GH in a completely heterosexual way, have you lost weight? You look very different there from the first pictures of you I have seen. Looks like you got a lot of repair in, all the best to you :)

O, Can I play with your sword too puuuuuuurlease :D
Burns, soooooo cute :smitten:
Hey Taosaur, I don't recall knowing you where from Cleveland too! (or do I?). Anyway, yah we got hit hard - but damn, today is like the opposite: clear and sunny! Perfect day for digging out.
Yup, I helped my neighbor get her car out of the driveway this morning, she was stuck since last night. Then the other neighbor helped me with the base of my driveway. Gotta admit, our winters have really been getting weaker over the years. Just two or three bad storms, compared to more consistent snowfalls.Quote:

Ya Joe, it's beautiful out today. I just came in from digging everyone out on this end of my street. We got together half a dozen people for a dig-out party.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it :paranoid:.Quote:

Here's the view of my backyard from the kitchen (looking at the stairs going to the deck).

Damn, and I thought we got it bad: one foot. Then again, we got a foot of snow on top of all the snow we already have. I guess you murikans are playing catch-up.
In a completely heterosexual way: yes. I lost about 40 pounds and have kept it off for a good long while now. It was a lot of hard work and dedication. I also owe a thanks to all the DV members who encouraged me at the time. I went from around 187 to 145-147 pounds (whatever that translates to in Kilos/stones).Quote:

And thank you, kind Sir.
Uhm...Unlike Burns, I'm actually going have to ask you to be a little more specific. :paranoid:Quote:

Ninja: Nice! Chinese broadswords, right? I love those things. And sure, I'll take ya on!! :ninja: Heh.
Korean, actually. I'm not very good with them, I prefer an Epee.
Ah, I should have know since you're in TKD, right? :D I thought they looked a little small for Chinese broadswords. It was the tassels that threw me off. Hehe.Quote:

I know that, but it's a Korean art. :PQuote:

Olympic style Taekwon-Do does not use swords. Most (American) schools that teach a broad Taekwon-Do / Karate combination will include Hwarang(do) which has a weapon focus.Quote:

I got it from The Collector's Edge
With the scabbard, it was only about $60. I see some "officially licensed" versions of it around, for anywhere from $120 to $160, but I really see no differences in them, and this one is in perfect shape. :)
Well, I guess I know what I'm buying next time I get a little spare money...Quote:

No problem. Yeah, they've got some really kickass swords (and some non-bladed weapons, to), with great prices. My last few blades have been from them.Quote:

Once I order some I'll have to post up some pictures with them.
Not only that but I've gained strength/muscle. Thanks, in part, to you I've been doing lots of push-ups and other exercises. And I'm feeling great as result.Quote:
