FOXNews.com On The Scene

ON PCH

dsc_0581.jpgBoy did 2:00am come early as I sit here along a vacated Pacific Coast Highway listening to the high surf crash into the shore a few yards away. Too bad I can’t see it, since the homes line one side of the highway and the Santa Monica Mountains the other side.

It seems just yesterday we were here at this same location, Carbon Canyon, chasing the fires and flames as they raced across Malibu. Now those burned areas haven’t even gotten the chance to renew with vegetation, instead the hillsides are barren, except for some which have been lined with plastic tarps and sandbags, the best defense really for many of these homeowners.

At this point still no major rain since yesterday, but as the sun rises we can see the clouds and storm to our west. Will it hammer us again, or will it break up. Time of course will tell.


Besides covering the Malibu fires a few months back, I have been in this exact location once before, about 14 years ago. We had just played a three game series in San Francisco against USF and on the way back from the airport late on a Saturday night, our team bus broke down. We sat in this same place in the middle of the night wondering when we’d get a ride back to campus and eventually some sleep. If you had told me I would be here at Carbon Canyon a few years later, I would have thought you were crazy.

As the sun comes up, it reveals a gray Malibu. The strets and hills are drenched, but in tact thankfully. People who live along the shore have periodically come out of their homes, peering at the massive hills that back down to the coast in this part of the country. Unlike Northern California where the mountains are jagged, rocky and mostly stable along the coast, here in the south, the sandy hills that line the Pacific have historically slid a moved. I equate it to some times when I was a kid and had to fill up the new dirt moats I had built around fruit trees. As the water got higher, the dirt would slide, there was nothing holding it in place.

Just above our location, the hillside has little specks of green, just a few very infant weeds. The home above us, only about 200 feet away, is enveloped in black plastic. They’ve already lost some of their yard and it is clear they hope the black plastic and sandbags strung down the hill with rope, will keep things stable and in place.

Amy in Sweden..and those with link troubles. Just a FYI…

Many times Adam’s blog is put on “moderated”…sort of like “on hold”…until someone verifies that the links are not spam or inappropriate.
It’ll happen when you see him (or don’t see him) with extended absences.
When one doesn’t show up, it will, when either Adam passes it through or the guys sitting at Fox.
Patience is definilty a virtue here ;-)

Oh ya…Hi all!

 
Comment by Karen T

John.. Bush gave 2 billion dollars to Katrina victims plus they had another 2 billion + sent to them from other resources. That whole Katrina event failed at State level from the moment it happened. With all that money you would think that the Katrina victims would be back on track. What a sad story.

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

Adam doesn’t have time, I bet, to read all the posts- and I know he skims right over me– so as my thankless job as his Personal Assistant, I read all the posts– and I have hired Jen S. to be my personal assistant as Adam pays more attention to her- so I have to go through Jen to get Adam to pay heed — :D :D

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

Jennifer-

Karen had even more or less in your question about getting so side tracked about the main thread if Adam would be upset, she stated to you about how she tries to stick to the thread or the day’s news– and she was posting away about Bush— :D

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

Greg had Dr. Baden on last night– asking Dr. Baden about Carlos and if there was an autopsy and alcohol was to be found, could he be guilty- of taunting— and what was his opinion– Dr. Baden concluded with the zoo being at fault because of the height of the wall- He mentioned how he saw a video of a tiger jumping over an elephant– that would have been a cool video to see-wonder where he saw it–

talk about taunting– you know how some of those more elaborate dinner parties, people have their names next to their plates because the host/hostess coordinates the sitting as to how people get along- interests-etc– well- on the Presidential Republican Forum- the seating at the table was- McCain- Romney- Huckabee- Thompson- and Gulliani—- Hello– it is so obvious Mitt and Huckabee can not stand each other– and they seat them next to each other— this is a clear and convincing example of how taunting gets started– :D

 
Comment by Jennifer in LA

Susan,

I did miss Kraens post from yesterday.

Yes with Bhuttos recent assasination and now our crazy Ghadan with his tape, it is even more worrisome.

