    Plan to Deploy Guard at Border Worries Mexico

    My buddy at work has the right idea on how to make this work. Keep in mind we work in a government installation on an Army post and the current proposal is not a good fix for the problem. It just means another indefinite deployment without a clear executable plan. Basically our border will be...

    ATTN: Anyone on or visiting the Gulf

    Actually it was not a sailfin....I know those little suckers all too well. There is actually a ban on keeping any fish caught in the bay for consumption but you're right [correct me if I am wrong on this] ...it will be ignored and more people will continue to get ill. I just wanted to put it on...

    need some info on snakes

    Leave the exotic constrictors to the professionals. I have some experience in keeping reptiles and let me tell you....those things can get expensive and DANGEROUS! You have to remember that even a hand-raise snake is still a wild animal and it will never be tamed. Its not like a dog where you...

    think i need a book..

    Dean Koontz is a template writer...he never writes anything outside his comfort zone which is why most of his books are so similar. Grisham is an amazing law oriented storyteller but you can only read so many before they seem formulaic. However I still think the Rainmaker is his best book. The...

    ATTN: Anyone on or visiting the Gulf

    BEWARE of Vibrio Vulnificus! This is a deadly bacteria that thrives in warm saline waters primarily in southern coastal waters. It can be contracted by eating raw shellfish or through wounds exposed to the water. My brother live on eastern shores of Mobile Bay and recently contracted this...

    Battlefield 2

    Made it to Gunny Sarge before the game got old for me. The updates and patches suck! I still refuse to get the SF expansion though I did let a friend of mine use my account to get the upgrades. I still lubs my PKM!

    Go Taylor Hicks!

    Go Taylor Hicks!

    That show is the worst thing to have ever been made. You know how many dreams and aspirations were shot down because of it? I'm sure Simon has put his fair share of kids in therapy. Kudos to those out there that didnt make the cuts who still keep going. Don't get me wrong, a great majority of...

    How about those Yankees

    That's because Wells still thinks he's playing for the Yankmees! Arroyo will definitely be missed, but you're right about Damon....he couldnt even throw to second base with any consistancy. My wife will miss him, but I'm over it. People call me crazy, but I still miss Nomar. He was useless to us...

    How about those Yankees

    The best is going to minor league games. Find a buyout night and get your gen admin tix for free and pay $5/ticket to upgrade to lower box on the 1st baseline. Our local minor league team used to be the farm team for the A's but was bought out by Milwaukee. The Conseco's, McGuire, and Dale...

    Who Likes Golf!!!!

    Been playing for several years and actually have a PGA rated index of a whopping 18! LOL! My best round was an 87 at the local municipal course and yes I had everyone in my group sign my scorecard. Best shot was a perfectly placed approach shot to a dogleg left par 4 that dropped in the middle...

    How about those Yankees

    I pay $35 for 2 tix to see the RedSox! Word. Just wish I could hate the taste of beer...alas it is futile and a perpetual hole in my wallet!

    Vacation Suggestions for Georgia?

    Savannah is quite the drive from Ft. Benning. However, Atlanta is not a bad drive. Get tix to a braves game and take a day for Six Flags or the Aquarium. The Coke museum is actually pretty good too. Driving in "Hotlanta" is a pain in the ass though, so be prepared for some frustrating...

    How about those Yankees

    Die hard BoSox fan here! The Yankmees keep trying to buy a team, but they never get it. Chalk it up to the Evil Empire. Have to say the Mets look pretty solid this year though. At least by the numbers.

    How do you fund your hobby???

    I'm a skuzzy DoD contractor for the Missile Defense Agency. Basically I babysit gov't engineers all day and do their work which they always take credit for. But hey, the contractors make more money than the gov't civilians. Stick with it long enough and I bet I become their boss! I have...

    Coke or Pepsi?

    Ewwww!!! I cannot STAND hearing soda referred to as "Pop"! Worse than fingernails down a chalkboard to me.

    Coke or Pepsi?

    I'm a Southern boy, so I have to say Coke. Then again, down here EVERYTHING carbonated is a Coke! lol
