I just wanted to warm anyone who even bothered to check out the websites and awed at jaw dropping prices, DONT BOTHER!!!! Its a scam! I have indeed bought 2 bathing suits that arrived securely. However I was looking to buy mac eyeshadow palettes that was supposed to be $8! Sounded amazing till i asked about shipping prices. They claimed the total would be $65! I dont know about you and i know china is not right next door but $65 for a pallet at less than a pound is completly out of hand! They claimed shipping is high because EMS charges by gram however when i asked to add a tiny mascara the total was $145. Now thats ridiculous. The mascara weighs 10 times less but cost more. And they try to convince you that you’re saving money on shipping prices. One time they never even gave me what I ordered a month passed by and the guy was all nice until i gave him my payment then he deleted his account and i never heard of him again! Im working with the bank thats having a hard time tracing this guy. Alibaba has a few genuine sellers but a bunch of scammers as well. They robbed my friend $1000 for a Flatscreen and clothing. Instead they never sent it and the guy deleted his account as well! TOTAL SCAMMERS! Shipping from China is not that expensive either no offense to asians but most Chinese companys I been running into are completly scamming everyone I know. Please try ordering from withing the US it is so much more secure, easier to contact sellers, and shipping prices are way less. Seriously for anyone considering a purchase from either websites really turn the other way. If you insist on still going through with it look at the red flags!!!!

1. The prices are ridiculously unicredibly low. I mean $0.99 for a Fendi bag please!

2. The shipping costs are ridiculous. Anything weighing less than a pound and costing more than $15 RED FLAG

3.CHINESE SELLERS!!!!

4. They avoid direct questions. They switch topics or what they tell you makes no sence and is poorly worded as if there are no grammer skills.

5.Read the posts that other put on their pages although they usually delete the bad ones there are usually a few missed from buyers wondering why they still havent received their items

6.They all have the same exact pictures with other sellers of the same exact items. For example 5 differen sellers with different names but they all sell that pair of pants on the exact yellow table in the back ground with a green cucumber be for real

7. They claim that theyre businesses and have other sites but however they are on at times that chinese businesses are closed like 1 am.

8. There are chinese letters all over pictures of their products, several chinese lettering on their page, and they have an asian screename but claim to be from within the US.

Hopes this helps all those that thought it was too good to be true. Dont get me wrong there are some genuine sellers. But ask many questions before purchases. Ask about their policies, returns, how they determine the shipping costs. Look for anything fishy or that tells u thats just not right.Iif you still insist on the purchase heres one more tip make ur purchase through paypal if they cant always stop it, at least when you file a fraud claim. They will be in charge of returning your money in full instead of having to locate some unknown stranger!

I totally think it’s fake even after looking at his feedback (http://myworld.ebay.com/hdh02). But if he sent me the money in paypal and I transferred it to my bank then sent him the iPod Touch could I still get scammed?

sura 2:85 states that if you believe in only part of the quran, you will suffer in this life and will go to hell in the next; sura 2:122 ”o” children of israel [the jews]! call to mind the special favor which i [ allah]has bestowed upon you, and i prefeer you to all other nations; sura 5:70 the table; we [allah] made a convant with the israelites and sent forth apostles among them; sura 57:26 ”we sent forth noah and abraham and bestowed on their offspring [ the children of israel ] prophethood and scriptures [ the torah]; sura 17:104 and thereafter allah said to the children of israel; dwell securely in the promised land [isreal]] and when the last warning will come to past, we will gather you togather in a mingled crowd. here are just a few more like the ones mentioned suras 5:12; 5:70 7:159 3:187. if allah promised the jews israel why do some say they must be removed from the promised land that allah gave them in several suras?

quran 17:104 and thereafter allah said to the children of Israel [the jews]; dwell securely in the promised land[ Israel]. and when the last warning will come to past, we will gather you in a mingled crowd. ; so how many muslims will allah send to hell for trying to expel the jews from the promised land of israel that allah promised to the jews?