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

Karen–

I have no clue– when I log on to Adam– I go the long way- I enter Greta’s and I click on Adam– but while I am in there, I usually check out some of her stuff- she didn’t say why- it is a week-end trip– how does one get over there and back so fast?

I forgot to post for those who have empathy for the brat, Britney, Dr. Phil paid her a visit– I bet she is saved now- :D what a joke! Maybe if she had served some jail time for all her BS, she might think about having some respect for the law– I could care less about her personal BS, it is her driving—

Did anyone watch Red Eye last night? I hardly ever watch Greg- and I was just ready to turn off the television and once I started listening to his Greg-alogue, I ended watching the whole thing– he is so funny– Anyone who makes fun of Donald Trump is my bud!
I love it when Greg raises his eyebrow–

Boy– we have rain today— not bad– just ongoing–

 
Comment by John

Jennifer …………I see what you’re saying, but remember the Katrina fiasco and the way he, and the rest of the government botched that……….mainly because no one from the administration, or federal government went there in the immediate days after the storm to see first hand on what the situation really was. Sometimes the only way you can convince, not only others – but yourself as well, as to what the situation is, is to go at it hands on. You’ve probably heard the saying, “good leaders lead by example”. I think that is the case here. He keeps claiming that we’re winning the war on terrorism….and we (the U.S) are behind our allies in the middle east, etc. I think by him going over there he is trying to convince, not only Americans, but the people of the middle east that this is not just political rhetoric.
Besides, should something happen to him………we’ve always got “Uncle Dick” to lead us……lol

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

Adam Gadahn– the american- 29- wanted for treason— What a frigging nut!

 
Comment by Karen T

Why is Greta going to the Middle East again?

 
Comment by Karen T

Jennifer LA… I’m very concerned, especially in his last year of office and Bhuttos recent assasination. I know one has nothing to do with the other but the point is they seem to have no problem killing prominent figures. Whether you like Bush or not, he’s still America’s President. His assasination would be a huge vistory for Al Quida. The guy that made that video was the one from California that joined Al Quida. Apparently he’s the head of that chapter. One would think that he needs to make a name for himself and this would be one way of doing it.

I’m sure Bush gets threatened a lot. But this one just doesn’t feel right. Possibly because the name Al Quida is attached to the threat.

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

spelling errors up above- sorry- typos!

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

I just saw Greta is going to the Middle East this week-end–

Adam– you are missig the future gadgets debate in Vegas– you should be leading this one-

Jennifer– you must have overlooked Karen’ post from yesterday– she was freaking out about Bush going to Israel– especially with the Al Qaeds- the crazy American who was a focus yesterday on the Fox News– Avi has been bugging Adam for the last two weeks for first row tickets to see Bush :D After Bhutto’s death, I would be one nervous Bush—

Amy- disabled? I care for one– Rod mentioned in a post he was too- and I care for one– I know I read somewhere Adam wrote an article about the disabled– I would sure like to see it- Adam?

Rod– feel free to send me as many pictures as you like— If you don’t mind, sometimes when I create a card for someone’s birthday, if you have any cool nature or scenic pictures, I would like to use them- giving you credit– of course— with your permission–

Avi– did you see I moved your Bush link over to this thread– the one which talks about the security?

Max– thanks for the calculations on the hour difference– you are the best! I can understand your parents not wanting to eat and watch gruesome stuff– :D

 
Comment by Karen T

Avi… I saw that and I wonder what was in those boxes?!? I’m still concerned about Bush going over to Israel on Wednesday.

 
Comment by Jennifer in LA

Avi,
I think you are so right. The only people I really trust to keep the President safe is Israel.

I can not even imagine what it is like to live in your country being under constant threat all the time. I admire the Israeli people so very much.

John, can’t he make decisions here? Or can’t those world leaders come here? Do you think the benfits of him going to them outweigh the risk?

I really do not want to make a human sacrifice of our President just so the terrorists don’t “win”.
(I hope the way I phrased that makes sense).

