"Never fight a man in his gym." --The late Ed Barbieri, my former manager and trainer [Just saw The Fighter with Mark Wahlberg, Amy Adams and Christian Bale, so I'm inspired. Fond memories. :lol:]

"Protect yourself! Keep that right hand up or I'm going to hit you with a left hook every time you drop it." --The California light heavyweight boxing champion during a sparring session in 1975. I didn't. He did. A metaphor for life. ============================ "Wipe your feet!" --Mom

Over and done. Obama to sign bill to improve nation's food safety

OT: You are most welcome, OFG. :D

I read all his stuff while still a kid. Haven't thought of him in years, though.

Hiya ~kib~. Nice to see you on Sufficient Self.

Make my meat bird and egg production systems more efficient. Figure out what the heck to do with all these goats. Butcher one or two, but what else??? Three of our nannies had kids the last couple of weeks, including one with triplets. Try my hand at plasticulture to a serious (for me) degree...

I don't attack people. I attack their positions. I wasn't the one who called someone childish. The person who did left us. Something about heat and kitchens comes to mind. Or is that a sexist thing to say? :lol:
