You're exactly right with respect to the details of "implementing" a dream. Especially a finanical dream. I think Pook is all about "lighting the fire" underneath everyone but leaving the direction up to the reader (after all, decision = risk, risk = good). Let's take the "fabulously...

An idea would be to make this forum "hidden" (ie: impossible to access like the Mods forum, but isn't even visible on the front page) to anyone who: is not logged in doesn't have a valid number (decimal or integer) in the Age and/or if the Birthday doesn't correspond to it has a valid...

Some bodybuilders go so far as to say that ZMA is a ripoff. It's really the Zinc and Vitamin B6 that are important; the Magnesium isn't really needed since Mag. deficiency in bodybuilders is rare. The idea is you buy Zinc tablets (gluconate or picolinate > chelate) separately and much...

There's a severe lack of honor and integrity in most places I see today. Especially with our younger generation (<25). I think we're the Sesame Street generation (you're special, you're entitled, it's never your fault, enjoy life without responsibility). I also see it in places and moments...

vBulletin (the software that runs this board) comes with the feature that you want already. Check their documentation, here. I am not sure if that feature is in the 2.x series, which is what Allen runs (see the bottom of this page), but it is definitely present in 3.x. Deleting users after...

The trick is not to force it, really. (Socially relaxing, not the stick thing. :D) As someone who's been there, I can relate. It's just one of those tiny mental things that could conceivably be changed in a very good, eventful day. But realistically, you'll have to take the path...

You're not the only one. Many men are into it just because it's fun; they have ONSs for the thrill of it, in itself. Many others (probably more than the first category) aren't sure; they know it's "the thing to do" according to society so they just go for it without really questioning it...

In self-defense Jeez... And women wonder why I'm scared to death to admit to liking feet when I get around to it. Answer: 90% of us, myself included, are normal and there's probably one of us in just about every social circle (you'd be surprised), but we still have to categorize ourselves...

I think that this may be what the original poster was getting at. It's good to be picky. Very good. The purpose of being picky is to find an ideal woman. (I'm not talking about being a Player or anything; you're talking about being picky.) The questions you deal with when you date every...

Terrible... (This post is long because it'll do you a big favor if you read the whole thing with a clear head.) Was anyone else just completely bothered by this crap? This is one of those cases where if you stand up and be a man, it either won't matter or else you'll be dead. Moral...

Ignore Lists That's why this board software comes with Ignore Lists. Click the "profile" button of the user you want to ignore, and you should see "Add So-and-So to Your Ignore List". Hope that helps.

Good work. I should hope that anyone who doubts the power of self-improvement and the rest of the DJ material sees this post. I think we had a "Success Stories" area once... should it be brought back? Heh... only two? As you said, you're more interested in the experience than you are...

Speaking as a fresh CS grad... Honestly, I've rarely run into what you've said. When asked, "so, what's your major?" (and they always ask!) don't lie or anything. Why lie if you're proud of what you do and like your major? If she don't like it, that's her problem, not yours. Are you...

I ran into this once. Good news: you have one-itis, but it doesn't look like a terminal case. That's good... Bad news: it's been two months, and she still needs time to heal? Most women like to be back in a relationship pretty quickly (see the monkey and the vine swinging analogy...

I'm guessing that losing weight is your goal (read: losing bodyfat, not muscle) since you're both running and on Atkins. I don't like running either (you might find that you like cycling or something else better), but there's a form of cardio that you do literally only 12-15 minutes a day...
