In the past week, two different people have mentioned these sites to me. I have started writing for both of them, but I don't really know much about either. Do you write for either one? Or have you discovered a new site that's fun...

batcountry72 Please keep in mind that I posted that almost 6 months ago. I haven't used them in awhile. Unfortunately, writing had to be put on the back burner while I'm finishing my graduate program. When I used them they were very fair, and it gives you an opportunity to...

To that effect, I am going to ask some questions of you my dear friends, answer at your own peril, and be warned, it is not often you get asked questions quite this powerful. and if your curious about that, be sure to ask...

batcountry72 Passive control is just a way to give direction without ever really giving an order. I do it too. Usually subconsciously. I don't run around all day wasting my energy barking out orders. I set a particular, and necessary, standard. I make my expectations &...

batcountry72 Now ya see, I have this really cool fusion version of Redneck. I combine the tropics with good ol' fashioned southern hospitality. I just moved from Melbourne Beach, FL. Where we turned the backyard into a beach. Tore up the turf, trucked in sand, put in 2...

batcountry72 I'm a gun toting, civil rights minded, civilian that has never even had a cavity. I'm currently finishing my M.A. I hunt, fish, and adamantly defend my home, friends, and family. Innocent people die daily, and not from friendly fire. The world is a dangerous...

batcountry72 Sounds like a blast. My uncle is a deacon at one of our local churches. I come in often to set up a menu, and direct traffic. I pull off a few of their functions, and major holidays (Thanksgiving, Easter, and Christmas). I love it! Most of the endeavors go...

batcountry72 Those are great ideas too! Whenever I cook for a group, or friends & family, I like to go global. Every country has their own version of the family style dinner. I lived in Germany for a couple of years. The food is great. I'm a brewmaster and R&D chef. We...

A couple of days ago, I was at the market with friends. On one of the stalls, the young Spanish stall holder was reaching something from a high rail for someone. He had to take down the price card, which was held in place with a...

batcountry72 Fortune favors the bold! That is just one of those things that happen to adventurous travelers. I could definitely see a screenplay in that. Obviously, a chic flick. With stories like that we'll never get Canellita back from Spain. America will miss you:)

batcountry72 I haven't heard of them. At least, I don't know that I have. I tried to pull them up. I ran across a company called International Geosynthetics Society which seems to be what you're talking about. If you have a link I would love to do the legwork on them....

batcountry72 It's a valid question that many of us have found ourselves asking. What, when, where, how, why? What's wrong with asking these fundamental questions? The idea behind any fixed position in religion lends itself to questions. Without questions and answers no one...

It's that time of year again, we move our clocks forward an hour this Saturday night. Do you think this is a waste or necessary? Do you think it helps conserve energy? Or waste your energy moving all of your clocks?

batcountry72 Yeah. It's a drag driving home from work in the winter and it's already getting dark at 6 p.m. You start to feel like you're just living to work.

batcountry72 Yeah. I had read a few articles on DST, and got a couple of them muddled together. There's a lot of info out there and opinions are all over the place about the effectiveness of it. There doesn't seem to be conclusive studies done on DST's place in the modern...

batcountry72 You're going to be sleeping the same once your body adjusts to the time change. 6-8 hours, is 6-8 hours no matter what time it is. You just lose an hour on that first night. We do save daylight because we adjust the time to maximize the amount of time in...

batcountry72 You're allowed to piss off whomever you like. It makes no difference to me. I was just responding to the last line of your query. The point is that faith is just that...faith. It doesn't matter if it's oriented towards religion or not. If someone has faith in...

batcountry72 We did assist. We gave them everything they requested. They just didn't need that much from us. I don't think people understand how steady the Chilean economy is. It just isn't a deprived, underdeveloped country. I'll have to do the appropriate legwork to find...