 
Comment by John

Jennifer…concern? Yes………..but a president can’t go on hiding inside the safety of his own “home” and be productive in world decision makings at the same time. Besides, if you fear the terrorists………the terrorists have won. IMHO

 
Comment by Avi

Jen trust me i live in Israel

security around here is tight even when Bush isnt here….. soo i cant even imagine how much security there will be with him here….

no one will be able to get close to him or near him …… If theres any worries its not jerusalem its the other capitals he will be going to …

 
Comment by Jennifer in LA

Am I the only one concerned about the President heading to Jerusalem and other destinations?

I have no idea how they can be sure of his safety.

Seems foolhardy at the very least.

 
Comment by Avi

WOW

AMERICAN WAR SHIPS ALMOST SHOT AT IRANIAN GUN BOATS IN INTL WATERS …. UH OH! WAR MIGHT HAD RESULTED IF THERE WAS A SHOOT OUT !!!!!! yikes

FOX HOME PAGE!

 
Comment by Max

Amy: well it’s 1pm here. I’m in England. But i woke at 3am and couldn’t get back to sleep.

So i didn’t see it until well after you posted it, and it seems the first try didn’t show up.

i used to love forensic detective when i was like 7 or 8, (not that long ago) but my parents banned me from watching it as it was on when they wanted to eat. I was happy to eat while watching it, so i don’t know why they complained ;)

 
Comment by Amy in Sweden

So you saw them posting over and over again, when I said they weren’t posting? That is strange why I couldn’t see them. I could see the small posts posting but not those. I even left the site and came back, and tried to refresh several times to see if they might show up, but Nooooo. lol

Oh well, its water under the bridge now. lol

At least I don’t think anyone will miss it! hahaha

Oh and I thought after I mentioned that I hoped someone appreciated what I posted. I got to thinking that sounded pretty rude, and not what I intended. I just meant I hope that someone was able to find it useful for them.

Max it seems like you are up as much as I am. lol

Thanks for explaining the time differences. I was shocked when I found that Texas was only 6 hours different. To me I feel like Texas is West. Well southwest. But apparently not west enough.

I am originally from Indiana. And for the longest time we didn’t use daylight savings time. Only in the past few years have they started it. So since we never changed, I never thought much about what other places were doing.

Oh and I am with you guys about watching those forensic type shows. FBI archives, Forensic Detectives, I even LOVE those trauma shows that they used to have on Discovery Channel, that shows real life cases in ER’s. I call those shows Blood and Guts. I guess I am a bit morbid. Altho, lately I have been having a hard time watching some of the CSI and SVU shows myself. Also that show called Most Evil, about serial killers. So I have been avoiding some of the more gruesome shows.

I love the hospital and ER type shows because I always wanted to go into medicine, and always dreamed of being a Paramedic. Now I am too old and disabled to pursue it, so the shows are the closest I can get. Altho, I will still stop at an accident site like I have many of times, to help victims if needed.

That story about the guy in Texas who cooked his girl friends body parts was just disgusting. I cannot believe that someone could do such a thing.

Oh and that 12 year old who took a bat to the toddler just because she was crying while he was trying to watch TV was insane! What is happening to our children these days?

 
Comment by Max

Amy: Sweden is UTC+1. Arizona is -7, making it a time difference of 8 hours. Remember Arizona is in the west.
Texas is mainly -6, with a small part of the very west being -7. So that would be a 7 hour difference mainly.

And your post was good the first time, but by the 4th time it’d started to get dull :-P

 
Comment by Amy in Sweden

LOL I come back here today and see that ALL of the attempts at posting that tutorial worked! I wonder why they would not show up last night. I don’t even think that Rod saw them. At least he never hinted on to me that I was duplicating, triplicating, etc…my posts.

Sorry for all of the posts with the same thing.

OR I would say that I meant to do it on purpose, and say that I posted it more than once just in case you wanted to read it more than once! hehehe But I have a feeling no one would believe me. lol

Susan I believe it is a 6 hour difference. I know it is from Texas anyway. Not sure about Arizona. Maybe 7?

