Now that I have become a geocacher (www.geocaching.com), I discovered a product that works wonderfully as protection against those little suckers. Permethrin applied to your clothing can actually kill them as they crawl on your clothes, and for up to 6 weeks and 6 launderings. I get mine from REI.com/; http://www.rei.com/product/734901. You must try this stuff. It really works.

Since I have a CCW, it seemed appropriate to have this while out on the road, vulnerable in the spandex and all....

I agree with you totally, Ron. Dogs are everything.

Wow, the title sure gets your attention, right? What a letdown....

1) WHAT IS THE PROPER AGE TO GET MARRIED? "Eighty-four, because at that age, you don't have to work anymore, and you can spend all your time loving each other in your bedroom." - Judy, 8 years old "Once I'm done with kindergarten, I'm going to find me a wife." -Tom, 5 years old 2) WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE? "On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." - Mike, 9 years old 3) WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE? "You should never kiss a girl unless you have enough bucks to buy her a big ring and her own VCR, cause she'll want to have videos of the wedding." - Jim, 10 years old "Never kiss in front of other people.

But if nobody sees you, I might be willing to try it with a handsome boy, but just for a few hours." - Kally, 9 years old 4) IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED? "It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need somebody to clean up after them." - Lynette, 9 years old 5) WHY DOES LOVE HAPPEN BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE? "No one is sure why it happens, but I heard it has something to do with how you smell. That's why perfume and deodorant are so popular." - Jan, 9 years old "I think you're supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn't supposed to be so painful." - Harlen, 8 years old 6) WHAT IS FALLING IN LOVE LIKE?

"They want to make sure their rings don't fall off, because they paid good money for them." - Dave, 8 years old 9) WHAT DO YOU THINK OF LOVE? "I'm in favor of love as long as it doesn't happen when ‘The Simpsons’ is on television." - Anita, 6 years old "Love will find you, even if you are trying to hide from it.

I'm finding fourth grade hard enough." - Regina, 10 years old 10) WHAT QUALITIES ARE NECESSARY IN A GOOD LOVER? "One of you should know how to write a check.

You might get attention, but attention ain't the same thing as love." - Alonzo, 9 years old "One way is to take the girl out to eat. Make sure it's something she likes to eat. French fries usually work for me." - Bart, 9 years old 12) HOW CAN YOU TELL IF TWO ADULTS EATING DINNER AT A RESTAURANT ARE IN LOVE? "Just see if the man picks up the check.

"Spend most of your time loving instead of going to work." - Tom, 7 years old "Be a good kisser. It might make your wife forget that you never take out the trash." - Randy, 8 years old

I think priorities would be in order in this case. Simply spare the dog and move. I lost a dog to kidney failure recently and would have given my life savings to keep him alive. A dog is a better friend than a human could ever hope to be.

I only wish to add an apology to the entire group for my inappropriate reply.

firewalker, if you can't even spell candidate, then how can we trust you to vote for one?

I agree that Merlin's was correct. 300lb's was just plain wrong! You can go back to sleep now, ape boy.

Now THAT's funny! Probably tucked safely away! BWA-HA-HA-HA-HAW

Nolan, I am so sorry....

Rhino, This is a variation of your sandwich: whole wheat bread peanut butter on one slice Welch's grape jelly on the other slice place banana slices (sliced lengthwise) on the p'butter Assemble and enjoy

How did you know?

usc and jveg, thanks for the comments. It's a '67 TR6 that my dad bought new to use in enduro competition (because his XLCH was getting too hard to kick start in the cold mornings-no batteries nor electric starts on the old CH's). The Triumph always started first kick. The Harley air cleaner was great for the creek crossings and Ceriani forks helped a lot, too. None of the other Triumph riders in town knew he secretly had an 800cc cylinder kit installed (he just never got over the Sportster torque climbing hills). The TR6 could do 100 mph with trail gearing during those "friendly" backroad duels. Since then, I had to sleeve it for 750 pistons to run the mild gasoline we get nowadays. Family heirloom; will keep it 'til I die, even if it kills me

Gotta get a bayonet lug for my M1A....Why? Just because!
