Do you want a new you?

Here is a course for those of you striving to maintain or develop your beauty, sex energy and who knows what else. I haven’t taken this course but since this seems to be a popular topic, here it is.

My advice, again reminding you I did not take this course, is to be discriminating taking those aspects of the course might apply to you and leaving the rest for others. Remember different people have different concepts of beauty and different people react differently to treatment, diets, and cosmetics traditional or herbal.

Three weeks to a new you!

Learn Visual Basic

“The course is presently built around the online version of Greg Perry's book, Teach Yourself Visual Basic 5 in 24 Hours. This doesn't really mean anyone can complete the course in a single 24-hour day, however. Students who have little programming experience can expect to spend between 1 and 2 hours on each lesson, including the time for doing the hands-on examples and exercises. Typical completion time for the course is about 1 quarter, or 12 weeks.” From course intro.
