  1. Thanks for the support, worst part is it won't be just out of State it will be out of Country since I am in Canada. I am just so confused right now I don't know what to do and what is right all I know is that I don't want to lose my son and I can't see any way that visitation could even work with 1600 miles separating us and a round trip flight costing $600.

    The burden of cost should be on her. She's leaving. AT least that is how the courts here usually decide.

  2. A couple of thoughts in the Yankee strategy.

     

    Of course they are going to start the kid out of town and not at Yankee stadium.

    It gives them an excuse if they continue to struggle against the Sox and the league in general

    They know our history of generousity towards 1st time starters.

  3. I know it's hard to imagine but there are early season bandwagon jumpers at Wrigley. The core Cub fan is appalled at this. The "I'm just here to be scene" crowd thinks it's a cool story to tell their friends the next day over coffee at Starbucks, and the idiots are having a field day.

     

    Thankfully they aren't at the cell with this s***.

  4. while you are taking back usage, could we get back community service? t use to be a good thing. People wanted to volunteer and improve their communities. Now community service is viewed as a punishment. America is losing something that made us great and word usage is partly to blame.

  5. WASHINGTON -- The United States is bracing for possible terrorist attacks before the November presidential election, national security adviser Condoleezza Rice said Sunday.

     

    The opportunity for terrorists to try to influence the election, as was the case last month in Spain, appears to be an opportunity that would "be too good to pass up for them," Rice said.

     

    "I think that we do have to take very seriously the thought that the terrorists might have learned, we hope, the wrong lesson from Spain," Rice told "Fox News Sunday."

     

    "I think we also have to take seriously that they might try during the cycle leading up to the election to do something," she said.

     

    "We are actively looking at that possibility, actively trying to see - to make certain that we are responding appropriately," she said.

     

    Jose Maria Aznar, outgoing prime minister of Spain and a strong U.S. ally in the war in Iraq, says he has warned President Bush that he believes terrorists will try to affect the U.S. election as they did in Spain.

     

    On March 11, terrorists blew up a rail line in Madrid, killing 191 and injuring 1,800 others.

     

    "I told George Bush, and (British Prime Minister) Tony Blair and other political leaders to be extremely careful before elections ... and to be very vigilant," Aznar told Fox.

     

    Aznar's Popular Party was favored to win the election until the four commuter trains were attacked. "It is obvious that these attacks were looking for a political effect," he said.

     

    Socialist leader Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, who succeeded Aznar, announced on Sunday that he was ordering Spanish troops out of Iraq "in the shortest time possible."

     

    Earlier, Zapatero said he would pull the 1,300 Spanish troops by June 30 unless the United Nations took over political and military control of the occupation. He said he acted after deciding that the United Nations was not prepared to take over the occupation.

     

    Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos said he would meet Wednesday in Washington with Rice and Secretary of State Colin Powell.

     

    Newspaper reports from Spain said Moratinos hopes to show U.S. officials that Spain wants to maintain its current good relations with the United States and that the minister will offer nonmilitary cooperation in Iraq, such as training of police, as an alternative to having Spanish soldiers in the country.

  6. Administration says it wants Hamas "put out of business"

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Responding to Israel's slaying of a Hamas leader, the Bush administration denounced the Palestinian group on Monday as a terrorist organization that should be "put out of business."

    Over time the Palestinian government should shut down Hamas and provide Palestinians with the social services that Hamas offers them, spokesman Richard Boucher said.

     

    Taking the approach it usually does when Israel strikes, the State Department said Israel had a right to defend itself but also should consider the consequences of its actions.

  7. Date: April 20 2004

     

     

    A jilted husband tried to kill himself by throwing himself into the tiger enclosure at a zoo in central China.

     

    The depressed man hoped to be eaten alive after climbing into the tiger enclosure in Wuhan Dongxihu Shengshan Happy World, the South China Morning Post reported yesterday.

     

    Zookeepers distracted the tigers by throwing them chickens and then hauled the man to safety, the newspaper said.

     

    The man became suicidal after his wife dumped him.

     

    I thought it was about Pudge Rodriguez

  8. I am told this is the Blue Angles dropping flares that are used to confuse heat seeking missles. They call it "Angel Decoy". Even if it's incorrct, still a cool picture.

  9. A young couple got married and left on their honeymoon. Back at home

    for a few days, the bride called her mother.

     

    "Well, how was the honeymoon?" asked the mother.

     

    "Oh, Mama," she replied, "the honeymoon was wonderful! So

    romantic..."

     

    Suddenly she burst out crying. "But, Mama, as soon as we returned,

    Sam started using the most horrible language. He's been saying things

    I've never heard before! All these awful four-letter words! You've

    got to come get me and take me home! Please, Mama!"

     

    "Sarah, Sarah," her mother said, "calm down! Tell me, what could be

    so awful? What four-letter words has he been using?"

     

    "Please don't make me tell you, Mama," wept the daughter, "I'm so

    embarrassed! They're just too awful! You've got to come get me and

    take me home! Please, Mama!"

     

    "Darling, baby, you must tell me what has you so upset. Tell your

    mother these horrible four-letter words!"

     

    Still sobbing, the bride replied, "Oh, Mama ... words like dust,

    wash, iron, and cook..."

  10. I can't draw flies either.. I always mess up on the wings..  :lol:

     

    But I think we sell Frank short on his getting into the hall. I think in general most give him credit for his accomplishments. Right now the contract crap overshadows that. Once he's no longer playing I think he'll get the "love"..

    Maybe I phrased this wrong. I believe as soon as you show a highlight reel of the 1990s, he's in. Maybe it will take a vote or two, and it will depend on who else is eligable each year, but I cannot imagine the Hall without Thomas.
