we have a 7 week old golden retriever named Vega...i have not even met her yet, I will on Saturday!

This is weird!! Just give her a nudge with your mouse when she gets stuck. http://www.bleacheatingfreaks.com/translate.php?page=762

Talking Heads: Stop Making Sense. David Byrne was a an amazing psychopath in the 80's. The Band: The Last Waltz. Martin Scorcese makes a heckuva music DVD there!

yeah. just bought an area near where I grew up.

i think it's use shows the speaker's ignorance. so, i guess i don't care either way. they can continue to use it. i don't feel threatened. they're not usually that bright.

Gipsy Kings the last day or two. Always fun!

VINCENT ATMICUS...a group of Japanese cats...pretty amazing stuff!!

Politicians everywhere make for good targets...none can please everyone...just the majorities I suppose.

seriously though....i used to use BRITA in college. i have no idea if it cleaned up the water or not, but it tasted pretty good.

i "heart" bottled water. must drink 5 bottles a day.

Back home there's a hair salon....Curl-Up and Dye. A restaurant....Thai-Me-Up-Noodles.

solid point Yama! I do think there is a difference between arrogance and believing oneself to be a "hero" though. A lot of these guys are just kids and i think that lends to the tough guy attitude just as much as anything else.

by troll...do you mean that b/c I don't spend my entire day (like you) reading online chats and that I only respond to things that interest me that for some reason i shouldn't respond at all??? Sorry, sometimes I actually have better things to do. Yama...I guess I would have simply said thank you to those soldiers and perhaps bought them a drink.

My apologies.

>F*ck your stupid soldiers that think they are heros. Soldiers do not think of themselves as heros. They simply do their job! You're a coward who posts his thoughts about what is going on in the real world on a phuckin website coddled by friends sharing the same feelings and points of view. How cute! You should be ashamed of yourself claiming that soldiers are not heros? Your anger with the foreign policy of those in Washington so naively translates to mocking soldiers. Your "anger" is precious, but your ignorance is ugly.

I hear Hyde Park will be dry. Is this true?

I think most U.S. states also prohibit abortion in the 3rd trimester (6 months/24 weeks), except for the health or safety of the mother. Don't quote me on that though...I just think I remember that.

that's crazy....we used to get suspended, sent home, for wearing shorts! I guess the "problem," as we gaijin see it, is a bit more of a cultural distinction. Obviously the parents are OK with it....err....at least the fathers riding the subways are. And I guess that is all that matters so long as they get to the office with a big dirty smile on their mugs.

and Pennsylvania Plums!

i used to work on a strawberry and peach farm as a kid...$2.00/hr...used to come home with hands stained red. Farmer Jon never seemed to care though, I think he liked our company and the old ladies who came to pick loved for us to carry their freshies to their cars. and there is nothin like a freshly picked peach...I remember my mouth watering for like 10 minutes after eating one.

at the Nagoya immi office, there's a stamp guy set up shop right in the elevator lobby! pretty sweet actually...yet of course, he runs different hours than the immi windows.

ns. on purpose? i can't buy that, but, if it's true...maybe I won't feel so bad the next time I crack up at the girl stumbling all over herself.

and all this time I thought the bunched up socks were meant to hide the deformity that is pingeon syndrome.
