My minpin I had loved makeup........especially the dark colored stuff or anything that was shiny and made a really nice stain on the carpet. She also loved chocolate.....yes I know it's poisonous for dogs. She would do anything to get the stuff and almost died a couple times. When I was selling...

Yep i agree wholeheartedly. But isn't that any politician really?

I guess I am just lucky? I am 27, never had my tonsils removed and my wisdom teeth never developed. They are not even buds underneath the gums in xrays. :

Holy Crap!!! That Japanese crab is crazy looking!!! How big is that thing????

1998 Aurora? Same as mine? lol

i didn't see that! that is just silly......definitely not the worst ever........sheesh. to me these speeches are a lot of lip service anyway. very rarely do any politicians do what they promise before they get elected anyway. i think they go into it with best intentions, but we all know what...

Originally Posted by Jaymz I love that movie. I have it on DVD. i love the ending when cameron diaz ends up running out into the street going crazy.. she got what she wanted Anyway that ad is silly. Politics is silly, Do you know how much Obama would of been bashed by the NAACP, and all the...

I did security for a while after I got out of the military. I used to watch incomplete houses to make sure that people didn't dig the copper tubing out of the ground. It was the most boring work ever. But......no tubing ever got stolen on my watch!!

Some of the Navy do have great conditions. Heck, some of the Marines live pretty good depending on where they are.

This whole story reminds me of that movie Very Bad Things.......I don't know if anyone has seen it but it is almost unbelieveable that someone could get away with all these things and not get caught immediately. Amazing.

Originally Posted by stdreb27 I'm curious never done any research but what are military suicide numbers vs suicide numbers of non-military personel? Gosh I don't know where you would find that statistic. I was an MP when I was in. I was in Camp Pendleton for the majority of my contract. That...

I am sure you are right in many cases. The friend of mine who killed himself while he was guarding his gate should never have been in. He couldn't handle the ridicule from his higher ups (he was pretty out of shape and a little heavy) and he couldn't handle being away from his family. And he...

Well I think that it was a completely different type of war too. They were fighting for their families' lives from immediate and eminent threat. I was big supporter of 9/11 when it happened. I am no longer a supporter of our troops dying and being away from their families for Iraq to set up...
