Hmmm...I think I qualify...(and this is from skydiving) 7 pins holding a six inch plate on my fibula and one pin holding the end of my tibia on...plus I have a two inch pin that was removed...damn that thing is big...it looks like something you would use to build a house with, but was used to keep my ankle bones together so they would heal in the correct position... Ouch......remember to flare....and don't flare late and reach with a limb... ~R+R...Ooops... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

Blame it on Sting, the man said in an interview what he meant in the song...but whatever...That was a while ago...I may be wrong... ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

I agree....After reading the CNN article, I went, "Ahhhhhhhhh, that makes more sense..." The BBC sound like they have their thumbs up their asses...uh DUH... ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

Actually, the song is about stalking someone...not keeping an "eye on someone"...If I remember correctly it was based on a real celebrity stalking incident, but for the life of me I can't remember who or any other details......You are right about one thing, there was absolutely no love intended in the song...at least not from both sides... ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

No, I don't have children, but I remember quite vividly my teenage years. I was never forced to wear certain clothes, but my mother would tell me quite bluntly whether she thought something was appropriate or not. I agree, but I also know that teenagers wear clothes to stick out on purpose...and to get attention...I saw a lot of strange things when I was in high school, some cool, some quite ridiculous... I listened to my parents too...and you make a good point, sometimes parents aren't there to observe what a child is going to wear to school. But I know what my mom taught me...and I also knew the difference between what looked flattering on me and what made me look downright stupid. I only went to private school for a few years when I was much younger and had no idea why I had to wear a skirt and knee socks...but anyway, when uniforms aren't worn, that leaves the student open to a vast array of clothes to wear to school. Public schools aren't always the best about encouraging dress codes and when those codes are enforced, then it causes problems. The only thing that I remember from my high school was no belly buttons should be seen (though that happened all the time) and vulgar, or alcohol related language on shirts...(but you only turned it wrongside out and went about your day)...I think it is ridiculous to ask someone to take off a shirt, but to turn it wrong side out, not a problem...you can still read it anyway......Missing a day of school for a t-shirt...come on...that is a wasted day... ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

You took the words right out of my mouth!! I, myself, would say that I am Agnostic, however, I am probably more Apathetic as well. And you are right, there is a line between a true Atheist who doesn't give a damn about religion and individuals who actively "preach" against religion... ~R+R...... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

I love it when "they" ("they" being school officials/administrators) make statements such as this. I remember when I was in high school and several students everyday had to turn shirts inside out in order to "cover up" offensive humor or beer/drug references...(I live in a University town, so half the shirts from PU make references to alcohol, etc.) No one, and I repeat no one was sent home for wearing an idiotic t-shirt, because of how some administrator felt. I have a problem with teenagers not being able to wear what they want, however, I think that the parents should have a say in what a child wears, and should have the good sense to encourage decent dress to school. I have a problem with a student missing school because of a t-shirt. That is ridiculous and yet another example of how school systems in America are focusing on the wrong things. Instead of worrying about the lack of education that most pupils are recieving some administrators are worried about "dam" on a t-shirt. Sorry Miss Gazaway, I don't give a "dam" how you feel! (Now kid, put that on a shirt and wear it....) ~R+R...SOIT MAUDIT!!!!!!!! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

Ok, that is what my friend and my dad told me...so I might have been far off in my response...thanks for the clarification!!!

I come from a large Catholic family and though I chose not to be confirmed, I have had several friends that did, and technically speaking, becoming an adult has nothing to do with being confirmed...In terms of chosing to uphold the Catholic church and teachings of the Bible, among other things...yeah, that is more or less what you are being "confirmed" for...My father was confirmed at a very young age, and though the age may have increased for confirmation...becoming an adult has nothing to do with being confirmed in the Catholic church...(I know, I thought about going through the process as an adult)... ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

This reminded me of something that I was told in high school by my economics teacher...He said, that the economy determined the next president...if it was doing well, the current president served another term, if it was doing poorly, then there was time for a "change" and someone else, or another party was voted into office. He called it last time...Let's see if his method works again...... ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

I second that...hopefully I will get "it" soon...... ~R+R...Why did you have to mention it...?!? ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

Unfortunately, there are far too many children in this day in age that aren't learning that life isn't fair. I grew up with several Jewish children in my neighborhood when I lived in Raleigh, and I have to say that at that age I never understood why she got to stay home so much, but to have a Bar Mitzvah for a kid to fit in?!?! That is just downright stupid, but as the last poster said, if the father has $40grand to throw away, it is his right...and his own stupidity, but ok... And in terms of parenting, in a nutshell you sound like you got it...my parents did the same thing. They taught me to work hard to achieve goals, to expect some bumps in the road, and have loved me even when I think I have royally screwed up...... I personally think that the trendy stupid "latest rage in big cities" usually makes me laugh...because of how ridiculous they are......this is definitely one of the funniest...(and dumbest...) ~R+R... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

I think the Pelican Brief was the same way. the un-resolved tension made for a better film. I agree...the scene was unnecessary...But in terms of Denzel Washingtom being a racist...I really don't know...... ~R+R ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

Yeah, like the only difference for me is substitute Alabama with Indiana...and there you go...... ~R+R...Remember people, there are more than two choices, you just have to look further than Republican or Democrat...

Dude, that has become my motto......I'm pretty much around...8k myself...and that's mostly due to me being irresponsible while I wasn't working for a semester...but jumping every weekend...... ~R+R...Actually, this subject really depresses me...now I need a beer...but I don't have any......And I don't want to spend any money on it....... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...

Well, it sounds like someone would like to relocate to Texas...but I am biased...I love Texas and my best friend lives in Houston...sooo...that would be my vote...... And here is a good break down: I rest my case... ~R+R...I personally liked the area of Houston I was in...but my friend lives in a nice area, as opposed to where a friend of mine from the Purdue Club is from in Houston...that area sounds a bit scary... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Fly the friendly skies...^_^...})ii({...^_~...
