Yeah, I only usually watch the playoffs. Otherwise I'm not a regular viewer. It's more fun to go out and play or coach than it is to watch the game.

That's why I love the NHL. You have potential for 7, hard fought games against a single team. Some great rivalries have been formed because of that. I remember watching the Vancouver Canucks play the St. Louis Blues back in 2003. It was one of the hardest hitting series I've seen. The series ended up going to 7 games.

Here's a few snippets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSEqxa3WXQo

I watch the playoffs regardless of the teams playing. It's usually a lot of fun. You find a lot of up tempo, fast paced games.

If you ever come here we'll have to have a basketball game , eh Kobe? hah.

I haven't really followed the NBA this season, so I can't really comment on that. There's always the underdog factor though haha.

A Kobe and Lebron matchup would be fantastic. That'd be a pretty hyped up match.

I didn't realize the lakers were having such a good season. Think they'll make it up for last year's playoff loss?

That's exactly the reason I don't use them. Sure it may take a little bit longer, sure it may look a little bit worse for a while, but I end up saving fifty bucks by letting my body heal itself.

I think the reason I'm so adverse to using vanity products is because I have a history of using them obsessively and constantly for several years with literally no effect whatsoever. I tried five different types of antibiotics (literally), six or seven different varieties of benzoyl peroxide, all of the name brands, and the tretinoin cream I talked about that draws the acne out, making it look worse before it looks better. My acne to this day looks no better than it did five years ago. I think the only example that I didn't use exactly to the instructions stated was the tretinoin cream, because the week I started them saw me moving to california for a month where I had no access to renew the prescription.

I don't know if you noticed, but the moderators of this forum have gotten a great deal more bent on preventing conversation that's not strictly relevant. So we can't really talk about homeostasis in the scrapbook.

I used to have horrible acne problems. I still do but I care much less about them. Of the many prescribed medications the doctors gave me, they claimed that some of them were supposed to make acne worse before it got better. That to me doesn't seem like a desirable result.It was extremely inconvenient to take the entire course of medication and let it do its job. I had to go see family in another state and couldn't get my prescription renewed, and so I just left it alone. Perhaps that could be part of your experience with it?

However, in general, products are largely unnecessary. I interact with hundreds of people that use those beauty products and ointments and lotions for infinitesimal esthetic effect, and it doesn't seem to effect my experiences with them.

Hot damn! Your ability to kill threads has rubbed off on me! Darn it, and I was one of the beautiful posters... 3 threads! THREE!

Well I recognize your intelligence and wish for it to be responded in like. Not saying I can say things on par with what you do, but I'll sure as hell try.

Calling me a "good friend" really makes me feel great.

Also, I apologize for the poor soul that keeps posting those images on my profile. If you've seen them, well, I really am sorry. He's some dude on Xbox live, and my friends provoked him into posting pornography everywhere.

Like that. ;-P

Happy birthday!

That's very high praise. I appreciate it. You've been a good friend and one of the best people to talk with on here. A lot of times, you're the only one who will reply to my posts, which I also appreciate.
