    Ask the cabbies. Where they eat, that's the deal. It's a win-win because they can take you there so just jump in one and done.

    Tried. No really, tried to watch it. Drivel. They take themselves way too seriously, but had to steal sound effects from the 60s to keep people interested. Also, when did it switch to 10 minutes of commercials for every 5 of mediocre derivative lack of originality?

    the under the finger nail pain is up there. soak the thumb in jameson!
    not pepper related, but the reasons I've been so MIA from THP lately is half the fault of a new blog I launched to coincide with the martial arts and fitness biz i'm building. check it out www.themartialartsgirl.com

    I very much like the About Me page. It shows personality, not dry like most that just claim their credits.

    Went to a Jiu Jistu seminar tonight, halfway through the evening I found out the girl I partnered up with is the 2017 women's lightweight world champion... so there's that.

    It went well, I just started BJJ less than a month ago, but I've done some sort of martial art pretty much my whole life. Both the girl I was partnered with and the guy leading the seminar (also a champ) seemed pretty surprised that I was so "fresh", so that gave me a confidence boost. Stayed in contact with both of them and I'll probably go watch them compete at this weekend at a big tournament here.

    I would have to buy a 5 gallon bucket of car wax and just go to town miyagi style
    I got to email my old boss today to potentially hire him. He said he still keeps my name on my mailbox at the office for nostalgia... Awww.

    Lol Maybe so... But I wouldn't mind picking up jobs for his company every now and then, I just don't look law office professional anymore... apparently purple and blue hair doesn't go over well with lawyers yet.
    First Muay Thai class and my legs look worse than they did after I got hit by a compact SUV while jogging a few years ago.
    This summer I am dedicating to building a new business. I've completed one certification and just signed up for the 2nd program today. I feel good about it, but man there are a lot of things to do. I've been keeping it on the DL from most people until I'm closer to launch, but I just had to tell my THP peoples.

    Thanks guys, haven't started the legal side of it yet, or the location scouting. That's what I'm really dreading. For right now I gotta read a huge 700 page book and take a couple more cert exams. My goal is to be ready for the legal/location stuff at the end of august.

    Thanks, this part should be the easy part, getting an instructors certificate for martial arts... Been doing martial arts since I was 6 and used to teach kiddos karate back in the day, but this stuff now is a little more serious than sport martial arts. Just hoping I make it out of the mountains in one piece... *nervous lol*

    As far as Cali goes, Sacramento is not bad at all. What kind of martial arts are you into?
    Rawkstah

    JKD, Tai Chi, & Systema are my core training these days. I've worked a little in BJJ, aikido, and grappling but I don't train for sport fighting. I did karate and sport fighting from 6-18. I do qigong too but that's not martial arts, just really helps better one's self mentally and physically, which leads to a better martial artist.
    I've been making homemade spicy salad dressing lately. Highly recommend it, we' now prefer to eat salad type meals vs sandwich types because of the spicy dressings.

    I'm a big fan of Fatalii infused cider vinegar in mine.

    mmm, Our fav so far is a chipotle garlic dressing, but yesterday I added some sambal to a lemon-oo dressing... mmm
    Trader Joe's sells these fancy "root vegetable chips", but aren't all potato chips really root vegetable chips?
    Rawkstah
    Rawkstah
    It's sweet potatoes, beet juiced dyed sweet potatoes, taro, and batata if I remember correctly. So pretty much potatoes and taro root.
    Hog I'd throw a coin in your hat.
    The Hot Pepper
    The Hot Pepper
    Oh. Well yes, potatoes are root vegetables.

    Nothing going right today, from an offleash dog almost causing a dog fight this morning to spilling the while batch of spicy salad dressing for this evenings dinner. I quit today and decided to learn Mandarin instead. Zaijain.

    GT's makes a Kombucha flavor called Euphoria with cayenne pepper in it. I missed that on the ingredients before tasting it, I thought the ginger was just extra spicy.... It is really good though I highly recommend giving it a try if you see it.
    spicefreak
    spicefreak
    Does it taste like chilli and ginger or just like slightly wrong ginger? Buffing it with chilli can be very hit or miss, IMO.

    It's like their gingerade with more lemon and pomegranate, and then you burn at the end... my lips burned too from drinking it out of the bottle. I liked it... its addicting.
    Ugh. So the leaves are yellowing because of spider mites. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Azamax! I hope they make it! Also I understand (but haven't tried) a 15 minute submerge in warm 85 degree water will drown them all. Spray thoroughly with a hose after to knock off any dead bodies.
    Rawkstah
    Rawkstah
    I don't have a hose.... I live in an apartment, I could put them in the shower?

    Worth a shot! Terrible to lose a plant, a few of my overwinters are looking real crappy after planting back out :(
