About two years ago I decided that I was to stop drinking coffee and drink tea; you think stopping smoking is hard, just wait. Anyway, did it - took me over 3 months by just forcing myself to it. After the 3rd month, I was comfortable and almost natural to do. You can look at machines, approach etc., whatever! just do it - you will find your way. The funniest thing, after doing it for half a year or so I drank a stout beer. Finally understood why Irish people like that stuff! Can't describe it with words but yeap, drinking tea lead me to discover the love of stout beer. Anyway, am back to coffee and my larger beers.

Law may be blind, but men aren't and so far these people have clearly shown themselves to everyone. Don't believe a thing an article purports to represent of SCOTUS.

I never understood what people (no matter what part of the world you are on) take pleasure on of vandalizing or ripping into what is clearly public works. Some people are really just walking around with a smile and a knife in their back. Incredibly frustrating!
