Uh...

Palm muting is when you use your strumming hand to selectively mute strings. You're supposed to use the outer edge of your palm, ie: closest to your pinky.

Pull offs are when you put two fingers on two frets, then strike the highest fret and pull down with that finger to release the string so that the lower fret then sounds. You seemed to describe a hammer-on, which is basically the opposite of a pull off.

Anyway, yea you should definitely get some youtube videos to explain this to you, as others have recommended. That's easily one of the best ways to learn. Don't just take one guy's word for it, either. Find the video that makes it easiest for you to understand.

I write serious womens' issues books. I'm renowned.

The franchise association is also suing Burger King Corporate for the $1.00 double cheeseburger deal, asserting that it costs, on average: $1.10 to make and sell each burger.

Your welcome.

Yea, just watched it again on youtube. Dominating. 2 knockdowns in the 1st and the <10 seconds left KO in the second with a shot to the guy's body.

/me facepalms. IMDB confused me by crediting Patterson in the fifth film. He did die in the 4th installment.

I kinda suspected Pacquiao would be the victor. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to watch the fight. Sounds like it's too bad I didn't... 12 round technical is pretty exciting. Anyway, yea, I remember watching Pacquiao dominate the last HBO fight they were touting... don't remember the dude he wrecked 'cause it was over to fast.

A 4.5 year old Acer Travelmate 314 (I think that's the model?) It's a tablet convertible, and it still functions acceptably, though it's not like it was when it was new.

Fascinating. Good for her.

... and the few of you that are upset that people are mocking this woman: don't be. Her husband is a minister. She's spent her entire life living around the cruelty of others, undoubtedly she's long since learned how inconsequential the hurtful words people have to share truly are. The fact that she's survived that, what's more: THRIVED in that environment flies in the face of all the angst you douchefags're full of.

I wish her and hers the best.

I still love this photo I took of my eye. What's best about it is that it was taken with a webcam, but somehow the lighting and focus was perfect enough that there's practically zero distortion or fuzz, as is the case with pretty much all of the other pictures taken that day. Been my facebook picture pretty much since I took it.

I went through a pretty severe buffalo wing addiction for a couple years. I guess I still have it, 'cause I'll order 'em almost any chance I get.

Anyway, I'll usually consider recommendations on whether or not to get the spiciest possible. I like things spicy, but there is a point where I may not even enjoy the meal. There's no way I'm going to waste money on a meal I can't eat or torture myself finishing simply 'cause I ordered something too spicy. Jalapeños though... those mostly taste like green peppers to me at this point. Thankfully, I don't have Jerry's anus 'cause I'd be a sad panda without the ability to eat Jalapeños.

The libertarian believes that the state should exist to protect individual liberties. Whereas, Anarchists may agree that people should be granted those liberties, but that it should be up to them to protect them, no state is necessary.

Basically: anarchists have a completely unrealistic world-view, whereas the libertarian view actually makes limited sense.

Unless the 're' in the title isn't a typo and you're actually talking about libretarians, in which case I have no idea. : b

Pretty much the same deal. I fear heights intensely, but that's never stopped me from enjoying rock climbing, rappelling, awesome scenic views, etc. It helps that I have a great sense of balance and outstanding confidence in my ability to prevent a fall should one occur.

Still... when you're looking down over that edge it's a lot tougher to keep cool.

Should've eaten your daily apple. : b Nah, I don't mean to make light. I was gonna say I was glad that I didn't get the chickenpox vaccine because of this, but it seems that it's not the vaccine itself that's the problem, it's the fact that the chickenpox itself goes latent after the body eradicates the virus and MAY later emerge as shingles.

Anyway, it seems they can manage the disease quite well, and you already have the attention of your doctor's office so that's good news. No big deal, really. Hopefully your rash doesn't hurt even after it's healed up. Good luck with it all.

Go running daily. You ALWAYS notice when someone has been running every day after the first couple weeks, because their face slims up. Nobody notices small changes to someone's body because they're wearing clothing. Running tightens loose skin (well... any cardiovascular work will do the same).

I used to be pretty fat, but thanks to a running routine everything tightened up. I'd fallen out of the habit until recently thanks to injury, poor weather, time constraints, and laziness. Now that I've started up the routine again, I'll be slimming down FINALLY to exactly where I should be: comfortable shirtless.

Hey, how do you feel about being banned for harassing the dude? Give it a rest you overly cynical windbag. I better not see you pulling this crap in any future topics.

