| Mother was wrong. I'm really not too smart for my own good. In fact, I'm doing my part to invert the bell curve. You can, too. The Life Extension Foundation has quite a thorough age-associated mental impairment protocol that is applicable to cognitive enhancement. The two "bibles" on nootropics, Smart Drugs and Nutrients and Smart Drugs II : The Next Generation, are available from amazon.com, and CERI has the piracetam chapter online. European drugs are available from overseas through Quality Health, InHome Health, International Antiaging Systems, and others. Other smart nutrients are available in the US from the Life Extension Foundation, Smart Basics, Smart Nutrition, and others. Discussions of all aspects of nootropics, including personal experiences, can be found in rec.drugs.smart. to Drugs by petey |

| So, you're in the middle of the chukkar and pull a flat. Dammit! But at least you didn't get a mallet in your spokes. Welcome to the world of bicycle polo, which has to be seen to be understood -- or perhaps not. Anyway, it looks like a fun way to tear up golf courses and football fields. to Sports by penth |

But how does she stack up against her competitors? In the hush-hush, wink-wink world of pseudoprostitution, it's difficult to get consumers to talk about what they pay for - unless you host a forum for anonymous commentary like Heaven or Hell, the consumer reports of "escort" services.