 
Comment by Rod Venger

Terri,

I have to be careful what I watch.as like your husband, stuff gets incorporated into my dreams. You’d be surprised at how many oddball people have operated on my face over the years…Freddie Mercury, John Lennon, Charles Manson…the list gets stranger the more I think about it. I was even hunted down and killed by paratroopers…shot in the head with a shotgun…but not before one removed my face with a knife. So I’ve had to tone down what I watch on TV. -Rod-

 
Comment by Rod Venger

Glad you liked the pics, Susan. I have many, many more. Plants, flowers, hummingbirds, goldfinches, guns, planes, lizards…cats…whatever catches my eye :)

It’s raining again! Mondays I’m supposed to work for an hour or two at a 90-something year-old neighbor’s house. I do some light gardening for her once a week if I feel up to it but it’s going to be way too wet for that tomorrow. I guess I’ll go to the store in the morning and just hang out here for the afternoon. -Rod-

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

Terri–

You and I watch the same shows– I love forensic files– I think it is fascinating how science has progressed and now these cold cases are being solved with all the new DNA – they just reopened the Levy case too- But I love Monk and Psych– these are my entertainment shows– Bugs Bunny is cool-

Amy Hans-son– you get an A for persistence– and now you tell me there is another way to do my archaic way of ñ– Glad to see you back– I had wondered where you had gone– I even asked my calculator, Max, to tell me the difference between Sweden’s and Az’s time–

Rod– left you a few messages- love the pics– they are are awesome– The dinner story u just told– how disgusting– on my!

looks like we are all pooped out– as Adam probably is too–

as Jen said– will see what you updates you put up for us– thanks for all you do for us-bloggers–

good night–

 
Comment by Terri ~ Las Vegas

Yes, my husband is always yipping at me to quit watching that stuff… and the news…
he hates me watching the news….

he especially hates it when I’m watching Forensic Files when he’s sleeping *giggling* … he said he starts to incorporate it in his dreams…
Forensic Files is soo fascinating to me, though.

he wants me to listen to Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck on podcasts instead.

You guys are right.

 
Comment by Rod Venger

Max: Maybe so.

Terry, I’ve only watched Catch a Predator once and that was once too many. I can’t watch Law and Order: Special Victims Unit either. It’s all so demented. That people can watch that stuff, even if the good guys do win, disturbs me. It seems that our entertainment appetites get more and more bizarre. There’s something wrong with us as a society. Sick. -Rod-

 
Comment by Terri ~ Las Vegas

I don’t know.. but it’s sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SICK SICK SICK

I was watching to Catch a Predator all night the other night…. you know, with Chris Hansen??

and that freaks me all out… so shocking how many of these guys had kids of their own…
one even brought their 5 yr old with him… one one a prominent doctor… one was engaged to a doctor…

then that freak that murdered that poor hiker in GA…

it’s freaking me out…. too many weirdo’s…

I do watch too much Forensic Files, Investigative Reports… and the news…

I need to go back to cartoons.

Hi Jen. Bye Jen.

Terry, that’s no joke. What’s gotten into people?

hope you are doing well..it looks like everyone entertained themselves here for awhile.
Will check for updates from you tomorrow. ;) cheers

Killed and grilled…

TYLER, Texas — A man killed his girlfriend, then filleted and cooked parts of her body before calling police to tell them what he was doing, authorities said Sunday.

Comment by Amy in Sweden

Hmm the post, posted with the coding and link to the image but I don’t see the image showing on my side. At least I can’t see it. I love challenges like this, but now I am done. This one wore me out! I am going to bed now! It is going on 5am here, and I have to get up in 4 hours! lol

Back to our regularly scheduled program! hehehe

 
Comment by Amy in Sweden

Now it makes me wonder if that html coding would have worked, since it was the other link that was the problem. Let me see if I can post it now.

Language Indicator

 
Comment by Amy in Sweden

FINALLY! That was it Rod. I had to take that http out of the windows link.

I hope someone appreciates and can use that tutorial! lol It took me long enough to post it! Almost an hour! sheesh!

I sure hope that the people in Nevada can figure out how to get that frozen water drained away. Altho, I guess it wouldn’t matter too much since their homes are most likely unlivable anyway due to the water damage.

