Cassidy replied to G. Alphonse Menard's discussion Fellow Four Eyes"I'm having the worst time finding glasses currently.
If you go to any standard "chain" optometry store, there are practically no choices other than that exceedingly ugly, sever rectangle look.
I want perfectly round,…"
Tony Weidman replied to G. Alphonse Menard's discussion Favorite Drug Store Fragrance"Great choice, mine also!"
R.K. Beetle replied to G. Alphonse Menard's discussion Favorite Drug Store Fragrance"I was reminded of Pinaud Clubman when I read the AoM article about how to smell like a barbershop. As a kid, I used to go to the barber, and he always had bottles of that gold liquid with the burma-green label and top-hat-sporting dandy. I…"
G. Alphonse Menard replied to Andrew LaBrador's discussion What knife should everyman own?"I've got a leatherman multi-tool and a Buck folding knife that I carry every day. Quality kitchen knives are definitely a good call; other than that, I've just got a fillet knife."
G. Alphonse Menard replied to Ash Mathew's discussion Catholic men need to start a cultural revolution! Details inside in the group Catholic Men"I'm a little confused by this response. Ash didn't mention anything about being a "girly man" or moving all over the country. Being Catholic has nothing to do with wanderlust or behaving in an effeminate manner. I think Ash hit…"
G. Alphonse Menard replied to Walt Morgan's discussion why do we ask for prayers? in the group Catholic Men"If your Protestant friend believes in the power of prayer, this should be pretty easy to explain. Prayer can help heal and strengthen us, so it stands to reason that more prayer provides additional healing and strength. Plus, it can't hurt to…"
Native Son replied to G. Alphonse Menard's discussion Why we as Catholics should stand against the rising tide of Islamophobia. in the group Catholic Men"He's already set up for some fun with the legal system. He can't get a permit for the fire.
(TRUE!) And Lord knows, there will benough cops and firefighters showing up at the book burning."
StaggerLee replied to G. Alphonse Menard's discussion Why we as Catholics should stand against the rising tide of Islamophobia. in the group Catholic Men"Burning books is just one of many ass-hat moves this cult leader is making. Yesterday I read a few of his other 'policies' for members, especially 'clergy'. The guy is nuttier than a peanut cluster!
But as long as what he is…"

Native Son replied to G. Alphonse Menard's discussion Why we as Catholics should stand against the rising tide of Islamophobia. in the group Catholic Men"I'm not sure who is the bigger tool. Is it the "Ah don't know what they air, but Ah'm' agin'em!" preacher or the press that picked this story up and ran with it, nationally. I mean this whole "burn the…"
G. Alphonse Menard replied to G. Alphonse Menard's discussion Why we as Catholics should stand against the rising tide of Islamophobia. in the group Catholic Men"It's also important to note that the building where Officer Cardillo was shot was a "mosque" of the Nation of Islam, a black nationalist group that has little in common with actual Islam. NoI adherents believe that God came to earth…"
G. Alphonse Menard replied to G. Alphonse Menard's discussion Why we as Catholics should stand against the rising tide of Islamophobia. in the group Catholic Men"In response to Vladislav's comment, I'd say we should go back to a point that was brought up earlier in this discussion; Catholicism is centralized and dogmatic. We can easily point to the policies and statements set forth by Rome or by…"
Vladislav replied to G. Alphonse Menard's discussion Why we as Catholics should stand against the rising tide of Islamophobia. in the group Catholic Men"The McVeigh and Kaczynski examples are rather weak. These are two VERY isolated incidents. They don't indicate or speak to a larger pattern of 'violence or terrorism' inherent in any religion or group.
With Islam, it is quite a…"
Vladislav replied to G. Alphonse Menard's discussion Why we as Catholics should stand against the rising tide of Islamophobia. in the group Catholic Men"What this guy is doing is ridiculous. And yes, we need to denounce what he is doing. Better yet, we should have never given him one bit of media coverage, either in the papers or on TV. That is all he is after, after all. I was glad to see that the…"
G. Alphonse Menard replied to G. Alphonse Menard's discussion Why we as Catholics should stand against the rising tide of Islamophobia. in the group Catholic Men"I'd say we should denounce the minister in Florida. His decision is an unnecessarily provocative act that puts our overseas service personnel at risk. Plus, as a gentleman, I think it's important to have thoughtful discussions rather than…"

- Hello, I posted some kb workout follow alongs,solid stuff to get you started and to test your metal,keep tight and use good form,I suggest that you begin slowly,get your breathing insync,start with the 20,work up to the thirty.Avoid going to fatigue,have seen people puke.These are basic trainers,as you progress with practice and grow stronger,you can invent a freestyle program based on 3-5 min rounds useing compound full body movements involving squats,swings,press,snatch, ect,evolving into figure 8,halo,gunslinger curls,swing fly,rows in constant motion.This is really fighter conditioning programs,however,they translate well into whatever your doing,getting under the bells is a lifestyle forged with commitment ,many people have picked them up,most put them down,the ones that keep swinging gain the most.

Nick Lanier replied to Tyler M.'s discussion "Are Catholics Christians?" in the group Christian Men"Short answer is yes, Catholics are Christians. Anyone who attempts to say "Well, the Bible doesn't say..." or "I believe that the Scripture is the final authority" is being intellectually incongruent. That is not…"
Nick Lanier replied to Elliott Jason Ridgway's discussion Bible Translations in the group Christian Men"Steve,
I have had the opportunity to read the NABRE, and understand the reason the translation was done. Personally, I view it as a step in the right direction, as many of the laity do not study on their own. However, I tend to enjoy…"
Carl Monster commented on Elliott Jason Ridgway's group Canine Enthusiasts"Wow Steve,so do I...our doggie had a photo this weekend there that I posted!"
Steve Imparl commented on Elliott Jason Ridgway's group Canine Enthusiasts"Welcome, Carl, and thank for the story about your dog's transformation. You and your family are obviously treating her very well. I am familiar with Lulu's Rescue; I follow their page on Facebook."
David replied to Mr. Leinbach's discussion Help Me out--what do you have? in the group Man Bags"I carry a Filson. They are great bags and made to last. They look good in any setting and you will be able to pass it down to your children or grandchildren. I know most here like saddleback but being a Seattle boy I'm sold on…"
Steve Imparl replied to Elliott Jason Ridgway's discussion Bible Translations in the group Christian Men"This is a great topic, Elliott. My primary Bible for reading and prayer is the New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE) ( http://www.usccb.org/bible/index.cfm ). If I am studying or meditating on some specific text from the scriptures, I will…"
