The other day I was looking through an add for a local supermarket (well, it is more like a European Wal-Mart) and saw an add for this: It has to be one of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long, long time. To me, however, it makes sense. The Swiss Army knives we all grew up

I just recently read an article on MSN about the various degrees that certian famous CEOs have, such as Trump, Oprah, Bush etc. It made me think, hmm, I wonder what interesting degrees lie out there on JU? SO...my question to all is: Where did you go to college, what degree did you get and what year? (Feel free to answer only that which you

Hey sis, I can understand your pain, I really, really, really want a puppy. But he is 700 euros...there is no way I can get him... However, your case is different! I say get it, but only if you won't experience months of buyers remose. Think about it, the one you have doesn't meet the requiments that a camcorder should, it's five years old and out dated. $500 is

One of the best articles I've read in a while! I loved the biblical references, that was great! I often think about my driving. I am not, by any means, an aggressive driver, but I tend to push the speed limit when I can and do some other minor law infractions...

I've always thought that the police were "public servants." In as much as that they are paid to serve and protect the general population. I've never felt that they are inapproachable. However, I have seen some abuse the power they had and try to intimidate people, but I've found, and I hope that it is true all over, that it is the minority. My wife has the complete opposite view; they are to be feared and avoided at all costs (especially the Itali

Great points. I think that you are right on. One of the things that I find really difficult is, like you, if my better half is having a bad day, it tends to rub off on me. Then we have two crabs instead of just one, which makes the day MUCH worse. Whereas, if I decide to be happy and joyous, then that tends to rub off on her, and the day ends up MUCH better. Not easy to do, but always worth it! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/JU/smiles/Smile.gif"

Wow. I’m not really surprised that a book of his would be "raunchy" but I guess a little disappointed (whether I should be or not). I have watched him on TV in the past and listened to a few of his routines. He can be hilarious! However, IMO there are limits, and it sounds like he has crossed them. I have laughed my head off at one of his jokes and the next second be ashamed that I even know his name. Thanks for the review! You gave me

Here are a few pics that I took in Scandicci (just outside of Florence, Italy). At one point it was much stronger in color, but by the time we found a safe place to pull over it was starting to fade. They were taken on Dec. 3. If you look closel

This is a very interesting topic. In Italy the woman's last name never changes. She gets married to Mr.Bello, all their children will be Huey, Duey and Luey Bello, but her last name will always be that of her father. She goes through her whole life (married or unmarried) legally with her father's last name. I'm not to hip on the hyphenation, it can get carried away. However, if a woman would like to keep her maiden name, I see nothing

I would have to say that my favorite sport to watch would be college football followed closely behind pro basketball. College football because it seems less comercialized than the NFL and the rivalries are great! Hook'em Horns!

I have been intertested in an iPod for sometime, but the cost has kept me away. Not just the cost of the iPod itself, but all the other cool stuff that I would HAVE to have if I got an iPOD. My wife and I bought a MP3 player from Creative called Muvo. It's 1.5 gigs and has playlists and stuff. It cost about $120. We have really enjoyed it in all our traveling in Eu

kingbee illegal in oklahoma to have an alligator snapper? I can't say if it is illegal to have an alligator snapper or not. Just that there are lots of rules and regs including the fact that you cannot take (hunt) them from the wild. Selling and buying might be different. <a href="http://www.

To be honest, I'm a Texans fan... (here's hoping for the heisman!) However, I would love for the Colts to go undefeated, that would be awesome! (I am praying that they don't sit Manning, he's on my FF team and I'm in the playoffs, doh!)
