Hi all from fab Port Douglas, hope my DVD has arrived when I get home.

Joe, honey, any word on an Aussie tour yet?

For Chickenfoot in Australia say "aye"!

Anybody watch Oprah yesterday. Holy f**king shit! A 250 lb chimp ripped off a woman's face and her hands back in Feb. - and she lived. Her face before the tragedy was so lovely, but now...the only thing I can think of that she resembles is a teenage mutant ninja turtle - but worse - and I don't me that to be funny. It's horrific, and very hard to look at - but she's alive and trying to be strong. She was a single mom. Her daughter is getting ready for college. God bless them both. Their life has been changed drastically forever. Just seeing it kinda effed me up a bit...

Such a shame.

cheese...If your stuck on an island with nothing but fruit and water you better build yourself a nice outhouse...lol.

couple of good ones there Zinc.

my stepdad and brother used to hunt every season. i went once when i was about 12. saw 4 bucks run by me about 4 to 5 feet away doing about 25 mph up the side of a mountain. thats about as close as i ever got to hunting. have seen alot of hunters that do it for the jollies. most of them hunted with trucks and snowmobiles at night with bright lights. shitheads in my opinion. my brother still hunts but gave up his guns for bow & arrow. i think he's a nut because he hunts black bear with a bow. i still love my meat on the grill and can't imagine going vegan. i do have to say though that in nature, just about everything eats some other form of life to live. so what constitutes "life" plants grow from seeds so are they "born" do they "live". i've read science articles suggesting plants and trees can communicate with each other via chemical reactions. are they alive? if so then even vegans are consuming a living entity. just "food for thought"

okguitar; exactly what is it you are doing?

slans: they are now saying that soy protien is not as good as they first thought, especially for women. they blame the increased use of soy as a reason for the increasing onset of early puberty in girls in developed countries. something to do with the way it reacts with estrogen.

cappy: i say to the ones who do it for fun, too bad the animals can't shoot back! ha!

Don:Ha....so the slaughter continues, geat propoganda for the meat company anyhoos the perfect diet is about as elusive as the loch ness monster ie it doesnt exist.Its all bullshit, just depends what crap yer willin t step into

cube, big congrats on how far you've come already, that's fantastic!! Just don't disappear, lol!! And I know that what you're saying is right but somehow my butt isn't too motivated to do the workout part....skipping food, no problem as long as I have my coffee, lol! But yeah...yer doing it the healthy way and should be proud!

Slan, what? You don't like chest hairs on us wimmens?? What about just going "natural" and having leg and pit hairs? LOL!! You don't mind that we occasionally hafta have balls, do ya? Us girlies can be tough mofo's when we need to :)

And thanks for the email, I know Chris already emailed you back...I'm trying to get the video stuff on a dvd for him to make it easy to access, and he's LOOOOOVING the massive amount of new stuff to read and absorb. Yer a doll, I'll tell anyone that! Hugs :)

Well peeps I have to say I am a product of my upbringing , I grew up on a ranch. The ranch produced beef, lamb and some pork for market. We worked very hard as children and were taught that those animals were dependent on us for their care. and their care came first.

My dad had a way with those animals, fed them, doctored them, talked to them and named just about every one of them. But the fact that many went to market was just a fact of life for him. It was his livelihood and he worked his ass off until he could work no longer .

So when we (those of us who do) eat our juicy steak just remember some one had to do the" dirty work". It does not mean they relished it.

On Hunting .......most my friends and family bow hunt now , its more challenging for them. I don't hunt and I don't like knowing my critters before I eat them. But I do eat meat,so somebody takes care of that nasty business for me.

On a happier note last night was Honor Band Concert. In just two days those young people were brought to a level of playing that most of them had never achieved before . I sat there rapt as the music was played. It was very cool.

MIchelle- How very brave of her to tell her story on TV. What a awful random thing to have happen. I don't believe I would be that strong.

Cube:Well done that man, keep at it! The one way diet thing is about as stupid as saying one suit fits all, although thats what most diets try & promote

Don1963

hum.. i get a lil voice wich says today :

the F had gotten to check the F.

Joe: Hope you get better soon. Drink plenty of fluids and I hope your vegan diets will make you better soon.

Michelle: I missed that Oprah event, but I did see some bits/clips of it on other news & entertainment shows. I did see the one where Ellen was on, as well as the family that was talking about their family murder. The inmate was being executed the following day, so I guess he's already passed on. I also saw the CMA's last night. Glad to see Taylor Swift win Entertainer of the Year. She deserved it!

Skippygirl: Just curious, you listen to, "Ten Words" by Joe a lot. Is that your favorite Joe song? Two more days until the big run. I ran 13 miles (easy) yesterday. I'm really nervous. Hope you're enjoying your trip.

Death Cube K: Congrats to ya!

Don1963: You're right. Our veterans deserve the best and as much praise for what they have done for the country. This marathon run I'm doing Saturday is the Veteran's Day Marathon.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra is in our town tonight to perform at the Memorial Coliseum. I don't think I'll be going to see them, regarding my focus & commitment for this run Saturday.

hey Guys I have a question. I'm working on my bluesy feeling and it is pretty tough to get a good feeling so I really would like some tips like which songs are the best songs to learn for bluesy feeling and what kind of practice is needed to get a nice feeling besides listening to blues which I already do pretty much :P

Wowz! Joe was here and I was off baking a pie or being with my Steve. I'm not asleep at the switch....really!

Steven Tyler didn't return Joe Perry's phone calls!!! That sounds familiar AND then he shows up at Joe Perry's gig and gives him a big hug and assures people he is staying in Aerosmith!! These guys don't take themselves too seriously and shake things up by checking on their audiences by dropping bits of rumors or "news?"

BEST OF CALIFORNIA besides Joe Satriani and San Francisco? The redwood forests of the coastal areas--BIG BASIN, BIG SUR, HUMBOLDT REDWOODS STATE PARK, MUIR WOODS, Van Eck Forest, DEL NORTE COAST, and JEDEDIAH SMITH STATE PARK!!

I guess that's the "old country" of California. Nature's skyscrapers. And then there are the Sierra's Giant Sequoias!

We have the trees if you have the time to come take a look and enjoy the peace and quiet (at the best times). We believe in hugs not just tree hugging!!
