Based on foreigners coming as a percentage of population, Syria is 20
times as attractive than the US. Must be all the freedom.

Hello to the group,
My child has a standing appt. in a town 20 miles from where we live.
I take him and then I wait the two hours he is there and we go home.
Trying to amuse myself for that two hours is sometimes a challenge.
Found myself going shopping way too much. So in the name of
frugality and all that is good for me I have started taking walks
during that timeframe.
Dawn, frugal and hopefully healthier.

You could also bring a newspaper. Read and clip coupons.
Improve your mind and your finaces at the same time.

Reading coupons is unlikely to improve your mind very much.

Likewise any potential fiance offering coupons in the paper is
unlikely to be much of an improvement over your present one.

They could also bring a book, perhaps even from the library. This
would be for those who take things literary. There are also MP3
players that can be found for less than $30 and audio books or
lectures. There are also portable video or dvd players, for folks
who prefer to just rent the movie.

I've found one of the more interesting ways to spend a little time
is striking up conversations with strangers.

That's because you changed your email address.

Any time a see a post in Spanish I create a message filter for the
person who sent it, as I will do with this one. I can create a message
filter in three clicks, so change your address as much as you want to.

That is the great thing about the First Amendment. They have the right
to post what they want and you have the right to ignore it.

English has always been the "native language" of the United States of
America, and will continue to be. Any immigrant to the United States
that wants to be a citizen, will be proficient in the English language.

UseNet is controlled by the reader.

That's what I'm going for, pendejo. Those extra three clicks. You have
nothing else to do. Lazy fool, plenty of time to click three times.

Cuantos tiempos por dia? eres una maravilla de pavada.

Pero eso es mi afición. Lo mas que tu protestas, lo mas feliz soy yo.

Naturalmente, gente.

Tres clicks for todos! Tres clicks for freedom of speech on usenet!

We actually had a buyer...and a house we wanted in central FL. But,
there were office politics with my transfer. And, I like my job [and
cover all our health benefits and retirement plans]. So, we felt it was
unwise to just up and move right now.

We just did a double cartridge filter. The RO took up too much space.
The freezer ice goes through a cartridge in the fridge. So far we are
alive and healthy. Water is increasingly a BIG issue. I miss my cold
clear northern well water. The whole city of West Palm has been on a
boil order. They even had the FBI in to investigate. But, they think
now it was a backflow issue from an illegal well. Hmm..

An IKEA is opening in Sunrise next week. I've never been to Sunrise,
but I will go now. I've never seen an IKEA but have gotten their
catalogues for years and I love some of their storage solutions and want
to buy a pullout pantry system. My little pantry has wire shelves and
is basically useless.

First I finish my kitchen. Then I finish my office. Then I do my
garden. I want some sort of raised bed system, but I haven't worked it
all out yet. I have to do a diagram for DH, in advance. Otherwise
he'll just think I'm a crazy lady.

Gardening is so damned upside down and backwards for me..a Northerner
transplanted to SoFL. I am definitely seasonally challenged here. The
planting season is starting now. And, I'm still waiting for Winter! LOL.

I've a friend from Guatemala who said she would help me set up my
garden. I think I am going to take her up on it. She's used to the
climate and will help me from making major errors.

We did a timeshare tour in West Palm Beach a few years ago.
It struck me that the water down there has a strong taste of diesel fuel
or something similar.

Well, I'm further south of West Palm. Thank goodness.
The water here is nasty compared to VT and NH. But, so far, it's
drinkable with filtering.

It's in the ball park, 1/4" drop per foot is standard, which would be 5" for 20
feet. I believe if the pipe is 4" or larger the slope can be less.

I have condemned G.W. Bush for many things, sometimes from the Right
and sometimes from the Left. Nevertheless, though I favor the death
penalty where murder is proven "beyond a shadow of a doubt," I find
him blameless in the case of Jose Modesto Medellin. Bush has been
cornered by an "International Court of Justice" packed with death
penalty opponents and by a US judiciary overly deferential to an ICJ
that has no standing under the US Constitution.
Bush has at least drawn the correct lesson from the case,
exercising his legal authority to withdraw the USA from ICJ
jurisdiction in future such cases.