Did they say if there was a count on how many ppl have been displaced from all of this flooding and mud sliding and such? It’s hard to imagine what ppl do in situations like this. Where to go, where to live, and how to start over.

I think she can also use her laptop’s top-row numbers for characters by turning her Num Lock key on and then using whatever key combo she needs to use. -Rod-

 
Comment by Amy in Sweden

Maybe the prob is my image is a jpg. I will try something else. Adding a space to the link so it won’t be a clickable link, u’d have to copy and paste it and take out the space if u need to see the image. Boy all this work to figure out why it won’t post. lol It’s hardly worth it. lol

Jennifer, if you want to get the Spanish letters or any other special letters of other languages, since you don’t have the numeric keypad on the side for using the ALT + number to get the letters like Susan was showing u, you can also do it like this.

(The html coding didn’t not work to show this image, so here’s link to see the language indicator. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f112/Skittlespc/Tutorials/235725. jpg

You can switch between different languages by pressing the left Alt + Shift keys or the right Alt + Shift keys.

*********************************

You can select the different layout to work on different windows you might have open at the same time, when multi-tasking.

For instance, you have two screens open in IE.

Click on one window and change the settings to be in one language.
Click the other window, and change the setting to the other language.

You can now type in each window in the language keyboard layout you specified, without constantly changing the layout.

Same goes for the messengers, you can select which language for each individual message window.

I guess I really digressed there, but the question was asked, I think. hehehe So I thought I would show you how to do it.

 
Comment by Rod Venger

If you’re trying to post a link, try posting it without the http:. Sometimes the blog rejects links. Sometimes not!

I agree with you on Britney and the lethal injection bit. Justice should not be thwarted because ’some’ brutal killers might feel a little pain. That’s nothing compared to what they’ve inflicted on others. -Rod-

 
Comment by Amy in Sweden

Attempting to post this again. It wasn’t the coding that was the problem.

As about Tom Cruise that you guys were talking about earlier. I think he’s a nut! lol Does anyone know if he ever actually ATE the placenta of the baby, like he said he was going to do?

Oh and the whole Britney thing is a mess! That girl needs help! Something!

I don’t get the whole lethal injection thing. They worry that the first part won’t work, to anesthetize the prisoner and they will feel the pain from the last part of the three stages? That is no different than going thru an operation, in fear that you might be one of those rare ppl who are actually “awake” in some way and can feel everything. I guess its a risk, but not a very high one.

I would if I knew which word it WAS that is not allowing me to post! I wish they would let you know which word or phrasing is causing the problems. I think it might be the coding. I am trying to show a tiny image using the html coding that it says you can use at the bottom of this screen. I’ll remove it and just give the link to the image, and see if that works.

Hi guys! Its been a long time since I posted. Well not too long, just since the tiger posts.

Hmmm I posted more, but it will not post. There must be a word in my post that is not allowed, or is close to a bad word. I will have to figure it out.

I here. I can’t promise to be much fun tonight.

I just heard on the news that winds around Colorado Springs were as high as 85 today, blowing over trucks on (I presume) I-25 and blowing the windows out of parked cars. I’d guess that they’ll be hit by snow soon enough. -Rod-

Jen S–

I was getting to forget my American language– as you know now- I can speak Hebrew- German- and Polish— and slang– dissing–

Last load of laundry— almost eight hours later— ugh—-

Patty– I asked Adam once if he wore contacts- did I get an answer? No!!!!!!!!

Jen S– Poor Jennifer– she is going to have to struggle with the POD– I think I ruined it for her– actually it is your fault- you drank the wine!! :D

Karen– if it were me, I would be one nervous person– these people are not to be ignored- to say the least— I would not go– yes– satellite conference- whatever– Laura and his daughters need him more than I do as for President– you know what I mean :?:

 
Comment by Patty

Comment by Patty

DNA student.(ha ha)…maybe Adam has different color contacts???!!! ;-)

 
Comment by Jen S

OH dear—
I’m saying chara and Susan is saying y’all.

