Yup, them digital cameras are power hogs. It's best to go spend your money on some NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable batteries. They have the best power capacity (measured in milli Amp hours), but are slightly more expensive, plus you need the charger. However, it beats throwing away the alkalines.

The perfect woman.

Detroit Red Wings Got my picture taken with the Stanley Cup this past Sunday.

Korean forms, similar to kata.

Does he have any sisters that are single?

You can buy the VHS or DVD with those three on it. It's called G3-Live in Concert. I'm not sure if they offer the correct video format for your region. Don't blame me if your brain leaks out of your ears.

Seen Steve Vai years ago with Satriani and Eric Johnson on a Halloween night. My brain melted.

Haven't tested for the past six months. Instructor cancelled a test last month and said we are all going to focus on detail for a while and test next month. That really means he is going to put us in the hospital right before Christmas. Ho, Ho, aww crap.

MA has taught me that I'm not as young as I thought I was. My doctors will verify that also.

You people have it easy. Try telling someone you are practicing Kuk Sool Won. Their heads turn on an angle, similar to a what a dog would do, and repeat back to me some blurb that might be considered offensive to some. It's easier just to say martial arts instead.

Maybe some of the bashing stems from jealousy. There are a lot of people who can't perform a good spinning roundhouse (me included, but I've accepted the fact that I just plain stink). So the natural reaction is to criticize.

I used to type with mini-sandbags tied to my fingers. I typed 145 words/minute, but I broke a keyboard every week.

Huh? That bouncing kimahjeseh (sp?) stance is made to persecute us lowly colored belts. I want to file a grievance to Kuk Sa Nim regarding those someday.

Geez, where I start? Forms, spin kicks, jumping jacks, cart wheels, anything else that stresses my knee.

Don't forget the huge down payment and the low residual value after the lease is up. Maybe leasing isn't a good idea. I give up.

That question is way too generic for discussion. Most people have requirements to meet to receive any belt. Look at some of the threads on this site for a better idea. Sorry to hear about your chubby friend. He might be able to do all the flashy kicks anymore, but that doesn't mean that's what TKD is all about either.

I agree. But, I see the same situation that KarateMom is going thru quite often with my friends who have children. I guess it just a part of parenting that time management becomes a hassle. I wouldn't know because I don't have any children. My friends always ask me when I'm going to acquire offspring and I tell them I'm waiting for a lease program. It's not that I don't like kids, because I spoil my friend's children whenever I can (I am an non-related uncle to about half a dozen) and I have even been asked to be the godfather of my best buddy's newest addition.

If anyone thinks lifting weights will slow you down and will affect coordination they should call Tyson or Holyfield and explain why.

Am I correct to say that life would be a lot easier without kids? If they bring so much joy, then why so many problems? I've never been able to figure that out.

Isn't that considered getting your feet wet? Hahhaha. (sorry, couldn't resist)

Our company secretary just walked into our manufacturing area with a clown costume on. She had spiked green hair. Kinda creepy. Ugly socks though.

If you value the friendship at all walking away will make them hurt a lot worse.

Cabin Fever? That's what we here in the snowbelt of Michigan experience every winter. If you've ever seen the TV version of The Shining, that's kinda what it's like, only no evil spirits. Flesh eating disease? My friend is a pathologist that saw that happen. Said it's the weirdest thing he's ever seen.

Even worse bar joke: A ham sandwich walks into a bar...the bartender looks over and says "Sorry, we don't serve food here."

Amen. I burnt out on forms, and I only know the first three. And those pale in comparison to what I saw Barry Harmon do in Berkley, MI this year.
