Ghandi. I'd like to see just what a pacifist would actualy do if he was getting a beat down...
And Bruce Lee, yeah , I could kick Chuck Norris's teacher's ass any day.....
Customer service as a concept is dead. Call any company at random and you are likely to get Habib in India who has no clue what the product is and has no authority to fix it. When I find the rare company that stresses true customer service I will ...
The closest I ever got was the Japanese fencing form, Kendo. I am a strong proponent of men learning the art of the sword, regardless of the style. Good luck in your training!
Interesting. The fact that a man has to pay somebody to teach survival skills is beyond my understanding. I guess dad's don't teach sons things like this anymore, and whatever happened to the Boy Scouts?
Modern times....( shaking my head and mumb...
True. Any water in the oil will "pop" and splatter the oil. It's not a show stopping problem and,as with everything else in life, once you are aware of the hazzard it is easily avoided. be sure to wear an apron (preferably one that says "kiss me I...
You can load 8ft wood in a 6ft pick up, buy you better hope it doesn't rain or the load shifts. And yeah, good point, if it can't carry the load.........
A pick up truck with an 8ft bed. Anything shorter than an 8ft bed is useless, how can you call it a pick up if you can't pick up a 4x8 sheet of plywood and lay it flat? It is the must have feature of any truck I own. My work truck on the other han...
Fortunately for me I have a body of a Greek god, so that part at least is taken care of :)
I have in fact tried to teach myself better penmanship, and over the years I've handwritten reams of notes and essays and such both in college and in the w...
My penmanship is awfull, truly an art of disaster. I've tried since the 2nd grade to do something about it, but Bill Gates came up with the solution for me. Without the miracle of Word and spell check (which I don't always use for posting) I would...
I deep fry the gobbler in peanut oil. Follow the times, keep an eye on the temp and the football game. Have a great turkey day!
Yes, it seems expensive at first. But when we first got married we had second hand rings and second hand clothes, and all we could afford was a justice of the peace. Since then we've had kids, troubles and trials and joys and sorrows and through i...
That is something you will have to talk to the craftsman about. The price varies depending on what you want done, the amount of gold reused or added in, and the skill of the jewler. It's like painting your house, there is one price for Bobby and B...
I agree, no matter how big the bug, you can still step on it and that's that. Stepping on a bear lands you a segment on "faces of death".
Gold is very valuable because of it's workability. I suggest melting down the existing gold in the rings and creating a new design that is special to you. You will still have the "essense" of the old rings, but reformed to conform a new person.
Compassion, yes I agree. It's the one true thing that separates us from the animals. Compassion is common sense mixed in equal parts with love and logic. However, be on guard against those that use our compassion as an emotional crutch for themsel...
