I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you Think I'll live to be 80?' He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?' 'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!' Then he asked, 'Do you eat steaks and barbecued ribs? 'I said, 'No, my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!' Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?' 'No, I don't,' I said. He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?' 'No,' I said He looked at me and asked, 'Then, why do you even give a shit...’

"Satan / Cheney in "08" LOL! gotta love it.
Join the Ron Paul Revolution I do believe those are the exact words I said to a cousin this morning who was lamenting about the side effects of some drug that he doesn't even take and says he would refuse to take.
Turn your back on the sun and you only see the shadows.
'Then, why do you even give a shit...’ Just what the Dr. ordered :) Thanks, Tom!

I eat red meat (I like medium-rare steak), I drink white wine, I smoke a pipe, I eat lots of fat and oils. My cholesterol is perfect. So what if you live to be 100, if you never have any fun?

you get a cyber hug for that ;)
I know where to get some books demonstrating how we can we can leverage synergies into new paradigms. Do I get a hug?

Got it! I'm planning on voting for Ron Paul in Indiana primary come May.

Ya know that destroys your carefully cultivated image you have developed. "A guy walks into a saloon in south Arkansas. The tend says "What will you have"? In polished English the mans says "I'll have a glass of your best white wine, if you please, sir". The saloon goes silent as the barkeep pours the wine. All eyes are on the newcomer. "I can tell your not from around here fella, what do you do?" "I am a taxidermist", he replied. "Ah what...?" "You know, a taxidermist, I mount animals" said the stranger. The bar keeps face brightened as a large smile came over him as he looked to the regulars in his bar. "It's OK boys, he's one of us!"
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Ya know that destroys your carefully cultivated image you have developed. I don't like beer or hard liquor, just a dry German white wine called Kabinett. I also smoke Romeo y Julieta cigars from Cuba when I can get them, and have a meerchaum pipe. I also have about 1000 books. Just because I live in a hollowed-out tree in the Ozarks doesn't mean I'm a complete hillbilly!

Love ya man. Help me build an alternative house one day. Like the earth ships in N Mexico, but not right for all places. Have wanted to do a Indian Housing project in my homeland in S Arkansas where I would try to authentically build many of the Native Americans housing structures, wickwicks, palmetos, pits, kivas, Mesa Verde styles all in one place so one can admire the the great varity and sophistication of what the Americans were doing before whitey came, along with a simple cultural exhibits. The Salmon Ruins around Farmington NM were the inspiration for the idea, and with a hands on builder, and a chain saw and a machete (not claiming to build it with stone age tools, I like back hoes) would not be too difficult to construct an interesting exhibit of native American housing styles. Think a trader's cabin with cuban cigars, fine wines and cheese would be a good way to end the experience. All major credit card accepted.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Sure, but you better check the housing codes. You can sometimes get around them by building something too small to be covered by the code. Then someday you can hook them all together.

Ya know the tricks, Yert, that is a big part of the builder. I sure don't.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Just because I live in a hollowed-out tree in the Ozarks doesn't mean I'm a complete hillbilly! I also have about 1000 books. Does too. A complete cuzin hillbilly, first class, and you use the books to prop up furniture.
I don't think there are much in the way of housing codes in Hempstead County Arkansas. At least, not that are enforced.

Aw shucks...
You have got to come clean at some point Deacon.
"Satan / Cheney in "08" Yahoo! If true, you are free and clear! Most building codes are way too strict and add thousands of dollars to a house. Without them, I could build a decent house for $10,00.00.

I use them for furniture. I throw a sheet over them and then use them for a bed and a chair.
