I am an internet java script sent to infiltrate your site and transform you from political neanderthals into a modern 21st Century progressive mode.

This is your first warning.

Do not try and resist.

It is useless.

Accept your fate.

You will be assimilated.

My friend used the elliptical trainer to lose 160 pounds...I don't know what his schedule was, but I know that at the end of 9 months, he weighed less than he did when I met him. It was a GOOD thing!

(He said he was holding steady at 195.)

I swam a lot as a kid, so I have broad shoulders and narrow hips. I buy men's jeans and XL T-shirts. Otherwise, I look for separates, as I am not "standard" sized. I have an extra rib on each side which gives me an additions 2 1/2" in length in my torso. So I learned how to sew early...

I vote for the kilt, DC...;o]

With all this talk about moving weight around, you might find this PDF interesting.

Ah... I have found the PERFECT present for The Maggot:

The Furry Brother shall be SO thrilled.

in other news - the local Walmart has a lot of SpyGEAR, though the Amazon page you provided has a better price. (Where the hell did all this spy crap come from??? I have half a mind to buy your eldest two a set of cheap Night Owl piezo-electric powered handheld Gen1 night-vision monoculars). There were several toys there which put a grin on my face, and Brother and I shall assuredly find a thing or two to delight the horde and distress you... so be afraid.

On the other hand... There were no big-ass RC tanks there this year. :(

I'm seriously considering switching to a toga or a kilt.

Most definitely, a kilt! You'll get the most flexibility and comfort with a great-kilt (in Gaelic breacan feile), Braveheart style). This page shows how to wear it. Pay no attention to the "lots of floorspace" note in method 1. I've done it in tents.

Note that the "tail" can be worn just hanging down loose;
wrapped with two lengths, fore and aft, pinned together at the left shoulder (but NOT TO the shoulder);
with a single length (wrapped or not) aft pinned TO the left shoulder (of the vest!);
over the shoulders and closed in front like a cloak if it's cold;
or over the head and shoulders if it's raining.

The small-kilt (feileadh beag or philabeg) won't really solve any problems.

I had forgotten that site, but only because my hard drive crashed long about 2003.

Thanks for the great pic!

I think the one year hiatus rule exists to prevent any individual(s) from spending their entire lives on Vestry.

A good idea! But not to worry, our new Rector is concerned about the load some people have been carrying and is starting to work on changes to that. So I anticipate getting off the Vestry sometime.

Later, Alice!

My daughter has a kilt...but then, she spends her money on whatever she wants...

I'd like one, but will have to save my pennies for it.

[Dead Corpse]

Oh CRAP!!!! They are on to us...

Is it a busy site? I can't load it...

(shhh! we don't want 'em to know we know they know!)

they need to test the Pixie, the Scythian, and the Smurf variants, too.

Hi everyone.

My Nerd guy scanned my hard drive, up dated all my protections, and ran an off-site scan too.

He couldn't find anything.

My computer blocked a virus sent by e mail this afternoon, so thats good.

I'd like to thank you all for your help with this.
Great FRiends!

[sionnsar]

They're not cheap...

[fanfan]

We have snow.

[Monkey Face]

Yes...I know...
But my mouth waters when I see them.

[Monkey Face]

WOO-HOO!!!!

Life is good! We have 86 today...;o]

Life IS good -- we have drizzle today!
