Running is good for you, I've heard. Never done so myself. Glad you had a good time with it. I think it's the sides-aching part that turns me off to it.

Reply to Had it Up to HERE with the Gay Rights Movement in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I agree. I, however, think that people are not either 'gay' or 'straight.' They are people. Some people have sex with men, some with women, some with nobody. It's a preference, and a choice of behaviours. Like a favorite color - you may like purple, but you shouldn't be called a purple-ite. Nobody cares. Nobody should care about that either, except if you're a Christian, in which case God applies which makes everything different. Besides that l

You need a babysitter. It's just so hard to find someone who loves your kids enough, and knows enough about kids, to leave them without worrying. We're lucky, we have someone like that. We can actually relax when we're out and she has them. But I still know how that feels, where everything they do becomes annoying. It's a product of being together for so long. A break can recharge you, but not if you spend the break worrying, you know?

I feel that you're likely to pull in small amounts over time, while she is going to have large swings where she's down, then back up again, etc. As long as she only loses one buy-in she's all right, though.

Reply to Weird Sorting Technique in Work Reports JoeUser Forums

My thought is this - they put everything on a disk, sent it to a printing place, and they printed it out in the order the files were in, which would be alphabetical. Also, there's too many columns for the page, so instead of resizing things to fit to page, they just printed 2 pages for each thing, without the categories or headings on the second page. That's what I THINK happened, but I'm only a one-year investigator, so I could be drastically wrong.

Reply to Deciding to be fat in Misc JoeUser Forums

I'm lucky. I'm a guy. If I lose weight, the only attention I'll get is "Oh, you lost some weight. Still going bald, I see." So it's not a big deal. I'm sorry you got all that unwanted attention, but seriously, they compliment only because they thought that's what you wanted to hear. Just because you're more pleasing to the eye at one point in your life doesn't mean you were the blob for the rest of it. As for the roomie, don't dump organ

Weird Sorting Technique in Work Reports JoeUser Forums

So, I was looking through a bunch of financial statements today. The statements appeared to not be in any order. It would have 2003, then 2004, then 2005, but within it the months were all scattered. Finally, it hit me - they were ordered alphabetically. April, August, December, February, January, July, June, March, May, November, October, September. It m

Sure, I can be here whenever you want! Outside of 8-noon, it's $200 an hour. And I need cash at the beginning of the hour. And you owe me $200 for keeping me late the other day. Now, how long would you like me to stay today?

Reply to Christians limit their God in Religion JoeUser Forums

John 3:18: "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." Basically, he sent his Son to die for you. If you reject that, he's going to be pissed. If you accept that, there will be no condemnation. The only thing I can point out for a group of people is that they didn't believe in the name of Jesus, therefore they'r
