Best of luck with the house.......and your son. Keep in touch. Dont' be such a.......well, you know.

I believe she still keeps both Elvis' personal properties and Graceland, the biggest cash cow. She's not totally stupid.

No.

Gotcha.

We obviously both like rap, so on that we agree. We also both respect people's right to form their own opinions, so we agree on that as well. My last statement was meant to show that I have a "been there, done that" reaction to people making stereotypical statements. They're neither new or shocking to me. Let it go, as I'm quite sure nobody is convincing anyone that their viewpoint is correct on this.

I'm not arguing the validity of an amendment of the United States Constitution here, but is that really a document from God?

You'll have to forgive me, but I'm a bit used to opinions being formed based on stereotypes.

I'm on my way there.

I agree with very little of what is said in this thread against rap, because most of it is due to broad generalizations being made by those who say it (all rap is gangsta rap, no rappers have any actual musical ability, all rappers use only drum machines and sample old songs, etc.). I do, however, agree that they have every right to feel as strongly as they do, whether I agree with it or not.

Moreover, where were YOU?

Go Mikey! No, really.....................GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But since wins vs losses is #s 1-99 in terms of importance...

He's not blonde haired and blue eyed???

How would I know?

This sorta applies. Back in 1980, I asked my Mother for "something homemade" for Christmas. So, she made a collage with images symbolic of things I liked to do then or things that happened to me ("a late bus", since I had problems catching the school bus on time). I have had the collage ever since. About a year ago, I decided to get the collage framed. I had this done before she came over to visit. So, I showed her the framed collage that she had given me nearly 25 years ago. When she saw it, she started to cry. She couldn't believe I still had it! I'll neve get rid of it.

How awful.

I really love playing basketball now. Too bad I didn't when I was in high school. I played it all 4 years, but basically to stay in shape between football and track. Ever since graduating high school and getting away from the a**hole coaches I had then, I've grown to love the game. While in the Air Force stationed in Berlin, I played for our base basketball team and it was a great experience! I got to travel (played in Korea, Japan, England, Greece) and get paid, not to mention play hoops. It's just a great time. Your dad sounds like a real winner!

Still considering it.

Go Larry J!!!! I still have hope that he'll be "the one" to break the dreaded curse on Penn State RBs in the pros. We haven't had a good one since Curt Warner. Man, was he good! Injuries robbed him of a potentially great career.

Disney Channel was one of the things my niece would watch repeatedly when she was younger. She watched that show when Martika was on (she had a 3 minute pop career) but before Jennifer Love Hewitt. Stacey Ferguson was the little one who was the tagalong. She's pretty nice looking now.

Nice. Another track guy here; I like that. You hurdle? Highs or intermediates? Both? In college, I did just the highs (along with the high jump and sprints/relays) but in high school, I did both the highs and intermediates.

She's come a long way from Kids Incorporated.

Agreed. What do politicians have against good-looking spouses? Is it illegal or something?

A sign of the apocalypse?

Well, he did lose the last election, PastaJoe. Let people bask in the glory of.....................whatever glory they get out of that.
