10. No, I am not, but mom wants me to see an endricologist (sp?)
This is one of the scariest times of my whole life.

18. Well you should.
Cover all the bases. If it is Endometriosis, that can be dealt with in a relatively routine outpatient procedure.

13. Okay.
Nor any unproportion’d thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch’d, unfledg’d comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel but, being in,
Bear’t that th’ opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgement.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express’d in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man;
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower, nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.

26. I HAVE A KATANA!!!
except it's the plastic one held by my Leonardo Teenage mutant ninja turtle figurine.
Also, I can get my hair to look like that if I use enough hair gel. (or jusdt don't shower for 2 days)

My friend's nicknamed me Splinter cause I wore TMNT underwear once in high school during football practice. I don't mind though because he is really good guy and great martial artist.

Also I love tuna fish and collect a lot of stuff. Yep, I am a loser.

I really like the old TMNT and stuff, actually. I am a total dork, and like to make fun of myself before others do.

The return on investment at retirement by starting now versus 5 years from now is pretty amazing.

37. Did you know
26 is the only number between a square (25) and a cube (27)? A very special number indeed.

I turn 72 in a few weeks. Another special number.

Right?

44. Well, first of all don't rush things. Be patient. All good things come to those who wait.
We're talking about a career that could last another 50 years, at least.

Does the University of Maryland at College Park have a good onanism departmant? I think Georgetown offers a Ph.D in it...

Slap together a web page, sell some ad space, and bean-flick your way to wealth and power... ;)
