Why do you waste your time responding to this TROLL? It's pieces of
shit like these that have destroyed A.R.B.R. among other groups.
TRASH such as this cannot survive on the moderated forums where most
of the DECENT people have moved.

Well, I guess only a hard workout will work. There's a sand trail
further down that I need to do and that's hardcore --but hot.

Either that or the spinning bike.

Yeah you want to entertain yourself without fixing the larger picture.
You are totally insignificant in a world where people is judged by the

On the other hand, unmoderated forums are only good for one thing ...
kicking ass! This will result in someone having a sore ass and someone else
having a sore foot.

Certainly tru Ed!!!! I would disagree with that comment I see about
"moderated forums being boring"........Why would that be I wonder?
Boring for those that are unable to continually post dribble I would

Have a look at 3 unmoderated Usenet newsgroups - 2 high traffic
ones that "work fairly well", and a lower volume one that is outright
98% genteel.

sci.electronics.design
(has excessive political OT stuff and a couple loons and a few
semi-loons)

alt.home.repair
(gets a little bit of sore asses and sore feet and some excess OT
stuff)

sci.engr.lighting
(Traffic is on the low side, but can you believe this genteel forum
could possibly be an unmoderated Usenet newsgroup?)

How would the sand trail work with the most cooling clothes possible?
Maybe a Greek style exomis?

IIRC, you sound like you're close to a beach. If you can't work out
with a bike, then how about some modification of jogging to have half of
your body underwater? What about swimming?

The trouble with a moderated forum is that it depends on the excellence of
the moderator. Frankly, it is lot of work to do that and almost no one will
ever want to do it. Only fully staffed websites are capable of it.

Such forums tend to be boring because almost nothing of a controversial
nature can be said without someone taking offense. As a result everyone says
only the most innocuous things. I think one of the main virtues of the
Internet is that the common man gets an opportunity to say whatever he wants
without being subject to an editor. However, this often means that the
lowest common denominator prevails. The secret is never to take an
unmoderated forum seriously. Just have fun and enjoy!

Widely blamed, though the anti-carbers like to say fructose is bad for
the same reasons that calories other than carbs are supposed to be OK.
Except when they mention a metabolism pathway for fructose and fail to
mention non-carb calories have a similar metabolic pathway (excess
calories in any form get converted to triglycerides).

I would be hawkish against excessive calories, especially "empty
calories" of all kinds, including but not only sugar and HFCS. That
includes mayonnaise, which is mostly vegetable oil. Most mayo has even
higher calorie density than sugtar has.

It makes life miserable to all and it just killed a girl from a school
nearby. The driver sits there blocking the path looking one way, and
you are deciphering if he sees you or not --often through tinted
windows-- and take the plunge...

This is the main danger I find on bicycles as well when you decide
that sidewalks is the only survival strategy. I'm not sure the red
light camera catches that, but the problem is so widespread it
deserves special attention. Here turning right on red is legal, so
that should be called into question.

Sometimes they just look at your face and you don't know if it's safe
and you play a gamble. They figure "pedestrian" means insignificant.

I definitely favor LIVE CAMERAS to catch all this action and predation
on the streets. They could be placed anywhere and would allow us to
roll back to a particular accident. PREDATORS BEWARE!

The British are really advanced in this cat and mouse game, where the
mouse is the driver and the cat is the authorities that must be one
step ahead in the game.

This is a neat solution --almost perfect-- for catching predatory
drivers:

http://www.speedcam.co.uk/gatso6.htm

Notice how they are undetectable by RADAR, can be set up to monitor
SPEED and can be complemented with FAKE cameras so the predator never
knows where the trap is. The latter is much better than placing those
empty police cars in parking lots to act as scarecrows.

I like to play a little game with the mouse, I mean the drivers. It's
sort of a guessing game...

We put as many fake yellow boxes as real ones and we keep 'em
guessing.

Look at the decoys here:

Again, if you have an issue with the speed limit, just don't ignore
the law. I do agree they set the speed low in order to trap you in
some cases, but then fight the law.

How about setting lane discipline where the right lane is the slow
lane, and we stop a greater danger: zigzagging around traffic at high
speed.

The most stupid thing though is to talk on the phone, often at lower
speeds.

BY RELYING ON CAMERAS WE CAN FREE THE POLICE FROM AMBUSHING SPEEDERS,
AND CONCENTRATE ON MULTITASKING.

Thanks for this suggestion. I had to change my settings to get it to work, but I
now have this access available.

I have to say, I've never heard of the reason she quotes first (you'll
have to click to find out what it is) and I'd love to hear readers'
responses to her response.

Anyway, I thought the second reason, which IS listed below, was pretty
heart-breaking, too. Again, I'd love to hear readers' responses to her
last paragraph.

http://www.buffalonews.com/life/columns-advice/miss-manners/article401431.ece

There can be valid reasons for declining a wedding invitation. For
example, that you used to be married to the bride or bridegroom and
would have trouble keeping a straight face while listening to that
person reciting lifetime vows.

Or that you don't recognize any of the names on the invitation.

Or that attending a "dream" wedding in an exotic location would
require more money and time than you are able to spend on your own
dreams.

Or that it will be a show without substance—a rerun —because the
couple is already married.

Fortunately, such excuses do not have to be stated. The proper
negative response to a formal wedding invitation is simply that those
invited "regret that they are unable to accept the kind
invitation. . ."

Nor, since Miss Manners knows what you are thinking, is it strictly
necessary for those declining the invitation to send a present.A
wedding invitation is not an invoice, however much some who send them
contrive to make them appear so.

But she is disturbed at reasons Gentle Readers have given her for
feeling that they must decline invitations to weddings that they would
dearly like to attend..........

(snip)

...........Then there are those who decide not to attend when they
find a wedding is to be black tie. "I have enjoyed discussing my
friend's wedding and have been eagerly looking forward to receiving
her wedding invitation," writes another Gentle Reader. Yet she wants
to know how she can decline that invitation because "a black tie
affair can be very expensive for those who never engage in them. I
haven't worn dresses in at least 15 years. My husband wore black tie
for our daughter's wedding, and I wore very dressy separates. I
suspect my husband will only ever wear black tie again for our son's
wedding."

This breaks Miss Manners' heart. Please—cut back on the money spent on
a wedding present, but don't skip a friend's momentous event. Surely
she would rather have you there—or overlook your faking it with those
dressy separates and a dark suit for your husband. Wouldn't she?

(end)

I made the mistake of buying a single handle faucet and not get the
replacement seals at the same time.
Now I forget where I bought it.
I think I'm pushing 70. b'day tomorrow.
