Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

Happy Holiday Birthday, guys! :prettyprincess:

Very belated Happy Birthday, guys! :prettyprincess:

Right now they are having a Christmas sale of 60% off.

Everything I've read indicates that his mother was doing exactly as you suggest. Now what?

Gene, you forgot to mention how much they also like shovels. Good luck Jacob. I think that the only luck you'll need is getting the letters of recommendation in on time.

I'll let Dusty answer for himself, Steve. But my reading of what he wrote is that he is using the imposition of no gay marriage as one of those things he doesn't like. So I think that you two are in agreement here.

^This. Have a great Christmas in the Pacific, Raffy. Everybody else have a great holiday season or just great days, as appropriate.

Me too. I'd much rather have a Seamaster than a similar Rolex.

@Ryan - Of course we don't want to arm teachers and other private citizens in the hope that it will reduce or end these kinds of shootings. I shudder to think how untrained (or poorly trained) armed people would react in such a situation. Take for example the "Batman" movie theater shooting. If everybody in the theater would have been armed, I suspect that many more people would have died due to the panicked movie goers wildly shooting in an attempt to defend themselves. IMO, one of the biggest, if not the biggest reasons we have more gun violence than other first and second world countries is that we have a "gun culture". It's culturally drummed into our heads from an early age that using guns are a good way to solve problems. Our movies reflect it. Our computer games reflect it. Our literature reflect it. Our foreign policy often reflects it. Unfortunately the reality of using guns to solve problems rarely matches our cultural beliefs. Until we can change this gun culture, we will continue have gun violence incidents.

One victim, the shooter's mother, was armed. The shooter used guns she owned to shoot her and the others. Being armed not only didn't help her, it helped lead to her death. When it comes to guns and gun ownership, you're a paranoid idiot. Now I can go back to ignoring the nonsense you post.

Belated Happy Birthday. :prettyprincess:

Very belated Happy Birthday, Tom. :prettyprincess:

I suggest that you don't take Parasitology or you will become a vegetarian again, at least for a long while. Ah, then he was the very model of a modern Major General?

Yes, they show their dinosaur heritage. What are your plans with the babies? If you want them to be human friendly, you need to take them away from their parents and raise them yourself. Then they will be "hand fed" and will be more bonded to humans.

Both bikes look great. However, this picture points out to me how much I aesthetically prefer a horizontal top tube. Maybe I'm old school, but I'm probably just old. Stop drinking alcohol for a month while changing no other part of your diet or activity level. I bet that you'll lose weight. I also bet that I would too.

Belated Happy Birthday, Haj. :prettyprincess: I hope that it was a good one.

Belated Happy Birthday, Gene. :prettyprincess: It's great to see you here. Hopefully I'll get to see you in person on your next visit to the left coast.

The "I've forgotten my password" is broken. Neither anti-spam task nor the data entry field for it is displayed. So the password recovery request always fails.

Belated Happy Birthday, Bryan. Congrats in starting to save for a ring. Allison is definitely a keeper.

In. Thanks for organizing this, Nate. It's a great way to get to know other HC members.

Vicki, you seem to have a "nice bike" addiction. Do you know of a good place where you could get that treated?
