DoubleBarrelled You can't *ban* words. This is America. You can say any word you want to. Free speech. And as to their "ban", it's not a law and it doesn't have an consequences. So basically it's useless.

DoubleBarrelled Heehee, I've been on the *right* side of too many practical jokes. But that's for another time. I guess the worst offense against me was commited by one of my best friends. He was teaching me some Spanish phrases. Basically, he taught me how to say this...

DoubleBarrelled @DoubleBarrelled (28) • United States 8 Mar 07

You know the deal. Every government and public health group recommends a certain amount of daily exercise, usually about half an hour. Do you find the time to do this every day? Do you walk, walk, go to the gym? How important do...

DoubleBarrelled Hey man, I'm an avid mountain biker. The bset advice I can give is to practice! Ride as much as possible. The best way to learn how to bike is by doing it. Sure, you'll fall a little bit, but just be smart and don't push yourself *too* far past what you think...

DoubleBarrelled I think you're absolutely right. Meeting people off the internet isn't any different than meeting them in a bookclub or something like that.

DoubleBarrelled Out of the breads that I make, I'd have to say my favorite is the Swiss "Zopf". It's so good because it has a lot of butter mixed in the dough, which makes it very rich. Here's a picture of a loaf I baked.

Shin splints

thyst07 @thyst07 (2079) • United States 7 Feb 07

What exactly are they, and what do you do about it if you get them? What remedy works best for you?

1 response

DoubleBarrelled Most shin splits are actually microscopic fractures in your bone. Over time they become calcified (filled with calcium) and your bone heals stronger than before. I had shin splints for the first year that I ran, but never after that. Over time, your body will...

DoubleBarrelled I haven't read Debt of Honor but I know it's not his best work. The Sum of all Fears, Rainbow Six, and Without Remorse are ones that I've read that I thought were great. His Op-Center series mostly isn't worth the time. If I were you, I'd try rainbow Six for...

DoubleBarrelled I've read it at least three times. It's my favorite novel of all time. John Clark is a total badass, a fallen hero, a fallen angel. I hope the movie does the book justice. It has potential to be a blockbuster movie. They haven't cast Clark yet. The succes...

DoubleBarrelled 9 times out of 10 it's gas. Don't eat so soon before running, don't eat processed or fatty foods, drink water throughout the day, and you should rarely, if ever, get cramps. When you *do* get one, what you want to do is move around the gas. It hurts...
