    Amanda Craddock and Phil Jones are currently compiling a book of
    success stories about people who during their lives have sought help
    and inspiration through books, seminars, coaches, mentors etc. in order
    to achieve their goals. The degree of success may vary and we are open
    to including all stories that in some way have had a positive outcome.

    We would love to hear about your story no matter how small. This could
    include anything from stopping biting your fingernails to improved
    health and relationships or business, sporting and financial success.

    Our book is designed to inspire and encourage others through your real
    life experiences so that they too can realise their dreams and enjoy
    the same sorts of successes you have.

    To contribute please visit www.spreadthesuccess.com, answer a few
    simple questions and we will contact you about an interview. (Just for
    doing this you will receive a free eBook and be entered in the draw to
    win $600 of success products!).

    Share your story and spread the success!

    Thank you and have an outstanding day!

    Amanda and Phil

    Damn. And I was planning on moving to the states just to be able to
    cut some decent deals on a set of Kettleballs.

    Best deals used to be in Siberia. And the best part - you'd be
    smelting them yourself!

    Yes, with the emphasis on "used to be". Nowadays the "chief Smelter" has
    moved to the states I've heard and brought his business err.. comrades
    along.

    BTW, what is the Russian word for what Americans call the "Russian
    Mafia"?

    It sounds almost the same - "russkaya mafiya".

    Thanks. I was a little concerned that you might type Cyrillic
    letters.

    An extraordinarily difficult feat, as it turns out.

    Has anyone here ever known anyone who chewed their nails obsessively
    and then stopped, for real, long term?

    I wouldn't say I chewed my nails obsessively, but I rarely needed to
    use clippers to cut my nails.

    One time I chipped my tooth whilst biting my nails. The dentist
    rebuilt the tooth (veneer?). I chipped the same tooth very soon after.
    Got the tooth fixed again. This was getting expensive. I stopped
    biting after this point.
