Gents, Military strikes again. I found out yesterday my trip has been cancelled and I am being sent elsewhere this weekend. I think I'm going to stop trying to make plans in advance, becaause every time I'm told I have a "firm" trip. It turns out not so firm and gets changed at the last...

I wanted to be a scientist from 3d grade on - had a bunch opf different ideas on what fields. Then I had an issue with going to college (long story) and settled for community college where I majored in Computer Programming. Got the associates, couldn't get a decent job and couldn't afford a...

Chige lterally means stew and there are tons of stews, not all with Kimchi - but the ultimate in Kimchi is a good Kimchi-chige. Dubu-Chige (tofu stew) also rocks. Kimchi Stew is easy to make at home, if anyone wants to know how. Most of the staples have been mentioned, but I'll add Chapjae...

Marc - glad to hear you're doing better. I have a good friend this happened to in 2005. He was TDY to Thailand (I know - no stress there) and was in the hotel (actaully alone) when the tachycardia hit for the first time. He was taken to teh hospital and stabilized, much as you were, then...

There are two types of artificail satellites - Orbital and Geo-synchronous. Both move, of course, but in orbital sats they move across the surface fo teh earth so that the "footprint" moves with them. In Geo-synch Sats they move with the earth's rotation so they appear stationary and their...

Thank you all. I'm still forward or another 7-10 days, but my replacement arrives today and we'll have some good Cigars this afternoon. I'll be back in the land of the big BX(PX/NEX) by the first, then the party begins. Also thanks to those who have supported our efforts to defend freedom...

I can work on this, and there might be others that can as well. You're correct on the Kanji meanings, sort-of. When a name is translated into Chinese Characters (Kanji in Japan and Hanja in Korea - they're all essentially the same) then each character does have a meaning with some possibly...

This sums it up for me... enjoyable but not memorable. -K-

And all I can say is thanks a million. You are extremely generous. I, and a few of my mates in tan, will enjoy your generosity and brighten our days while away from home. Thank you again, more than I can say. -K-

Corona Cigars is in Orlando. I beleive they have another location too, not sure where. It's Huge! A little pricey (but I'm not a Floridian, so they may be normal prices) but definitely has almost anything you can think of. -K-

Thanks, I'll give this a try.... This finds all member's posts and I want to find a specific member's post in a specific thread. For example... find my wish list in the wishlist thread. (22 pages to look through and if you use "find member's posts" you get my 1500ish posts to search through...

Home? Actually, I think that is refered to as "A Redneck Mansion" -K-

We do have an excellent search feature here that Rod set up for us. Check out the Advanced Search, play with it, get familiar. That way when you need it, you'll already know how to use it. The only feature missing that I can think of would be the ability to search a thread for a specific...

I say all three (or at least the 2 Exquisitos). Find one or two BOTLs and do a mulit-box split. the chests should be easy, buy one of each, when they come in swap 25 of each chest so you have 2 chests with 25 of each and send the other chest off to the split partner. Or just go with the...

I have an idea to float by everybody for a little twist on this idea. What if we set a list (similar to the Wish List thread) where people post the HTF sticks they are looking for and what they would be willing to buy them at (if over MSRP). That way somebody seeing the sticks available knows...

Here's his sampler but I can't find where it is called the Vulcan, nor can I find info on a vitola named Vulcan by Gurkha (even on their website) Looks like a generic Gurkha Torp to me. (as opposed to any of there uncountable lines) Might not be bad... As mentioned may times previously, I'd...

Just be frank, honest and open. "Dude, I appreciate that you are concerned for me, but our values are different. This is my hobby and doesn't impact you. I'll be sure I don't enjoy a cigar where it will impact you but I am an adult and this is a hobby I've chosen. Please allow me to live my...

There's another option y'all aren't considering. Isn't the non-cuban Cohiba a DR brand? He might be calling them "fakes" but it could just be ignorance (or a deliberate misstatement to an ignorant public). I would guess they aren't the glass-top fakes, but more likely DR Cohibas and other brands.

These are the ones that interest me... New Seven Deadly Sins for a Modern People 1. Talking on a cell while Driving (non-hands-free) 2. Being a Troll (in all its various guises) 3. Driving like an @$$ (inc. Road Rage) 4. Identity Thievery 5. Spamming (inc telemarketers and door-to-door, exc...
