Good on ya, Cheeky!!!!! I'm down 10 with my bike, weight training and watching the type and amount of foods I eat. I did have a bowl of ice cream yesterday as a monthly treat. I've been working hard on my business plan and have accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. Animal

Meeee???? Good????? Have you been in Sterlings private stock again???? I've given up on diets. I've started riding the bike in the gym an hour a day and working out with free weights. Ice cream was my treat for the month as I've gotten alot accomplished with my business plan in the last week. I plan on losing 30 to 40 lbs before PIP. Animal

I've been procrastinating. I need to get back to wok hand sewing the sleeves on a shirt. Animal

I think tightly woven materials have been used for centuries for the transportation of goods. My grandfather was a merchant seaman and whenever they came in port we would go onboard the ship. Everything in the hold was in bags, flour, rice, various grains and including sugar. He mostly traveled to the orient and India. Brought back some great stuff. Animal

I believe so, Sterling. Most were hand woven. We have on at home for the laundry. Animal

Nice Callenish!!! Animal

Geez Lilly ye almost made me choke on me ice cream Animal

Regarding sugar, here is a link to Wiki concerning the history of sugar. interesting enough, the Chinese were the first to cultivate sugar in a large scale. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_sugar#Mechanization Animal

****gets all doggy eyed again******* Animal

****looks at the emoticons***** where is that damn fainting one????? Animal

:D she called me "darlin' Animal

Michael, have you been to the Bo School Of Driving???? :D Seriously tho I'm glad you made it through fairly unhurt. Keep watching for signs of injury. They can crop up a month or so later. Stick with you guns with getting her cited. If I remember right you stated that she admitted she was using her cell phone. That alone should get her a negligent driving charge. Inventory anything and everything in your van and if it's broke, make them compensate you for it. If they balk, tell them to talk to your lawyer. Animal

Especially we pyrate hunters yeah....unhealty fer us pyrates. Stirling, are buccaneers exempt???? Animal PS: Welcome aboard Old Dog. Yer'll find a few of us "old dogs" about. Now a Nicaraguan rum if ye please. Animal

***gets all doggy eyed**** oooooooo she called me fuzzy!!!!! Thank you both Animal

Bump.....just because Animal

William, could you please post the list as you have it now. Some folks might think they've notified you but might have spaced off on it. Just a suggestion. Animal

Mr. Dogge, congratulation on the new member of your brood. He doesn't look a thing like you. Must get his looks from the missus. Speaking of which, how about a pic of the proud mother???? especially for those of us who have never met her and to prove you have one. Heck he could have slipped in the nursery and picked up any boy. That's what ya get fer picking up strange babies. All harrassment aside, give your missus our congrats and get her a lobster dinner. She deserves it.!!! Animal

Aye, I'm kinda pissed about it too but you have to do what ya have to do, I guess. Animal

I was wondering where you had gone off to, ya old fart!!!!! Sounds like you got the same diagnostic team as me wife, Susi. You didn't get shipped to ORMC here in Orlando during one of your fever induced hallucination? Susi says you probably are going to need to see a GI doctor to have all those boots removed after the many ass kickings you appear to have coming your way. Welcome back and glad your still with us and getting better. Animal

I am not attending Blackbeards as of this posting, unless something changes within the next month. I have wanted to be there as I've heard grand reports of this event. Have fun and drink one fer me. Animal

Happy Easter to all me family on the boards. Yep, that includes all o ya!!!! Thought about trying to put bunny ears on my cockatiels but I couldn't find any small enough. Besides trying to put anything on their heads results in many bitten and bloddy fingers and p***ed off birds. Animal

bloated and uncomfortable Hell with it, I'm starting a workout schedule around my work hours Animal

Haven't seen one with that many barrels but I believe it is a " pole gunne ". A black powder forum I belong to showed a clip of someone firing a single barreled one. They fired it using a slow match. I'll see if I can find the link and post it. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5O3Mvl3Ozo&feature=related Animal
