Shaz, You are correct about getting too hot in the Phoenix area in the summer... I live about 200 miles south of Phoenix where the summer is not as bad, it's about 15 degrees cooler here :D-->

Yesterday I was thinking about all of you in the cold and snow while I was out and about in shorts and a t-shirt. I hope you are enjoying your winter, I know I am :D-->

Currently, I have good neighbors. We help each other out at times, loan tools and equipment etc... I am very lucky to be surrounded by good neighbors.

Whats snow :D-->

Here is something about me that many of you may not know about me... I am the great, great, great grandson of a famous american sculpter/artist, Cyrus E. Dallin Cyrus E. Dallin Musuem (I should also mention that I have no artistic talent at all)

Whenever I am looking for a local service (like carpet cleaning) I look in the yellow pages first. And, I tend to call the vendor that has an ad in there as well. I like it when the phone number is easy to read (large print). Also, Think about becoming a sponser for a sports team and/or sporting event. When I get a flyer for an upcoming racquetball tournament, the flyer has a few corporate logo's on it...

Has Stanly decided to "homestead" someplace? or Is he in a witness protection program?

I used to know morse code and could "copy code" at 15 WPM. This was back in 1981. Since then I have forgotten most of it :(--> I worked as a cook for a while... To this day there are some foods I will not eat. For example, liver. We used to get a whole liver that was frozen... After it was thawed, I skinned the liver... After it was skinned, I cut the liver up... After it was cut up, I breaded the liver... Then we re-froze the liver till it was ordered, then I would cook it. I sometimes wondered which was worse, the mess that was made from the "juices", the defferent smells from the skinning, to the cutting to the cooking, or the taste... To this day, liver will not enter into my house!

As someone once said... "A fool and there money are lucky to come together in the first place". What motivates the people who are suckered into these scams is: They believe that they should get something for nothing. My mother taught me that, If something sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.

A high of 69 degrees here in Southern Arizona... bbbbrrrrrrr ;)--> :D--> I love Arizona in the winter time :D-->

Let me add my welcome as well. :)-->

Many years ago when I was "in", everybody that was "in" had some type of twi bumber sticker on there car, Bible or even stuck to a widow of the place where they lived. Do people who are still "in" still display bumper stickers on there car or anywhere else?

I get more junk e-mail than e-mail from people that I know... If I don't know who sent something, I delete it.

I got this as an e-mail and thought it was funny :D--> -------------------------------------------------- Why athletes don't have real jobs New Orleans Saint RB George Rogers when asked about the upcoming season: "I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first." Golfer Jonathan Woodruff when asked how he got to be so steatopygic " I don't know but I like my women the same way"! And, upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the 'Skins say: "I'd run over my own mother to win the Super Bowl," Matt Millen of the Raiders said: "To win, I'd run over Joe's Mom, too." Torrin Polk, University of Houston receiver, on his coach, John Jenkins: "He treats us like men. He lets us wear earrings." Football commentator and former player Joe Theismann, 1996: "Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein." Senior basketball player at the University of Pittsburgh: "I'm going to graduate on time, no matter how long it takes." (now that is beautiful) Golfer Allyn Nock on winning lunch from his buddies "I got two words for you - Double Naco Burger" Bill Peterson, a Florida State football coach: "You guys line up alphabetically by height." And, "You guys pair up in groups of three, then line up in a circle." Boxing promoter Dan Duva on Mike Tyson hooking up again with promoter Don King: "Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter? He went to prison for three years, not Princeton." Aspiring golfer and athlete Alex Romero after hitting three balls out of bounds "I can still make par" Stu Grimson, Chicago Blackhawks left wing, explaining why he keeps a color photo of himself above his locker: "That's so when I forget how to spell my name, I can still find my clothes." Lou Duva, veteran boxing trainer, on the Spartan training regime of heavyweight Andrew Golota: "He's a guy who gets up at 6 o'clock in the morning regardless of what time it is." Chuck Nevitt, North Carolina State basketball player, explaining to Coach Jim Valvano why he appeared nervous at practice: "My sister's expecting a baby, and I don't know if I'm going to be an uncle or an aunt." (I wonder if his IQ ever hit room temperature in January) Racquetball player Paul Whitten on winning a doubles national championship with Clint "If you can't beat him, join him" Frank Layden, Utah Jazz president, on a former player: "I told him, 'Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?' He said, 'Coach, I don't know and I don't care.'" Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounting what he told a player who received four F's and one D: "Son, looks to me like you're spending too much time on one subject." Amarillo High School and Oiler coach Bum Phillips when asked by Bob Costas why he takes his wife on all the road trips, Phillips responded: "Because she is too ugly to kiss good-bye." Golfer Keith Gallew after hitting a sideways shank "I think I have been Syvetlanatized" asked what that meant he said "I'll have to hit the same club"

Congrats!!!! May you enjoy a lifetime of happiness together! :)-->

same here.

Linda, Got pictures ;)-->

hmmmmmmmm. I don't know what you know or don't know. If I knew what you know then then I could tell you what you don't know. And then there are things that I don't care if you know, and other things I may never want everybody to know. Ya know ;)-->

Raf, I have come to the conclusion that you are a pizza snob ;)--> Maybe you should go beyond your puritan ways and embrase the diversity that we shall call pineapple. :D--> :D--> :D--> :D-->

Raf, If you find yourself down here at some point in time... I will take you to Pizza Hut, and guess what kind of pizza I'll order :P-->

Raf, I will have dis-agree with you concerning pineapple... I love ham and pineapple on pizza :D--> hmmmm, we might be havivg a food fight soon ;)-->

Frankee, Let me add my welcome as well. You will notice that all of us have different perspectives on many different issues, and this is a good thing. You will also notice that we all have different intrests as well. For example, I play competitive racquetball and I am sponsored by Pro Kennex racquetball (not to bad for a guy over 40).

Pirate, You are correct about the BCS (they should just drop the "C") Case in point. A team that is ranked 21 (can you say Pittsburg) wins the big "E" conference automatically plays in one of the "major" bowl games The way the system is currently set up... Not all of the best teams will play the best teams. Depending on which poll you look at Utah finished ranked either #4 or #5 after an undefeated season and winning the Fiesta Bowl. The teams that ranked higher than Utah did not (and will not) play this years Utah team. There needs to be a better way to say at the end of the year who had the best team. The current system does not provide for that.

See me, The courage you and your daughter have shown is incredible. By your actions, other children are now safer.

It's too bad that they didn't play a better team like the University of Utah I'm sure that the BCS didn't want to embaress themselves too much... That is why that sacrificed the "Big E" (E is for easy I guess -->) champions of Pittisburg. The Utes sent the Panthers home with a huge loss of 35 - 7. The BCS bustin' Ute's finished the season 12-0. At the end of the Fiesta Bowl an announcer called The runnen Ute's "the little team that could" :D--> GO UTE'S!!! (Did I mention that my cousin plays on the Utah team :D-->)