Explain that her love of hard drugs worries you. Tell her that you realize she'll simply resent any attempt you make at getting her off the drugs, and so you feel it's best that the relationship be suspended indefinitely.

Her response will tell you which of the two you ACTUALLY should be doing.

Pretty much. Stagnancy has the connotation of latent to the point of terrible. Which is why it's a great juxtaposition to perfection, since it doesn't come right out and directly contend with it.

And THAT is the essence of a good quote. It's something unexpected and new, but mostly just TRUE. I know it sounds egotistical to go off explaining what makes a quote good directly following mine, but that's not my intention.

BURT! NOOOOOO!

Ha ha. There're douchebags everywhere, dude. Thankfully, Universities around here are so liberal it doesn't matter what you say or do, so long as those remain firmly in the realm of your opinion and free expression and not hateful actions.

Those three are guilty of harassing you, according to US law. Universities take that sort of shit pretty seriously around here. I just don't think you're talking to the right people.

I came up with "Perfection is stagnant" years ago. Still like it, to this day. Your quote is awkward, poorly worded, and difficult to follow.

Aksuma and what he said.

Only instead: SWORDS!

I have a cup of dehydrating coffee every morning, but many mornings I'll balance it out with a smoothie, usually with a serving-size cup of milk, some orange juice, whatever whole fruits or vegetables I feel like adding, and crushed ice courtesy of the fridge.

Then at any point in the day, I'll usually fill a tall glass with water and drink it down. I definitely get my recommended water intake day in and day out. When my lips are feeling dry and cracked, I know I'm dehydrated and need to get some more water.

An open relationship is a step up from friends with benefits. When you're friends with benefits, you don't have to give a shit about anything to do with the other person. It's basically just saying you're happy to have another there for a booty call when and where you want one.

But with an open relationship, you and the other have recognized that there is a level of attraction beyond the realm of the physical. You enjoy each other's company and might not even mind the exclusivity that may arise from the experience. Yet, you both understand that each party is far too emotionally immature to commit in that way, whether it be because of past pain, current promiscuity, tendency to make poor decisions with alcohol or other drugs, or what-have-you.

Anyway... yea. Fuck open-relationships. If I care about someone enough to want anything more than casual sex from them it means I care enough not to want to share them with another. But, I do understand the distinction and agree with the premise behind it. I mean, I'd be willing to bet many stable couples don't have the level of communication between each other that those in an open relationship might have. As immature as their ability to commit may be, there's a definite maturity inherent in being able to share someone one cares for, much less allow them the freedom to pursue any fleeting interest otherwise.

I'd noticed she hasn't been around lately. Hope all's going well with her and that she'll return when she can.

Depending on the partner, I'd much rather be sleeping WITH someone. The warmth of a sexy woman's body next to you is absolutely unsurpassed. I don't tend to move much when I sleep, either, nor am I bothered much by another's movement.

But, if it's someone I'm not interested in curling up with, like a family member or male friend, I'll typically concede the bed and nab me some floor. I loves me a floor's night rest.

Cellphone and wallet go in left front pocket. Keys, pen, and any loose change go in the right front pocket.

This leaves me easy access to whatever I may need in the most number of situations where I'll need it. Keys in the right pocket so I can grab them with my right hand in order to start the car (ignition on the right). Pen and loose change are the same deal, though I group them with the keys because I like to avoid scratching the ol' iPhone screen. Loose metal is havoc on a screen, and mine's still in great shape after nearly 2 years for this very reason.

Then there's the practicality of putting the wallet on the left with the phone. Since these two items are bulky and of similar size, having them with the keys would present an annoying inability to quickly reach for keys in times of need. Keeping the wallet and phone on the left also leave them available for easy-access whilst driving, thanks to the lack of interference from the seatbelt buckle on my three-point safety belt.

The back pockets are useless, save for receipts I've yet to throw away or articles of paper I care little about. Not to mention, I have an adversity to being pick-pocketed that leaving the back pockets empty helps to relieve.

My system is the most superior. Not a day goes by that I am not carrying wallet, keys, and phone. In fact, it's rare that you'll find those items anywhere but within the confines of the pants I'm currently wearing, or those which I was wearing previously.

I've always hated any form'f blank verse. Without a syllable count there's no consistency, that lack of structure is owned by well-crafted diction, however terse.

Haiku; relaxing
in its form: counts only as

The limerick is swift as the Irish themself,
as quick on the wit as the bottle's off'f the shelf,
