The Questions not worth their own thread thread VII

[Atticus]

I got a feeling like my brain's missing, and have difficulties in thinking. I think I've had this feeling before, and it was then associated with some sort of hyperventilation (like right after intensive sprint). Is there a name or explanation to this feeling? Can there be other causes to it?

Hypoxia? Lack of oxygen to the brain can cause dizziness, light-headedness, lapses in concentration, euphoria, etc.. usually happens in low-oxygen environments - such as a submarine or aeroplane - but hyperventilation can do it.

Thanks! I was at the moment too dumb to try find it out myself...

 

[Mad Man]

Whats up with Windows 7, didn't they just pump out Vista?

 

[Dachs]

Vista came out in 2006.

 

[Mad Man]

That's still only three years ago, I just bought a new notebook this year and now I have to get another one? Bull poop I tell ya bull poop.

 

[Dachs]

The longest interval they ever had was four years, between xp and Vista. Dunno why this is news.

 

[Ulyaoth]

XP came out in 2001 didn't it? So 5 years about?

 

[Dachs]

Yeah, five years. That.

Well, I haven't mentioned this on CFC, but now realizing I don't care what you think I'll say it:
I was arrested at the beginning of August! An old friend of mine and I were in my car at a little after midnight. We were parked on a small street coming off a loop where some houses were being built, in what can best be described somewhere between the middle of nowhere and sort of somewhere. We were smoking marijuana, his stuff, his pipe, all that, when at about 12:30 a car appeared around a corner and headed straight to us. My dumb self started up the car to go, but the approaching car was a cop car so I was stopped, and yada yada yada, my friend had to call his parents to pick him up and got possession whereas I was taken downtown and had lot's of fun there, getting hit with DUI.
Now, that's a great story, obviously, but the questions not worth their own thread are:
1. Anyone know what to expect as far as punishment? I've looked, but almost all info is alcohol related.
2. I'd expect probation, but how often do they test? My court date is next week, how soon after that would it happen?
That's it really. I know there should be some sort of fine. An officer at the station said that if I take classes (ARD I think) that this will be taken off my record. This could be worse but obviously could be better, so any info about this is appreciated. I live in PA, fyi.

Does Penn have medical weed? Was it state police or federal?

How do you prevent gagging? I tried googling it but got a lot of stuff on oral sex

(BTW, it's because I have a terrible canker sore and I'm having trouble applying this really thick, awful-smelling medication the doctor gave me. I got the canker sore when I accidentally bit myself at the dentist.)

Ask your doctor?

Also how much were you found in possession of? If its a small amount and then you can convince them it was only for personal use and they won't be able to charge you with intent to distribute or anything like that. You will probably be charged with possession and paraphernalia if they have your pipe too. By the sounds of it their not taking it too seriously and the govt announced that it wasn't really perusing this sort of thing much anymore so I think you may be in luck.

You should avoid smoking in the car in the future. If you want to hotbox do it in the closet or in a bathroom.

From what I have gathered it is a 500 dollar ticket.

Take the class is you can and get it taken off your record.

If it is taken off of your *record, unless you are applying for a law enforcement position you will not be legally liable for not acknowledging it on employment forms and such.


* As in it will not come up in an employers background report.

Try applying it slower so that it isn't such a shock to your mouth.

We don't, and they were state.

Also how much were you found in possession of? If its a small amount and then you can convince them it was only for personal use and they won't be able to charge you with intent to distribute or anything like that. You will probably be charged with possession and paraphernalia if they have your pipe too.

The weed and paraphernalia were my friends, and he seems to be in a better position then I, having a DUI, which makes sense I guess. And while I have smoked in my car since it's been with much more caution then before, and I much prefer I'm not driving, or just not going anywhere, which is probably a smart idea anyway.

Right, well that doesn't sound too bad, and I do plan to take the classes. Will have to see what happens next week though.

You stole my joke, damn you!

aimee, the best way is to just toughen the hell up. The second is to spend a weekend in a hotel room with me. I'll pay for the rooms if you buy me airfare to Canada.

One of my friends is convinced that he's going bald, but I think it's a widow's peak. How do I differentiate between male pattern baldness and a widow's peak? Also its common to lose hair in the shower isn't it? Is that necessarily indicative of impending baldness?
Does wearing a hat every day or shampooing every day contribute to baldness?
