OK. Because there's stuff I'd set off on a big patio that I wouldn't want in my backpack.

OTOH, I don't really like Mg fires. They're so WHITE. Too bright for me. That's just me.

Keep in mind, too, that there are both people and dogs that just need that much exercise, or they get a little nuts. If you choose an active breed, and you're a hiker, you're kind of choosing to...

Yeah, but we're talking about what you put on your back to take into a wilderness area. Except for what I take along for water treatment, I don't like strong oxidizing agents like permanganate salts...

I second that. (Or third, or whatever it is by now.)

I understand what you mean. Absolutely, it is not the same thing! Still, sometimes you have to make do.

But you're in Maine! How far do you have to go to find some nature to walk through, anyway?...

Addictive Thinking: Understanding Self-Deception 2nd. Ed., Abraham Twerski.

Very interesting, especially since it differentiates the deception brought on by chemical use from the self-deceptive...

A sidewalk isn't much, but it beats a strait jacket.

Guilt as charged....and yet, I feel so little shame.
(I will try to amend my ways.)

And the AT is what? :D
Some self-medicate with destructive things, some with the sublime. Who's gonna argue with the latter?

That's why I'm thankful we have you in the service. A man ought to enjoy his vocation, especially if it involves self-sacrifice.

If there's nothing that actually needs destroying today, I hope...

It's one of those "force of nature" kinds of cool.....tornados, lightening strikes, eruptions, that kind of thing. You don't exactly want it to happen, you certainly don't want it to happen where...

Ooo, thermite reactions. I'm a chemist. There's nothing better than stuff that is chemically interesting AND blows up.

(BLEVYs....very destructive, almost always accidental, but I gotta love 'em.)

Yeah, well, a man has "needs", but that doesn't mean they are satisfied at the exact moment he feels the urge to indulge. If those "needs" weren't there in the first place, a great deal of the...

Working dogs are higher maintenance, but I'd take them any day over a "rat on a ribbon".



So you see! Dreams do come true.

I know you're joking, but as for the sargeant, soldiers blow things up when they decide to, not when they "need" to.
You can't run a military on people who can't control their own destructive...

Let's start with the fact that you "feel" mad, and not deal with the fact that most of us get angry because we have some combination of legitimate expectations that aren't being met and unrealistic...

A friend of mine just told me about a very old man, who was asked how he stayed so healthy and so happily married for so long.

The man explained that he and his wife had decided as a couple that...

Then that was just a dancing banana in your pocket. That's a relief...even though I'm sure you're a perfectly nice guy and all. ;)

You want to take over this world? Have at it, buddy, but be...

A banana AND glad to see me. That is more approval than I want, buddy.

I wouldn't want to look as if no one in the world would notice I was missing, no.

You are impoverished, and I don't care what they pay you.

The only thing wrong with the best Vermont cheddar is that it is almost too good to put on a cheeseburger. It is almost good beyond use.

Almost. It does make a wonderful burger. Oooo, and...

Well, yogi-ing is better than boring people to death. You've got me there.:D

If you pass on the favor, then I have no problem with it. How's that?

I like to look good enough that pictures taken aren't too embarrassing. I don't mind pictures that come back looking like, "Oh, there you are, out hiking." I would rather avoid, "Wow, you really used...
