So horrific and sad... :cry: But I do have to say, this is a warning for all who turn the volume on their ipods up way too loud. How could he not hear that plane? When I ride my bike the volume on my shuffle is low enough that I can still hear all the traffic around me. I am constantly amazed when I...

I think their flip flops are so cute, but I just can't wear them. My toes go right off the end, same with crocs and several other brands. I think they're all made for wide feet...and I have skinny feet so they fit me differently.

Sail on, Merlin. :( I had the pleasure of meeting Merlin my freshman year of college, not long after his daughter Kelly and I started school together.
