'The Wrestler' is finally playing near me, but it's at the teeny bopper theatre with all the Hollywood type movies. Kinda surprising.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 24, 2009 -> 08:54 AM) Looking at a laser surgery removal cost of (estimated) $436.00. However, the thing about Mast Cell Tumors is that they are aggressive, and can end up anywhere from the skin(most common) to the liver, spleen, blood cells, gastrointestinal tract. And my Vet said that they send out "feelers" to the rest of the body and move around. my dog had a tiny bump that popped out in the last week or so to the size of a fist, so we know it is aggressive. And she has it right above her left elbow, which is a difficult place as it is, but they also want to remove tissue around the tumor to prevent it from spreading, which is hard as well because there just isnt a lot of extra tissue where the tumor is. Basically I could have the tumor removed next week, only to find out shortly thereafter that she is dying from a tumor on her spleen. She is a 9 year old lab, and I have been told about them getting tumors like this, but you are never really prepared for it. Get a 2nd and 3rd opinion. I don't trust vets, dentists or mechanics, they know that we don't know any better. Good luck with doggie.

Cow brains. Mixed into an omlette with veggies? Sheeeeit, forget about it.

I hate the taste of tea. It tastes like there was something really good in the cup beforehand and then someone poured hot water into that same cup without washing it. It's such a half ass taste.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 07:55 AM) You get to a point in your adult life where it just doesnt work like that any more Thx Dad. ;)

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 09:50 AM) I am amazed at how many men leave the bathroom without washing their hands. You just wiped your asshole or held your johnson. Can you have the common courtesy of washing off your hands for christ's sake! What if I just got out of the shower and my junk is squeaky clean??

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 09:27 PM) The Reader or Slumdog Millionaire will take home the award. I've heard The Reader is bad, but it's about the Holocaust, to my knowledge. That alone will buy it a very good chance at the Oscar. People will want to love The Reader and others won't give it the time of day just because they think it's just about the Holocaust....and that's too bad. Slum Mil is not just about some guy on a game show. Is The Wrestler just about a wrestler? (haven't seen it, but I bet it's not).

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 12:57 PM) My mom forwarded this e-mail to me today and I thought it was pretty funny: An old black man lived alone in the country. He wanted to dig his yearly collard green garden, but it was always very hard work for him because the ground was hard. His only son, Junebug Jankins III, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament. Dear Junebugg Jankins the III, I am feeling pretty bad because it look like I won't be able to plant my collard green garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me. Love Dad A few days later he received a letter from his son: Dear Daddy Jankins, Whatever you do, don't dig up that garden. That's where I buried the BODIES. Love Junebugg Jankins III At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local polic e arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son. Dear Daddy Jankins, You can go ahead and plant the collard greens now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love Junebugg III. Why do they have to be black?

I find myself going back to cash. It's easier to keep track of how much I'm spending. Handing someone a plastic card is much easier than handing someone a hundred dollar bill. It keeps my spending in check.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 07:01 AM) LOL, fight the power Los I can't bring myself to do it man.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 11:09 AM) I also find that every trainer at my gym is hilariously overweight. Why would I take your advice when its clear you have no idea what a diet and workout routine should be anyway. The female trainers at my gym look fantastic, you look at them and you know they're trainers. The men, on the other hand, look like average guys. NS72, you're right about the injury factor. Most people at gyms are pretty nice and will show you proper form if you ask. I'll even offer advice if I see someone doing something dangerous.

QUOTE (Steff @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 08:53 AM) I agree about accessibility. If you're there be there 100%. Every player.. would be nice but not realistic. By their logic they only have 4 (or 3 depending on their workout schedules) months of free weekends to spend with their families, go on vacations, etc, etc and the rest of the time they spend entertaining us. Obviously some don't mind it. But from the lack of participation - or the half assed attempts - it seems that most don't care to give up the weekend. And I understand where you're coming from but the clinics for kids are the biggest draws. Maybe when you have some you'll feel different :-) The last time I went, I took three boys with me and all they wanted was to meet players and get autographs....but I see your point.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 12:39 AM) Very true. The internet is smarter and cheaper than your trainer. It seems like the trainers at the gym I go to just make up exercises and routines. The new trend seems to be trying to combine two or three different lifts into one. I see people doing a dead lift and throwing in a calf press at the end of it. I see people doing curls, then turning the dumbell around when it's near their shoulder and turning it into a military press. WTF is that all about?

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Jan 19, 2009 -> 04:08 AM) Im sorry that kid is a giant dick, not even really funny at all. And I usually like this type of stuff. I'm confused, what happened to the last chair? The kid never sat in it at the end.

QUOTE (Steff @ Jan 20, 2009 -> 04:29 PM) Anyone can get in line. It's obviously easier for those staying there. I wish they had a better system for them. Like at check in you get a wristband and have 2 signings right after the other. 1 for hotel guests and 1 for daily guests. It wouldn't kill those guys to sign a bit longer but that's another argument. Tony I think it's $25 a night for hotel guests. And don't bother yelling at the Hilton. It's not their garage. I'm sure Standard Parking has a complaint line though. Sox Fest should be about player accessibility. Every player should be available for a full 3 days of hand shaking, picture taking and autograph signing. Players can clear one weekend during their off season for the fans. I'd go back if it was set up that way. The clinics, the former players and all the crap that's for sale is of no interest to me.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jan 20, 2009 -> 09:49 PM) Wow they just talked to some Urbana troops at the inauguration on CNN, the Cubs fans outnumbered Sox about 6 to 1...Obama to his credit let them have it. Even despite their sacrifice Obama was all, "OK fine pass the mic, we'll get to a Sox fan here sure enough" Him talking to those troops was the best moment of the day. When he started asking about team allegiance, I thought oh God please let ONE of them say they're a Sox fan.

Is it possible to look for someone on FaceBook or MySpace without having to become a member myself??

Also, skip the trainer. You can learn proper lifting form and proper diet by reading books and watching others. Trainers are just trying to make money and they prey on people who don't know much about getting fit.

How should I go about trying to find someone I fell out of touch with about 10 years ago? All I have is their full name.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 20, 2009 -> 01:09 PM) I am incredibly strong. LOL. I've always heard that you should allow 48 hours of rest before hitting the same muscle group again, but like I said, if you get results, more power to you.

The event totally caters to those people staying at the hotel. One HUGE advantage (at least in past) is that you can line up for autographs earlier than those not staying at the hotel.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 20, 2009 -> 10:05 AM) At my old age I've been taking a slower approach to weight lifting. I used to pair 2 muscle groups each day but now focus on one and mix in 20-30 minutes of cardio afterwards. Current cycle is: Mon- Chest Tues- Shoulders Wed- Legs Thurs- Back Fri- Biceps & triceps Sat- Yoga Mixture of free weights and universal (back in the day it was 90% free weight) 3-5 diff exercises per muscle group 4 sets per exercise WOW. How can you do shoulders the day after chest and biceps the day after back? Your shoulders do a lot of pushing when you do chest and your biceps do a lot of pulling when you do back. But hey, if you get results, keep doing it.

I once shared an office with a guy who kept everything. We had piles and piles of random s*** everywhere.
