Looks like I need to start buying all the ammo, and building AR's and buying AK's that I can afford.1 point

I try not to curse - it's lazy, it goes against biblical teachings and the way I was brought up, but... God damn it all. Found out in a special meeting at work this afternoon that a good work friend decided yesterday afternoon to kill his two dogs, set his house on fire, and kill himself. Had smokes with this guy every day, had not a clue that anything was wrong - pretty happy (it seemed), go lucky kind of guy. I wish he could have found the courage to reach out to someone - maybe he'd still be with us. Finding it difficult to realize he's gone. God damn it. Semper Fi, R.I.P. my friend, I'll miss you. ************************* just felt the need to vent. If you're feeling like you can't go on, reach out to someone, anyone, call one of those hotlines, do something. Someone will listen to you, someone can probably help you, someone wants to help you.1 point

This was forwarded to me by a friend. Keeping balance and perspective in life is important. In Quest we strive to achieve excellence in all we do but it's also important to "stop and small the roses" from time to time. Enjoy this little anecdote. When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar . He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.' The professor then produced two cans of beer from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed... 'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to consider that this jar could represent your life.' The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health and your career - and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your favorite pastime, your finances and your friends.. The sand is everything else - the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there would be no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your family...your parents, your children, visit with grandparents. Take care of yourself...your body and spirit. Play another 18 holes of golf...go dancing, enjoy yourself and each moment of your life. There will always be time to clean the house and make repairs. Take care of the golf balls first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand. One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the beer represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.' The beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of beers with a friend.1 point

For the people who dont want "pot heads" running around, you would be surprised how many of us there already are. Its so easy to smoke and continue on with your day without anyone even knowing. Hell, I wake and bake almost everyday and no one has ever been the wiser and my possible future employer actually WANTS me to smoke at work because it makes the work environment more relaxed and less stressful. It honestly makes me more productive in some cases as well.1 point

I am not at all scared Obama will ban guns or anything of the sort. Its Biden I am worried about, however, their allegiance to the Democratic party will most likely keep them from doing anything radical to try and get another Dem elected. In short, nothing interesting will happen1 point

I'd like to thank the OR community for their support this season at the track. I'm glad that I was introduced to this site by Nick and Craig, it's been a good time. I'll be back as a sponsor again next year and for those who attend the MotoSeries events, you'll see my name plastered in a few different areas. I'll also be renewing my sponsorship of OR.net. Lastly, as I start planning for the 2013 season, please give me your comments, suggestions and criticisms. My goal is to do all that is possible to serve the OR.net community to the best of my abilities and need your help to do so. Also, please give me your feedback on the system I implemented this year with the card and email system. I know that it saved me countless hours of uploading, but I need your feedback as well. Stay safe this off-season and see everyone next season.1 point
