared at me, but you could tell it was mildly concerned about the whole rope<br /> situation. I took a step towards it...it took a step away. I put a little tension on the rope and then received <br />an education.<br /><br />The first thing that I learned is that, while a deer may just stand there looking at you funny while you rope it,<br /> they are spurred to action when you start pulling on that rope. That deer EXPLODED.<br /><br />The second thing I learned is that pound for pound, a deer is a LOT stronger than a cow or a colt. A cow or a colt<br /> in that weight range I could fight down with a rope and with some dignity. A deer&#8212; no chance. That thing ran and <br />bucked and twisted and pulled. There was no controlling it and certainly no getting close to it. As it jerked me <br />off my feet and started dragging me across the ground, it occurred to me that having a deer on a rope was not near<br />ly as good an idea as I had originally imagined. The only upside is that they do not have as much stamina as many<br /> other animals. A brief 10 minutes later, it was tired and not nearly as quick to jerk me off my feet and drag me<br /> when I managed to get up. It took me a few minutes to realize this, since I was mostly blinded by the blood <br />flowing out of the big gash in my head.<br /><br />At that point, I had lost my taste for corn-fed venison. I just wanted to get that devil creature off the end of<br /> that rope. I figured if I just let it go with the rope hanging around its neck, it would likely die slowly and <br />painfully somewhere. At the time, there was no love at all between me and that deer. At that moment, I hated the<br /> thing, and I would venture a guess that the feeling was mutual. Despite the gash in my head and the several large<br /> knots where I had cleverly arrested the deer's momentum by bracing my head against various large rocks as it <br />dragged me across the ground, I could still think clearly enough to recognize that there was a small chance that <br />I shared some tiny amount of responsibility for the situation we were in, so I didn't want the deer to have it <br />suffer a slow death, so I managed to get it lined back up in between my truck and the feeder - a little trap I<br /> had set beforehand ... kind of like a squeeze chute. I got it to back in there and I started moving up so I <br />could get my rope back.<br /><br />Did you know that deer bite? They do! I never in a million years would have thought that a deer would bite <br />somebody, so I was very surprised when I reached up there to grab that rope and the deer grabbed hold of my wrist.<br /> Now, when a deer bites you, it is not like being bit by a horse where they just bite you and then let go. A deer <br />bites you and shakes its head &#8212; almost like a pit bull. They bite HARD and it hurts.<br /><br />The proper thing to do when a deer bites you is probably to freeze and draw back slowly. I tried screaming and <br />shaking instead. My method was ineffective. It seems like the deer was biting and shaking for several minutes,<br /> but it was likely only several seconds. I, being smarter than a deer (though you may be questioning that claim by now)<br /> tricked it. While I kept it busy tearing the bejesus out of my right arm, I reached up with my left hand and pulled that rope loose.<br /><br />That was when I got my final lesson in deer behavior for the day. Deer will strike at you with their front feet. <br />They rear right up on their back feet and strike right about head and shoulder level, and their hooves are surprisingly sharp. <br />I learned a long time ago that, when an animal &#8212; like a horse &#8212; strikes at you with their hooves and you can't get away easily, <br />the best thing to do is try to make a loud noise and make an aggressive move towards the animal. This will usually cause them to back<br /> down a bit so you can escape. This was not a horse. This was a deer, so obviously, such trickery would not work. In the course of a millisecond, <br />I devised a different strategy. I screamed like a woman and tried to turn and run.<br /><br />The reason I had always been told NOT to try to turn and run from a horse that paws at you is that there is a good chance that it will hit you in the back of the head. Deer may not be so different from horses after all, besides being twice as strong and 3 times as evil, because the second I turned to run, it hit me right in the back of the head and knocked me down. Now, when a deer paws at you and knocks you down, it does not immediately leave. I suspect it does not recognize that the danger has passed. What they do instead is paw your back and jump up and down on you while you are lying there crying like a little girl and covering your head. I finally managed to crawl under the truck and the deer went away.<br /><br />So now I know why when people go deer hunting they bring a rifle with a scope so that they can be somewhat equal to the Prey.]