Do you want to make money? All you need is six bucks , six stamps , a pen and 20 minutes of your time. This is not a scam, this is the real thing. YOU CAN MAKE MONEY! I am not someone who does this kind of thing unless it is legitimite. I invested the measly $6.00. Well GUESS WHAT!!... within 7 days, I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made $25.00. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6 stamps, I have spent more than that on the lottery!! Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, why it works....also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. STEP 1: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL! Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

#1) Moressa 1701 Broadway SAC 350 ICCB Seattle, WA. 98122 #2) Laurel 835 Myrtle Ave. Watertown, NY 13601 #3) G.B.S. 3249 N. El Tovar Tucson, AZ 85705 #4) J.R. 15 Cedar Pond Drive Apt. 3, Warwick, RI 02886 #5)Andrew ; 5 James St.; Nashua, NH 03060 #6)J. Bell ; 6220 N.W. 173rd St. Apt. 711 Hialeah, FL 33015

STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 6 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there are close to 24,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! ---DIRECTIONS -----HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS------------ Step 1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the computers memory. Step 2) Open a blank 'notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so that you can add your name to the list. Step 3) Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to. Step 4) Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.) Step 5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with your first one! Congratulations...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroupes and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!!

BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** That's it! You will begin reciving money from around the world within days! You may eventually wany to rent a P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now there is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200 letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With a original investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6 again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! So can you afford $6.00 and see if it really works?? I think so... People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work!!

You know, I was going to delete this thread, but I vastly prefer the idea of turning it into a place to talk about yeast infections. Anyone got one? Tried the yogurt cure? Do you get them when you're on antibiotics? Any secrets for avoiding them?

Discuss. And Jason: fuck off. Use someone else's board if you want to spam.

Yogurt? And I thought the girl was just being kinky. I guess the surgical gloves and extra long spatula should've tipped me off. No wonder she didn't want me eating the fruit off her bottom.

-- Anonymous, April 24, 2001

You know, I am just getting over pneumonia, so they put me on two rounds of wicked antibiotics. I ate several tubs of yougart (was actually one of the few things I could stand to eat), and no yeast infection.

I also made this great pineapple ambrosia with regular plain yougart:

2 Cans chunk pineapple 1 smaller can crushed pineapple 1 small can mandarin oranges 1/2 cup coconut 1 container yougart

Mix. (Optional ingredient is marshmallow, but I'm vegetarian, so none for me.)

Very good... you can also add cherries, or nuts, or whatever tickles your fancy.

And if it means no yeast infection, I'm all for it.

Yep, eating a lot of yogurt is a good way, apparently, to fight them off. Somehow i have never (knock on wood, of course) had a yeast infection. However, i once read in a teen magazine that moisture is a problem, which is why you shouldn't sit around in a wet bathing suit if you can help it. Obviously, if you're lying around after swimming, you're not going to change clothes back and forth, so i never paid attention to that one but (God, the things you'll admit online) they also suggested that you use a hair dryer on the low setting to make sure you're dried well after a shower.

I read that when i was 14 and was just starting to hear friends talk about yeast infections. I was determined to not get one too, so out came the hair dryer.

It's really not something you ever want to be caught doing because it could be a little hard to convince a smartass boyfriend that you're not "styling" yourself, but it does seem to work.

Isn't it a certain type of yogurt that you're supposed to eat? I remember a friend of mine having to go to Whole Foods to get it when her doctor recommended the stuff for recurring infections. No, I don't mean strawberry vs. lemon, or a certain brand. Acidophilus, or something? Regular overprocessed yogurt from the corner grocery won't do. And yes, you eat it. This isn't The Road to Wellville y'know.

-- Anonymous, April 24, 2001

You know, the person who told me about the yogurt thing specifically said she did NOT eat it. I always wondered if she was doing it wrong.

Pardon me while I have a little snicker. I never liked her very much.

-- Anonymous, April 24, 2001

I have heard people touting not eating the yoghurt but uh, putting it where the infection is.

