Ron Knapper replied to Timothy Ferguson's discussion American vs International in the group Ballroom Dancing"Big question, are you thinking of competing, or do you dance for pleasure / social?
I don't have much experience with American vs International, just know I am in it to have fun and if I can feel the right beat and I know the steps that would…"

American vs International
I have been dancing for a year at a studio that teaches American timing for all dances. How difficult or necesary is it to to switch from that to International?See More
Ballroom Dancing
For those of us honest-to-goodness gentlemen who know better. There are few things more manly than leading your lady to the ballroom floor, wearing your best wingtip dance shoes, and leading her in a good old fashioned jive.

The sail boat idea sounds amazing!! the only down side I can think of is you wont have any steady friends. I would make sure it is able to go up rivers so you can go inland for stuff

Will replied to Timothy Ferguson's discussion How far does good will reach? in the group The Interfaith Group"I'll reply to the first issue: whether there is only one faith. I take it by "faith" you mean "religion," as in, "adherents of the Jewish faith" (e.g.).
