Doing odd jobs for the next door neighbor around 12 or 13, babysitting 15 (I made good money doing that) but my first "paycheck" job was 14. I got a job at the local Baskin Robbins (I lied about myage and they didn't check!) but I got fired about 3 weeks later after I was caught having an ice cream party with my neighborhood friends. :) OH the humiliation! The devestation! Just kidding. I was too young/immature to care anyway!

No Sushi you were definitly NOT one of the posts I was referring too!

Wow. This is a hard pick. But I guess I'm going to have to go with "All my friends are dead" with the guy kneeling at the tombstone. But there are some top runner ups there!

Like an Eagle. It looks awesome. Thanks for the link. I'll be checking it out later when I have time. This is right up my alley! And shame on some of the juvenile replies.

Northern which means normal no accent! :)

vegan Amen! No wonder the case was dropped like a hot potato. Had it been me, I would have called the SPCA and complained.

I just read this and this doesn't surprise me at all. No offense to you GS owners, but those damn police dogs are annoying. I remember quite distinctly yelling at one to stfu because it was BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARKING at me in it's K9 car when I had stopped at a drugstore to buy smokes. I mean WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF! WOOF WOOF WOOOF WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! WOOOF! Okay I guess you get the picture. They are so damn arrogant (hmm, the dog takes after the owner?) that it's really hard to like police dogs. But shepherds/ alsatians are cool dogs.

Well how ’bout that? I’m lost! Looks like we’ll have to stop and ask for directions. * You know Pumpkin, now that you’re thirteen, you’ll be ready for non-chaperoned car dates. Won’t that be fun? * I noticed that all your friends have a certain “up yours” attitude. I like that in a young person! * Here’s a credit card and the keys to my new car. GO CRAZY! * What do you mean you want to play football? Figure skating not good enough for you, son? * Your mother and I are going away for while. You might want to consider throwing a party. * Well, I don’t know what’s wrong with your car. Probably one of those doo-hickie thingies - you know - that makes it run or something. Just have it towed to the mechanic’s and pay whatever they ask. * No son of mine is going to live under this roof without an earring. Now quit your belly aching and lets get to the mall. * Whaddaya want to go and get a job for? I make plenty of money for you to spend. *I think a tatoo of the boyfriend would look great on you. Let's go down to the parlor-I'm paying. * Father’s Day? Ah - don’t worry about that - it’s no big deal. And I'm sure theres more!

Tom. It's NEW SKETE!!!!!!! NOT NEW SKATE!!!!!!!!!!

WG may I just send you a cleaning bill for the coffee I spit all over my screen? Seriously, great post. Thanks! :) BTW, here's a link to say yo to the bros. Meet the Monks

Looks like there is a new series on Animal Planet, Divine Canine, the Monks of New Skete. I've known about these guys for awhile now. They operate a monestary in upperstate New York, and their focus is on training dogs. They have quite a good repuation. I remember when Nico was a pup and ate my furniture and chewed on my robe, I would tease her and threaten to send her there. She wouldn't dare chew on THEIR robes! :o Anyway, I think it's worth checking out. These guys are great. I know they said without the dogs they would be just a bunch of bitter old men.

Oh man, somebody help me out here, Illinois had this same kind of problem with some sort of Japanese bug, that looked like a lady bug, but it wasn't, a few years ago. They were brought over here for some farmers to kill something, and they were an absolute menace. They were everywhere and they BIT! I still see them but not nearly as much as the invasion we had a few years ago. Any Illinoisens remember this?

I'm double posting but.. My god, how can a woman not love... A Woman's Story Or this Marc Almond and Gene Pitney

I'm curious to think of what you guys think of this guy. Marc Almond - Ruby Red He's been my fave artist since the early 80s. And, yeah, if anyone even watches it and pays attention to it, he's a bit hedonistic in the videos, but his records are beautiful, even my 87 year old mother loves much of his stuff. This was the early 80s before videos were readily available on MTV like this I suppose. In fact, I remember this being one of my mom's fave songs. She never saw the video, as far as I know. Love Letter Oh, you guys will never listen to this stuff. It's too "gay" <_< baiting..............

Kids of the Future, Jonas Brothers ERGROAN. the modern Disney "cool, hip, modern, version" (to gradeschoolers) of Kids in America. But here ya go.

"We're the Kids in America! by Kim Wilde.

You guys are so cool, I've really enjoyed all your responses. I really liked the cicada recipes. How you are supposed to catch them early in the morning (when they are nice and juicey?) and throw them in the freezer. People have really taken time out to make some edibles with these creatures! I read also that it's okay for dogs and cats to feast on these, but they may have a problem digesting the wings and shell, so you have to watch them. It's a gourmet feast for them too I guess! According to Wikipedia, for whatever it's worth... "Brood X" (the Great Eastern Brood) a seventeen-year brood stretching from New York to North Carolina on the East Coast to Illinois and Michigan, emerged in May 2004. Brood X is the largest of the broods of the periodical cicadas; it will emerge again in 2021. The next brood to emerge is Brood XIII—the Northern Illinois Brood. (That's us!) After a seventeen-year hiatus, this brood is only scheduled to emerge in 2007. However, sightings in northern Illinois have occurred as early as May 2006.

you guys are so funny! But I guess it's the fact they live underground for 17 years and only come out for a few weeks to mate and then they all die and leave their little babies behind. Reminds me of Charlotte's Web I guess. The music makes it pretty too. I was watching this at work and had to get a tissue out cause I got all weepy. And I HATE insects! I remember working in Elmhurst last time (which has a lot of trees) they came and walking down the sidewalks and it was like, crunch, crunch, crunch. eagle I didn't know you are from chicago area!

Return of the 17 year Cicadas I don't know, stuff like this just makes me appreciate God more and more. How awesome! I've been dreading these things coming and now I can't wait! The guy from my offices landscaping company sent this too me. He just wanted to let us know they would not hurt our trees but we might need a clean up after it's all done.

I don't think it's a rumor, her enemies (and she has plenty) have sniped at her publicly on TV about it, and when her delinquent storage locker got bought after it was up for grabs, they showed the perscritption bottle with her name on it. The perscription (and I forgot what the heck the name of it was) but it was for the herpes virus. She really is a deeply troubled girl. If she doesn't get help she will have a very sad ending to a sad life. Although for some perverse reason it sure is fun to dish about her troubles. Wish I guess isn't very nice but, oh well.

oooh, bad satori. Garth was bad but you are soooooooooooooooo bad. :)

Dots: the site looked creepy to me too. I'm glad you said something. I didn't want to look like I was being cynical because I'm an ex-wayfer. Thanks.

(exie) it is enjoyable to sit an listen on a Sunday night, isn't it? :)

Well I do have a tin ear, and a short attention span, but I gotta tell ya Satori, you never fail to amaze me with your incredible sensitivity. :)
