My brother did that once. When my mother told him that it was bad, he promised never to do it again. Over the next several weeks, she found his scribblings in hidden places - under the coffee table, inside closet doors, etc.

School starts on Monday.

My son-in-law won a free trip for two to NYC. I am so jealous. BUT, it's only for a weekend (well, Fri - Mon) AND flight leaves on 9/11. She just found out and I'm so excited for her. This includes one of the best hotels (I'm trying to find out which one, tours, and at least one Broadway show). Cool hu?

Maybe that's why it's free. No one wants to fly on 9/11, and maybe they want to show that NY is safe, and it's ok to be there on 9/11 so they're giving this stuff away. I would be in heaven if I won that.

How, in GOD'S name, did the Scottish goverment let that scumbag Abdel Baset al-Megrahi out of prison to die at home? He did 8 years for killing 270 people.

Did you see the way those extremist cocksuckers in Libya cheered him when he got off the plane? This is what we're up against. That's how much radical Muslims hate Americans and Jews. You go kill almost 300 people, we'll have a party for you at the airport.

They should have let the cancer eat him to the fucking bone, until his last breath went out of him. Then set him on fire for good measure.

I saw this as well,disgusting..

40,000 posts up for me..

Yayyyy I got a laptop

Now I just need to get some internetz

That's great Bogey. What kind did you get? I love my laptop and don't see myself every buying a desktop again.

Do you have a router that you have to hook your laptop to? I'm getting a new computer when I get my taxes and I can't decide on laptop or desktop.

Beth, my internet is with Time Warner. I have no wires hooked to my computer & tv cable box because I choose to. I did have the option of some kind of wire (hookup) that would need to go from the cable box to my computer, but I choose to go wireless. I'm not sure how other hook-ups go and am no expert on the subject.

For my laptop I'm using a router hooked up to my desktop in my family room. I love my laptop. It's rare that I use my desktop. I guess I'm getting lazy. Before I had to go downstairs to my basement to use the desktop.

britian loves fucking oil, and thats the only reason they released him...if i was obama i would be pissed off at britian. monsters like these should die in prision...

He was sentenced to life in prison and that's what he should have received. Perhaps the Scottish government is far more compassionate than I am, but I certainly wouldn't have given him a drop of water if he was crawling across the Sahara.

That scum deserves no compassion what so ever.

There's talk on Sky News that a Arms deal was arrange in order to release him..

Scotland Bam, not Britain. Scotland has its own government which makes it's own desicions. It was the Scottish Justice Minister who made the choice. Of course Gordon Brown and his motley bunch wanted nothing to do with the whole thing and just dumped it on the Scots,which is ironic seeing as Brown is Scottish himself!!

Your average man in the street in the UK is as dumbfounded by this as anybody. It stinks to high heaven!!

Man, I just want my Daughter to hurry up and be born already. I don't think Mia(Her mother) can take it much longer....come on!!!

What's her due date, Whisper??

How exciting Whisper. How is Mia feeling and how far along is she? I remember the excitement.....there's nothing like it.



TIS

Best of luck Whisp. I can't wait to see pic's of your baby girl.

my mistake there...i usally call britian the whole thing, so yea.

5 Weeks to go. Mia has definitely had enough and just wants her out already. haha.

It's definitely exciting but the constant worry is taking it's toll on the both of us. For me, I just want to get through the initial first few weeks after the birth. Then I think I'll be able to relax a bit more knowing everything is alright. It's the waiting that is killing me.

Whisper, there is no more beautiful moment in anyone's life, and it is also the most horrible times in your life. Lack of sleep, never knowing if you're doing it right or wrong, lack of sleep, trying to figure out which is the best bottle, which is the best formula, why are they crying, did I do something wrong?? Oh, and did I mention lack of sleep??

But then there are times, in the middle of the night, when you stumble to the crib, and pick up that crying baby, and you feed her and change her, and she falls asleep in your arms, and you're half befuddled, and that feeling of overwhelming love sweeps over you. You feel like you are the only two people on earth, and it's MAGIC.

Don't rush it. It will get here soon enough. And cherish every moment. They go by way too fast.

A Quick Status update: Sorry I haven't been around lately, I am getting things prepared for School (I am doing Vertical School this year) and it has been hectic getting my classes scheduled (starts the 31st) I am really excited though, because in "School" School I could only take German, Spanish, or French; But in Virtual School I can take Latin (which I have always wanted to take.

Anyway, I shall still be around... probably even more frequently than before once I get all this class Mumbo-Jumbo straightened out.


P.S. I think this may be my Longest post ever... Cool!



Red Beans and Ricely yours,
Louis Armstrong... er... I mean, Santino Brasi

Be practical, Santino. What are you going to do with Latin in the real world? You'd be much better off taking a Spanish course (it'll help in the future).

That is quite true... I must ponder

I agree. While Latin may be helpful in learning OTHER languages (including English vocabulary), it's not otherwise practical. Spanish, I agree, would be the best bet. French or German next. Unless you want to be a world-travelling businessman or translator, then I'd go with Chinese, Japanese or Russian, or even Arabic, but that's later on.

Spanish is probably the easiest and most practical. Just beware: Don't take Italian after Spanish! I did, and it got way too confusing cuz they're so similar. 1 year of Italian almost erased my 3.5 years of Spanish.

But if you do want to be a translator or true multi-linguist, then sure, take the Latin now while you're young. (Altho there is nothing stopping you from learning it on your own)

Gee, I didn't know they even offered Latin anymore. I remember my brother took it in high school years and years ago. It was called the "dead language" even back then.

Of course, it came in handy for Priests, but even they don't use it anymore, for the most part.

It's your decision Santino, but I think if it were me, I'd go with a "real" language (so to speak).

It's getting darker earlier now
