Reply to Barry Speaks His 'Roid-Fueled Mind in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

On one hand, you have Barry claiming that all he KNOWINGLY took is flaxseed oil and arthritis rub. On the other hand, you have Barry saying that the media should mind its own business and get out of his life. If he is the proud "champion", Greywar, who has beaten his past and the odds to become the home run machine that stands before the plate today, then he should fess up and put the onus on the reporters to get over it. Look at the Pet

Barry Speaks His 'Roid-Fueled Mind in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

So Barry Bonds has finally come out and talked to the media, this time not under oath. He felt free to lash out at the media for dogging him and speculating that he didn't actually earn the home runs, the MVP, the other many awards and accolades that have been lavished upon his long career.<a href="http://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/ny-spbonds234154890feb23,0,

If a person was a threat to himself (which he clearly is) through a diagnosed medical (psychological) condition, I can understand seeking help. But the government getting involved is a little much ("heavyhanded", I think you punned). Surely we can get this boy on a twelve step program (if he can take twelve steps...)

1000 Calories Down/89,000 To Go... in Diet JoeUser Forums

By my estimation, I am 25 pounds overweight. (If we're looking at the Army figures, I am actually about 40 pounds over their expectation for my height, age, etc.) By that reckoning, I need to burn 90,000 calories more than I take in to get myself back into shape. No pressure... 45 minutes on the stair climber becomes almost exactly 1000 calories. (It was actu

Wow, I spent last night online creating my blog. And I spent the rest of the night tossing and turning. I spent the morning on the Stairclimber with my mind racing. I find myself combing news sources, life happenings, etc., for material on which I could put something, anything in my new blog. How do you guys handle the stress?!?! </fo

Reply to He came home in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Home again, very cool indeed. I wonder how life would have been if I hadn't gone on a mission. I loved my time in London, England, and will always think fondly about the poeple I met there. My favorite person was a Zimbabwean, a professional Michael Jackson impersonator who we met while he was "between gigs" bussing tables at Pizza Hut in Stevenage, England. What a guy. Very odd, but very cool. He got baptized in Feb 1991 and sealed in the temple

Reply to Entertainment has gotten better in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

I gotta give you props that many of your points are valid. Especially in light of Sci-Fi's updating of the BG show. I watched the show voraciously as a 9-year-old, and loved it. It always held a place in my heart. Then I watched the reruns leading up to the new version and couldn't stand the drivel it actually was. What was exciting for a pre-teen doesn't hold a candle to what is extertaining for me today. (For the record, I watch the new BG e

I actually miss some aspects of Utah (grew up there), but not terribly. Don't get me wrong, I am making broad generalizations here. There are many nice things about living in Utah. But the vibe there got old real quick. And I am very happy living in Texas. And was in Monterey, California (my prev

I am a DAD. in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

My wife and I are trying to persevere through our fourth pregnancy. We are gluttons for punishment, I guess. My children are Benjamin, 8; Dylan, 6; and Emilie, 3. We are very happy together, and my wife and I are going to go for number four. It's a boy, we discovered last week, and his name will probably be Zachary. We decided pretty early on that we didn't w

I am a Republican, though I take great pride in knowing that while I have a desire to see the Republican agenda move forward, I do not just vote mindlessly, based on parenting or any other external influence. I try to be as open-minded as possible when it comes to politics, and try to "vote my conscience" as best I can. It just so happens that my conscience leads me

Hello all. Thank you for taking the time to peruse my life. I am in the Army, a Sergeant in an MI unit. (Same unit as greywar, pseudosoldier, SSG Geezer, etc.) I have my wife and kids here at home with me, and I am trying to juggle all the many responsibilities of being a father, husband, soldier, cub scout leader, grad student, church leader, etc. I have been so luck

Reply to No, Playing "Combat" Solitaire *Doesn't* = a Bronze Star in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I met a guy in PLDC that was a carpenter. Yes, a carpenter. And the dude had 14 AAMs, multiple ARCOMS, etc., as a SPECIALIST. Here's the thing: whenever his unit got a call for a reviewing stand or whatever, their daily duties were perceived as "above and beyond" because who wields a hammer in today's modern Army?!?! So he and the guys in his unit would get an AAM, almost automatically. Figures. He had the bling, that's for sure.

Reply to Candidate Hillary Clinton - Not "Anybody But Her" in Politics JoeUser Forums

Hillary has read the writing on the wall: that no hand-wringing, whiney, liberal president except Carter has been elected when there is a threat to the country. (Carter's election was just a knee-jerk reaction against anyone involved with Watergate.) Bill Clinton was elected when we thought the Berlin Wall was down, therefore the war was over. Democrats cannot fight wars. (Remember Carter's "it's all right to cry" address to the nation?) It jus
