At the risk of sounding like Dorothy.......there's no place like home. :)

I did leave out the part about live trapping. That's exactly what I did. And I caught him, even made a video of the big adventure. I transported this industrious little guy to an abandoned hunting shack four miles away and enjoyed the bliss of it all for about three weeks. Then one day he...

Before I drift off topic, I'd like to say that I think we are, to a high degree, biologically predispositioned toward specific behaviors. For sure experience and culture shape us, but innate traits that we are born with are like the needle on a compass pointing to magnetic north. Some of us...

Hey RP, I'm sending good thoughts your way, and good thoughts for you too, Mono. I think you did the right thing in taking a stance on truth, "your truth." Hang in there. Sometimes the greatest struggles produce the greatest and most positive results. Barry

Just an off day......as Ygirl says,.....it's my "Peewins" getting the best of me. :(

I'm a rescue kind of guy,.... dogs, cats, insects, reptiles, and people. I'm still waiting for someone to rescue me. Pathetic!

I don't think you could have the double F. It would have to be something like WTFH. :-)

I prefer New Balance shoes only because I am able to find a suitable width. Most of the top line shoes are fine. You can really get lost in all of the data; suppination, pronation, high arch, etc., but it is important if you are set on doing some high distance mileage. There is good information...

I played drums and was lead singer in a rock band in high school. I also "play at" a six string acoustical guitar. That's an on again, off again, kind of thing. I can't read a lick of music. Wish I could. I love the blues, some jazz and classical. Pink Floyd, Shawn Phillips, George Benson and...

I have been accused, at times, of sharing things that are too personal, and perhaps this is one of those times. River, your description of the maturation process we all go through instantly brought back a memory that is forty years old. I served in the Army in the Republic of South Vietnam in...

Perfect. That rings clear and true. Thanks!

LOL! I love it. I find your response alluring. Wow, what does that say about me? I have always had difficulty in finding a clear separation between the definitions of these two words. Sympathy = the ability to enter into, understand, or share somebody else's feelings, to think or feel alike...

Arpeggi, I can't improve on the information that has been given to you by the other folks that have responded to this thread. Excellent information from all! The thing that caught my attention in your above quote is that you make this statement as though you are an objective observer concerned...

Fantastic!!!

Sigh.......I'm afraid not, and you'll have to leave the WOK at home too.

Ouch! Should I be offended? I have had some backpacking experience though. All of the Florida trail, The Big Cypress Swamp and some of the Everglades. My one time goal was to do the Appalachian from end to end, but that goal was lost in the shuffle of everyday life. The main things to consider...

WOW! You're the man!! What a great post. Barry

Where I'm going with this thread will be a bit controversial. You have defined "part" of the problem-- what is going on in your head. That dialog sets the stage for the outcome. For example, I've had conversations in my head before meeting with a particular customer with whom I have an...

I think most people would agree that mankind is comprised of mind, body, and spirit. True, we could debate almost endlessly the definition of spirit, but I think most people recognize that our very essence is linked to a common source of energy, an energy that we have recognized and defined in...

I may be way off the mark here, but the issue that seemed to jump out at me in reading your posts are the conflicts you are feeling over trading a significant friendship and relationship with your mom for lesser relationships based on adventure. It's situations like this that almost demand...
