Sarah after seeing some recent pics of Courtney Love 'clean and sober', I now think you should keep drinking alcohol and mabye start a little coke habit. These pics are real right?http://www.uselessjunk.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2097
I would like to apologize for my hateful posts on this blog. I post under many different names. Why would I say such mean spirited things you ask?I like girls but they don’t like me so when I see a chance to post hateful things to a smart attractive girl I can’t control myself. It makes me feel good to do it because I am butt ugly and live in my parent’s basement. It makes me even angrier when my mom embarrasses me in front of family and friends and asks me when I am going to find a girlfriend and stop spending my whole life in front of the computer.I now realize just how lame it is to go out of my way to be mean to girls. After all there is someone out there for everyone. There must be some big fatso out there that can love me. I hope so.
Sarah when I went digging and found the Sarah Lane post I also found you and some chick named Jessica showing off your newly gotten tattoos. What is the proper name for those tattoos that women put on their backside? Just curious.
Sarah after watching another show, here's another copy and paste...enjoy.The use of various substances to modify mood or behavior is generally regarded as normal and acceptable in our society. Many people drink coffee or tea for the stimulant effects of caffeine, or engage in the social drinking of alcohol. On the other hand, there are wide cultural variations. In some groups, even the recreational use of alcohol is frowned upon, whereas in other groups the use of various legal or illegal substances for mood-altering effects has become widely accepted. In addition, certain over-the-counter and prescription medications may be medically recommended to relieve tension or pain or to suppress appetite.
But when regular use of these substances begins to interfere with normal functioning, creating behavioral changes that would be undesirable to people from any cultural background, substance use has turned to substance abuse. As psychiatrists define it, a person has a substance abuse problem when they continue to use a substance--some form of drug, medication or alcohol -- despite the recurring social, occupational, psychological or physical problems such use causes. Such behavior is indicative of a mental disorder which can turn an illegal or a legal substance into a "drug" and which requires psychiatric medical treatment.
Substance abuse--the misuse of alcohol, cigarettes and both illegal and legal drugs and medications and other mood-altering substances--is by far the predominant cause of premature and preventable illness, disability and death in our society. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly 17 percent of the U.S. population 18 years old and over will fulfill criteria for alcohol or drug or other substance abuse during their lifetimes. When the effects on the families of abusers and people close to those injured or killed by intoxicated drivers are considered, such abuse affects untold millions more.
The annual cost of alcohol abuse is nearly $86 billion for treatment and indirect losses such as reduced worker productivity, early death and property damage resulting from alcohol-related accidents and crime each year. Alcohol intoxication is associated with approximately 50 percent of the nation's traffic fatalities and homicides every year. Drug abuse accounts for $58 billion a year in direct and indirect costs to business and the economy. Cigarette smoking has long been known to cause cancer and emphysema and heart disease, but quitting cigarettes is greatly complicated because most smokers declare that they would like to quit, but they have lost control of the habit. This is especially true of smokers who begin smoking when they are adolescents or young adults. The economic toll of these different forms of substance abuse amounts to over four times that of cancer and nearly a third greater than that of cardiovascular disease, according to a 1984 Research Triangle Institute report.
Among the disorders related to the misuse of these substances, a distinction is made between substance abuse and substance dependence. As related above, those whom psychiatrists and other mental health professionals would classify as "substance abusers" can't control their use of alcohol or other drugs. They become intoxicated on a regular basis--daily, every weekend or in binges--and often need the substance for normal daily functioning. They repeatedly try to stop the use but fail.
Those who are considered to be dependent on a substance suffer all the symptoms of abuse, with the addition that they have developed a physical tolerance for it, so that increased amounts are necessary for the desired effects. Opiates (such as heroin), alcohol and amphetamines (such as methamphetamine) also lead to physical dependence in which the person develops withdrawal symptoms when he or she stops use.Alcohol Abuse
While alcohol is considered by psychiatrists to be a "drug," for the purposes of this pamphlet its abuse is being discussed separately from that of other drugs.
