Thanks for the feedback. I went to do some spotting on my own this weekend and ran into a pair of the Airport Watch community at the airport. They told me about how to apply and I went directly to Aviation Universe and filled out the application. This is a great community and I'm glad I found it; th...

Jump to postThanks for all the help so far! I am struggling with air fare, it is so high! It will take a significant chunk out of our budget, but so be it. I really like the idea of WWoofing for two weeks and touring for two weeks. That seems to be a nice balance. B&B's are a great experience, even though I...
Jump to postHey everyone. The lady and I want to travel in Ireland this summer and do the whole backpacking / hostel experience.

Jump to postI'm going to challenge you Larry because I don't see why they are "scary". Show me why I should be afraid of Keith Ellison and Andre Carson. I challenge you to show me what makes them "thugs".
Start with that, then we'll move to your claim of how defending them makes one a pansy.

Jump to postOk, sorry about the vagueness about the opening post. I wanted to get a general idea first. Details: My girlfriend works in a restaurant kitchen and one of her male coworkers essentially harasses her at work. Tells her things like "Go back where you belong" and "Women can't handle it in the kitchen"...

Jump to postI suspect workplace harassment. How do I know if there is a legal basis with this? How do I know if there is legal basis with sexual harassment as well?

Jump to postMy good friend growing up ended up moving to her grandpa's farm at age 13. On the farm he taught her how to shoot his gun and took her hunting with him. They would hunt birds and always bring them back to eat them. They would never kill anything without the intention of eating it. The way I view it,...
Jump to postSpeculation time!! Is it at all possible, that because of the angle we viewed this from, that what we saw could actually have been something entering the atmosphere?

Jump to postMy girlfriend and I are interested in hunting. We're both major foodies and she is training to become a chef. We would be interested in becoming more connected to our food and understanding where it comes from; what it takes to get meat onto your plate. We also both think that hunting wild game is m...

If we could all just put ourselves in other people's shoes just a little more, things like this could be avoided. Also, if someone is offended by it, who are we to say that they're being "oversensitive"? If this woman didn't like the use of the word nigger, why did Dr. Laura have to call her "hypers...
