  1. Best wishes to Mr. Beatie, his wife Nancy, and their new baby girl, Tracy.
  2. Congratulations, Jaye and Joe! You are both very lucky to have each other!
  3. I don't think 24 had a big enough impact to change the outcome of the primary, but it did help get people used to the idea of a president who didn't fit the traditional mold.
  4. I really, really wish people in these situations would learn to shut up. What he did was probably lawful, if the media reporting is correct. However, making statements to ANYONE, especially the police or the media, is a good way to set yourself up to be prosecuted or sued by the family of the guy you shot. If there's no statements other than those made by his lawyer (hearsay), there's nothing to use legally other than the facts of the investigation. If you throw personal statements into the mix, all bets are off, especially since the human memory can be faulty and people start making statements that can be twisted to appear contradictory, which makes the prosecutors and attorneys think the person is being less than truthful. In a situation like this, there should be ONE statement made: to his attorney, and anything additional should be with his attorney present. Real life example from my own life: My mom is driving her car, and from out of nowhere, a kid on a bike comes out of the bushes and crosses the middle of an intersection against a solid red light, weaves through two cars and runs into the side of her car. Slam dunk... she's not at fault, right? Wrong. She pulls over, a witness calls 911, cops and paramedics show up. Kid goes away in an ambulance. Now she makes her mistake: she starts talking. Cop asks about visibility. She says "when I left work, the windshield was fogged, but by the time of the accident, it was fine." What ends up in the police report: "Driver says windshield was fogged up." The kid's health insurance company is suing.

    I got that in a my email a few days ago. It's a really cool story!
  7. I think it was a bad idea when Bush came up with it, and it's still a bad idea, no matter who's supporting it.
  8. dammit! now you're making me hungry again!
  9. Pan seared tilapia with lemon caper sauce and wild rice, with steamed asparagus on the side. I have discovered I like to cook! (although it probably would've been cheaper to just order the fish at a restaurant!)
  10. OOOOOOOOOOOOOH........Wo'tay. I didn't reasd the bottom part of the OP. Me thinks I should go to bed now.....ypu know it's bad when you question if your own posts make sense. Hehe... G'nite, Ralffers.
  11. Yes, LP is in Montana, but the top half of Glacier is in Canada, and we were thinking of taking a day to drive up there, like Moody said in her post.
  12. Alcohol will be acquired at Lang after we get there. No need to haul it all the way up when the beer's better up there!
  13. According to the state department website, travel between the US and Canada now requires a passport or a state-issued ID and proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate. "Canadian law requires that all persons entering Canada must carry both proof of citizenship and identity. A valid U.S. passport or NEXUS card satisfies these requirements for U.S. citizens. If U.S. citizen travelers to Canada do not have a passport or approved alternate document such as a NEXUS card, they must show a government-issued photo ID (e.g. Driver’s License) and proof of U.S. citizenship such as a U.S. birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or expired U.S. passport." http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1082.html
  14. You need to re-read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy! You forgot your towel!
  15. Down another couple of pounds. The jumpsuit is somewhere close to comfortable again (thank you bev-suit spandex!). Was supposed to go jumping Sunday and do my recurrency, but family stuff got in the way. Dammit, I want to get current again!!!
  16. I did, but the temps in Perris are suppose to be around 100 and she was not into that. Up until it started getting hot both her and my son would be at the DZ with me all the time. Let her know there are plenty of ways to stay cool at Perris. Perris has a beautiful pool, and the bomb shelter bar/restaurant is air conditioned, and so is the gear store. Also, she and your son (if he's over 5 years old) can try the wind tunnel. They'd probably have a blast. There's a decent hotel down the street from the dropzone (day's inn??) if she's not so into camping.
  17. I'm going to be taking the test soon. Have to head down to the DMV after hours and ride around on their course to practice first.
  18. George W. is endorsing Obama? ROFLMAO!!!
  19. Hehe. I spent about six weeks researching orange trees before buying that one. Wanted to make sure I did it right and didn't kill the thing.
  20. I had a few bees, and then I took a soft brush and brushed the flowers with it. I think the bees were more successful, so next year I will import a few.
  21. Very good point Did she let it drop after she got called on her crap? I thought she still had the CCW. No, she doesn't have it anymore.
  22. Are the community type forums going to remain visible to members only or will they be visible to the general public again?
  23. What's really disgusting is that Feinstein used to have a CCW. So, apparently, it's okay for HER to protect herself, but nobody else.
  24. Those cliffs are SO beautiful. I saw them in wintertime, and the rain was turning to ice and burning our faces. When we got back to the car, it looked like we'd been stung by bees! Worth it for pictures like this, though!
  25. I doubt there would be squabbles. Most people wouldn't bother, and the rest could just be first come first serve.
