I remember that! I was first out on a two-way sit and I looked back in the plane and saw that look. Absolutely priceless!

"Red Cross car bombed in Iraq" Another international aid organization targeted in Iraq. First the UN HQ was destroyed, now the relief workers are being killed.

Relax, you'll be fine. Just put it in a bag, smile, and keep your mouth shut at the checkpoint.

Dude! Why wasn't I there! DOH! (repeatedly kicks self) Next year I gotta go.

If you are not opposed to sharing living quarters with another human being, look for someone who wants a tenant/roomate in their house. Leasing can be very flexible- I've had good luck with this in the past and it's been my experience that people with houses looking for roomates just want help with the bills and leave you alone.

Show up with a 12-pack on each shoulder and ask "CAN SOMEONE SHOW ME TO THE FRIDGE?!?!?"

That's a good point. Some of the best CDs I've gotten we're from street bands that perform in the park or clubs and sell their disc for $10.

If you haven't seen her recently, get up there. You'll regret it otherwise.

Same with mine. She lived another four years but had just about given up.

Beautiful! Now we just need to get the RIA to move into the 21st century. (sellthemonthenetsellthemonthenetsellthemonthenet) No one wants to pay $18 for 6 tracks of crap and two decent songs.

Thank goodness for that. I remember hearing all the stories from 'former volunteers' in the Florida recounts about standards changing again and again and little chads scattered everywhere.

Oh boy, that thing is a supreme court case waiting to happen. I can just see armies of lawyers looking through ballots for erasures and stray pencil marks. "Oh look- a little bit of pencil lead on the square. We think this voter INTENDED to vote for Bill the Cat, but voted for Jenny the Porno Queen instead." Of course, I'm in the state that elected a dead guy to congress (I think).

COBRA works fine, but it is only practical if you have a pre-existing condition that needs to be covered in the future. Otherwise it is quite expensive- you need to conver your cost, employers cost, plus a premium. Check with your HR department- just getting a private policy may be the most practical and cost-effective.

We're on the edge down here as well. City won't renew our lease so we're stuck going month to month. No one wants to pump too much into improving the facilities since the future is cloudy. They've already gotten rid of the ultralights by requiring them to have hull insurance. The rest of us (gliders, skydivers, probably small GA as well) are on the hit list. The city has this weird pipe dream that they're going to tack on 1000' to each end of the runway and launch corporate jets. Never mind the high-tension power lines and school at one end and the recent subdivisions that have sprung up next door. We're also too far from downtown to make this practical from a corporate executive viewpoint, since the whole point of having corporate jets is to get the senior management where they need to be quickly.

Argh argh argh argh argh Argh argh argh, argh argh argh argh Avast argh argh, argh argh

Argh.

I did this for a while as well. BC/BS accident/hospitalization is relatively cheap- I think its about a case of beer a week. Please people, get some damn insurance if you don't have it. I'm tired of seeing my rates go up because my provider needs to cover the medical costs of the people who refuse to contribute to the pot.

clowns'll eat me

I'll bring the wine, the rosemary, and the sorbet. You provide the spear.

I'm not sure if that's the Empire States building or the former WTC. If it's the later, you might want to keep that one. They'll never be another like it again.

Hey, welcome back! I might have to drive down to SDA now. Too bad I dont' get back in till Saturday evening.

What are ya doing next weekend? I'm thinking candles, soft music, small squeaks in the background......

I'm up in Toronto and we're not expecting much by the time it gets here, but I laid in a supply myself just in case. Yeah, like I need an excuse anyways. Now, how do I sneak it all past the customs man at the border?

This is just too damn funny. If you get Spike TV you need to watch this. From Japan with dubbing.
