They Want Their Toilets Back. by Keith http://www.andybox.com/?p=8881#comment-2386 Keith Fri, 10 May 2013 20:41:15 +0000 http://www.andybox.com/?p=8881#comment-2386 The first week we lived in our house I noticed our commode rocked a little, and I rocked it a bit too much and cracked it at its base. Kelsey and I were both driving Accords at the time, and the new toilet from Lowes just wouldn't fit in either of our cars, so the next day we bought a 4Runner. Most expensive toilet ever, but it was also my first home improvement job as I installed it all myself. I still have the SUV, and haven't regretting that decision as it's come in handy for all sorts of home improvement projects since.

Thank you for sharing your perspective as a runner. I wondered about many of these things - the responses and impact on runners, the sport, and friends/family. I think back to our experience in the airline industry after 9/11 and know there will be parallels. Thank you for sharing a bit of my sister's story. It was devastating to her and so many others there. I keep thinking about what President Bush told the country in the wake of 9/11 - to LIVE as a means of fighting back. I think, in the wake of this terror, we should RUN. I just may find a 5K to train for! Andy: Well written! Thank you for sharing your perspective as a runner.

That race of course is for the OKC memorial so it's probably already way secure. Good post Andy. I had friends who finished 10-15 minutes prior to that and thankfully just missed it.

It's just a cartoon. It's a cartoon with good values and the ponies look 10x better than they did in the past. The past ones used to make me freak out, but the new ones are more designed so anyone can enjoy the show. Trust me, there are a ton of straight boys who watch MLP, it's also cause of the humour in the show. Let me put it this way since I’m 16 and I love the show. It’s just a cartoon.

The crew sounded great, and I found the Branson terminal interesting. A great trip. Thanks.

Thank you for the comment. I had no idea there were free Spanish programs out there. They sound like a better way to get started. Thanks! Hi, Allison! Thank you for the comment.

Sun, 10 Mar 2013 10:46:33 +0000 http://www.andybox.com/?p=8760#comment-2353 My two cents regarding learning Spanish: there are a lot of good free programs out there now. I say, pick one of those and go through the entire thing. Find some conversation buddies and practice! Watch TV in Spanish - first kids' shows then shows for adults, like game shows and talk shows. Talk to each other and the kids in Spanish. Go places where people only speak Spanish so that you have no choice but to speak it. If you love it and want more, spend the money! You'll be (or I would be) more successful at the paid one if you are already invested emotionally in learning Spanish. I love that Spanish was my foreign language of choice in school. I'm still not fluent, but I have made it to a place where I can communicate to some degree in all situations. It's very rewarding!

Would be great if more air travelers knew this information. The graphics are outstanding! I am struck by how the Jet Stream affects the winds and our weather systems. I remember it was discovered by B-29s flying high altitude missions to Japan during World War Two. Thanks again for a great article..