My phone flashed displaying that a message had come through. I flipped it open and saw that Tristan had sent a text.
I’m out the front.
I wet my lips with my tongue and stared down at the words on the screen. Running fingers through my fringe I slipped on some shoes and walked in silence through the house. Opening the front door I stepped into the night and spotted Tristan sitting at the end of the driveway. As I approached he turned and stood up with deliberation, holding his head high as we made eye contact. I stopped in front of him and crossed my arms.
“What do you want?”
Tristan wrapped a hand behind his neck and smoothed his foot across the ground in a nervous circle.
“What do you want?” I repeated more forcefully.
He let out an impatient huff and swung his arms by his side. “I’m sorry Ben.”
I nodded my head slowly as the back of my throat tightened. “I don’t believe you.”
“Awe Ben, come on. I meant no harm,” he said easily with a ready smile.
I held my face in my hand willing myself not to cry.
“Don’t be a queen Ben, you know I love you.”
I narrowed my eyes at him and swallowed repeatedly as my emotions threatened to overwhelm me.
“Follow me,” I croaked and brushed pass him, heading down the road.
I didn’t look back but knew that he was close behind. I led him to the local park which was shrouded black apart from the lamps lining the main pathway. We came to the small brick building housing the park toilets.
“Ben, what are we doing?” Tristan asked with complaint.
I turned on him and grabbed the front of his shirt, my lips meeting his firmly. Tristan tensed but soon relaxed into my embrace and pushed into me greedily. As his hand slid down my stomach I pulled back and slapped him firm across his cheek.
Tristan wheeled back and gave me a look of anger and shock.
“What in the -”
“Don’t pretend you love me,” I shouted, stepping toward him.
“Fuck Ben,” he said, looking as if I’d gone wild.
I beat a fist to my chest. “Do you know the pain you caused?” I asked my voice thick.
“I’m out of here,” he said and turned to leave.
I grabbed his waist and pushed him up against the brick wall behind me. “You think you can use me like that? Treat me like that?” I hissed into his ear.
Tristan twisted roughly in my grip but I pinned him securely with my hands wrapped around his wrists.
“Get the **** off me,” he yelled.
“I want you to know what it’s like to be used.”
I snaked my hands around his waist and began to unbutton his jeans.
“Ben, stop it,” He cried trying to push me away.
“Do you know that my dad hates me now?” I asked through clenched teeth, “that my mum won’t even look at me?”
“Please, I’m sorry,” he pleaded, his voice rising.
His pants came off and I backed him to the wall. “I will use you.”
“Don’t do this Ben,” he said, still trying to escape me.
His hands clawed at my own and he tried to kick my legs away, but with a sudden rush of pure hatred I entered into him roughly. Tristan cried out and his body flattened against the wall. I pushed against him hard, ignoring the sobs and his shaking frame.
“Now you know how I feel.”
And yes, it is a story of a young *** man, and this is a **** scene.
I hope you can handle two major taboo subjects in one lol

I have a brand new refrigerator (bought today) by LG. We noticed there was a metallic sound when the door was opened abruptly or when the fridge was pushed forward and backward. Looking and listening in the back it is something within the compressor that is loose enough that is banging in the inside. The compressor is securely mounted.

The store is sending someone tomorrow to look at it, but I want to be ready if they tell me that “it’s fine”. The fridge is cold and appears to be functioning okay. My concern that this is a fundamental problem that will get worst. I’ve read that there are springs within the compressor casing that could be loose or broken. I’ve also read it could be a bad seal that will corrode overtime and destroy the entire refrigeration system.

I changed my settings within 24 hours after the new security settings were announced (most changes on the Advanced tab in Outlook Express), probably two years ago, yet regularly, like clockwork, I get an email message from Yahoo Mail that is pasted below.

I rechecked my settings with the instructions and there is nothing else I can update – it is all correct. The messages keep on coming.

I contacted customer service several times, probably 4-5 times or more, and they rechecked my settings for me. There was nothing else I could change – it was all correct. Yet the messages keep on coming.

I filed the “abuse email” form, and finally one customer service rep told me to just ignore the messages because clearly there is nothing else to update and she had no idea why I would receive them. And they still keep on coming, every few weeks.

I wonder if this is a message that Yahoo sends out to everyone, like a broadcast message, because my settings were updated even before I started getting these messages. Is there anyone else annoyed like me by these pesky repetitive messages? Please let me know.

I am wondering if there is a place where 2 people in different places can send letters to each other. A place that will securely and indefinately hold the letters for a fee.

