  1. Much appreciation. My kids play literally every time we're in there, but the current table is falling apart and doesn't roll out of the way. My youth group is growing and I need to be able to push it aside. OP, pm me to meet up so I can see it.
  2. RIP and prayers to all this affects. Tragic. Funny. Trayvon is asploding e'erwhere and this will be forgottn by most in a matter of days. People want justice for an alledged hate crime/cold murder and the same people don't give a rip about those dying over seas in similar ways so that we can be here, free.
  3. This is a tough one. I don't really think about it but sure, it'd suck. Blindness more than anything. I love art. I love hiking. I am a visual learner. My wife is proficient in ASL as she studied it in college so I know already I can adapt, but I have to SEE what she's doing obviously. Being deaf is another of mine, but not major. I've been playing in a band of some sort since I was young. Took music lessons starting at 6. To not be able to play would hurt. When I was in my teens I had a slightly irrational fear of losing my hands and not being able to play music or sports, and just all that a life without hands would entail. I'm over it now, but for awhile it sucked.
  4. EXTREMELY interested! Need one for my youth room! Pics please. If Duffey, since he has first dibs, doesn't want it I def will take it, pending condition (not collapsed lol).
  5. HOLY GREAT MITCH'S NIPPLES! A NEWB THAT ACTUALLY READ FIRST! Great intro. Welcome. Get out to meets, specifically CC&C (my personal fav) and get to meeting people. Enjoy your stay. +rep for not being a complete moron.
  6. We've looked some, but there's always more you can learn. Thanks. We'll look into it. Didn't really expect to get an honest, helpful response on this. lol
  7. I'm enjoying seeing the progress man. Good luck and keep it up.
  8. My fear? Never giving my wife the life she deserves. She's been wanting kids and we've been trying for years to no avail. We currently don't have insurance and not enough money to get everything checked out, but I'm afraid it's due to my little swimmers. I have no way of verifying this, and no CR (mainly chatbox), you can't help/investigate. As for darkness, heights, etc. I did a youth lesson once talking about crippling fear vs. solstice in knowing Christ is watching over us. I won't go full on preacher mode b/c I respect all your different beliefs, but the main point still applies. NOBODY, in my opinion, is afriad of heights or darkness. If I walk you into a room with no windows and ask if your afraid likely you'll say "no". If I then tell you that room is 10,000 stories in the air a little nervousness may set in, but since you can't verify it you won't feel too different. If I walk you into a room with just rails that is 10K stories and make you walk to the edge and look over THEN the fear strikes. As someone said, the fear isn't of heights, but of falling and what will happen as a result. The pain, or as others have stated, the fear of death. It's natural. As for darkness, it doesn't attack us. It does nothing good or bad. Darkness has no form. No life. Therefore, it is no threat. We're afraid of what may happen to us without us seeing it coming and beeing able to react accordingly. Walking down a country road at night and a car drives by at 80 mph doesn't scare you b/c you see the head lights in plenty of time and can adjust your path to ensure your safety. Same thing happens without the cars lights on, and although you might hear something, it's far more terrifying of a situation, especially if you can't decypher exactly which direction and speed to car is moving. We're not afriad of heights, darkness, spiders, etc. We're afraid of the unknown. What happens if I fall from this height? Death? Paralysis? What happens if the lights go out and someone enters the place I'm in? Mugging? Death? What happens if the spider bites me? Is it poisonous? Will it lay eggs in my face? What will happen if I never find happiness in life? What does my future hold? All natural human thoughs I believe. For me, while it'd be absolutely asinine to say I'm not afraid of anything or even that I don't have some of these same thoughts cross my mind, but they're not crippling for the most part. Psalm 118:6 - "The Lord is on my side, I shall not fear..." Worse case scenario? I die and go home. I understand that's not everyones belief or mindset though and I respect that.
  9. CR at a casino? Pass. lol
