My friend who spoke directly with LCM after he was booted said he said he didnt' think he did anything wrong. That being said, he obviously feels no remorse about his actions.

She moved across the country. That's why you didn't see her again. The only reason why she was allowed to do that dance was because her dad is a reverend who has been at HQ for most of the past 30 years, and she studied dance at BGSU.

The blonde is young. Her daddy is well-known at TWI, and his name is mentioned pretty frequently here at GSC. She is college-age. The guy in the suit is young as well--late 20s or early 30s? His daddy is a big wig (reverend) in twitville too. That production was lame. Those songs are all new, but there is no life or inspiration in them. My hubby (a musical man) listened, and he said M*ke M*artin was singing out of key and had bad pitch.

Congratulations Raf! Finding your soul mate is awesome!!

Belle, I'm sorry, but that cake idea is GROSS!!!! I couldn't do it. It looks to real. :blink:

8. I'd like to smoke it, but I am too paranoid of having consequences from it.

I wanted to surprise my husband with tickets to see The Police in Las Vegas, and they were $2,600!!!! Can you believe that??? I am still in shock over it. Then I wanted to get him tickets to Genesis, and they were $500, still too much money!!! I remember when I saw 4-6 bands in the late 70s and early 80s for $25. Ah...the good ole dayz. KC and the Sunshine Band tickets go on sale tomorrow at Mandalay Bay. I'll see how much they are. I love their sound even though it is from the disco era. You can't beat the horns in that group. Their music is pure energy. KC and the Sunshine Band tickets go on sale tomorrow at Mandalay Bay. I'll see how much they are. I love their sound even though it is from the disco era.

I don't believe we will ever agree on what is "right". My question is "Why is it important?" Is it so terrible to not have the same thoughts and opinions on anything, including the Bible? I don't think so. It is determinig what is "right" that has caused division in so many groups. Rightness became an issue in TWI because they believed they were the only ones who had it right. All of us here can see where that got us. Who cares if somone is trinitarian or not? Does that really make them an idol worshipper? Does that make them less of a person? Does that make them blatantly wrong? I'm just trying to live life and enjoy it along the way. I don't care what the pastor believes or even what he teaches as long as I am comfortable being in the congregation and love is shared there. I might not agree with all things, but that is where I've taught myself not to get my panties in a wad about the small stuff.

I think part of the problem is that a part-time worker is not considered eligible for medical assistance because they make too much money? Some how there seems to be a problem with the system. I've seen that happen a lot in Arizona. Someone makes $9 an hour and makes too much to be on the State's medical. Who can live on $9 an hour? I don't get it. Maybe some day that will change. We need to go to legislature to do that though. It's hard to go to legislature when you work full time. Did they plan it that way??? If I were you, I would talk with the finance department at the hospital to see if you can get reduced fees. You know they overcharge like crazy. They will work with you, especially if they know you are willing to pay. Most non-insured just fly especially if they don't have any property to put a lien against.

Most people don't eat in the dining room for lunch because there is such a variety of buffet items available on cruises at breakfast and lunch. They usually save their dining room experience for dinner. As you know, the food on cruises is UNBELIEVABLY DELICIOUS!!! I suggest you do go to the dining room for lunch. It might help you control portions and get something better than buffet items.

Here's a link to some reviews of people who have been there. Trip Adviser Reviews of Chankanaab

One more thing: Chankanaab has dolphins you can interact with. It is an extra cost with the price of admission, but it is a great experience to swim with the dolphins. There are a few different programs. I suggest you spend the extra money to actually swim with them as opposed to interacting with them. I have done it twice, and it is a very memorable experience for me. The cost is about $150 per pereson. That is my only suggest for "excursions". If you do this, schedule it ASAP because the schedules are always full. Pay ahead online and make sure you take your print out with you. Here's the website: Dolphin Swim Information If you swim with the dolphins, take your own waterproof disposable camera. You will want the pictures. They will take pictures for you, but they will charge tons of money. You will each get turns doing things with the dolphins. The other one can take pictures for the other. I don't suggest exchanging your money for pesos. They take American cash anywhere, and you won't be stuck with useless pesos when you get home. Do take lots of smaller bills with you so that you don't have to take change back in pesos.

