Whattya think??? I'm only leaving it up for a few days so check it out while ya can.

>> After he did his homework we had dinner. After dinner he got his bath and washed his hair. He was sitting at the dinningroom table still feeling a little sad when he yelled out to me. He jumped up and turned on the big outside lights. He screamed "look Dad, it's snowing". Sure enough the snow was coming down and the ground had a light cover. He then looked at me and said... "Dad, Kasim musy already be in Heaven because she made it snow for us. That just about did me in as a little tear started to form. My son noticed and said to me that everything was OK now because Kasim wanted us to know she made it to Heaven. After trying to comfort my son in this situation... in the end, it was he who comforted me. It's really strange how some things in life work...Huh...? KASIM... R.I.P << Well, that just about ripped me apart, daaaaaamn. And now a good friend of mine is battling herself on whether or not it's time to put her 12 year old cat down ...

>> Just wondering if any of you here with young kids have had to put a pet to sleep? I explained to my son that while he is in school tomorrow I as going to have to put our cat to sleep. I'm not sure if I handled it correctly or not. I though it only fair to let him know...so he could say his final farewell to to her. Although now I'm not sure that was a good idea. It's almost 10:30 PM here and about 10 minutes ago he cried himself to sleep. At 7 years old he hasn't had to deal with death in any for yet. He did tell me he wanted to help me dig the cat's grave after he got home from school. How has any of you dealt with a situation like this? I've had this cat for about 17 years... I'm OK with my decision right now, but I know when tomorrow gets here it isn't gonna be easy for me either. Strange to think a cat can become such an important part of someone's life. << Don't have any kids (that I know of ... rimshot) but I'd say you handled it about as well as possible. Let him dig the grave as it'll be as theraputic as possible for a 7 year old. Putting down a pet for a person at ANY age sucks when you're close to the pet. We've put down 3 dogs in the past 5 years (2 old age and 1 behaviour issues) and it was heartbreaking everytime.

Okay, this is long but WELLLLLL worth reading ... --------------------------------- ABOUT THE WRITER Dave Barry is a Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist for the Miami Herald. This is from newshound Dave Barry's colonoscopy journal: I called my friend Andy Sable, a gastroenterologist, to make an appointment for a colonoscopy. A few days later, in his office, Andy showed me a color diagram of the colon, a lengthy organ that appears to go all over the place, at one point passing briefly through Minneapolis . Then Andy explained the colonoscopy procedure to me in a thorough, reassuring and patient manner. I nodded thoughtfully, but I didn't really hear anything he said, because my brain was shrieking, quote, 'HE'S GOING TO STICK A TUBE 17,000 FEET UP YOUR BEHIND!' I left Andy's office with some written instructions, and a prescription for a product called 'MoviPrep,' which comes in a box large enough to hold a microwave oven. I will discuss MoviPrep in detail later; for now suffice it to say that we must never allow it to fall into the hands of America 's enemies. I spent the next several days productively sitting around being nervous. Then, on the day before my colonoscopy, I began my preparation. In accordance with my instructions, I didn't eat any solid food that day; all I had was chicken broth, which is basically water, only with less flavor. Then, in the evening, I took the MoviPrep. You mix two packets of powder together in a one-liter plastic jug, then you fill it with lukewarm water. (For those unfamiliar with the metric system, a liter is about 32 gallons.) Then you have to drink the whole jug. This takes about an hour, because MoviPrep tastes - and here I am being kind - like a mixture of goat spit and urinal cleanser, with just a hint of lemon. The instructions for MoviPrep, clearly written by somebody with a great sense of humor, state that after you drink it, 'a loose, watery bowel movement may result.' This is kind of like saying that after you jump off your roof, you may experience contact with the ground. MoviPrep is a nuclear laxative. I don't want to be too graphic, here, but: Have you ever seen a space-shuttle launch? This is pretty much the MoviPrep experience, with you as the shuttle. There are times when you wish the commode had a seat belt. You spend several hours pretty much confined to the bathroom, spurting violently. You eliminate everything. And then, when you figure you must be totally empty, you have to drink another liter of MoviPrep, at which point, as far as I can tell, your bowels travel into the future and start eliminating food that you have not even eaten yet. After an action-packed evening, I finally got to sleep. The next morning my wife drove me to the clinic. I was very nervous.. Not only was I worried about the procedure, but I had been experiencing occasional return bouts of MoviPrep spurtage. I was thinking, 'What if I spurt on Andy?' How do you apologize to a friend for something like that? Flowers would not be enough. At the clinic I had to sign many forms acknowledging that I understood and totally agreed with whatever the heck the forms said. Then they led me to a room full of other colonoscopy people, where I went inside a little curtained space and took off my clothes and put on one of those hospital garments designed by sadist perverts, the kind that, when you put it on, makes you feel even more naked than when you are actually naked. Then a nurse named Eddie put a little needle in a vein in my left hand. Ordinarily I would have fainted, but Eddie was very good, and I was already lying down. Eddie also told me that some people put vodka in their MoviPrep. At first I was ticked off that I hadn't thought of this is, but then I pondered what would happen if you got yourself too tipsy to make it to the bathroom, so you were staggering around in full Fire Hose Mode. You would have no choice but to burn your house. When everything was ready, Eddie wheeled me into the procedure room, where Andy was waiting with a nurse and an anesthesiologist. I did not see the 17,000-foot tube, but I knew Andy had it hidden around there somewhere. I was seriously nervous at this point. Andy had me roll over on my left side, and the anesthesiologist began hooking something up to the needle in my hand. There was music playing in the room, and I realized that the song was 'Dancing Queen' by ABBA. I remarked to Andy that, of all the songs that could be playing during this particular procedure, 'Dancing Queen' had to be the least appropriate. 'You want me to turn it up?' said Andy, from somewhere behind me. 'Ha ha,' I said. And then it was time, the moment I had been dreading for more than a decade. If you are squeamish, prepare yourself, because I am going to tell you, in explicit detail, exactly what it was like. I have no idea. Really. I slept through it. One moment, ABBA was yelling 'Dancing Queen, feel the beat of the tambourine,' and the next moment, I was back in the other room, waking up in a very mellow mood. Andy was looking down at me and asking me how I felt. I felt excellent. I felt even more excellent when Andy told me that It was all over, and that my colon had passed with flying colors. I have never been prouder of an internal organ. On the subject of Colonoscopies... Colonoscopies are no joke, but these comments during the exam were quite humorous..... A physician claimed that the following are actual comments made by his patients (predominately male) while he was performing their colonoscopies: 1. 'Take it easy, Doc. You're boldly going where no man has gone before! 2. 'Find Amelia Earhart yet?' 3. 'Can you hear me NOW?' 4. 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?' 5. 'You know, in Arkansas , we're now legally married.' 6. 'Any sign of the trapped miners, Chief?' 7. 'You put your left hand in, you take your left hand out...' 8. 'Hey! Now I know how a Muppet feels!' 9. 'If your hand doesn't fit, you must quit! 10. 'Hey Doc, let me know if you find my dignity.' 11. 'You used to be an executive at Enron, didn't you?' 12. 'God, now I know why I am not gay.' And the best one of all. 13. 'Could you write a note for my wife saying that my head is not up there?'

