Time for some fresh avocado . . .

Nice - I choked on my lunch. You are my hero of the day!

And that's how we get generic drugs - the patent expires. Trade secrets or intellectual property never expire - no matter how many knock offs are created they still aren't the same as the original. Even with reverse engineering you might get a nearly similar end result but you still don't get the same thing. Oftentimes the…

Unless it's not patented and instead is chosen to be intellectual property which never expires - think Coke.

My best friend gave me some wise advice before I saw a single episode or read the books: don't get attached to anyone and who you think you like will change. Both are true statements! I do have some level of empathy for those that didn't know it was coming. (Winter is coming) It's true, you know nothing!

:drinker:

Spectacular! How can you tell a male tree from a female tree? * ** *** **** ****** The male tree has morningwood.

Fluoroelastomer technician I make things and destroy them to learn their limits

For brass use Brasso - check with a hardware store to find it. It will help keep it nice.

I can climb the pole now.

My pole is in the basement as are all the coral tanks that require a lot of work on his part. I get to work out surrounded by beautiful undersea creatures and a supportive partner. He doesn't like to watch the tricks though, in case I slip - it scares him. Every now and then he'll even let me teach him some pole moves. In…

I did a Flag hold last night - FIRST TIME EVER!!! I can spin until I create my own gravitational pull, but those holds -*ugh* :heart:

Second this!!!

I can't wait to pole on the dock at the cabin! Hopefully I won't look like a total *kitten* :-) Who am I kidding, I am going to pole out there no matter what I look like.

You got to say douchecanoe and big meany poo poo head in the same comment - I think I am in love!!!!! *swoon* :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Pole Class! I LOVE it! It makes me feel great. Now I want to try aerial silks next.

*runs back to the end of the line for more spankings* Can I put that run in as exercise??

Unfortunately, you are correct *sigh*

Corporate speak: low hanging fruit, proven track record, back to the basics, buckle down, quick note, synergy, etc. I think I've spent too much time in meetings recently. :ohwell:

Alright - my pole story ;-) I "discovered" pole many years ago watchin Teri Hatcher demonstrate her pole moves (S Factor) for about 3 minutes on an Oprah episode. That was about 2004/2005. I didn't take any lessons, or even attempt anything until May of 2012. Now, it's all I want to do for exercise. I can invert and I…

I lived away from Minnesota for 11 years and was so happy to be home! I have no desire to live anywhere else ever again - visit, yes, live, no.

Streching and pole walks - around and turns. Then basic holds and beginner spins.

Andre the Giant Also like the Gagne family. Holy crap, I'm old!

I like the change - the whole "real women" thing has been overdone in an effort (seemingly) to pit women against each other. But, a good sweat on anyone is fantastic - a great sweat together is even better :blushing:

My BF is on paxil and it can have some crazy side effects. A place that has helped us in learning more about it is paxilprogress.org. which is not a medical site but one for people on paxil with others on paxil talking about their experiences. Talk to the Dr about a med (or other therapies) that you can employ to help with…

Cheer's :drinker: for recognizing "older" women! I'm 9 years older than my man and he wouldn't change a thing! For those haters - I nursed 4 kids and still have great b00bs!

:laugh: :laugh: There are men who do pole work too :wink:

There are actually poles made for boats (I found them on amazon!). I am hoping to get the x-pole xpert for my birthday at the end of the month :-) It's what is in the studio and I like them alot better than the lil'minx one I currently have at home.

Try it! I wanted to do it for years and now I'm glad I'm in it!
