    Rare Ghost Orchid found where I work

    A few years ago, I read about a Cuban bat that apparently got blown to Florida in a hurricane. What with the embargo, did the bat ever get back to Cuba?

    Embarrassing Moments in Dance

    I used to post messages to a site that was run by my dance teacher, and at one point I posted messages about avoiding stepping on people's feet. So of course, within a few days, I stepped on my teacher's foot--and we weren't even dancing together, we were dancing with other people. :o

    It's At The Tip Of Your Tongue

    If I start describing the thing I'm trying to say, I'll usually remember the word.

    Embarrassing Moments in Dance

    My hand somehow ended up in someone's shirt pocket on two separate occasions. I still cannot account for how it happened.

    So, is there an elegant way to put air in your tires?

    Exactly--"will work for food," my eye. I'd just as soon keep my money. Checking my air pressure never bothered me.

    What to do about freckles and blood vessels

    Have you talked to your doctor? Is there another medicine you could try?

    So, is there an elegant way to put air in your tires?

    Fully inflated tires will improve your gas mileage. I've thought about offering $1 to people who ask me for money if they will check the tires or wash the windshield.

    Embarrassing Moments in Dance

    All those partners I clocked in the nose or kicked in the shin or couldn't converse with still dance with me. They've lived through embarrassing moments, too. What's that song, "pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again"? One more tip for embarrassing moments: as long as...

    Embarrassing Moments in Dance

    lol In all seriousness, though: 1. Just wear long pants. 2. Low profile glasses actually wouldn't be a bad idea if you are dancing fast. 3. Definitely watch for the flying elbow during Balboa turns. 4. I'm guilty of the shin-kicking during tandem charleston. In my defense, though, the...

    Embarrassing Moments in Dance

    I was dancing with a pretty good lead when he swung me out and I hit someone, who probably had 50 pounds on me, so hard that it knocked the wind out of me. I also heard of a ballroom dancer--at a competitive level--who elbowed someone pretty hard in the head during a competition.

    The first one I remember going to see was Song of the South.

    Embarrassing Moments in Dance

    This moment wasn't embarrassing for me, but probably was for my partner. We started dancing and he proceeded to give me tips on doing the basic east coast step. (By this time, I knew both east coast and lindy fairly well. It was a little like passing algebra class, and having someone give you...

    Two Rivals - You choose!

    How easy is it to get parts for the Citroen? If they have to special ordered, or cost much more than VW parts, I'd definitely go with the VW.

    Embarrassing Moments in Dance

    I was doing Balboa when my partner led a free turn. When I came back around I clocked him pretty hard in the nose with my elbow. :(

    Embarrassing Moments in Dance

    ...that I now laugh about. I'm planning to post one of these per day for who knows how long. I'd been taking lindy lessons for about a month, and I'd e-mailed my teacher a few times and introduced myself. The next time I danced with him in class, he said, "Hi, how's it going?" There was no...

    Proper Polo wear?

    I went to a polo match last year and the heat was sweltering. There's no way I'd have worn a sport coat. Pretty much everyone there was in nice shorts and a polo shirt, or something along those lines.

    Ink Spots

    I like the Ink Spots. However, their device of speaking a verse of the song gets old.
