Type in "Failure" in the search box,

Just shows you how "Tolerant" and "Diverse" some people really are.

Why are all my friends Liberals? What the hell is my problem? The GOP is gonna take away my card, I just know it. There goes my shot at 2005 Republican of the Year!

Inks and I talked awhile ago. We talked some of the party going on in heaven tonight with all the reunions. Hard to be too sad when one thinks about all that.

You are in our thoughts and prayers Terry and Inks... it is always hard to lose someone you love. Your attitude is right on though... what a blessing to be free. We toast the party in heaven tonight :smile:

Well I'm back in the office today, started having a call at 11 to transition all of the work that I WAS doing to the TWO people that have to handle it now. We got 3 hours in and one of them freaked out and started screaming about how she can't handle this, the other one told her to relax, and now they're not talking to each other and I'm waiting for them to call me back. that was 50 mins. ago.

Rosie, they're going to offer a 2 for 1 rate on the introductory rate from that event, so if you go, you should be able to get 20 classes for 60 bucks, or split it with a friend.

Going in on the intro rate with a friend really works well - you motivate each other to go.

Also, Aikido is a martial art that is designed for smaller type people to take on bigger type people - that's what I'll be demonstrating on Saturday, I'll get thrown around by someone much smaller than I am from various attacks, like punches, grabs and stabs, and using weapons like knives and beer bottles. I'll get a whuppin, but you'll be able to see that you can deal with bigger and scarier people.

    When in doubt about a bug do the insect safety test. And follow these time tested rules.

    Always try to cook insects.

    Never eat bugs you find dead.

    Don't eat bugs that bite back!

    If it smells really bad, don't eat it!

    There you go, if you want to come down and give it a shot, it's definitely worth it to come with another person. The first month is kinda hard, but after the first month you get the hang of it.
