Is your friend the trustee of Marlin Perkins' estate? Due to my stance on not shitting in other's for sale threads, I will keep my comments to myself.

Sounds like "dad" needs some anger management classes. I "get" being upset, but punching/hitting your own daughter 50+ times? A strongly voiced GTFO! should have been all that was done to the boys. I'm surprised he didn't get charged with kidnapping. Hold my kid hostage/beat him, and you're going to be dealing with me and MY CHL. You'd better hope the cops get there before I do.

5 of us couples and our kids had flown back to Columbus on Monday, 10 September, from our annual Labor Day big group vacation. Good thing we decided to only extend it a day... Tuesday, 11 September, 08:40 or so. I had dropped my then almost 9 month old off at my buddy's house - his wife watched him and their two (now 5 ) boys during the day. Was listening to Howard Stern on the radio on the drive to the office - back in the old days, kids, he used to be on "regular/free" radio. Howard said something about a plane hitting the North Tower, and had the different cable news channels on the TVs in his studio, and was giving a play-by-play, for lack of a better term, of what was happening. Got to the office right about when the second plane hit the South Tower. The entire office was abuzz with a lot of "WTF is going on?" conversations. One fella had a conversion van with a TV in it, so about 15 of us were huddled around the van's backdoors watching a little 9" or so television. Even with the giant pipe we have directly to the Internet, most major sites at the time, e.g. Yahoo!, CNN, Google, USA Today were mostly unresponsive - they were just completely overwhelmed. When the South Tower fell a little before 10, I think that's when it really hit us that "Jeez, this isn't just a fire that the firemen can douse, they're both going to fall". I recall the initial news reports were saying that 20-30,000 people combined worked in the Twin Towers on any given day, so during most of the day after both towers collapsed that's how many people we (Americans) thought had been murdered. At some point in the morning we were told to go home, so I did. Grabbed the kid from the babysitter, went home, flipped between the news channels all day. For the next 3 or 4 days there was nothing on any of the 300~ish channels on TV except coverage of what had happened. It was strange when I wandered outside in the afternoon to burn a heater that no planes whatsoever were flying, except for when I went to the Hills Market around 17:30 or so to grab some dinner. I heard airplanes, looked up and saw 3 planes flying WAY up high; it was Air Force One and its two fighter escorts taking President Bush somewhere, probably back to D.C. at that time of the day. One of my co-loafers at work lost her sister that day - she was a military officer that worked in the Pentagon. I don't have any siblings, so I can only imagine how awful that must be - to not only lose a sister, but to lose her to a cowardly act of terrorism. One thing that has stuck with me to today: A day or two after the attacks I was looking through the passenger manifests of the 4 planes on the off-chance I might know someone, and I saw 3 last names in a row: Hanson: Peter, 32, Sue, 35, and Christine, 2. Jesus H. Freaking Christ, an entire family - Mom, Dad, and baby girl wiped out in an instant. Every time I remember reading that I hunt down my now 10 year old and hug him tightly. Like I saw written on one of the thousands of candles laid out in NYC, "No, it's not raining, those are our tears."

- Pick/choose your battles wisely. - Household chores (inside and outside) should work out to 50/50 you/her (or you a little more...). - As stated earlier, don't go to bed angry. - 3 words: make-up sex. OR, if you ignore all of the above: OR Congrats, dumbass... Looks like you're marrying up, good idea...

Well, it's the Federal Boys, gotta be legit, right... Still gonna do the e-Cigs? ...when you get the cash, try to remember who your friends are...

Attempted jibberish - English translation: "I have a 97excab three door 4x4 truck needs put together." = I have a 1997 Extended cab 3 door 4x4 truck that needs to be put back together. "I sleazy put motor trands." = <no idea> "Ear end front all in new lines for gas and brakes new gas tank pump filter new brakes rotors." = Read and front differentials installed. New gas and brake lines. New gas tank, fuel pump, fuel filter, brake rotors. "Trade for bike don't want truck to sit around untold I'm able to finish I had survey and I can finish it up if I could I keep it." = I am open to trading for a motorcycle, as I don't want my truck to sit around until I am able to finish it. I had surgery, and if I had the time to finish it I would keep it. "call 4406451550" = Please call me at (IMA) DUM-BASS

^^^ Ding ding ding, we have a winnar. Maybe wear a shirt with sleeves? Get another tattoo over top of it/blend it in/something other than a grinding wheel? Jeez-o-petes.

Slurpee or casino; dot or feather? Yup, me too. IBTL.

43 ?! There are only 12 or 13 games in a season, whaddya need 43 different uniforms for? You (Maryland) tax dollars at work. Oh, sure, some of you will argue that the Athletic Department pays for that, but that weakens my rant, so hush up...

Seems like every other shop (shoppe?) made fudge. Mmmm, fudge...

Man, I had to buy my own '73 Capri with my saved-up paper route monies. Guess I shoulda picked my parents better. Just kidding, Mom and Dad - love ya, RIP. Glad they didn't spoil me - makes me value what I do have that I've worked for and earned maybe just a little more.

Hell, middle of August when it's 90+ here it's mid-60's on Mackinac Island, or it was when I was there 6 years ago. Had to buy a sweatshirt for the young 'un... If she's 45 minutes north it doesn't surprise me that she had frost. I'd like to be healed/able to walk so's I can ride one more time this year. Stupid lumbar discs/old age...

Site dead? Tried through external proxy just in case, "service unavailable".

Seeing Maryland's flag, the uniforms make sense (being based upon the flag). The flag looks like a dyslexic Stevie Wonder design.

Holly has chickenlips? Is that good or bad?

I was out at Todd's 2 months ago to fix up a Windows problem they were having, and the performance of that Internet connection was perfectly good for what most people are going to do. It connected right away, no hiccups, and unless you would want to have multiple torrent streams going while streaming Netflix you'd be more than happy.

If you need someone to come out, I can highly recommend Fire and Ice, 614.842.2100 I have known the owner (Scott Merritt) for about 18 years, he's a great guy, and an honest businessman. *edit: If you can make it through tonight, the storms tomorrow are supposed to cool things down to mid-80's, and the mid-70's Monday-Friday.

Bring a gun and/or a friend or 3, or else you're getting jumped.

Well I hear it's fine if you got the time And the ten to get yourself in.

Everything except this.. Bill Gates DOES want to give you money, you CAN charge your <insert name of device here> with an onion, etc.

I call Shopped.

1,000+ years of inter-country fighting in the Middle East- they're never going to get along. Step 1: All troops outta there, pronto. Step 2: Weather forecast for the first day after the last soldier is gone: 3,000 degrees and sunny. Step 3: Two new states: East Virginia and East Carolina. Gas back to $0.25 / gallon, no more war, all soldiers are home safe and sound.
