wouldn't some kind of FAA report have to be filed in the case of a plane crash?

I just spoke with Cyndi... Icarus passed on last night. Cyndi is willing to return her to us if we want to give her a burial at the DZ where she had so many friends.

did we ever actually declare war against Korea?

no news yet... Cyndi hasn't called me, and I'm a little afraid to call her, I guess.

Ron, I actually agree with you. I think Anvil was targeting a group as well. There were lots of reasons for (and against) the war, and it doesn't make any kind of intelligent sense to put them into such small categories. I don't think war was the right thing to do, but I think Bush had a lot of different reasons for doing it. I don't think he just woke up one morning, scratched his head and said "gee...I think I'll blow up Iraq today to get their oil!" I guess Anvil's comment was a little ambiguous. I didn't see it as any kind of attack, but, since he didn't specify, I can kinda see how it could be read like that.

if it won't fit in that container, the seller's probably just trying to get rid of it, and hopefully, if it doesn't fit, the jumper won't be tempted to try it and will just turn around and sell it to get some of their money back.

its worth a shot, tho

I find it amusing that it cost the government more to mail my grandma's refund than the actual amount of the check. it was something like $.12

d'oh

Icarus updates are in the thread about her... send vibes her way, k?

couple of my best friends are republican, despite my best efforts. I won't hold it against ya.

the parrot joke made me smile. thanks.

yeah... but Icarus probably isn't going to see it.

someone post something funny or cute or something that'll distract me and make me smile...please? even one of those mindless computer games would help. Life really kinda feels like its sucking right now and I need a distraction because there's nothing I can do to help the situation beyond what I've already done and I'm not sure I even helped any at all. I need to stop thinking. sigh. sorry. I'm not making much sense am I? Life just doesn't make a whole lot of sense sometimes, I guess.

I was wondering the same.

here's one that's free for two weeks: http://www.ancestry.com/landing/product/records_free_v3.html?o_xid=11498&o_lid=11498&sourcecode=11498 I've used US Search before, and it worked well: http://www.ussearch.com/consumer/index.jsp

name changes are usually public record. marriage licenses are too. you could call the county she lives in, or the county she got married in to find out how to obtain the records.

VIBES NEEDED URGENTLY! I just spoke with Cyndi at the refuge. She told me Icarus has gone downhill fast today because of the concussion. She wouldn't eat her mouse, and she's having trouble balancing and her breathing seemed strained. Cyndi doesn't think she's going to make it. Cyndi asked me to decide whether or not to euthanize her, as she's obviously special to us. I asked if she was in pain, and was told probably not, but with a bird its hard to tell. I asked Cyndi to let Icarus make the call as to whether it was her time or not. That little one's a fighter, and I'd like to give her a chance, even though right now things look really, really bad. I'm sitting here crying right now. I hope I chose what she would want me to choose. I really hope that she's not hurting, and that I made the right decision to keep her here a while longer and hope against all odds that she can pull through. I honestly don't know what's right in this situation... please, everyone, send some vibes and prayers her way. thanks.

What you say: "I'm so sorry" and add "Is there anything you need me to do?" only if you mean it. What you do: Give her a hug and a shoulder to cry on whenever she needs it. HUGS AND VIBES!!!

tell them its a three week long wild crazy drunken party and you want to hand them out to people to make sure people have them on hand, because if they have them they'll probably use them, but if they don't have them, they probably won't go looking for them.

the irish toast is "Slainte" pronounced SLAWN-cha. dunno about the others.

if you call your local planned parenthood and tell them about the event, they'll probaby give you boxes for free.

most of his list were reasons why I WON'T vote for him. LOL.

I registered her on Pets911 as a found critter looking for her owner. Also on the only falconry database I could find.
