the best way of trading in a bear market

is

actually not to trade or keep your cash.

Glad to hear some of you are having continued success, I hope your business proves to be recession proof. When I was in wine sales we used to when the economy is bad, its good for business...when the economy is good, its good for business.

I don't own a school but the economy has definitely taken a bite out of my CMA training...I was paying $120/mo for CLF/QiGong and a $40/mo for 24hr Fatness Gym membership plus the increased $$$ for gas traveling to two seprate locations. I loved the CLF immensely and hope to go back one day but I was able to find a brand new Boxing/MMA gym closer to my house(see my profile) for about $79/month that offered boxing, kickboxing, yoga, and BJJ plus regular fitness equipment all under one house.

I can say its been a pretty good experience, I love the cross training, and I've lost about 12 badly need pounds over the last two months. There have to be others in my shoes. On the down side, its not nearly as in depth and diverse as CLF/Qigong. For now it has to be a business decision.

Looks like there's just no substitute for those Fatness workouts.

But those extra 50 make it just that much harder to even notice your thong!
Of course, if you lose your waist & your butt, then it'll have to be supported by yer schlong......

Don't get your hopes up Sailor!!! Be careful what you wish for...they don't call me 'Dangling Death' fer nothing.

[TenTigers]

ahhh, he's lyin.
Remember, he IS jewish.
-and ya know what happens when a jew with an erection walks into a wall....











...he bumps his nose.

Happy Rosh Hashonna, Hammer!

[Hebrew Hammer]

LOL...thats a **** lie...and Shana Tovah to you my friend.

Who told you I was a land-locked Sailor? (never got stationed outside of SD)
(which pretty much forced me to seek my "servicing" from all those "WesPac Widows")
("went" FMF in the Reserve and got stuck running physicals for the Cuba BS)

I don't "wish" for anything you seem to have in mind....
(what's that old bit? "The angle of the dangle is equal to the mass of the ass times the heat of the meat."?)(an example of "old math"?)(1960s (or earlier) "swingers" stuff?)

In any case, "Dangling" indicates a marked lack of danger (let alone "Death") for just about any encounter. (unless you mean it's yer tool that's "dead")

[bakxierboxer]

ahhh, he's lyin.
Remember, he IS jewish.

I dunno ennythin' of the sort.
That name could easily indicate a Palestinian with a sledge-hammer
and enough of a grudge to man-up and use it.

-and ya know what happens when a jew with an erection walks into a wall....
...he bumps his nose.

I've never been that curious about it.... but, are you trying to intimate that
folks of the "Jewish persuasion" have really big noses?

Happy Rosh Hashonna, Hammer!

What is the *actual*/*literal* translation of that?

[Hebrew Hammer]

What is the *actual*/*literal* translation of that?

Rosh Shashana is Jewish New Year, the begining of the High Holy
Days which culminates with Yom Kippur, our day of atonement. Our new year begins in fall because in the Middle East thats the beginning of the growing season, rebirth. Yom Kippur is like a year of Catholic confessional all wrapped up in one day. We're good like that.

For some bonus points...during the Dark Ages it was believed that we sacrificed unwitting Chrisitian Children during this holiday. Part of our historic demonization...me I try to continue that rumor...keeps the neighbor kids out of my yard.

You mean you DON'T saccrifice christians? That's no fun. :s

????
Most of the "Middle East" looks like it's north of the Equator........
What do they grow that sprouts in the winter?

The origin of the Discount Store idea?

Drat!
I always heard that you ate them...... ("waste not, want not!")
(although not the really dumb ones.... after all you also originated that "you are what you eat!" saying, right?)
