Thanks a lot guys!! Also as for keeping her away from guys like me, haha I couldn't agree more. Not looking forward to those times ahead haha. The mother of my child wants to name her, Tatum!! The fact you are having a daughter will probably be a great thing for you, because you know first hand how guys can be! I'm sure you'll protect her the best you can. As far as her name, I've always heard Tatum as a guys name, but I wouldn't say it's gender specific. Did she tell you why she likes that name? Just don't name her "Tater Tot" like the comedian Ron White says.

Congrats man BTW... where you the one who was trying to quit smoking? if so, how has it been going?
 He - (Simón Bolívar) - was shaken by the overwhelming revelation that the headlong race between his misfortunes and his dreams was at that moment reaching the finishing line. The rest was darkness. "Damn it," He sighed. "How will I ever get out of this labyrinth!" So what’s the labyrinth? That’s the mystery isn’t it? Is the labyrinth living or dying? Which is he trying to escape - the world, or, the end of it?

Long as I remember The rain been coming down. Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground. Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun; And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

Springsteen's here in Hershey this Friday night. A friend of mine, who does legal work for the production company, is going to watch the concert from back stage. He said the arena is already working to ensure that the particular requests ofthe band members are met fromwater, vitamins and peanut butter. Quite a far cry from the rock-n-roll stereotype of groupies, cocaine, and booze! I visited Hershey as a kid and liked the area. Springsteen played Hershey at the tail end of his last tour in August. This is what his fanzine website "Backstreets" had to say about the Hershey 2008 show: "Once again, it's E Street Band al fresco. And it's not like they had really scaled back performance-wise in the arenas, but tonight at Hersheypark Stadium it was decidedly a stadium-sized show. Three hours and 29 songs, with a powerhouse eight-song encore, and an emphasis on confections like "Darlington County," "Sunny Day," and "Working on the Highway," which Bruce performed out at the end of the center stage thrust. Those who expected locale-specific treats may have been disappointed -- not even "Candy's Room," let alone "Give the Girl a Kiss," "I Want Candy," "Sugar Sugar" or "Candy Man." Springsteen pulled a sign for "Give the Girl a Kiss" as part of the nightly collection, but otherwise, no apparent sense of the occasion for the Boss.
Instead, the Hershey show was a cover-fest: cover songs opened and closed (as in Charleston), with a total of four in the set -- two of them tour premieres. First up was "Summertime Blues" to open. The next one was a tour premiere from the sign collection -- "Oh my god.... we've created a monster!" said Bruce, faced with literally hundreds of signs, and he gave Little Steven first choice. "Pick one, Steve! We're going with obscurity... start with obscurity..." and Steven opted for John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom." ("Appears hastily assembled," Bruce said of the sign, written on a box lid -- with the even more longshot "London Calling" on the reverse.) Steve also picked "Darlington," which followed -- what, no signs for "Held Up Without a Gun"?
Two more covers came in the encore: "Seven Nights to Rock" had its first U.S. airing on the tour, with Garry stepping up to sing along into Steve's mic, and the tour premiere of Them's "Gloria" was a major highlight to close the show. "Let's take it back to where it all started!" Bruce hollered, bringing up Joe and Johnny Grushecky to jam along.
Another tour premiere was "Part Man, Part Monkey" by request, joining "Boom Boom" to recall the Tunnel of Love Express Tour. And did I say there was local flavor? Well, not of the chocolate variety -- but just down the road from the home of the "Scopes 2" trial, Bruce sent this one out to "the Dover parents, and good science education." "We don't know this one," he said (though 20 years ago, they were playing it practically every night), "See if the band can get it." They got it, just as they've gotten every other curveball Bruce and the signs have thrown their way. Like taking candy from a baby."
Setlist: Summertime Blues Radio Nowhere Out in the Street Spirit in the Night The Promised Land Boom Boom Darlington County Waitin' on a Sunny Day Reason to Believe Prove It All Night No Surrender Because the Night She's the One Livin' in the Future Mary's Place Working on the Highway Part Man Part Monkey The Rising Last to Die Long Walk Home Badlands
Thunder Road Jungleland Seven Nights to Rock Born to Run Rosalita Tenth Avenue Freeze-out American Land Gloria (with Joe and Johnny Grushecky)

Congrats to ya Whisp  A first born daughter will always be a Daddys girl  My first born was my daughter and then we had three boys so it all worked out fine! As long as they are healthy and loved it doesn't really matter,they are all precious. Having kids was the best thing (along with marrying Mrs. Y) i ever did.
I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees!

Still, after it was pulled? That usually helps the pain (I should know!) 
I studied Italian for 2 semesters. Not once was a "C" pronounced as a "G", and never was a trailing "I" ignored! And I'm from Jersey!  lol Whaddaya want me to do? Whack a guy? Off a guy? Whack off a guy? --Peter Griffin My DVDs | Facebook | Godfather Filming Locations

Klyd, my daughter's heading down to Hershey for Memorial Day Weekend. This is her first weekend away on her own, so she's pretty excited. It's also her birthday (our first birthday away from her!  ), so she's really looking forward to it. She'll have a lot of fun, SB. Is she going to the park for the weekend. If so, she would be better off buying discounted tickets at some local establishments in the Hershey area. She could save $10 per ticket. Thgere also may be a discounted weekend pass available through Hersheypark's web site. My son also has a Memorial Day birthday, the 25th. He's turning 16 and is looking at cars.

Hershey is nice even though some of the residents complain about the heavy aroma of fresh chocolate that fills the air for much of the day. Springsteen will be playing at the new arena for this concert, and not the nearby stadium. I'm not a seasoned concert attendee, but there may be a difference. This new arena was built a couple of years ago to replace the old arena, which is next to the stadium. The old one was going to be torn down, but the key reason why it remains is because that was the venue where Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a game to set a record.

I remember that pain well. I had 6 dentist visits for one darn tooth. I had to get a root canal. It took two visits to finish that. Then my next visit she put a temporary filling; then a permanent filling; then a temporary crown. At that visit she nipped the back of my tongue with the drill. Talk about painful. I was feeling that for about 5 days. Then just a couple weeks ago I got the permanent crown.
So what kind of car did you buy for your dentist, Beth?! Haha. I think I'm actually putting her future grandkids through college too.
