  1. I am a retired 76 year old woman, living in Toronto with my 27 cats and one nervous parakeet named Dusty
  2. Honey, come closer, I have something to tell you yes mother? I killed your father and his remains are in a freezer in a storage facility in Boston, don't forget to pay the bill . . . :headshake Poor kid. Imagine that as your last memory of good ol' mom

    Math is Hard...

    Not totally. They are behind in other areas like reading and writing and language skills. (even in their native language). They stress formal language skills later. Monterey Tech about 2 hours from me has an incredible tech school.

    Math is Hard...

    One thing that suprised me was how far ahead in math teaching Mexico is. Kids who immigrate here are always a year or two ahead of their agemates in math concepts and skills. It evens out by High School, but for example Mexico has been very successful in teaching algebra to 6th graders. They are behind on other areas, so it really comes down to preference and teaching styles.
  7. They need more quality time on the internet like here at Soxtalk . . . We don't cause any drops in product tell him I'm in a meetingproductivity around the workplace.
  8. My wife is on love with these Pampered Chef home parties. It seems like every other month she's going to one or having one. They do make some nice stuff, but I honestly cannot use one more orange peeler or dutch oven scrapper.
  9. Unplugg it first. I have some wooden tong like things my wife bought and stuck by the toaste. Damn, I think I know what they are for
  10. Ahh Alex, "What is something not said to Jose Valentin last season?" Correct, please choose a category
  11. Especially the people who took the time to match the colors to the labels. The red and white Budweiser hat or the Blue and White Old Style. Too bad the can holder hard hat destroyed that bit of Americana But of course, the internet keeps tradition alive directions to make your own
  12. Two different situations. I agree 100% with what you are saying regarding moving into an unknown situation in a building in Iraq. It is something I would never want to experience. You do have to make a split decision, you have to decide if it is an enemy, an unarmed civilian, a US troop, or a wounded enenmy. I can fully understand mistakes happening, and am truly impressed that it doesn't happen more often in this building to building, room to room, fighting. US soldiers are the best trained, most highly skilled in the world. At least from what I see and hear. This was an area that they allowed a camera crew into, and an enemy they stood over, and clearly the men involved didn't seem to fear for their lives. It wasn't a split second decision. The brass needs to quickly remove this guy, have him evaluated, and an appropriate course of action found. Based on some of the quotes I've read, it seems he needs treatment, not punishment. My concern is we are creating a situation that feeds into the enemies psychological plans. They are convincing a generation of the evil pigs we are, and when we have these abuses, it confirms what the enemy is saying. I want, for the safety of US soldiers, the belief in the enemy that life is better when they surrender. That they might not get 72 virgins, but they will get three squares a day in a nice warm jail, and be treated like humans. Wouldn't it be nice if they ran into our jails, fleeing their commanders instead of fearing they will be shot, or abused? It is also the treatment we should demand from an enemy. It is on a much higher moral plane to ask for what you give.
  13. LOL those beer hats were cool
  14. Roman Nice catch Southsider. May I take this moment to again thank you for the diligent manner in which you perform your duties. This would be a wild and wooly place, unfit for man or beast, if you were not so quick a detective
  15. My mistake. Typing too fast and not proofreading. Can we get a spell check in *I'll* 12?
  16. lol, yes. I use to supply them the aluminum heat sink / cases for their amps. Then even Mexico became too expensive and they started having the heat sinks made in Tiawan. I also supplied Stillwater Designs for their Kicker series.
  17. Why are bagels the hottest damn thing coming out of a toaster? Toast doesn't burn my fingers, damn bagel
  18. Right after we sell Hawaii to the Japanese, we could sell Minny to Canada. Between the two, we may be able to get out of debt and save social security. Of course we'd have to get them to accept the areas "as is" and without any warranty. Damn Selig should have contracted them.
  19. There are some great ones. Yours is coming back in fashion. It looks like Cleveland will be back annoying the hell out of us. I like Ribbie's full use of the handle in his Sig and Avatar.
  20. We could balance the budget and save Social Security by selling Hawaii to the Japanese. What do you think we could get for a developed island?
