Where the **** do YOU live Brian? It must be another planet. As for
your
wee pal above... bitching about trailer trash while admitting that
America's Most Wanted is a weekly staple of your TV diet is a tad
hypocritical. Do you suppose he has every COPS episode on tape?

What's wrong with watching one of the longest running programs on TV?

If you were sitting on a hemorrhoid for 10 years would you learn to enjoy
it, simply because it's been around for a long time? At least the guy
isn't quoting from Jerry Springer, that other TV longevity leviathan.

Oh..like that other shameful piece of diarretic imu ****.."Friends"

Right?

I guess you support the Old Testament way of punishing unruly children:
Take them outside the village walls and stone them to death.

No, why would I? You dont kill a dog for ****ting on the carpet. You
train it not to do so. You do not make excuses for its behavior, or
tolerate it, or encourage it. The training may involve some discomfort
to the dog however. Children are much the same. Headstrong, always
pushing the envlope, always seeking to gain dominance.

Killing dogs and children rather than training them serves no purpose,
except in the extreme cases. And as its the right of the mother to
terminate their child up to the age of majorit..its pretty much up to
mom as to what she wants to do with the prat. Only after the most
extreme provocation could I see most mothers stoning a child.

Most simply punch a hole in the kids skull and vacuum out the brain
matter, or break it up into pieces and vacuum it away.

Get real, we're suffering the after affects of gigolo Bill's 8 years.
Fortunately things are getting better.

Right! We go from a surplus and a shaken but viable economy to a
jobless disaster and things are getting better. The only thing getting
better is that there is a chance to get rid of shrub and his unmerry men.


ROFL!!!!!

Until the last decade or so that wasn't true. Florida had been
goiing through a long relatively quiet period with respect to
hurricanes.

How can you stand the high temperatures and humidity?

It's not the heat, it's the humidity. We have even higher
temperatures here and much lower humidity.

But I don't see hwo they can stand it either.

I've lived in Florida for 25 years, as of April. This year, I
experienced my first hurricane. A neighbor's tree punched a small hole
in my screened porch roof, which cost me $4.00 worth of epoxy to
repair. I've enjoyed great beaches, low living costs, including no
state income taxes, and a great family atmosphere. I can ignore the
fact that the state is governed by the brother of our befuddled
president.

What's your excuse for living where you live??

I was diverted from working the space coast by family concerns. One
day I hope to live in the land of Jeb Bush, preferably the space coast
or the emerald coast.

With air conditioning. But on days like today, in North Florida,
its its great to be outdoors. Low 63 F, high 82 F, humidity 52%.

There's a website which ranks the top 50 locales struck or brushed
by hurricanes and tropical storms since 1871... Before 2004, the
highest ranked Florida city was #10 with an average of every 2.66
years. -- www.hurricanecity.com/Rank.htm If you prepare and
follow precautions, its relatively safe and easy to ride out a hurricane.
I've lived in Florida all my life (49 years), been thru several, and\
inconvenience is the worst I've suffered. [R]

Hm. Just like here, except our humidity is 13%.

Do you have any connection to reality? I suspect that for the past
several decades the frequency for a hurricane hitting anywhere in
Florida is once ever four years or so.

Sure, and you have lots of sand, too, perhaps more than Florida.

Egver been here? Rocks, not sand.

OTOH, there is something to be said for green woodlands (not
that scraggly things you call trees),

We have to go up on the rim or up on our local moutnians for
that.

and actual oceans, lakes, and miles of beaches.

It's only a historical accident that the head of the Sea of
Cortez isn't in Arizona, but we like to pretend it is.

I don't recall that you have much in the way of
sailing, canoeing, snorkeling or fishing, at least none that doesn't
have something to do with /a/ dam. And you import Key Lime Pie
from where? [R]

Mexico.