I've been to Cozumel/Playa del Carmen 3 times now. I went on a cruise one of those times. I do not suggest buying an excursion. I do suggest taking a taxi and going to Chankanaab park for snorkeling. It is AWESOME!!! We went there, and then we went to Carlos and Charlie's to do a little partying. When we got back on the ship, we had a great time. We asked those who spent over $100 on excursions if they thought it was worth it. They weren't completely enthused. If you are doing it on your own, then you can spend as much time in the water as you want. If you are in Cozumel, the water is where you want to be. If you go on an excursion, you will get 2 hours TOPS in the water. Chankanaab costs about $20 to get in, and the taxi ride will cost about another $30 RT from the docks to the park. The great thing about Cozumel is they have set pricing on taxi rides, so you know what it is up front. No screwing around about prices. The pricing is usually posted at the docks. There is food, drinks, showesrs, lockers, and shopping at Chankanaab as well. I suggest you buy your own snorkel equipment. Once you do it, you will be hooked. I know people who dive and love snorkeling more. If your ship has snorkel equipment for rent, I would rent it there rather than at the park for sanitary reasons. You are safe to drink the water at places like Carlos and Charlies. They have purified water systems. They really cater to tourists in Cozumel. It is a wonderful place. You will have to tell me what the foliage looks like. I was in Playa del Carmen when Hurricane Wilma hit. The place was devastated when we left. I want to go back. But I like seeing the tropical jungle there. That was gone when we left after the hurricane. That was in October 2005. Ask any other questions you like. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about the area. It is my favorite vacation destination.

That's the price you pay for being famous. I have no sympathy. I guess she should just buy a helicopter with the $50M she will inherit so she can go from place to place. Tell me again: why is she famous?

I believe he was 26th or 27th Corps which would have graduated 1998 or 1999. That is too late for him to be in residence in 1991.

I second that. You add a dynamic to this place, and I would miss you too much!!

Do you mean sculpter? I believe a scalper is one who cuts off scalps (ewww!!!) or one who sells concert tickets at a high price on the day of the event.

How heartbreaking and tragic. WTF can get people to commit that kind of heinous crap? I hope that SOB rots and cries every night because of the heinous things that should be done to him.

I've had many avatars since being here. I used to always have humming birds of some sort. Then I had a picture of myself. Then I changed to the Peet's Coffee logo because I LOVE that coffee! This is a cafe afterall, and I have to make sure we have the good stuff here especially since I appointed myself ast the head waitress.

I agree that saying a fresh patch of dirt is a grave is way beyond what the media should be saying. It doesn't help the family who lost her, and it causes more emotion than is already needed in a situaiton like this. Gosh, I hope they find her alive. It doesn't seem to hopeful though when the little boy said his mama was crying and broke the table (altercation?) and is in the rug (they wrapped her up in it?). It's scarey, and I hope my thoughts are completely wrong.

I believe that anything 20 miles over the speed limit is a felony. That is the reason the cars are confiscated. I don't think it's theft at all. What if someone was killed by this guy blasting through the streets like that? Lives can't be replaced. I have an ex boss who served one year in prison for killing a man with his car. He had just gotten a new Ferrari and wanted to show it off to a friend. He bitched and complained about paying restitution to the widow and her 5-year-old daughter. He got out of jail, bought a new Ferrari, and is still bitching. Meantime, this lady still doesn't have her husband, her her daughter doesn't have a daddy. Speeding is dangerous!!!

Hmmmm.....wrapping everything in bacon. That was before they knew about the effects of fat. Ah!!!! Those were the good ole days when ignorance was bliss and we could enjoy ourselves at the table.

I think Pawtucket knew him from way back when in California. He is another man trying to expose the evils of TWI. What's so bad about that? He's interviewed people, and he has provided some great information IMHO.

Is anyone getting married any time soon? How about having a weddng there, inviting all of us GSCers, and letting Oakspear officiate the wedding.

You most definitely are!
