    That pic would merely be predictably amusing, but with the black socks...classic! _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    40.6 in a little over a month for me. If he can dedicate the time and has access to a plane, instructor, and good weather, he can save lots of time and big money by not having to re-learn things when the lessons are too spread out. Like I said, for a new student I think a flying club is a good way to go. In my experience, they offer nicer planes, better maintenance, collective knowledge base, etc...plus you save $$. Especially as a student, you will be flying alot, while most club members won't be. The monthly dues paid by the club membership offset the cost of flying the aircraft. At an FBO, you pay for all of it, plus profit. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    I think Chevy missed on that one, too much modern vette in the design. I've never been a big fan of the Mustang, but I think Ford hit a home run with the new/old design. I don't know anything about the performance, but the design looks fantastic to my eye. About the Hummer...my sister (who has a Phd. in Political Sociology) said, "Anyone who drives one of those things is a jackass". It really is a terrible vehicle. If you must spend that kind of money on an SUV with a crappy engine, at least buy a Range Rover; then you can be a pretentious jackass _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    That's about twice what I spent to get my PP ticket four years ago. Join a flying club and find a good independent instructor, you'll save some $$. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    I don't know if he did or not, but guys like Rove don't make uninformed decisions. He has complete access to classified and compartmentalized information. If he outed her, he did it knowingly, and he won't be held accountable. At best, he will have his security clearance revoked and resign with the appreciation of a greatful administration. What a bunch of thugs. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    Take her to do some kind of fun outside activity that she can participate in like goofy golf, a bike ride, etc.. The activity will ease the jitters and you can talk too. Then take her to dinner. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    I first saw this Pulitzer Prize photo in Life magazine many years ago. It's entitled The Soiling Of Old Glory for obvious reasons. The guy with the flag was demonstrating against desegregation in the Boston public schools, and the black guy happened to be walking back to his law office from lunch...it was just a few months after he returned from serving his country in Vietnam. It's not the prettiest picture ever taken, but I think it should be hanging in every classroom in America. Any others? _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    There's not anything wrong with it, but like in most situations, I think a girl wants her man to act like a man and do the asking. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    Me too, always in my lungs. So I have a related question.. Why do we all bring our hand to our mouth when we witness something very emotional. Whether it's delight, grief, beauty, horror, pain...whatever, it transcends language and culture. Why do we do it? _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    but I like it. So what is it I'm liking, electro/techno/hip-hop?? I have no idea what it's called, but it's pretty damn good. Someone enlighten me, what is it? _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    Dude, I feel your pain. When I was around 4-5, my Mom found a Brown Recluse in my sheets while making my bed, and I have been fucked up ever since. If I see a big one on TV, my chest tightens and I will look away. One of my college roomates tried to put one on me...I screamed like a little bitch and knocked the dog shit out of him without thinking. It makes no sense. I've freely risked my life at work and I'll show up tomorrow for more of the same. I've narrowly escaped death skydiving several times and I'm still doing it, but a little spider can freak me out. I guarantee you if a Tarantula crawled up on me and I could not move, I would pass out or have a heart attack. I don't mind killing them though. I figure if it's got eight legs, it's a motherfucking Tarantula and should die. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    WTF, I don't even like Pete! I must have been unclear. It's not so much that I (and others) want to avoid high-drama, it's more that it's a waste of time and I won't tolerate it. If I want to fight, I can go to work and get paid for it. Life is too short. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    At the risk of sounding condescending, Im going to guess that you are in your early/mid twenties. You might surprise yourself in the next few years or so, when your preference may shift from boys who will put up with that kind of stuff, to men who prefer to avoid it, unless we know it's just a short-term deal. For men, the volatility of "fighting, bickering, etc." equals drama, not passion, and the tolerance threshold for it in a relationship is inversely proportional to age. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    I thought I flunked it, I got a minus 30 (-30), and it said I have nothing in commom with women. On the bright side, if I were a chick, I'd be a lesbian! _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    An understatement indeed. An enlisted mid-grade/mid-career, extensively trained soldier serving in Afganistan or Iraq will earn 50K/yr at best. My skills are rusty and I'm older and slower; yet I can get a job paying 170K-300K/yr (tax free) as a contractor working and living along side these guys. Our soldiers deserve better. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    Get a job and pay for your beer and jumps like everyone else does. You may really need the money later. I know it sounds boring, but history shows that if you invest the 20K now, it will be about 300K when you retire. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    Absolutely dude. I've got an '01 2500 w/Cummins HO and 6-speed manual. I pulled a 12,500 pound fifth wheel camper 500 miles to Quincy and to several other boogies as well. I passed on the pimp options though, and even requested a vinyl floor instead of carpet. It's a BEAST. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    Ok, another one from the grocery store. After you've unloaded your cart of groceries into your piece-of-shit car full of toddlers with no car seats, don't sit your lazy motherfucking ass down and drive off like you forgot about the cart. Push the damn thing back to the cart recepticle thing that's right next to you!...and buy some car seats for those children dammit!! [Cartman voice] I hate lazy motherfuckers.

    In practical terms, I think African American means you're a black American. Would a white immigrant from South Africa call himself an African American? _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

    Dude, that was painful to read. Sometimes life does indeed suck ass. We have all been there my friend. My only suggestions would be to try and spend some time with your immediate (parents, siblings) family or with friends who truly care about you, don't listen to depressing music, go outside and do something fun, then go get laid by a chick better looking than the one who betrayed you. As for your best friend, he is nothing to you now, so don't kill him...prison sucks. Hang in there man. If you find yourself in hell, keep going. -- Winston Churchill _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
