BTW, the nurse played by someone named "Chris"? Her full first name was "Christopher".

Anytime anyone starts to look at cutting funding for NPR and PBS, someone brings up Sesame Street, as if it's the only content of both NPR and PBS. Since that's a show the majority of us watched as children, or our children watch(ed) it, it's got quite an emotional pull. I think NPR should be treated just like any commercial radio network. If they have listeners, they make money. If they make money, they stay on the air. If they don't stay on the air, it's because they're not making money, and that's because they don't have listeners. I don't think that I should have to help fund a propaganda machine. I don't think I should have to help fund a national network of radio stations whose viewpoints I generally disagree with. That would be like forcing me to help fund the Democrat party, or the Ku Klux Klan, or The Way International, simply because they have a right to exist.

Hills, not one COPY at a time - one PAGE at a time.

Yeah, the only thing retained from one show to the next was the character's name.

Yeesh! Sometimes some characters come across as printer control characters. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your printer installed. I don't know what kind of printer you have, so I can't tell you where to get the drivers. If all else fails, print 1 page at a time.

Your neighbor's son may want to consider payments - that's not a bad down payment, and if he can find a car for say, $4000 or so, the payments will be around $100/month, and it will help him establish his credit.

Online petitions are generally worth the paper they're printed on. No offense to you, 3Cents. The reason for this is probably just to get people aware and worked up.

My problem with that is that there was no way that that mother was going to get any money out of this, except if she were offered a book deal or something.

I bet he could find a good used Saturn - those cars are very well made and a good value.

All I remember about summer school when I was a kid is that I hated every minute of it. I had to take U.S. History between my second and third years of high school so that I could graduate a year early. It was SOOOO boring! The guy next to me spent the entire 6(?) week session practicing drawing breasts.

Ya think maybe God should *reward* Harve for getting people out of TWItland?

Three good friends, Martinez, Secola, and O'Brian, attended Catholic grade school together, Catholic high school together, and all three decided to enter the priesthood together. They all three became assistant Parish priests at the same time, they all three became head priests of parishes at the same time. But that's when things changed. Ramirez and O'Brian were made bishops, but Secola remained a priest. Then Ramirez and O'Brian were made Archbishops, but Secola wasn't progressed. Then Ramirez and O'Brian were made Cardinals, but Secola stayed where he was. Finally he couldn't take it. He found some way to receive an audience with the pope, and said, "I am grateful for my parish, and the people in it, and for the work I can do for the church. But I have a question." The pope held up his hand and said, "I understand, my son. You want to know why you weren't made a bishop, an archbishop, a cardinal when your friends were." Father Secola nodded, stunned. The pope went on, "Well, you see, 'Father Secola' works, 'Bishop Secola' is fine, even 'Cardinal Secola'. We just couldn't take the chance on you becoming 'Pope Secola'".

As I understand it, Ratzinger was not the Cardinals first choice for pope. That was, interestingly, Cardinal Hans Grapje. Grapje was raised in a Catholic school in The Hague and, as a young man, aspired to become a priest, but was drafted into the Army during WWII and spent two years copiloting B17s until his aircraft was shot down in 1943 and he lost his left arm. Captain Grapje spent the rest of the war as a chaplain, giving spiritual aid to soldiers, both Allied and enemy. After the war, he became a priest, serving as a missionary in Africa, piloting his own plane (in spite of his handicap) to villages across the continent. In 1997, Father Grapje was serving in Zimbabwe when an explosion in a silver mine caused a cave-in. Archbishop Grapje went down into the mine to administer last rites to those too severely injured to move. Another shaft collapsed, and he was buried for three days, suffering multiple injuries, including the loss of his right eye. The high silver content in the mine's air gave him purport, a life-long condition characterized by purplish skin blotches. Although Cardinal Grapje devoted his life to the service of God as a scholar, mentor, and holy man, church leaders determined that he should never ascend to the Papacy. They felt that the Church would never accept a one-eyed, one-armed, flying purple Papal leader.