Patty – I left comments on your slide and rated you at 5 stars. I want to live in Oz.

 
Comment by Karen T

I don’t know Susan… Al Quida making a direct threat to our President. Can’t Bush just pick up the phone and call the person he needs to speak to? Maybe have a video conference, a telegram, anything but go there?

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

whatever this means- it was interesting

AVI-

FOX NEWS EXTRA are the reports that go out over the satellite to all of the Fox Affiliates in the country. The reports are called packages. I see em when I an overseas for Fox.

Jennifer–
I tried it with the numbers above the alphabet and it does not work– you need the numbers on the right– so nope– you are not spinning your wheels–

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

Karen–

earlier they showed this nut case tearing up his passport– he must be smoking that crack Tiamat talked about- :D Notice how I won’t refer nut case by his name–

 
Comment by Jennifer in ATL

I’m on a laptop….I don’t have numbers on the side. I can’t imagine that’s an issue, though. I’m sure it’s operator error.

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

Karen T– that guy has the same name as Adam– he is a Adam– that got me upset— although Adam here uses his middle name– thanks to Jennifer, we were able to read About Adam—

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

hold the alt- and use the numbers on the number side-

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

ñ – alt and 164 at the same time– you can do á (alt- 160) í (alt 161) ó (alt 162) ú (alt 163) —

my hermano sent me the link to this–

 
 
 
Comment by Jennifer in ATL

nope. still didn’t work. I’m sitting here cracking myself up. I’m such a weirdo

 
 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

Jennifer– no typing of N– hold alt and type the 164 at the same time– try it–

Patty– I left you comments awhile back on your slide shows– we sure have become critter people-

 
Comment by Karen T

Bush is supposed to be going to the Middle East (Israel) on Wednesday. That guy from America that joined AlQuida released a video that says he wants to welcome our President with bombs. This can’t be good. I don’t like this at all.

Avi… you’d better stay far away from there!

 
Comment by Patty

Susan…it doesnt look like New York Health dept has any news releases for viral. But that doesnt mean anything either.

Comment by Jennifer in ATL

nope. i didn’t do it right.

 
Comment by Jennifer in ATL

Susan…

That is so cool….about your being a translator. Nice.

And I’m going to try the n thing.

I don’t think I did it right. do I type the N…then the Alt 164 or do I type espa Alt164 ol?

Gosh, that sounds dorky.

Espanol

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

Patty–

I just copied the link and sent it to Earl– he is much more affected by it because he still hangs out with Raul- her brother– they make it a point to see each other twice a year– so thank you—

The sun just took a peek from out of the clouds– my living room went from dark to lit up like a firefly- :D

Back to folding clothes—
(Jennifer– I did get chile rellenos and I feel like how you felt a couple hours ago– ugh!)

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

Jennifer—

As long as you try– I could correct what you wrote– but I don’t want you to think I am being a braggart– but if you ever want to do ñ for años, español, press the alt key down and type 164 while alt is down–

I had the honor to translate an article some attorney wrote in Venezuela where she insulted Fox, Adam, and anyone affiliated with Fox News– it was en español– and I translated it– Adam posted it but he already knew what the article was about– sometimes I get odd jobs where I get paid to translate– usually by friends and by mouth– my big one was the consensus for the Commonwealth of Virginia for the school district– I had my dad’s friend in Panama help me– as he is much more versed in the more sophisticated terminology– (and I also have done translation for the Justice Court here in Surprise- Judge Delaney– he is a very cool guy- he only works there part-time) — Ken is allowed to sit in the court room- as I can’t leave him alone-

And thanks– viral outbreak were the words I was looking for- I am kind of numb about Patricia’s death– I will check the internet in a couple days to see if this viral outbreak is mentioned-

xxxxxxx

 
Comment by Jen S

I see Housley has been in the House here…good thing you all didn’t catch chara for all the chara going on here.

Susan- so sorry to hear about your friend. :(

Patty I’ll go check for your on the road comment.

