Jesse Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Wow your gym classes sound horrible. I think I only did one "research" thing that I don't think took much work, other than that we played games and did those stupid physical tests that I always failed except sit-ups. Thank goodness they did not force me to pass those. I think my lowest time for the mile run was 9:30. I tried though, honestly! Â The worst part about the class for me was when the hardcore athletes got too competitive about it. Or when people ganged up on me, since I guess I appeared to be an easy target. Good thing I was done with the class after sophomore year in high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesusfreak Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Fencing would be so awesome! My favorite gym unit was in middle school when we had an entire gymnastics unit. That was awesome. My biggest problem was that I just don't like competitive sports. Probably because I'm bad at most of them. I was fine in floor hockey, as long as people weren't trying to chop my feet off with a hockey stick. And I was decent at ghetto kickball* because there was some strategy involved. Â *Ghetto kickball is something we did in high school. We played in our tiny gym, and it was mostly like regular kickball. The differences were that you could have as many people as you wanted on a base (which was great because you didn't have to run if you knew you were going to get out by running), and when you were running to home, if you were clear to go on to first base again, you could do that and it would still count as a run, and you wouldn't have to kick again until the next time you stopped at home. So as long as I could kick the ball and make it to first base without getting out, I was usually fine, because I could run to the next base when I was clear, and I could usually make it back around to first base without stopping at home. The fun part was when you get one of the hot-headed guys that think they're the master of all things sports, because they were usually the catcher, and they would try and throw that ball at you from halfway across the gym to get out out and miss, so the ball would go rolling across the gym into some far corner, and you could keep running bases until they got their act back together and stopped trying to get people out. Also, if you could kick the ball above a line painted on the back wall of the gym, it was an automatic safe trip to first base, and if you could kick it and hit the box painted on the wall, it was an automatic home run, or something like that. (I was bad at kicking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â These foliage terrorists can clean a bush in about one day. I won't kill them, but I sure hate that they eat all my beautiful plants. They are not even afraid of humans... I was really, REALLY close to this one and all it did was look at me between bites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't I wish. I won't use chemicals on my plants as I don't like pesticides, etc., so I try and find something which the grasshoppers don't like. I have used some crazy things to try and stop them. Nothing seems to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car gets close to 30 I think. Or at least it used to. Since the check engine light went on, it seems to be going through gas faster.

You still need someone else in the car who's had their license for at least 4 years though. The test for your permit is a 10 question multiple choice thing about simple rules for the road like what certain signs mean and how far away from something you should put on your blinker.

This is where those eight-legged creatures, search out fuzzy, cute, blonde male hamsters and want to eat them alive.

Â Pain... that hurts and death, who knows, as most people only experience it once and don't live to talk about it. There are only a few spiders big enough to eat hamsters, so I suppose that might be rational. Humans, however, are too big to be eaten alive by spiders. And even a hamster is big enough to easily squash most spiders. The only reason a spider will bite something as big as a human is self defense. Â As for death and pain, those are rational fears for self-preservation. Although I don't fear death, because I know where I'm going when I die. However, I would still like to live my life here on Earth as long as I can, so I do my best to not die. Plus things that cause death tend to hurt, and I do have a fear of pain. And I know that my dying would cause other people pain, and I would never want to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of my family and friends have Verizon, so I figured it would be best to stay on that, with free texting and calling to them. Â I got my 100 dollar credit and I want to try out the new LG Dare. It won't be the same, but hopefully it will be good enough... Â Â In what ways will your plan change?

Horatio Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 So Horatio...have you upgraded yet? Upgraded as in... the airplane? Or... weaponry to protect myself against spiders? Â Airplane... I have been Captain since 2000 on the Boeing 727 and 2001 on the Airbus. I am considering the MD-11 or if I have enough seniority, the 777 when it arrives. ...Actually I was thinking more along the lines of a mobile device. Â ..iPhone 3G I went down to buy two and then found out my AT&T program would change. Now I have unlimited text for $20 additional. If I upgraded to the 3G, then I would have to change my plans.

Â I got my 100 dollar credit and I want to try out the new LG Dare. It won't be the same, but hopefully it will be good enough... Â In what ways will your plan change? I'm eligible for the upgrade, so I can get the 16G phone at the lesser price, but then AT&T wants another $30 more for the data plan and $20 for the unlimited texting... per MONTH!!!! Eeekkkkkkkkkk!!!!!! For some reason, I don't like paying the additional $50 per month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I thought, but I am calling back tomorrow to talk to someone else. I really didn't think this lady was really familiar with all the details. It seems like she should have looked at my current plan then made some changes, not just added money to the total. You will get a full report tomorrow. If the plan goes down, I just might have to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend not to have good luck with my phones, and I drop them a lot and what not, so I am nervous about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a little rubber cover that surrounds the phone and it is the best protection I have ever used. Â As for the Dare... look at what type accessories you will be able to find for protection. Then make your decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horatio Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Today started off on a very bad note... Â my poor little Bug had an engine fire. *cry, cry, cry* Â Usually I have a fire extinguisher, but for some reason, I forgot to put it back in my car when I cleaned it. So, now I am really, really sad. My poor little car has gone through all kinds of repairs, renovations and restorations and was looking fantastic when this happened. I took a picture, but am not too sure how it will come out. It was 05H30 and still dark out. Â I'm going off to cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so sad as I had put lots and lots of money in it to restore it and had this should not have happened. The engine was newly rebuilt and had all new components, hoses, wires, etc..

The Biggest Fan Of Fuzzy Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Aw. I'm so sorry! :closedeyes: Â Â I had the a horrible thing happen today too. I was outside this morning flying my little helicopter outside, because I kept crashing into things in my room. A gust of wind came and blew it onto the roof. Luckily, it was the low part of the roof. So I got a ladder out, and went up..BUT I KNOCKED THE LADDER OVER! That wasn't the worst part though. I had to jump down, and I was going to go in the front, but then I realized the side would be a lesser jump. So I went the side, and then I remember that we had tomato plants there, so I couldn't jump. So I went back to the front side and jumped down and all was good. So I went over to the tomato plants to check them out, and they got HUGE! I don't know why I did, but I looked into this bucket thing, that my step dad put under the gutter, to use that water to water the plants, ya know... Well, I looked in...and guess what I saw! Â A chipmunk! It was standing up perfectly straight, hands were out. It was so cute, and I wanted to jump in and save it and perform CPR. But I couldn't. I just couldn't get in there to save it. It was probably long dead by then anyway, so my efforts would have meant nothing. Â I want to cry, I feel soooooooooooooooooooooo bad.

Â If it was dead it wouldn't be standing. Couldn't you dump the bucket, let the chipmunk out then fill the bucket again? How about putting a screen over it, to allow the rain water in and keep out the critters? Â Please go back and see if it is still there. Perhaps it is still alive and you can let it go. Please go back out and check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
