No you don't.

I got my conditional black belt last night.

Ouch. It hurts when I move. Anything.

I saw Karate Jesus last night.

[fly on the wall]
OK Beestie, we'll give you your black belt on ONE CONDITION:

(multiple choice)

a) You promise to do all your chores before logging on to the cellar
b) You agree to stop teasing your sister
c) You only use your powers for evil and not good
d) You refrain from saying "Hassan, CHOP!"

"doctor it hurts when i do this" "well then don't do this" :p

take a long hot bath :)

Holy shit! I'm sorry, BH. That must have been awful.

How's this for a first post? My son was involved in a robbery in which a 24y/o mother of 2 was stabbed to death. At first I adopted the theory, my son, right or wrong but over time I've seen no remorse and regret standing by him.

I'm beginning to like the burnig kitten story a lot more.

Welcome Newmanae. That is a dramatic entrance. I can't imagine how difficult that must be for you. I don't know what I'd do in your shoes.
How long ago was this?

It was 8 yrs ago, my sons been in jail since about 3 months after it happened, he turned 26 recently and will get out in 7 yrs.

Pacifism is unnatural to the human condition. If you restrict your urges for violence you will one day explode in rage and climb to the top of the nearest belltower with a high powerered rifle.

...so it is important that you get yourself to the range so when you snap you can do some good.

Naw, people that go to the range regularly, seldom snap.:unsure:

I'm sitting in my office on Sunday evening with about a week's worth of work staring at me. For some reason I haven't been able to concentrate lately and I've let it pile up. I have to get it done by 8:30 in the morning and I'm STILL unable to get a good head of steam going.

I'm here, aren't I? I have no business surfing the net. I should be working.

It's really starting to play with my sanity. I have a good 8 hours of work to do. So now I'm going to start for real. Really.

After I get a burger. Dammit.
