Six months ago, I went to Europe for the first time. I went with my girlfriend and her parents. Her father was stationed at CFB Lahr in Germany for roughly 15 years. For our trip …

For starters, you may have problems with a one way ticket to Athens. When you get to Greece, customs are not going to be very excited that you have no return ticket from Greece, a…

Second the recommendation for the Eurail pass. The trains go EVERYWHERE. It's the best way to travel. We actually skipped the hostels and found inexpensive hotels and pensiones al…

When in the UK, don't just stick to London like everyone else seems to. Check out some of the other tourist goodies on offer further up the country (i.e. Warwick Castle, Hadrian's …

So I've found a buddy to come along with me and we've worked out the countries that we're for sure going to visit. Starting in London (airfare is the cheapest..) then to the north…

Aww man, that sucks dude sorry to hear. Congrats on your son

Well, it's now more than two weeks later. I learned I did not get the job on Friday, the 16th. How did I learn this? From a letter which rejected me for the wrong job--one I hadn't…

The DM5 brain is out of the question for me because it doesn't have an aux input. I liked the Hart, but their Prodigy set didn't have the features of the DTXpressII. The DTX set ha…

Glad to hear that you're happy with your set. As for hooking it up to your mac, you have two choices: MIDI and audio. In either case, if you're looking at software too, it may be w…

So I found the Yamaha DTXpress II set, new, for $800. It's a done deal! I've been playing around with it for a few hours and I love it! The hi-hat sounded dead, but I easily li…

Trouble with those smooth stones is that they don't so much soak it up as spread it around...

Good luck to you, TheIceMan. The waiting game is no fun at all... The wondering if you've overplayed your hand or whether they're just busy. I wish I had some advice for ya, but kn…

DigitalEl: Glad the interview went well. I can relate to what you're going through. Currently I'm waiting to hear back from an organization about a job. Since it's long distance ev…

Thanks again, everybody. I think I did pretty damn well. The woman interviewing me was, as predicted, an accomplished interviewer. That being said, she was running behind and I sat…

I think one point that has been sorely missed here is that the nature of the poo itself dictates the manner in which one handles it. It's alot easier to deal with a cleanly pinched…

I can remember my grandmother going during our walks on the farm. I never had to poo though. Have used an outhouse on more than one occasion.

Been there, done that... and didn't enjoy it!

Wow. Freaks me out. I got an email from that guy not 3 weeks ago. I too am an avid user of mailblocks.com (it really does work, no spam), and it has changed my email life - for tha…

What a thread. Anyway, Ken, there is a book just for you: A classic outdoor guidebook.
