	2004/02/27, 03:36 PM The laughing part is different. I tell my wife about it when girls smile at me. She tells me that they are being polite and that she laughed out loud the first time she saw me.:angry: -------------- Some times life is like herding cats. Charlie

They laugh at me at work because I will be walking down a little incline at work and my quad will buckle and I almost fall over. -------------- I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it is gone past me I will turn to see fear's path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain
