The thread is a good reminder to all instructors to remember there are many reasons women join the martial arts. We could all be a little more aware.

2004hemi's thread: New guy lookin gfor advice fromthose over 30

I know it may be a pain, but I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to post links in here for these threads. I recall a few of them, but not all of them.

[Sarah]

[Bob Hubbard]

Nope. Just had it in the ML for a moment....moving to announcements now.

I find it utterly appalling that there are no Muay Thai threads on there. . .thus, I am rebelling against this style-discriminating system of internet-governance by not participating. . .Until further notice, however, this will be a peaceful demonstration of non-compliance, unless otherwise provoked. Tee-hee.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Well, there was 2 weeks to nominate some....

That works. Thanks

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Added threads to initial post.

Gave my vote good luck everybody

[Navarre]

I have voted as well. Thanks for adding the thread descriptions, Bob. That helped a lot.

I would wish everyone good luck but there's no point in it. Some happy person will win this poll. Wishing that person good luck would be a waste of time because they're going to win. Alas, wishing the other candidates good luck is equally pointless for the opposite reason.

So, I will only say "Early Congratulations, [Winner]!"

So why didn't you nominate one?

 

[Lisa]

Sorry about not putting the links in everyone. I was half way finished doing it when Bob moved the thread from where I created it to the Admin Announcements forum and something quirky happened not allowing me to post here. :idunno: what happened but everyone else could post on my thread but me. Then I had to run and see my daughter's band concert and couldn't get back to it.

Anyways... thanks Bob for filling in the links for me.

Now it is time to vote everyone!

[arnisador]

Lots of good choices here!

 

[AdrenalineJunky]

So why didn't you nominate one?

Because I suck, very, very badly. But, in my defense, I was only trying to be a smartass. Just doing my part to screw with "the man."
