My feet just always stink. But I am sort of a stinky man anyway. My wife hasn't kicked me out of bed for it, yet. Glad you found something serviceable dharmagrl!

Supernova-The Final Installment in Fiction JoeUser Forums

Supernova-The Conclusion Finally the time came to pull Ganymede from its orbit around Jupiter and lock it in an artificial gravity well generated a safe distance from earth. The gravitational force of the moon would be nullified by the gravity well we had created, making it safe. Since most of the lead scientists were from America, it was deci

Reply to Who writes this crap, anyway? in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Lyrical quality is a must for me in the music I listen to. If the lyrics are empty I lose interest immediately.

Reply to Crap called Rap and Heavy Metal... in Music JoeUser Forums

I am not a fan of rap, so I cannot comment due to my ignorance of the genre. However, as a real connoisseur of Metal I have to call you on your false assumptions and accusations. True, there is a lot of metal with terrible lyrics, but there are just as many "pop" songs with incredibly sexually loaded lyrics and crap as well. There are plenty of metal bands with lyrics that are both intriguing, interesting, powerful and uplifting. Making b

Not at all Brad! Just think of it as teaching him how to lose, an important and healthy leasson . My only question is, how bad do you have to be to allow 18 points?

Reply to Movie Mistakes - Find Your Favorite Movies' Mistakes in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

Fun website. Thanks for the link. I think I had heard of it, but it has been a while. I read some of the mistakes and while many are funny, it also astounds me how many small ones folks pick up on. I usually don't pay close enough attention I suppose.

Glad it turned out the way it did Teegs! The whole registration and school thing can be amazingly stressful. I finally got to the point I had to relax about it.

Man, my surname is all over the place. I guess it must be sort of common. *last name is Jones*

Reply to Mental Health in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

Having had some exposure to the mental health field I am really astounded how poorly the funding for mental health is handled. Insurance companies that do offer mental health benefits tack it on at the end, as if they were doing you some magnanimous favor. Do they not realize these are real diseases that affect the most personal and intimate part of human beings? It really appalls me. I admire your strength to continue fighting and working

Thanks dharmagrl. It has been an action packed 27 years. But truth be told I wouldn't change it one bit. We are having the time of our lives and loving every bit of it. It has been a pleasure to get to know you just a little bit in my time here! Always fun to read what you have to say.

Who is BlueDev? in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

There are a lot of great blogs here. And a lot of folks talk a lot about their lives in their blogs. Up to this point I haven't really written much about myself. But as I feel I am starting to make some online friends here and become part of a community I don't much care for the idea of hiding behind the anonymity of my screen name. So I thought I would write a li

Reply to War comes calling in Politics JoeUser Forums

I too have been skipping over the media coverage of the war lately. I think it is for two reasons. First, if I go past it fast I think there is a part of me that doesn't have to think about it. Second, I think I am afraid of being reminded just how personal it is for some people. Thanks for the reminder dharmagrl. There are some amazing people making some amazing sacrifices. Real people with real stories that may never be told. I hope I

Reply to Sarcasm, and how there's nothing to it in Welcome JoeUser Forums

To be quite honest there are simply people who don't get sarcasm. Just like there are people who don't get quantum mechanics. No matter how hard they try they just aren't going to get it. No matter how well they are taught, no go. So, while you can certainly talk about things with this person and try to explain it to them, there is a chance they simple don't get sarcasm period. I have met a few such people in my life.

Reply to Cryptozoology...An Actual study or Just a Silly Pastime... in Wildlife JoeUser Forums

Hahahaha, el chupacabras. It was all over the news down in Guatemala, with lots of folks who swore they had seen it. I am ambivalent about cryptozoology. I won't say I don't believe any of these things could exist, but I also am not going to say they do exist for sure. It is fun though.

Reply to Mozilla Firefox in Windows Software JoeUser Forums

Firefox is a great browser. Of course I still use IE for most of my browsing. With the Google toolbar I don't have any problems. Sure, some folks would say that it is stupid to have to install something to get IE to block pop-ups, but since you have to install some of the extensions to get Firefox to run do some things that IE does I figure it is even. But I do like and use Firefox. It is a very solid bit of programming.

Reply to Good on-line writing techniques in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Interesting article Brad. In my short time here I have been "fortunate" (I don't really know what word to use) to have a couple articles appear on the front page. And it is almost humorous how little the points from those affect your overall score. I suppose I usually try to follow those suggestions anyway just out of default, but I also suppose making it to the front page isn't really my "goal". So I will keep writing the silly sort of stuff I wri