The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD) and the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) define alcoholism as: A primary, chronic disease...characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking, most notably denial." NCADD and ASAM further say that by "disease" they mean "involuntary disability," and that the symptoms of alcoholism may be continuous or may occur periodically. Further, the two groups say that the development of alcoholism in a person is influenced by genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors, and that the disease of alcoholism is often progressive and fatal.
Social stigma has blocked the road to understanding of alcoholism more than with any other disease. Society has long viewed the affliction as a psychological problem alone--the sign of a ravaged soul devoid of discipline or morality. Physicians are inclined to ignore its symptoms and victims deny its existence.
Recent scientific breakthroughs, however, have begun to dramatically alter our views on alcoholism. The myth that alcoholism is a "psychological problem" is yielding under the weight of evidence that the disease has its roots in biological causes. This news holds significant hope for the estimated 15.4 million adult victims of alcohol, as well as the 56 million people directly affected by their alcohol abuse or addiction. Such discoveries may eventually lead to prevention or detection of the disease before its damage becomes irreversible.
The following characteristics of alcoholism leave little doubt as to the devastating impact of the disease:
* Alcoholism is a progressive disease that generally first appears between the ages of 20 and 40, although children can become alcoholics.* Drinking patterns vary by age and sex. At all ages, two to five times more males than females are heavy drinkers. For both males and females, drinking prevalence is highest and abstention lowest in the 21 to 34 age range. Among those 65 years and older, abstainers exceed drinkers in both sexes.* Alcohol dependence tends to cluster in families.* Alcohol dependence is often associated with depression. Depression typically makes its appearance before the drinking. Studies show that, among the general population, those with diagnosable depression are at a somewhat elevated risk for development of alcoholism. Among women, however, the risk is almost tripled.* Women seem also to be more sensitive to alcohol than men. When differences in weight are factored out, women still seem to get higher blood levels of alcohol from drinking--a fact that may increase their risk.* It takes five to 15 years for an adult to become an alcoholic; an adolescent can become an alcoholic, by contrast, in six to 18 months of heavy drinking. Younger alcohol abusers are also more likely to die of alcohol poisoning through hypoglycemia because their livers cannot metabolize the alcohol as efficiently as the adult liver.
Alcohol overdose itself may also be fatal.
* Generally, abuse occurs in one of three patterns: regular, daily intoxication; drinking large amounts of alcohol at specific times, such as every weekend; and long periods of sobriety interspersed with binges of heavy daily drinking that last for weeks or months.* As drinking continues, dependence develops and sobriety brings serious withdrawal symptoms such as delirium tremens (DTs) that include physical trembling, delusions, hallucinations, sweating and high blood pressure.* Long-term, heavy drinking can cause dementia, in which the individual loses memory and the ability to think abstractly, to recall names of common objects, to use correct words to describe recognized objects or to follow simple instructions.* Physical complications of chronic alcohol dependence include cirrhosis (liver damage), hepatitis, altered brain-cell functioning, nerve damage, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), premature aging, impotence and infertility, and a variety of reproductive disorders. Some researchers suspect the hormonal imbalances caused by alcohol dependence actually fool the body into shutting off its supply of natural opiates (endorphins). Chronic alcohol dependence also increases the risk and severity of heart disease, pneumonia, tuberculosis and neurological disorders.* Recent studies have strongly suggested that in pregnant women alcohol abuse has harmful effects on the development of the fetus' brain and other parts of its central nervous system, an effect known as fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). FAS is the leading preventable cause of mental retardation in children, and studies have shown that 8,000 American babies are born with FAS each year. Researchers are discovering biological markers that could eventually identify many potential alcoholics. Preliminary studies indicate that alcoholics are born with a faulty liver enzyme system that may lead to their addiction, an encouraging twist to the existing knowledge that alcoholics do not metabolize alcohol normally. Still other studies reveal that the majority of alcoholics have abnormal brain waves and memory impairments. This appears to be true of their young children as well, even though the offspring may never have been exposed to alcohol. This and other studies suggest that children of alcoholics are at increased risk themselves for alcoholism and addiction, as well as other psychological problems linked to the addiction's disruptive effect on family life. This makes children of alcoholics important targets for alcohol abuse prevention efforts.
