Chicago is still the murder capitol of the US. Murders have been few here on the Texas - Mexico border. McAllen is a city of 115,000 and I believe we had 1 murder in town last year. Within the past couple of years the Rio Grande Valley has seen a few multiple homicides, always linked to the drug trade. But for the most part the Mexico border towns are much safer than many Chicago neighborhoods.

Is this the same HR department that banned capris?

In Texas we play both kinds of music Country and Western

Busted Steff's at work.

what a bunch of wimps. OUCH!

I went to my usually steller search at Unbound Bible and couldn't come close.

Could it be: Malachi Malachi 1:4 Though Edom says, "We have been beaten down, but we will return and build up the ruins"; thus says the LORD of hosts, "They may build, but I will tear down; and men will call them the wicked territory, and the people toward whom the LORD is indignant forever."

I usually toss on some cds. Right now I have Marvin Gaye's Greatest Hits going. Man what a voice.

Was he at lunch with a client? Way back in the neanderthal ages of the 1980s and early 1990s a two or three martini lunch with a customer was the norm. Some industries have gone away from that big time. Some customers still cling to it and salepeople have to devide ways to handle it. At one time I had three of the biggest alcoholics as my biggest customers., Lunches on T-W-F were all drinking affairs. In all cases I would pick up a couple cheeseburgers and fries before "lunch". The classis was the guy who went to the same restaurant every day. He had a race with his favorite waitress if she could mix his old fashion and get it to the table before he got to his table. Then she would take my order and when she brought me my drink, she would bring another for him. Then when the food was served, she would slip another fresh drink and ask me if I wanted one. There was no declining so when she brought me one he would have another. That out him 4-2 on me and we're just to the food. As she cleared away the plates another drink would appear and it was time for an "after lunch drink". Same scenario repeated itself. He would have 6 old fashions every day. My other two heavy drinkers had similar plans. They never actually ordered the drinks, their waitresses knew what to do. They never drew attention to themselves by ordering, and they all appeared fairly normal.

Sorry, I was busy picking fresh oranges off my tree and couldn't post sooner to share your pain. Very tasty this year. We had a fair amount of rain, which really helped. I'm a little sunburned from this past weekend. Do not worry. Soon the warm weather and slush and mud will be everywhere.

eBay link Some of you may have raced in Pinewood Derbies as kids. Basically in Cub Scouts they are for the parent and child to take a $4 kit and build a nice little car and race against other kids. Should be low key fun. But then some families take it way too serious . . .

I tried reading through the whole thing and couldn't. I have one question, at any time did steff post a pic of her booty?

I4E got a stress test today and yesterday. He was so frazzled he thought I was southsider a couple times. He bit me on something I was agreeing with him on. It's tough when everyone gangs up on you. What are you doing with all the free time now that you aren't around here too often?

LMAO In a panic I reread the thread title three times, each time thinking I did make a mistake.

Actually I have the money to start this, but it is hung up in a Nigerian account. The Nigerians will not release it to me because my family fell out of graces with the current government. I have an agent in Nigeria who will release the money to someone in the US, as long as it isn't me or anyone in my family. I would gladly pay someone over $100,000 if they would help me recover the money. I just do not know who to trust . . .

No when you won't pay $175 for a DVD player it moves to Mexico, then when all the DVD players are under $100 someone decides they can corner the market with a $47 DVD player from China.

southsider, I'm going public with this deal. Can you work the IPO? Call Martha and Sam and the boys from Enron Were Back!

No problem. I'm going to pay the kid 5 pesos and make 5 pesos for doing nothing. I beat you all

Brando, Nice to see you dropped by.

You have no understanding of the rules and regulations of operating in Mexico and could get yourself in a lot of trouble. I operate a shelter operation. Pay me the 10 pesos per hour and I will ahndle all the arrangements, work permits, payroll, food service, etc.

There are web sites devoted to this scam. Here And here Some have started scamming peeple who are looking for the truth. Don't lose $15,000 with them, give us $250 and we will check it out for you using our men in Nigeria . . .

Cheat, whose that in your avatar?

Right now God is saying I see Ray And Captain Kangaroo . . And I see I use to hide from the Romper Room Lady, she freaked me out doing that black magic trick.

I worked for a company that 53 out of 57 employees were Jewish. It was mighty lonely on the Jewish holidays. A couple years after I left, I heard a co worker say he wanted to apply at that company but he knew he wouldn't be hired because he wasn't Jewish. I learned a couple of things that day. 1. Everyone in the office assumed I was Jewish because I had worked there, or at the minimum my wife was Jewish. They also noticed most of my buddies that called had names like Goldman and Bernstein. 2. They didn't bother to apply because they "knew" the company had racist hiring practices. The fact that less than 10% of the employees was explained by the local population, the ties to a community group that helped Russian Jews who immigrated, and the fact that gentiles would not apply. Was that company racist? I never experienced it first hand. One of the other "non Jews" (I dislike that phrase) was named Nagma and I believe she was Hindu. It is hard to take your cries of racism when you've made statements like all Palistinians are liars. I have friends with children in Israel and they hate the Muslims and Arabs less than you, by a wide margin. There is racism around the world. For every group there is another who hates them. How many made in China, US Flags get burned every year? How many US Presidents get burned in effigy each year? Now start looking at individual races, religions, nationalities, etc. and you will see a ton more. Are Jews hated more than others? I honestly do not believe it. A Palistinian only has to link to your posts to prove that racism exists against them and that is why they are fearfull.