I had a yeast infection once and tried eating yoghurt, acidophilus pills, those evil OTC creams (the ones for foot fungus that they use for yeast infections too, gross) that are really more painful than they are worth -what is in them, rubbing alcohol and jet fuel? Nothing helped for more than a few days until my doc gave me one of those magic pills (Diflucan) that you take once and bam, all better. I hope it never happens again....and I live in fear that it will. I feel so bad for chronic yeast infection sufferers.

Jette! Where have you been girl? I'm still looking for someone to bitch at me all day, use sex as a weapon and give me a reason to want to go to work. Interested?

Actually, we'd go well together Jette. You, a green side salad with freshly squeezed lemon and coarse black pepper. I, a thick cut still pink in the middle T-bone. You, a mug of bitter ale. I, a southern style glass of sweet iced tea. You, a steaming pile of fresh cut sour Granny Smith apple wedges in a shallow crystal dish and I, the cool, savory sweet vanilla ice cream accompaniment sliding over you. Mmmmmmmm...

For the reals, I would love to be with someone that really knows how to write (you). I always need help with grammar and spelling and structure and content. It would take somebody effecient, capable of quickly digesting and massaging things that pop out at and glare at her. A personal tutor willing to plug away with me day after day into the wee hours of each night or until exhaustion overwhelms our shaking weary bodies.

I couldn't help but laugh when I read about the yogurt thing because it reminded me of one the times when I made a complete dork of myself at work. I work at a doctor's office where the doctors make house calls. Most of the patients are elderly who are home bound due to their medical conditions. Since the doctors aren't ever really in the office, the nurses field most of the calls from patients complaining of ailments and wanting to know what they should do until the doctor can see them. One older woman called complaining that she had a yeast infection. The nurse told her to try yogurt. I, too, thought that you were to apply yogurt to the infected area so the mental picture of an 80 year old woman, a yeast infection, and yogurt was just too much for me. I giggled like an immature school girl between bouts of gagging until the nurse asked me what was wrong. I explained the mental picture and she just lauged at me and then explained that you EAT the yogurt. I still get hell about that at work.

See, I hate messing with anything "down there", so you would think it would be a problem, when I have a yeast infection, but what I do is make the husband snack out on the Yoplait, and then (ahem) snack on me. Works like a charm, every time. He makes a very efficient yoghurt delivery method.

Please, no one tell him I am supposed to eat the yoghurt, for the cure. My little method is working just fine, as far as I am concerned.

Jette, all you have to say is, "I luv you too, rudeboy." And cry a little when you do it. It gives a guy awarm feeling when a gal gets flushed while her eyes brim with tears and her lips plump up and contort into a half trembling smile / half quivering frown (I call that the blubberface). No guessing about the blubberface. It's one of two things. The emotions pour through her whole body and you know, either you've made her very happy or she's mad as hell. You just hafta remember, when she's holding the knife, that's the mad one.

Then, you move in with me, have yogurt sex until we're both sore and live happily ever after.

I'll tell you about that pyramid scheme -- it is absolute 100% NOT legal. See what the FTC has to say, or get info from the Better Business Bureau. And if anyone would like to file a complaint against Jason, you can do it here.

For anyone who cares, this is the explaination I've heard for why yeast infections occur and why different therapies work:

Vaginal canals have a natural balance of yeast and bacteria and yeast infections occur when yeast overrun the bacteria. This explains why most women either get yeast infections after their period (yeast especially like tampons) or after taking antibiotics. The medications kill off excess yeast and yogurt replaces bacteria (eaten or inserted).

This thread is giving me a powerful deja vu. Didn't we turn a stupid entry into a yeast infection thread once, years ago? Can't find it if we did, but I have such a strong memory of this happening once before.

You're thinking of this one, Tom. Jeremy posted a test message about a network server, and we turned it into a discussion about tampons. Unlike Jason (who only signed up for daily e-mails), Jeremy was getting instant notifies. He was so happy to find his mailbox full of tips about tucking the string. Really, really happy.

-- Anonymous, April 26, 2001

Uh, while never having to use this method myself, thanks to Cosmo or some similar trashy magazine, I know that one good way of yoghurt application to your bits is to dip a tampon in the stuff and whack it in that way. Meant to be quite successful.

cheers!