>> Did these guys have a second album out in 93?? I just got something called 'Loud & Ugly' from a band called Crash Alley. Says it came out independently in 1993 but has NO other info at all, aside from song titles. Haven't listened to it yet. Funny thing - I used to talk to Jason Phelps all the time when he was in a band called Frickin' A a couple years back. Hi mate, yeah that's the one: http://www.heavyharmonies.com/cgi-bin/band.cgi?BandNum=1936 I actually prefer the ballsier 2nd album. Nice Sven Gali/Skid Row flavoured hard rock disc with a couple of gems. << Actually I don't think it is ... look at the band member's names. None match up at all and while the 'Loud & Ugly', etc. band seemed to have some trouble keeping a steady lineup it seems to be the singer's baby, so to speak, which means Jason wouldn't have been in this band at all. Just listened to a bit of 'Loud & Ugly' though and yeah, seems like a pretty strong album.

>> California Red is a cheap wine that you can buy in the Swedish owned by state's stores. The wine is a product from CA USA. I've read that the guys always drank this cheap wine in the beginning of their career. I bought some a while ago, It tastes like SHIT hahaha. << Aha - mystery solv-ed. And yes, there is definitely a lot of crap that comes from California as far as alcohol (and people!) is concerned .....

>> I win! YES YOU DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! << If you look real hard maybe you can see her pot of gold .....

I check every now and again too and never find anyone in. I'll sit in there for a while sometimes and never have anyone else come in. Maybe I need to break down and take a shower

These are great

>> 'My kitty raised his back, went 'Fffff, Fffff, Fffff'... And, before he could say 'Fuck', the Rottweiler ate him!' << Oh my God, I'm laughing so hard I'm crying! I'm in a much better mood now

>> what a dissapointing tracklisting....... there seems to be quite a few demos missing..... maybe there will be another acs cd called "last call" after all. << That was 'Last Call.' After the first three tracks there was yet another live show tacked on.

There are a lot of great Finnish bands - none I can think of at the moment though! Someone I was working with for a while was obsessed with Finnish artists and she would constantly send me new bands to check out and I hafta admit, most of them were pretty damn good. I did hear a band today who I thought were fantasric and they turned out to be from ... Finland. It was an industrial band called Sinmaster. Had never heard of them before - and I guess they were around in the earlier part of the decade - but the track I heard blew me away.

You guys alllllllll suck! All these responses and not one answer to her name! And yep, it did suck when the "Video Bimbos" all lost their gigs. I was friends with a few of them (hey, ya tell a few chicks you're a movie director .... {ahem!}) and this girl in particular was a good friend of mine. She was in Van Halen's "Poundcake", Slaughter's "Up All Night" and Danzig's "Mother" videos amongst others.

>> I don't know....but I likey!!! << Damn dude, when I saw you had posted here I was thinking ... "Yes, we have our answer!!!" but noooooooo .................................... crap! LOL

Well, here's their out clause, so to speak: >> Your Prize Money Will Be Sent To You Via Certified Ceque which only the beneficiary is authorize to cash the prize money in any bank around the world or Via Bank to Bank telex transfer (account to account) depends on your choice. << That certified CEQUE probably isn't worth much, I'm afraid, Keith. I guess there's no early retirement for you!

LMFAO Good one Lennie. Daaaaaaamn, that would suck! ... This is old but still funnier than hell. And hey, it might be new to someone: 6 Reasons Not to Mess with Children. (1) A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal, its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven, I will ask Jonah.' The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?' The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him.' (2) A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.' The teacher paused and said, ' But no one knows what God looks like' Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, 'They will in a minute.' (3) A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to 'honour' thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?' Without missing a beat one little boy, the oldest of a family, answered, 'Thou shall not kill.' (4) The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. 'Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor'.' A small voice at the back of the room rang out, 'And there's the teacher , she's dead.' (5) A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, 'Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.' 'Yes,' the class said. 'Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position, the blood doesn't run into my feet?' A little fellow shouted, "'Cause your feet ain't empty.' (6) The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: 'Take only ONE. God is watching.' Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples.'
