    Fvck I got centipedes!

    These are easily the most disturbing things I've seen crawling around. I wonder if they have some preternatural smarts, too - I've been about to smash a couple of them when they've literally taken a plunge off the wall on which they were sitting to get away from me. They're incredibly fast...

    Seeing gifted people doing their thing

    Drywall taping as an art form Was waiting at a local mall for my turn to come up at a dentists office. A&S had recently closed, and a workman was prepping a huge piece of drywall that covered the whole internal entrance to that store, leaving a blank wall until the space was...

    why so few hot babes work in companies?

    Nanci Griffith has a cool song about the choices attractive women sometimes make in life, called "Drive in Movies and Dashboard lights" Do a Google search on the title, in quotes, and it'll come right up.

    I Love Guns!!! What Is Your Dream Gun/rifle?

    You don't need that much dough. Go to Google and use "Garand + civilian marksmanship program" as search terms to find your way to an M1 with a much friendlier price tag.

    financial information - real estate, investing etc.

    We (meaning humans in general) keep making more people, but no one is really making more land. Real estate has to go up, although it may take occasional pauses, as it appears to be doing now in the NY area.

    how do you study effectively?

    Bible's point is well taken. Information that flows from your eyes through your hands and onto paper has a better chance of being retained. I would also recommend using the Internet to search for additional material on the subject you're trying to study. Maybe there's a Wikipedia article...

    *Question* SUPERCONFIDENCE Moods

    Isn't that the essence of NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming)? To start to associate your higher "states" (especially confident, productive, etc), with a specific trigger, so you can summon those states at will or nearly at will?

    King of Cars

    Although I felt "pumped" by the overall feel of the show, I didn't like the "don't let the customer leave without making a deal" ethos. You know, the way people are living so close to the edge of financial disaster, the last thing they need is to walk into that dealership, where I'm sure they...

    Small business ideas???

    Actually it's not a bad thought at all. From what I've read we do have some truly successful entrepreneurs on this board, so why not solicit their advice? Throughout my life, I've gotten some good advice, and interesting ideas to follow up on from people one wouldn't normally expect to have...

    Making it taste better

    Sorry had to laugh... in the Scarface outtakes, a bonus feature illustrates how the TV Version was cleaned up. When the police challenge Tony on the appearance of his face, he declares it came from "eating p----" in the movie version, and "Eating Pineapple" in the TV version. Man, must have...

    good looking guys dont need special openers, negs, ****y and funny etc?

    I was in Whole foods and saw a tallish (maybe 5'10") guy who was pudgy all around and not handsome at all with a slim, petite blonde in a jogging outfit. Maybe he has great game, and he just continued playing until he hit the jackpot.

    Going to Invest Using Sharebuilder

    I started investing in IRAs at the age of 18, and everyone in finance, business, financial planning or accounting I've spoken to says the same thing: "It's great that you did that" followed by "I wish I did that at your age." IRA compound over time - the earlier you start, the more powerful...

    Why do some people "make it" here at Sosuave and some people don't...your thoughts?

    It's all about the distance between thought and action... One of my clients is struggling to make a living... he has thousands of dollars worth of "success" tapes, videos, and books strewn throughout his home... most of them unopened. My truly wealthy clients, almost to a one, have zero...

    Going to Invest Using Sharebuilder

    If you're buying a single share of a $40 stock, for example, and you're charged a $4 commission, you have, in a sense, lost 10% of the value of that particular equity.

    How to Succeed in Business

    A-Unit is right "on the money" here. Treat a regular "job" like an entrepreneur treats their business - be serious about the work, strive to do it better (but work smarter at it, not necessarily harder), improvise and innovate as best you can. As for sales people with good tech knowledge -...
