My mom was born in Germany (to German parents - not a millitary thing), and immigrated here when she was 2. They learned English, but German was still spoke around the house, and, growing up, I had to learn it. I also took German in high school too. My Oma spends 6 months in Germany a year (late spr...

I drive a LOT, usually 1.5-2 tanks of gas a week, at about $60 per tank. The lovely wife and I were talking last night, I think it would be cheaper to get a small little 4 banger POS beater car to add to the mix. I'm thinking 1st or 2nd gen miata? *grin* I'm sure she's thinking 1980 VW Rabbit Diesel.

I'm allergic, they make me REAL sick REAL quick. Last time I was stung, about 3 years ago, I had driven all night from Indy to S. Carolina to pick up a MG I bought. I got nailed just outside Easley, about 20 minutes away from picking up the car, at about 8AM. He came in through a partially cracked w...

Does it have to be Buffett songs? I made a 4 CD BBBB set without using any Buffett tunes. There are a few songs he's recorded but none that he wrote. I don't have it in the office today so don't ask me to name the songs I used. What a great idea. Let us know what you have on it when you can. I brou...

I'm taking wellbutrin, and don't really stress over cravings now either. If nothing else, this thread was good for that... C...

Hey Chalks, any idea how long that construction at the top of the Keys will be going on? I'm headin down that way in about a month. It was there back in March, and is still there now, so I imagine it will be quite a while... From http://www.keysso.net/patrol_ops/traffic/road_closures_delays.htm Con...

I've never had them, just lucky I guess (or unlucky with 2 little kids in the house). My oldest, Teressa, has had them 3 times, and my sister has had them twice (as an adult both times). Reoccurances were at least a year apart on both occasions... I thought you were only supposed to get them 1 time?

I hear the ending is very Empire Strikes Backish. I'm not telling... It'll ruin the movie. I will say Elizabeth does kiss "Captain" Jack... oh, and is there anything after the credits like in the first one? You know, I forgot to stay after the credits... I saw it again last night with ano...

I'm not suprised that it was such a big turn out... They got my money opening day, along with the completely packed theatre full of people for the total sell out for all showings at our theatre in our medium sized town. I liked the movie, and think that it was nearly, but not quite, as good as the f...
