Not much chance this time of day, with all the east coasters slackin', but worth a try. Blues, Dave theyre stuck in traffic right now on the way to the house That's a pathetic excuse. Tell 'em to move to where the traffic ain't. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

At least as far as any of you know. This is my thread. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Well in that case, I'll give it a shot. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I noticed it was listed as an ingredient in some flavored water I drank yesterday. I'd never heard of it before then, so I don't really have an opinion other than the flavored water tasted better than plain. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

It doesn't seem to me that this law prevents that. It's AggieDave's assertion that the casual workers/laborers are illegals. I'm quite certain the law doesn't say that Home Depot must provide for illegal workers. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Yeah, so? I'm talking about 'private revelations'. Notice the word 'private'? Does the fact that it is private and experienced by a particular person make it impossible to be truthful? Nope, not at all, and at no point have I said such "revelations" are impossible or that people claiming to have experienced them are lying. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Obviously what you do works for you, and I'll occasionally hook legs too. On a completely unrelated note...in your first picture, having a student's hands that close to my emergency handles scares the shit out of me! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Nope. My sister once had someone get a bunch of checks routed to her bank account. That took some doing to clear up, and the bank temporarily attached the problem to my mom's account (at the same bank) because my mom had "sponsored" my sister's account there while she was a minor. An ex of mine ran into one credit problem after another when someone with the same exact name somehow got ahold of her SSN and used it to establish credit cards etc. She still has problems with that. My favorite, and what has to be the best identity theft case in the world, was a friend of mine who had a young, hot (and presumably drunk) tandem jumper come into the RV in which he was hanging out and fuck him...erroneously thinking he was the guy who'd taken her on a tandem. Obviously he didn't deny it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

You ever stopped at a car wash fundraiser thing? Did you check the papers of the people who washed your truck to ensure they were legal to work? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

A person who has not experienced such an event has anecdotal evidence that, at a minimum, such things don't happen to everyone. A person who has experienced such an event has anecdotal evidence that such things do occur to at least some people. The sceptic can provide an explanation for such events that fits in with current knowledge, and he may even be able to provide repeatable examples of similar events that are entirely stress or drug induced. The believer's only evidence of such an event is his own claim. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I mostly agree...I'll sometimes do simple corrections to get rid of an annoyance factor, but the worse my student gets, the less attention I pay to them and the harder I arch. I know what I'm doing and they don't, and I can out-fly them more easily than out-muscle them. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I haven't heard anyone seem afraid of it. You said someone could have a private revelation from God. Several people pointed out that, given the evidence available to us, a hallucination is a more probable explanation. Further, it's been stated that the recipient of the revelation/hallucination would have no way of knowing which it was. Ask a paranoid person if people are out to get him. He'll not only say yes, but he'll honestly believe it. People may or may not actually be after him, and his claim/belief doesn't substantiate either possibility. A religious person claiming to have experienced a revelation/hallucination has not proven the existence of a God any more than an atheist claiming to have not experienced such an event has proven the non-existence of a God.

Ha ha...I first found that thread quite some time ago, and checked back on it a couple of months ago. And yes, Gold Bond rocks. I think Muttley first decided I was more than a bit odd one time when we were flying somewhere. My balls were all hot & sweaty, and knowing I was gonna spend the next several hours in airports/airplanes, I went through some fairly strenuous contortions while powdering my balls in the driver's seat of my truck in the airport parking lot. Life became better at that point. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

What he said. I have no reason to believe there's such a thing as a "soul." Blues, Dave If we dont have a soul, then why arent we all the same? Even identical twins, with the exact same genetic makeup, have differences. There is an extra ingredient thrown in there somewhere, right? For one thing, we have substantial genetic differences. For another, we live substantially different lives. If one infant twin always gets the first boob when hungry, or one child is dropped by his father while the other is not, or one child gets his first taste of rocky road ice cream when mom's placating him over a name-calling incident while the other gets his in the middle of a day of swimming...there are essentially infinite variations that should just about guarantee we get some differences. If you took two clones, isolated them, and went to extreme efforts ensure they lived the exact same life...same food, same sleep pattern, same stimuli...I suspect they wouldn't be all that different from each other at the end of the test. In the real world, we live different lives, and we develop different memories and associations as a result of those variations. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

Are you referring to brain death? Cessation of respiration/circulation? All three? If the lack of a pulse, breathing, and brain function qualifies as death, than wouldn't it take the combination of all three to constitute life? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

The thing is no one, and I truly mean no one can prove when life begins...period. This is why I think people should arrive at their own conclusions and be free to make medical decisions on the basis of those conclusions. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I've considered it on several occasions, not for the money but for the happiness it could bring someone. It's not like I can't make more. Still, I haven't ever actually "pulled the trigger" and wouldn't be surprised if there's an age limit I'm approaching. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

So one of your guys in the white hats( as you and your imperious leader like to THINK you are wearing)... shot one of those who you categorize as one in the black hats. Ok got it. If "white hats" means what I think you mean, how the fuck did the KKK get into this discussion, what makes you think Mike supports them, and why in the hell would you think someone whose first post to this thread was condolences was in fact a proponent of this murder? I'm with Mike, you're way the fuck out there on this one Jeanne. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
