The Year Without a Santa Claus I could actually see them making a musicl of that one! I'm Mr.Green Christmas I'm Mr. Sun...

My favorite is 7 x 13 = 28. Hard to type: you've really got to see it, but I'll try: Division. Seven into 28. Well, seven doesn't go into two, so hold onto that two for a second. Seven into eight goes one time, with one left over. Now give that two back, put it next to the 1: seven into 21 goes three times. One, three: 13. Wanna try multiplication? Suuuure. Seven times three? 21. Seven times one? 7. 21 plus 7? 28. Okay, we'll add them. 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13, 13. Add the right numbers first: Three, six, nine, 12, 15, 18, 21. Now add the left numbers: 22, 23, 24, 25,26,27,28! Classic.

SNORT!

Dude, that was funny. :) Hey, I'm poking around the web looking for where and how this guy honors Christ. Can't seem to find it. Great page honoring that Wierwille guy, though.

ah, yes, we built this city. Thank you. NEXT!

Didn't they sing that song? What's it called again?

Next song: Who counts the money underneath the bar?

It is a song, thus it is a song lyric. And, rare for this forum, it is (unbeknownst to many) a showtune! One Night in Bangkok by Murray Head from the soundtrack of the musical Chess.

DWBH, That group pic... you look familiar.... can't quite place it... :)

"But better use it carefully Or it may change your life One night I said it to me girl And now me girl's my wife!"

I can actually hear that song in my head. Thriller, by Michael Jackson, with a little help from Vincent Price.

It's not a squirrel. It's Dale (as in Chip and Dale)

Amen.

Well, it's now officially expected to miss us. That is, it's highly unlikely this thing will provide Florida with any real rain.

What we need is a significant rain event. The way this system is passing us, it will only be a mildly significant wind event, which, aside from specatcular kite flying, makes it pretty useless for us.

Some major television "event" films are acceptable. For example, I'd exclude "Sarah Plain and Tall," but I'd include something like "Roots" or "The Winds of War." I once dated someone who was an extra in The Mirror Has Two Faces. Don't think she was in anything else though, so linking is kind of out of the question. Jeff Bridges Starman Karen Allen

Diana informs us she will be visiting Orlando the weekend after Thanksgiving. I'm making arrangements to head up there with Christine (my wife) at that time so we can spend time with her. It's odd, honestly, because science and experience tell me this is the last time I will see her looking like herself. This is one of the great challenges of life: appreciating today for what today is, even when you "know" that tomorrow will be so much worse. In all reality, I don't know how to handle it. How will she respond to tears, which are sure to be shed during her visit (other family will be there as well)? What would you do or say?

We're bracing as though the storm will hit us in South Florida, though forecasters as of this moment are not expecting it.

Why yes, yes it is.

The full results are in. I's dotted. T's crossed. They are now expressing no doubt whatsoever that my sister does have ALS. Lord I believe; help thou my unbelief.

"Well, that's very nice. I'm glad. Well here's... here's the point, Andie. I'm not particularly concerned with whether or not you like me, because I live to like you and... and I can't like you anymore. So... so when you're feeling real low and... and dirty, don't look to me to pump you back up 'cause... 'cause... 'cause maybe for the first time in your life I WON'T BE THERE!"

Yup. Ok... ummm.... "Blaine? His name is Blaine? That's a major appliance, that's not a name!"

Well, they're still checking and testing, crossing t's and dotting i's. But the second opinion evaluation has it at 95% certain that Diana does indeed have ALS. It's a lot to absorb. We're all out of tears. How do we make these remaining years "quality"? That, or a miracle, is all we have left. I refuse to rule out either.
