Family is never reliable. I just happened to have friends who felt more comfortable at my house than at home, and I had 4 roommates in a 2-3 bedroom house. Now, I'm down to 1 roommate, so lonely occasionally creeps in, but I've been having people over for game nights and such to counteract it.

World's first camel-milk chocolates going global Buzz up!150 votes Send Email IM Share Delicious Digg Facebook Fark Newsvine Reddit StumbleUpon Technorati Yahoo! Bookmarks Print By Tamara Walid Tamara Walid – Tue Jul 21, 1:24 pm ET DUBAI (Reuters) – Dubai's Al Nassma, the world's first brand of chocolate made with camels' milk, plans to expand into new Arab markets, Europe, Japan and the United States, its general manager said Tuesday. Martin Van Almsick said the United Arab Emirates company planned to enter Saudi Arabia first, followed by Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and the United States within the next few months. The company plans to enter the Saudi market in a month through a partnership with a Jeddah-based distributor, said Van Almsick, adding the company plans to deliver the first ton of chocolates to Saudi Arabia soon. Al Nassma is also in talks with British department store Harrods and San Francisco's Chocolate Covered to sell its products. Al Nassma was formally established in October last year and aims to produce 100 tons of premium camels' milk chocolate a year. In partnership with Austrian chocolate maker Manner, Al Nassma manufactures the end product at its Dubai facility. With 3,000 camels on its Dubai farm, the company sells chocolates through its farm-attached store as well as in luxury hotels and private airlines. It plans to launch an online shopping facility within a month, Van Almsick said. The farm is controlled by the Dubai government. The company is set to open its second store in the UAE in one of Dubai's large malls and is in talks with mall operator Majid Al Futtaim and others, he said. "We aim to be the Godiva of the Middle East," Van Almsick said in an interview. "It's a luxury product, so we will never be in supermarkets. The plan is to be in one mall in each UAE city." Al Nassma is also looking at the possibility of setting up a store in Japan, where demand for the product is high, he said. All chocolates are produced without preservatives or chemical additives with a range of locally popular spices, nuts and honey, the company says. Camel milk contains five times more vitamin C than cow milk, less fat, less lactose and more insulin, making it a good option for diabetics and the lactose intolerant, Van Almsick said.

Man claims he found condom in French onion soup Buzz up!175 votes Send Email IM Share Delicious Digg Facebook Fark Newsvine Reddit StumbleUpon Technorati Yahoo! Bookmarks Print Thu Jul 23, 3:26 pm ET SANTA ANA, Calif. – A man has sued a local Claim Jumper restaurant claiming he ordered French onion soup and bit into a condom instead of melted cheese. Zdenek Philip Hodousek filed the lawsuit Tuesday in Orange County Superior Court seeking unspecified damages over fears he may have contracted a disease. Hodousek's attorney Eric Traut said his client wants to have restaurant employees' DNA tested to find a match to the condom. A public relations firm representing Claim Jumper said no one can prove the so-called "foreign object" Hodousek took from the restaurant is the item that was submitted to a lab for testing. The firm said an internal probe revealed no employee wrongdoing.

40 more minutes and I don't have to be back to work in over 24 hours!

Sometimes you can solve that by simply going out and being around people. For a very long time I had to constantly have friends around to distract me from the loneliness that I was suffering post-breakup. It took months of piles of people in my house. The jokes about my house being a hippie commune or that I must be mexican (I love mexicans, I wish I had a little latin in me) were constant, but I wasn't used to being alone. I had to wean myself off of people. Now I can just happily distract myself with a new sewing project or a book. I learned long ago, that I can be completely alone in a crowded room with friends, and good friends are the hardest to find. But, the longer I don't date, the easier life is.