 
Comment by Karen T

Haven’t heard about a virus Susan, but there was the case of the woman that has TB and flew from India to the states, ended up in a California hospital with an advanced case. 40 people that sat close to her are being searched for. Reports are saying (last week) that this problem could connect with 19 other states because Chicago was just a stop-over. I’m not sure of the symptoms of TB, I think high fever is one.

 
Comment by Patty

Susan..i wonder if it was MRSA
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/ar_mrsa_ca_public.html
lots of talk around here about it

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

I bet Adam is dragging a** right now– I am tired from doing laundry for 7 1/2 hours—

I feel for you Adam :( :( And I am not saying this to kiss up to you— I honestly feel for you—
and your buddies–

 
Comment by Jennifer in ATL

Susan~ That is so sad. I hadn’t heard of any viral outbreaks, but if it becomes more serious, I’m sure we will.

Yo hablo espanol–un poco. Aprendo en el colegio muchos hace anos.

No mucho recuerdo.

(I’m sitting here looking up some words I can’t remember…duh) I took Espanol for seis anos in junior high and high school. I should remember more than I do, but because I took so much in HS, I was exempt in college. I should have kept it up. But I was stupid.

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

Adam–

did you stop for guacamole? you know how to pronounce it–

Tiamat— el habla español :D

 
Comment by Susan- Phx- AZ

Tiamat– and Patty- and Karen T- actually everyone– for this is news and maybe someone has heard about this–

Speaking of Everett, my darling brother, Earl called me to tell me a good friend of ours, sister, died in New York City– from a virus– Patricia, a teacher, went to New York City on December 28th to celebrate her birthday- 50- and on the 31st she was admitted into the hospital— where she was told she had pneumonia– her all her vitals started to shut down- and she died this morning– According to Earl, more people have been admitted with the same symptoms- and it is a virus—- does anyone have a clue?

I just looked it up– and birds are dropping–

She gave me my first real to have dog for me— I didn’t hang out with her- I was a tomboy so I hung out with her brother, my brother, and their friends—

Earl said she rode the helicopter there while there– she was having a blast—- :(

 
Comment by Tiamat

Yeah, I’d love to not have the local commercials inserted by Comcast Cable at :20 and :50 … as they jack up the sound a LOT … Apparently, they want to wake the dead FNC viewers … The commercials suck like MSNBC / CNN … LOL

 
Comment by Patty

Avi..what was your myspace link? would you post again so i dont have to go back wading through the posts ;-)

 
Comment by Patty

Adam…
when you work the weekend like you have this weekend, do then in turn get a few days off during the week?
or is it just “wait till next weekend” and hope there is no breaking news?

Im sure your co-workers are awesome (i know mine are like brothers), but its also nice to have “me time”!!
(in other words, i sure as the heck am not bringing them home with me! *L*)

 
Comment by Avi

it gets boring after awhile………… i want to see the commericals

 
Comment by Tiamat

Changing subjects …

I’m really torqued off that they cancelled the Dakar Rally …

One race that I was really looking forward to … cause it kicks off the racing season … and the sanctioning body pulled the plug at the 23rd hour because of threats by those nimrods named Al-Qaeida in islamic Africa …

It totally screwed over some Americans … such as SoCal’s Robby Gordon … with Team Dakar USA …

 
Comment by Patty

no commercials??…wow, that would be heaven! *L*
specially in election year and 1/2!

 
Comment by Avi

Comment by Max

Puyallup: poo y’all up?

 
Comment by Tiamat

Susan – Way too funny!! Now, Adam’s gonna wind up running to the store for guamole and chips … cause we’ve got him sooo hungry … LOL

Now, you can try to phonetically spell / pronounce “Geoduck” and “Sequim” and “Puyallup” … LOL

 
Comment by Max

I dunno, our cabel company stopped providing all news corp channels. I have to watch fox news in the clips on the website.

How far have you gotten? 100 years ago, a lot of jews started to move to Palestine, and buy lots of land, local leaders were losing their power, so got local people to attack the Jews, but the british army put down the rebelions. During World War 2 Hitler wanted to take advantage of the tension to try and cause parts of the British army to have to go Palestine to deal with the rebels, and to get more Jews killed.