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[this one is a rather shorter piece of information, nevertheless, very important<br /><br />The most common types of eye injury involve the cornea &#8212; the clear, protective "window" at the front of your eye. Contact with dust, dirt, sand, wood shavings, metal particles or even an edge of a piece of paper can scratch or cut the cornea. Usually the scratch is superficial, and this is called a corneal abrasion. Some corneal abrasions become infected and result in a corneal ulcer, which is a serious problem. Corneal abrasions caused by plant matter (such as a pine needle) can cause a delayed inflammation inside the eye (iritis). <br />Corneal abrasions can be painful. If your cornea is scratched, you might feel like you have sand in your eye. Tears, blurred vision, increased sensitivity or redness around the eye can suggest a corneal abrasion. You may get a headache. <br />In case of corneal abrasion, seek prompt medical attention. Other immediate steps you can take for a corneal abrasion are to: <br />&#183;	Rinse your eye with clean water (use a saline solution, if available). You can use an eyecup or small, clean drinking glass positioned with its rim resting on the bone at the base of your eye socket. If your work site has an eye-rinse station, use it. Rinsing the eye may wash out a foreign object.<br />&#183;	Blink several times. This movement may remove small particles of dust or sand. <br />&#183;	Pull the upper eyelid over the lower eyelid. The lashes of your lower eyelid can brush a foreign object from the undersurface of your upper eyelid.<br />Take caution to avoid certain actions that may aggravate the injury: <br />&#183;	Don't try to remove an object that's embedded in your eyeball. Also avoid trying to remove a large object that makes closing the eye difficult.<br />&#183;	Don't rub your eye after an injury. Touching or pressing on your eye can worsen a corneal abrasion.<br />&#183;	Don't touch your eyeball with cotton swabs, tweezers or other instruments. This can aggravate a corneal abrasion.<br /><br />and one last thing, do not stare into the cam when your favourite female chatter is showing you her tits, this causes straining of the retina, but i just suppose if they are big tits, you dont have to strain yourself,,,sit back and enjoy,,]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Choking occurs when a foreign object becomes lodged in the throat or windpipe, blocking the flow of air. In adults, a piece of food often is the culprit. Young children often swallow small objects. Because choking cuts off oxygen to the brain, administer first aid as quickly as possible. <br />The universal sign for choking is hands clutched to the throat. If the person doesn't give the signal, look for these indications: <br />&#183;	Inability to talk<br />&#183;	Difficulty breathing or noisy breathing<br />&#183;	Inability to cough forcefully<br />&#183;	Skin, lips and nails turning blue or dusky<br />&#183;	Loss of consciousness<br />If choking is occurring, the Red Cross recommends a "five-and-five" approach to delivering first aid: <br />&#183;	First, deliver five back blows between the person's shoulder blades with the heel of your hand.<br />&#183;	Next, perform five abdominal thrusts (also known as the Heimlich maneuver).<br />&#183;	Alternate between five back blows and five abdominal thrusts until the blockage is dislodged.<br />To perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) on someone else: <br />&#183;	Stand behind the person. Wrap your arms around the waist. Tip the person forward slightly.<br />&#183;	Make a fist with one hand. Position it slightly above the person's navel.<br />&#183;	Grasp the fist with the other hand. Press hard into the abdomen with a quick, upward thrust &#8212; as if trying to lift the person up.<br />&#183;	Perform a total of five abdominal thrusts, if needed. If the blockage still isn't dislodged, repeat the five-and-five cycle.<br />If you're the only rescuer, perform back blows and abdominal thrusts before calling 911 or your local emergency number for help. If another person is available, have that person call for help while you perform first aid. <br />If the person becomes unconscious, perform standard CPR with chest compressions. <br />If you're alone and choking, you'll be unable to effectively deliver back blows to yourself. However, you can still perform abdominal thrusts to dislodge the item. <br />To perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) on yourself: <br />&#183;	Place a fist slightly above your navel.<br />&#183;	Grasp your fist with the other hand and bend over a hard surface &#8212; a countertop or chair will do.<br />&#183;	Shove your fist inward and upward.<br />Clearing the airway of an obese person: <br />&#183;	Position your hands a little bit higher than with a normal Heimlich maneuver, at the base of the breastbone, just above the joining of the lowest ribs.<br />&#183;	Proceed as with the Heimlich maneuver, pressing hard into the chest, with a quick thrust.<br />&#183;	Repeat until the food or other blockage is dislodged or the person becomes unconscious.<br />Clearing the airway of an unconscious person: <br />&#183;	Lower the person on his or her back onto the floor.<br />&#183;	Clear the airway. If there's a visible blockage at the back of the throat or high in the throat, reach a finger into the mouth and sweep out the cause of the blockage. Be careful not to push the food or object deeper into the airway, which can happen easily in young children.<br />&#183;	Begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if the object remains lodged and the person doesn't respond after you take the above measures. The chest compressions used in CPR may dislodge the object. Remember to recheck the mouth periodically.]]></content:encoded>
