    Acupuncture

    I love it. Seriously, for those nagging little aches and pains from all the abuse we heap on our bodies, this works. My mom's lower back started catching a few years ago whenever she leaned forward. Just doing little things, like laundry or kissing her ailing dad on the cheek, her back seized up. I took her to Dr. Wu several months ago, and it hasn't bothered her once since. A 'real' doctor told me I had tendonitis and to wear a brace on my right hand. Braces suck. I went to Dr. Wu, and the brace came off, never to annoy me again. Hey, THAT many Chinese people can't be wrong. Just don't go to a quack. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
  2. I need to get me some ocean front property in Arizona. Got some for ya'. Hell, I've even got this real cool bridge I'll throw in free... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

    Assertiveness

    OK, I can buy what you and Walt are saying, though I did not lose control. That would have involved a finger or two and a possible verbal exchange. So, what's assertiveness? Where's the line between zenly letting things go and being a "see-no-evil" passivist? I have this struggle every day. I NEVER confront people - today was about as extreme as it gets. How do you just not let things bother you? I don't think it's my nature - I get upset when I stand by and do nothing, but everyone always just blithely says "let it go". you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

    I didn't shout. I used sign language. Point to him, point to my eyes, point to me. Have a nice day, Mr. Van Driver. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

    Assertiveness

    I'm talking about those blue hanging signs that fully able-bodied people borrow from their not-so-able relative, just to avoid walking a few extra steps. If you can hop out of your car and be-bop into Walgreens with all the energy and vigor in the world, you don't need to take a space that a wheelchair accessible van would otherwise need. Don't worry, I don't just blindly assume that if they can walk they're not disabled... But if a person really needs to park there for their health, a brisk energetic stride is a bit suspicious... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

    Assertiveness

    I got out of the "woulda coulda shoulda" routine. By the way, let me just state for the record: I am a hypocrite. I am absolutely sure I flout the rules too. I'm trying to be better though. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

    Assertiveness

    I reacted to him blaming me for the avoided accident. I was where I was supposed to be, at about 10 mph. He almost hit me by not looking carefully in a tightly spaced parking lot, and backing - no lurching - out of his spot much faster than a reasonable "easing out" speed. It was quick. I wanted him to know HE was in the wrong, so I did. I know it's a little thing, not even worth a reaction. I guess I'm just getting fed up with ALL the little things everyday that people do out of a complete disregard for the little rules that were put in place to keep society from turning into an utter charlie foxtrot. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

    Assertiveness

    So, are you saying I was road ragin'? 'Cause I agree with your statement, and I was trying to be intelligently assertive... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

    Assertiveness

    I'm a wimp, but I'm trying to be more assertive. Today, as I was wending my way through a strip mall parking lot, this guy in a van was backing out of his spot - fast. I saw him, he saw me, we both avoided each other. As I looked back in the sideview mirror, I saw him gesturing angrily towards me. This pissed me off. I hit the brakes, backed up, opened my door and leaned out. I gave him instructions in sign language: YOU! WATCH!! ME!! Then I drove off. I felt good about it. I wasn't mean, I stood up for myself, but I didn't put myself in a position to be punched or run over. Most of the time, I let things go without a word, and then think about what I shoulda coulda woulda done... and that sucks. I'm starting on the non-handicapped-handicap-spot parkers and the 20-items-in-the-10-items-or-less-line standers next. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
  11. There's no gatorade to be had either. I'm gonna have to start a new thread about this. Could someone please explain to me why mail carriers no longer seem required to read the addresses on the mail they deliver? Out of 10 pieces of mail in my labeled mailbox, 2 are actually for us, 2 for our neighbors (whose adjacent mailboxes also have their names posted), 4 for people who haven't lived there in well over a year and a half if ever, and 2 pieces of junk. They don't even read the names!!! you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
  12. Yeah, but you can climb stuff for free. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
  13. Whoa! Cool! That would be perfect in a video too. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
  14. That's pretty much my favorite animal. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
  15. Well have yourself a Nathan's Famous Hot Dog with Frenchy's Mustard on it. That just made my stomach rumble very audibly. Seriously. I wish I could record this... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
  16. I am SO hungry. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

    That's how the saying goes. I didn't say that. The other SNL character said that. And where the holy heck is your other avatar anyway? We likey that avatar.
  19. Actually for a second I did, I've been trying to spend less time in there though... That's pretty funny! Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

    YOU said it was only a sin if you sniffed and it smelled really really bad. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
  21. What makes you think that because you work for a company that delivers gasoline that you have enough information to tell everyone that there's no gas anywhere? If one big oil company is short on gas, one of two things should soon happen: the rest will become short on gas, or Namgrunt's supplier company will pick back up to normal. He didn't say there's no gas anywhere. Why you gotta be jumping all over him anyway? Did you think you were in Speaker's Corner? you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

  24. Crazy though it may be, the thought of losing all my stuff was actually intriguing. I've got insurance. It'd be like cashing in my crap for replacement value and being free as a bird. Have toothbrush, will travel.
