Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Did Sting the music guy take his name from that?
I believe it had to do with a childhood bee costume.
Because there's social contact. It makes me feel less like a caged freak.
This is one of the reasons I wish I could afford krav. That and combining exercise with learning useful skills. A treadmill just doesn't inspire a sense of purpose.

I'd heard he always wore a black & yellow stipey sweater. But I could be wrong.
It's been awhile since I read about the origin of Sting's name, but I'll bet one of us is at least partly right.
from wikipedia
He once performed wearing a black and yellow jersey with hooped stripes that fellow band member Gordon Solomon had noted made him look like a bumblebee, thus he became "Sting." He uses Sting almost exclusively, except on official documents.
You know, there's a reason I do like going to krav, even when I don't feel well. Because there's social contact. It makes me feel less like a caged freak.
That's pretty much why I go to Toastmasters.
yay new threadliness.
I am home so I can write a paper. Gotta get on that.
No self-respecting engineering student would make the kinds of dumb mistakes that are built into us. All of our pelvises slope forward for convenient knuckle-dragging, like all the other great apes. And the only reason you stand erect is because of this incredible sharp bend at the base of your spine, which is either evolution's way of modifying something or else it's just a design that would flunk a first-year engineering student.
Fred Pete, where are you going on a cruise?
Just saw this, Perkins. We sail New Year's Eve and stop at about 10 islands, not all of which I can always remember.
But there'll be an island in the Bahamas, Tortola, St. Maarten, St. Kitts, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Trinidad, Barbados, Bonaire, and Curacao. (Hey! I think I remembered them all!)
I insisted on that particular cruise because I fell in love with a picture of Curacao in the brochure. It didn't hurt that we both really liked St. Maarten when we stopped there on our last cruise.
Now, if we can just get past the winter storm warning that's up for tonight....
How long is your cruise, Fred?
It's a pretty fine balance between feeling like crap at krav and feeling like crap at home. People help lift my mood, but it can be stressful. With 2-3 hours a week, I miss the people, but I can't really do more.
Not going out makes me feel delicate and broken and that doesn't help. I really want to go see a movie, for instance, but bright lights and loud noises, and so I haven't seen HP yet. Staying at home with nothing to do has a lot of potential for self pity. Which probably explains why I CSSed b.org.
I CSSed b.org.
Ooooh, that's why I feel all tingly.
