Hey Matt, Good luck and stay strong. As said earlier conficence pursuades as much as any acedemic arguement. I'm working another Herf with the Cent PA guys in a couple weeks, maybe we can get together and celebrate or something. We'll keep you in the loop. -K-

Looks like I'll actually be an hour outside Dallas, but I'll arrive on the 16th and have that afternoon. Might have a day in there when I can drive in and experience the city - I hear there's an excellent Brazilian Carneria - then I'll leave around the 21st or so. Maybe have the night of the...

Just a little early, I'll be in the area for business for a few days starting on the 16th.... hope you gents enjoy the Herf. -K-

Looks like I might have a few days in the Dallas area (not sure exactly where, yet). Anyone know a good B&M to check out? Do restarants or bars allow Cigars? Just looking for input. Thanks -K-

Forgot to say thanks for the contest....didn't want to edit

Scotch? MacAllans?

I might've gone number oner 1, but the face is missing....I'd be a more striking photowith the face included, especially with smolderig eyes. #2 can't light her cigar properly, looks like a touch of flame and didn't even get the whole foot #3 is holding the cigar backwards...??? #4 - nice but...

I thought the movie was fairly well done, being an adaptation. The novelette was better (as it almost always is) and the main "horror" parts of teh story were left out of the film. I think it would have been much better if the "monsters" weren't mindless (like in the book when his former...

I had the chance to meet up with Erick this weekend. I had a great time and some great food with a very great BOTL. Thanks for having me over and I hope we can Herf again sometime (soon). Too bad the fights weren't as exciting as we'd hoped (but not too bad...) -K-

I enjoyed teh G3 myself. I just picked up this stick at my B&M about 2 weeks ago. It's been resting for it's final fate tomorrow when I meet up with Erick. I'll try a comparison review tomorrow night or Sun.... -K-

I'm thinking of grabbing a box and doing a box split with it...lemme check the bank account and I'll post a decision soon. -K-

Together?!? Seriously... Saeng-il Chukha Hamnida (Birthday Congratulations - Korean) -K-

Sounds excellent... I've been thinking of opening a business like this when I retire from the military. Let me know how it goes for you, I still have quite a few years to consider venue, location and particulars, as well as to save starting capital and such. -K-

Might I suggest Skywatching by David Levy. I've been doing the same with my mother (always interested but never learned). I loved astronomy when I was younger and competed in Astronomy competitions in middle/high school, so we've been doing some naked eye and binoc stuff lately. The book is...

The military...it's a small world, huh. I'm only 11 yrs in and already astounded at the random times I run into a famiar face from over a decade ago. Hope I get to still meet friends in another 15 yrs. Only had one real off-the-wall encounter though. The TI (DI) in basic that had me...

Ditto.... Definitely interested and I should be in the DC area again in the spring. Another Herf if you got the time? -K-

Wow, a huge thank you to Jim and Andrew for making the contest possible. And Shawn...uh.... huge wow, what a donation to the guys forward. I'm back for now (have a few months before round 4 kicks off) but I know how much this will mean to the gyus and gals that benefit from your generosity...

Afrin and the like are vaso-constrictors, they cause the capilaries in the sinus passages to restrict blood flow to teh are, thereby reducing swelling and opening the passages. They aren't supposed to be addictive in the chemical dependancy sense (unless you are using a steriod spray, but those...

Ours wasn't *just* Pong, it was tennis and half a dozen other games by putting the mylars over the screen.... Then I want on to my fisrt computer (and computer games) the Colecovision Adam, all before and without hard drives and floppy disk drives (only a magnetic tape drive and a little...

Congrats man, Vancouver rocks! We (my mom and I) were there for a few days after our cruise May 07 and it was wonderful. She's disabled, and though she can get around her back locks up easily (two vertebea removed, etc...) so we didn't get around as much as I had hoped, but that's just an...
