Lol, You’re welcome.. this is definitely my most useful blog entry so far
Efforts Appreciated
GR8888888888888888, information
great, man!! far more important stuff than the reams and reams of crap ppl keep adding wherever they get a chance
how about setting up a related reminder service for your visitors to register…. that would also be therapeutic for an amnestic mind
seriously, i think a reminder service like this will be a crowd puller…. and crowds ==> ads ==> untold riches.
what is use of dry day if any body want drink any body go friend house who keep in house liqour ,
in india law is for earn the extra money so it useless issue
please give list of counries which country do this law
Thank you …. Nice one !
Maybe you can make a google calender / ical file for download.
Thanks, @mazher – was actually going to do that, but got caught up with a lot of other work (as you may have noticed, with my otherwise scant blog) – hopefully will, soon!
Thanks for the info dude. also try to make list of days when there will be a drunk & drive catching program .
Lol, you’re welcome; but I don’t think I’ll be making a list for that – other than being almost impossible to make, I really don’t like drunk driving – don’t drive after drinkin.. Just call party-hard or summin.. http://www.partyharddrivers.com/index.html
