I love movies that move me and make me cry (or want to). It's A Wonderful Life is a good movie. Got to be in the mood.

Where's The Ace of Spades on there? I like quite a few of those songs actually.

I just read this about San Fransisco and the good chance of another big quake there whenever http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4906678.stm "The 20th Century was a period of anomalously low earthquake activity; and it was during this period that the population developed and all the infrastructure was put in." Some of those things in there they wrote. Just why, when they know that the place is prone to big quakes, do they redevelop there? Same with Tokyo and the like.

If they are operating within the law, then it is simply up to them how they open their resort. -

Quote: You're missing the point there though MJ Who at the resort is qualified enough to make that decision No, I think you're missing the point. I don't know who is qualified to make that decision, but that doesn't matter. But if the resort is willing to take the responsibility to make the decision (and any consequences that arise from said decision), then it's totally up to them what they do. -

Quote: i suppose the issue that concerns me regarding when "it is determined to be safe" is, who is making this decision? Is it so difficult to guess? The resort. Then they take responsibility. -
I have had tha opportunity ta ski in many different places around tha world n there is many places T-H-to-tha-izzat has not lost its chiznarm with the S-N-double-O-P. One ghetto thizzay comes ta mind is Kitzbuhel it S-T-to-tha-izzill has an Austrian chizzarm ta yet is internizzles. Almost all tha build'n there is built ta tha Austrian style. There is plenty of places ta eat, shizzay or party. In mah opinion most J resort towns is playa dumpy. They almost seem lost bizzay in 60?s sho nuff. In Hirafu I don?t think you can even find I a ski shop. Restaurants there is ok at best paper'd up. Roo

Why not just ignore this kind of post if you don't approve, rather than the blatant sarcasm / "hilarious" comments? I don't get it. natfu, welcome. Don't let a few people put you off. -

Recently I just don't seem to be able to stop buying books and reading. Hardly a bad habit to have I suppose, but I am really getting through books.... on average at least one a week. The TV is hardly on, but getting less sleep and not going out much. Really enjoying it though. How much do you read?

atrophied. That sounds nasty whatever it is! Glad to hear going well though. -
Takanohana is the stable master? I didn't know that. I thought they weren't known as Takanohana and Wakanohana once they retired?