I’m writing a science fiction book titled “The Hidden” and I’d like some feedback. I’m only going to post the first chapter on here, but if anyone wants to read more, here’s the link. http://www.webook.com/project/The-Hidden

Chapter 1 (Just Run)

I stared across the black room into the eyes of my love. It was the first time he looked up at me since we got down in this cursed basement. It was the first time he looked up at me for what I counted as three weeks. I could barely see his face in the dim lantern light. Things have never been the same since they came. Still, I know there’s nothing I can do to change the fact that they’ve invaded. Time had seemed like a big thing since then. There was a rustle in the corner next to me and my head flew to the sleeping bag. Melissa. I crawled to her side and pulled her in my arms before she could start screaming for mom and dad again. I didn’t want her to bring them to us. She wrapped her lanky arms around me as I hummed a random tune.

The paper in my hand crumpled as a tear ran down my freckle infested cheek. After these past two months, I’d believe anything to be possible and real. To find out they exist, to find out they are here on the same Earth as me, was all too unbelievable. It isn’t anymore. I looked down and unraveled the ball of paper. It was hard to read in the gloomy light and I could barely make out the words. I still had an imprinted image in my mind. It said, “They’re coming. Find somewhere safe and dark. Don’t make any loud sounds don’t make any swift movements. I’ll find you . . . if they haven’t already. Stay hidden.”

My father signed that note. I was led to believe that my dad departed this life in a plane crash. I read the newspaper with the crash. It was dated January 18, 1990. That was the year I was born and my dad was the pilot. There were supposed to be no survivors. The thing that blew me away was the dating on the letter. It was sent on January 18, 2009. Exactly nineteen years after his crash. Either that was a coincidence or that date had a far bigger meaning than I ever could have imagined.

While I hummed, Bobby scooted closer to me. I shuddered at his cold fingertips that caressed my shoulder. Somehow, it felt good. It made me feel safe. I liked the feeling that I had so easily forgotten in three weeks. After finally getting close enough to me, he wrapped one arm securely around my neck and I leaned into his chest. I heard his breathing. Slow and steady. Slow and steady breathing brought back many memories. Some were not the best. I trembled at the memory of that night. I sighed heavily when he stopped and continued humming. Things weren’t exactly worse than ever. The worse act about what’s been going on is it’s been tearing me further and further away from Bobby. It hurts that he couldn’t even look at me until three weeks later. Everything was so messed up. So many people had been lost. So many meanings had drifted off . . .

The next minute, Bobby was shushing my humming and pointing above. My head darted to the ceiling and I heard it. It was the faint sound of dress shoes flicking against the wooden floors. They were here, in the house. I was about to panic, but my instincts have gotten better.

“How did they find us?” Bobby mouthed to me. I shook my head in bewilderment.

I moved closer to Bobby and pointed to the wall rear us. There was the tiniest ***** of light. He nodded and walked slowly to the stairs that led to the first floor. I motioned for him to come back, but he put his finger up at me, making me fall silent. I stared at Melissa and moved toward her. I could hear her whimpering and murmuring in her sleep. Surely, if I could hear it, so could they.

“Mel. Mel, wake up. We have to move Mel. Now, wake up!” I hissed and she leapt up, darting her head from side to side. Her eyes gaped at me, wide with horror as she apprehended what was going on. “Mel, help me over here.” I walked over to the ***** and there was a latch.

I gripped one side right before Melissa got the other. It was stuck at first, but after a few pulls it started to come loose. Using all our effort, we gave one last tug. Finally, it gave way, making a loud crash.. Bobby’s head darted in our direction and the movement upstairs stopped.

After not twenty seconds of being frozen in place, the sound upstairs resumed, louder this time. It was coming in our direction. They were coming downstairs. The Hunters. My heart started pounding in my chest and I stared at Bobby, questioning what to do. There’s no way we could get away from them. They’re too fast and too strong. We’d need the car to get away. The problem about the car, it was half a mile away. Surely, they’d catch up to us before then. It was ******* just trying to run. Still, it would be ******* sitting here and waiting for them to come and get us.

“Bobby!” I hissed, quickly. “There’s no way we can all get away on foot, but if we can jus
