Been staying busy with school & such, lots of reading, lots of writing assignments, ho hum, the exciting life of students. Perhaps the only interesting thing is that I help to run the college radio station, but that's even more work actually. More like baby sitting. Ho hum, blah blah. | thevelvetcure

It was played at my school in the campus ministry center, hence why I refused to see it. I just see it as extremism.
...kinda like Farenheit 911...& then you have FarenHYPE 911
I'm just waiting for FarenREALSTORY 911, but that'll never happen. |

If you ask me, it sounds like a real crapty strain of martial arts. Sounds more like you're being trained to be a ninja that collects reconnaisance.
My sensei when I was younger basically had said that... If you have to fight, then you failed. Fighting is NOT to be looked as the first response to a confrontation, but only as a last resort. However all this is to be assesed in a split second. Be aware of one's surroundings. Negotiate & / or run if it's a viable option.
You may want to look into a martial arts that includes more grappling, (Jiu-Jitsu) which is a no holds bar style (punching, biting, eye-gouging, etc) I'd actually recommend Judo, as there is more focus on 'throwing' your oponent off of you, & being able to restrain them long enough to actually get hits in. Following is a quick article from Wikipedia.

Amanda, one thing that I tried doing was "making sure" that I REALLY wanted that ciggarette. It sounds dumb, but when you get the urge to smoke, wait 10 minutes or so before allowing yourself to have it. If the urge lingers that long, then take it. Often times it'll go away if you busy yourself with something else. I know for me the hardest was driving without smoking & my morning coffee. Drinking wasn't as bad as I expected, & we all know that those two go hand in hand. | thevelvetcure

Well, I have quit, I'm not sure what week it is, but I bet I'm pushing my second month now, though I'm still a smoker, I always will be.
Iseult, it is possible to cut down, everytime that I 'quit' & then I started back up, I cut down my habit. The most I ever smoked habitually (excluding drinking/stressed nights) was a pack, eventually, last semester sometime I was down to maybe 1 or 2 a day, & at that point, what the hell is the point? So I quit. It was my time to do so.
Wolf - In my experience, yes, it was, it's real crapty, but once you are adament about not smoking & admit that you're addicted, but don't WANT to smoke for various reasons, it's easier. Evven my smoker friends/co-workers supported me when I was working over X-mas break because they know how difficult it is. For me, it's always been cold turkey, & this time, I'm done. |

Another site on Hershey PA but this is more on a touristy level, but gives great descriptions. Keep in mind that the prices are most likely outdated being that the article was posted in 2001 | thevelvetcure

late October you run the risk of snow, but typically that doesn't occur before daylights saving time,, but you're better off in September, though you guys may not get the full autumn effect that you'd be looking for. The lows appear to be around 50-60 with the highs betwen 70-80. Not too bad if you ask me, but then again, it's elevation is only 410 feet, whereas I'm at 2,000 so the wind won't be as bad either.

Agreed, but it was her pet, & of course being that I had to put the poor thing out of its misery, that's all that mattered. Later she realized the mistake & forgave me. I personally find that a natural reaction though. I was horrified when I was younger when my dad told me he killed one of the rabbits by breaking its neck. I couldn't believe that he would do such a thing, but being the rabbit had eaten rat fruit rat poison (SUPPOSED to be in the trees, not on the ground) & the rabbits legs were paralyzed, it wasn't until later that it was for the best. Like I said, I believe it to be a natural reaction at first hearing that someone that you love & trust had killed a beloved pet.
I think it's these instances that make the 'crimes' of Kervorkian acceptable, not everyone is fortunate enough to die peacefully in their sleep. | thevelvetcure

I know it wasn't intentional, but thanks for the reminder. I had to kill one of my ex's pet mouse because her (insert explitives here) set those sticky traps out when hers got lose. Needless to say, I tried my hardest to free the poor thing, but to no avail, her screeching was horrendous, and between my attempts at helping, and her struggling, I finally had to put her out of her misery. I caught hell that day, but there was nothing more I could do for the poor mouse. :'-( |