Sarah I guess that comment at the end of the show explains that lost weekend...notice no pics posted on textamerica until Tuesday. Hmmm. Well I guess drunks hate to drink alone so I hold my glass up for you and BM. May you age prematurely and live happily ever after.
You people have no friggin clue. CLASSIC SARAH IS NOT SARAH.
SARAH DOES NOT READ THE POSTS.
This blog is being kept alive on life support. nothing personal here. Sarah just posts things that 5 million people have already found on the internet. You find better posts at a 10 year olds blog -**if that 10 year old gives us an interesting insight into themselves or this world we live in.
Hey me too, so when she deletes posts are you saying she is somehow doing this with a telepathic mind trick that allows her to spot the offending posts without having to actually read anything on the page?? Cool Trick .
Think about it, makes sense, Sarah wouldn't want a WHOLE blog entry dealing with that, as it is you little monkey turds are making way too big a deal about it.
Listen everyone just shut up about Sarah's alleged drinking problem. Hey its her life not yours so let her do whatever takes the pain away and make her happy. I mean who's promised tomorrow anyway? You could live the most moral life and get hit by a bus or worse, so I say live it up while you're still somewhat young. Premature aging? Hello she works in Los Angeles...a little nip here and tuck there and she's forever young. And what's so wrong with alcohol anyway? Lets see you try to sit through a baseball game or go out bowling or listening to someone drone on and on about linux and tech content without wanting to get wasted. Now that I've said my peace I wonder what's for breakfast this morning...gin or vodka...hmmm
here's a copy and paste of one of Sarah's heroes Hunter S Thompson. What a cool guy!
Since Hunter Thompson put a gun in his mouth and shot himself last week, I’ve been digging deep into the Internet and reading lots of articles about him. The first wave of stories commended his hard-punching, eye-gouging, “gonzo” style of insightful political writing in such books as “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” and “Kingdom of Fear,” and recalled with wonderment and affection his manic consumption of alcohol, LSD, cocaine, and enough other intoxicants to fill the Physician’s Desk Reference. A couple of days after the coroner came, many who’d known the man, or witnessed one or more of his countless binges, began to somberly note that he really had drunk, snorted, and dropped too many unforgiving things and such behavior wasn’t so amusing and admirable after all. But in none of the articles I’ve found has anyone said, “Hey, Hunter should have gotten help.”
That is amazing, and appallingly typical. If a guy gets a toothache he’ll dash to the dentist. A fever sends him scampering to the doctor. A rash drives him scratching to the dermatologist. Heart, liver, kidney, and stomach problems are also widely understood to require medical attention. But what about the human brain? It is easily the most astonishing organ in this solar system, yet it’s usually considered a body part unworthy of professional treatment. The essential problem is ignorance; most people still view the brain as a primarily psychic phenomenon and assume that common (even rampant) ailments like depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, and excessive anger should either be ignored or treated with more alcohol or cigarettes or, most admirably, by gnawing on the stick of righteous stoicism.
None of those will work. People whose brains have sentenced them to unrelenting depressive pain, generally because of an intrinsic chemical imbalance, must be treated medically. A guy like Thompson, who drunkenly barrels into public events, snorts coke in a thousand bathrooms, stands barefoot in the snow shooting guns in the middle of the night, hordes explosives, and repeatedly tells his wife that he’s considering suicide, is a guy who needs help. Perhaps his wife did suggest he see a psychiatrist. She should have insisted. Instead, the Associated Press quotes her as having threatened to leave him. His final act certainly wasn’t her fault. She couldn’t have saved him. Only Thompson had a chance to do that.
Binge-drinking is a definite beauty no-no! Excluding alcoholics, most women indulge in binge-drinking when (a) they don’t know their own bodily limits when it comes to alcohol; (b) they’re reeling from recent heartbreak and the numbing effects of alcohol is a welcome respite from anguish and pain; and (c) they’re trying to keep up with their guy-buddies on a drinking spree.
