  1. Sorry to spoil the fun, but it's not true: http://www.snopes.com/politics/crime/homeinvasion.asp I'm all for young kids defending themselves by whatever means are required, but false stories don't help that cause.
  2. How right you are! It's like a parade. The only thing missing is the cotton candy. And, hopefully, the clowns.
  3. Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but it looks like a pull out to me. Plus, if you're having trouble with hesitation, now, would you want the same hesitation with your container open?
  4. About 20 regulars. Some more regular than others.
  5. It's German for "Cause the Death of Skydiving." Just kidding, Virgin Burner.
  6. I prefer to see men like my middle son who volunteered in 2003 to go to Afghanistan. Yep, Sgt Drew Phelps, skydiver? Yes! Entitlement brat? Hardly. Tell him we appreciate him.
  7. Don't be discouraged. This is a problem everyone has had to deal with.
  8. I can relate to that!! Andy is right. THe tunnel is best, but if you can't get there...... Lay on your stomach on the floor and rest your feet on a chair or couch. Practice applying different levels of pressure on the chair with your toes. Alternate this with touching your toes together. (which you can also do in freefall)
  9. When I'm in that situation, rather than think I have to "hide" it, I prefer to think of it as being none of their business and I'm not going to give them the opportunity exert their narrow-minded attitudes.
  10. [replyI don't believe the story as anything but a modern parable either, yet I disagree that it's a silly way of thinking. It's only silly if you can't see the perspective of the Holocaust survivor. C'mon over to our place. Happy to show you what the US Government has consistently done to our culture and race. Our/my perspective is one you'll likely never grasp because you haven't existed in this environment for any length of time. But you'd probably think the majority perspective here is "silly." Incidentally, wouldn't you agree that most news today is second hand? It's only not silly if his claim that we are living in the prelude to the next Holocaust is accurate. Do you really think that's what we are living in? Yes, I agree that most news is second hand info, at best. Can't argue with your last point, either. I don't think it's silly at all.
  11. Can anyone provide a credible source for the above George Bush quote? Washington Post The Guardian (UK newspaper) Calcutta Telegraph San Francisco Chronical Hank Roth

    Is there "honor" in torturing someone that can defend themselves? If it's just a movie, why do you sound so put out with them?

  15. I'm going to collect all these comments and send them to my boss.
  16. That's some funny stuff.
  17. Well, I guess moving to Modesto is not such a great idea. Thanks everyone!!
  18. HEY!! This is important stuff, here!!
  19. I have an opportunity to move there. I've been there, and was not all that impressed with the town itself, but loved California. The good part is that it's roughly halfway between the mountains and the ocean, only 2.5 hours from Yosemite. The best part is that it's less than an hour from Lodi. If you live there or have lived there, do you like it? Would you move back? Most importantly, how are the schools?
  20. OK: I've given my opinion, so there's not much left to add to this thread. It's time to tell us what kind of car you have and what kind you are thinking of getting.
  21. If you are replacing front end parts, the car is pretty worn. There are other unknown problems, I can promise you. Replace the car. I admire your approach to all of this.
  22. It's a comparison to Iraq.
