You have had a great year! Thanks for sharing that.

It is kind of humbling to realize you can't do everything you used to do. I struggle with that too. You are doing great Cindy. Just keep moving and resist the temptation to give up on your fitness.

Too damn close!

After the last 4 years, I can't believe we are going into this election not knowing if Obummer is going to be collecting unemployment compensation in a few months or not. It should be a slam dunk. Worst president ever! It blows my mind that anyone could be looking forward to 4 more years of this BS. Hoping for some real…

I voted for the American!

Candy comes back after the debate is over and says she was wrong about the transcript. I think it was a calculated move to save Obama's bacon at a key moment in the debate. The next debate is on foreign policy. Romney will kill him on that. The GOP is nuts to agree to having far left moderators for the debates. Would the…

Best debate ever!

You know I am!

You won't always be over weight. They will always be stupid. You can't fix stupid. Flush them from your mind and keep on truckin. You are a winner.

On my current project, about 25 feet, but I get great milage, so it's cool. Most projects require me to fly weekly up to Minneapolis (usually in the winter), Phoenix (usually in the summer) or Hartford, CT.

Yes, it is very sad. I don't want to give you the impression that all of America is like that. As someone else mentioned, America is a huge place. I feel pretty safe in the places I choose to visit and am smart enough to stay out of the places that aren't safe. Gang crime is mostly concentrated in the large cities, but has…

I wish I lived on your planet. :smile: Randomly shooting people for the fun of it has become a popular form of recreation in cities like Chicago and Washington DC in recent days. Gang initiations often require some young punk to pick the random civilian and blow him/her away just to show his homies what a badass he is.…

I carry pretty much all the time, except when I'm working out or sleeping. If I did feel the need to run armed, I would probably carry my BUG (backup gun) - a Ruger LCP .380. It's small and light. I would secure it in a small fanny pack. To me it would be more trouble than it is worth. I am usually drenched with sweat by…

Hi Cindy - I have not read all the previous responses, so I may be repeating what others have written. Your BMR is the amount of calories your body would burn if you were totally inactive (think comatose). Eating that plus your exercise calories would still net you the calories your body would burn if you were totally…

I also carry the .40 cal Springfield XD sub-compact. Very nice and dependable. Small, but a little chunky. I shoot much better with the extended magazine/grip because it fits my hand better. It does make it just a little harder to conceal with the extended mag, but that's the way I carry. There are always trade-offs. I…

This little cutie hooked her lower canine teeth into my nostrils and chomped down hard on my nose this morning with her needle sharp little puppy teeth. It brought tears to my eyes.

Damn! - How do these people know me? :bigsmile: Mark The most sexy, erotic, flirtatious, hot stuff, bootylicious 4 letter word you'll ever see. If you spell it backwards, you get kram which according to urban dictionary means smoking weed/ganja/herb; how cool is that! I know you're impressed. If you take the mark out of…

I'm finding out that eating out is just throwing my sodium numbers all out of whack. If it comes from a restaurant or a can, it has too much sodium. So, to remedy the situation, I've decided to do the responsible thing and adjust my diary settings to stop showing sodium. Problem solved! :bigsmile:

It was on my birth certificate. I figured it would be easy to remember. :bigsmile:

I'm going to have to go with Barbara Eden from "I Dream of Jeanie". That show was on when dinosaurs still roamed the earth.

Lawfully carrying a concealed weapon is similar to carrying a spare tire in the trunk of your car. You don't see too many people pulling out the spare tire and waving it around at anyone that they happen to come across. It only comes out when you really need it. So, there's really nothing to be afraid of from the person…

There you go! You nailed it. That the real men & women you described above are becoming more rare is the real masculinity/femininity crisis. Also, people being too willing to become dependent on others to support them as a lifestyle choice rather than taking care of themselves and their families. There's nothing wrong in…

I'm 56 now. I'll let you know when I reach "middle aged".