Well, if drink and drink you must, learn how to hold your own liquor for heaven’s sake! Some of the most disastrous relationships have been forged over alcohol. Ever heard of the saying “beauty is in the eye of the beer holder?” Truth is, too much alcohol affects your better judgment. Not only that, it loosens your inhibitions. So if you don’t want to wake up to the nightmare the morning after, if you think that the man seducing you with wine and whatnots isn’t good enough to father your child, stop drinking before you throw caution to the winds.
There are other reasons for knowing how to hold your own liquor. For one thing, it keeps you safe from being taken advantage of when your defenses are down. In other words, if someone tries to make unwanted sexual advances on you, you have enough muscle control to punch him in the face. Another reason is that most high level negotiations are often undertaken in more casual and relaxed atmospheres. Sometimes it can be over a round of golf, sometimes it’s over dinner and sometimes it’s over drinks. If you’re haggling over something and your business partner is still lucid after a round or two of drinks but you’re struggling to be coherent, I’m pretty sure you’ll miss out on the bargain. Then again, you might be too drunk to realize you did and still be a happy jocose fool after you’ve been had.
Save our skin
As for the occasional heartbreak, well, just remember two things: One, do it around friends who can take care of you and bring you home if you get drunk and, two, if you know you’re going to cry and drink at the same time, skip the mascara. Have you ever seen someone wearing mascara bawling their heart out? Those black tear streaks are not a pretty sight and you don’t want to scare your friends who have so gallantly offered their shoulder for you to cry on.
Another reason to be cautious around alcohol is skin damage. You probably know about how much damage UV rays can bring to the skin, but have you ever wondered what alcohol can do? Alcohol dehydrates the skin and strips it of its natural oils, leaving it dry, cracked, and peeling. Flushed cheeks that come with drinking is another side effect that may cause permanent damage. Alcohol causes blood vessels in the skin to dilate and carry more blood to the surface but when the pressure is too much, capillaries burst and the damage will have been done. If that’s not enough damage for you, binge-drinking can also result in bloodshot eyes and if the eyes are the windows to the soul, I’m sure after looking like a resident of Transylvania, you’ll head for the door instead.
Poor quality of sleep is another consequence of ingesting alcohol. Although in the beginning, alcohol is more likely to make you drowsy, after a few hours, a neurotransmitter known as norepinephrine is released giving you a jolt of energy that will interrupt your deep slumber. We all know how much we need our beauty rest and although it may seem you are off to dreamland sans the interruptions, these subconscious stopovers during your journey won’t give you the rest you need. Remember, we need at least eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. Hangovers are another matter. Drink too much and more likely than not, you’ll be waking up with a splitting headache. What’s more, you’ll be looking like you have a splitting headache. So much for being the fresh bloom of the morning.
Keep the weight off
Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol can also lead to weight gain. Each gram of alcohol contains seven hidden calories so do the math. If you drink just a tad (say three drinks), that’s around 600 calories. If you drink heavily (say five to six drinks), that’s around 1,000 calories! My advice? Stick to red wine, which contains around 100 calories every four ounces. It contains beneficial antioxidants, too, so you can enjoy your drink and watch your weight at the same time.
Other studies link excessive drinking of alcohol to increased aging. These studies indicate, however, that it is more of a matter how your body processes alcohol than the volume of your intake. Still, alcohol leaves toxic byproducts in the tissues that can speed up aging. What’s important is to keep alcohol intake to a moderate level. When you try to drink all you can like there’s no tomorrow, it’s not only your beauty that may be at risk but your liver, too.
So when you’re out drinking with friends, self-regulation of your intake is your best bet. Drink lots of water while you’re at it and try not to drink on an empty stomach because that magnifies the effects of alcohol. Stick to one drink (mixing drinks gets you drunk quicker) and make sure you’re over 18 before you decide to experiment. Last but not least, don’t drink and drive. Get a designated driver and make sure he/she stays sober for the rest of the night.
Hey Drinking Buddy:You are SO smart. SO Clever, SO insightful. Man, what a GENIUS you are. Too bad you have to compensate for yor teeny-weenie little weenie by stealing other people's work and using it to pick on a GIRL. Especially when you are lamely attempting to prove some innane "point" only YOU get. Like WOW... why didn't *I* think of that? I mean it's SOOO funny/clever/intelligent. You are a fine example of why inbreeding is discouraged here in America. Why don't you stop picking on GIRLS and get a life, you insipid, juvenile creep.
shhh JJJ! I'm trying to get the real Kevin Rose to come to the defense of Sarah like he did with Morgan Webb but dang I guess he really doesn't find anything wrong with what's being posted. Oh well I hope Sarah slept on her side and not her stomach just in case she threw up in her sleep.
See, Sarah DOES post in the comments section. She poted using the name "SORRY" above. It's obvious.
I think karma is somehow why she's catching all of this flak. She must've somehow done something to these people. Your guessing won't answer exactly what. Only they and she knows.
yeah james medicare ain't covering everything and she needs her heart pills. The clips are from the movie 'Kinky and Wrinkly vol 1' and she gets a good cut of DVD sales so everyone help her out please and buy the dvd. Thanks.
I haven't seen this picture yet. When I click the link I get a time out error. Mabey Its too busy. I am using Mozilla 1.8a6 which is alot like Fire Fox. I get to help beta test new stuff some of which might show up in Fire Fox! I suspect this Is nothing more than just a busy link so I will try again later. My Fire Fox broswer locked up on me and stayed that way but I also have IE, but that would me no tab browsing! Microsoft dosn't allow hacking either and Mozilla loves it!
Geez people, if you don't like what she posts why don't you- stop coming here?? There are millions of other blogs to visit! (Or, start your own and come up with the crap you think is better YOURSELF). I still like it here- and I gotta say I'm a little obsessed with the ragdoll. When you drag her through the clouds it's kinda Monty Pythonesque :oP
Sarah, um, just want to say that your the boob, no the bomb.....yea, the bomb....lol....your the best and like to say that keep on, keeping on.....tel you the trouth, everyones gone and you may be the only one left?..... give luck and all of you there....

Well, not the freaky rag doll thing but the Classic Sarah thing.
Hey if anyone has a good place to go for old screen saver torrents would you email me the link please?
Hey Sarah, don't take any guff from those swine =P

We all know how much we need our beauty rest and although it may seem you are off to dreamland sans the interruptions, these subconscious stopovers during your journey won’t give you the rest you need. Remember, we need at least eight hours of uninterrupted sleep. Hangovers are another matter. Drink too much and more likely than not, you’ll be waking up with a splitting headache. What’s more, you’ll be looking like you have a splitting headache. So much for being the fresh bloom of the morning.
Keep the weight off
Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol can also lead to weight gain. Each gram of alcohol contains seven hidden calories so do the math. If you drink just a tad (say three drinks), that’s around 600 calories. If you drink heavily (say five to six drinks), that’s around 1,000 calories! My advice? Stick to red wine, which contains around 100 calories every four ounces. It contains beneficial antioxidants, too, so you can enjoy your drink and watch your weight at the same time.
Other studies link excessive drinking of alcohol to increased aging. These studies indicate, however, that it is more of a matter how your body processes alcohol than the volume of your intake. Still, alcohol leaves toxic byproducts in the tissues that can speed up aging. What’s important is to keep alcohol intake to a moderate level. When you try to drink all you can like there’s no tomorrow, it’s not only your beauty that may be at risk but your liver, too.
So when you’re out drinking with friends, self-regulation of your intake is your best bet. Drink lots of water while you’re at it and try not to drink on an empty stomach because that magnifies the effects of alcohol. Stick to one drink (mixing drinks gets you drunk quicker) and make sure you’re over 18 before you decide to experiment. Last but not least, don’t drink and drive. Get a designated driver and make sure he/she stays sober for the rest of the night.
I think karma is somehow why she's catching all of this flak. She must've somehow done something to these people. Your guessing won't answer exactly what. Only they and she knows.
This place has become the projects of internet blogs.
About that, uh... thing, I don't really like it. I think she's too easy.
