Also, if you send things through regular mail, they tend to go missing. My parents have sent a number of children's DVD's to my niece and nephew but they would never make it. They've subsequently quit sending them. Fed-ex would probably be the safest way to go.
I received a package when I...
It's been a couple of years since I've been there. I was surprised to see my login still works. I like the new design of the website.
Anyway. My sister lives there and I have a niece and nephew there also. I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to buy a gift certicate(s) from a mall or...
I think it (riot) was kind of blown out of proportion on the news here in the U.S. I called my sister in BA and she said it wasn't that bad. Of course, she doesn't like us worrying here.
The Military bases and conservatism in the panhandle is what makes it a better place to live. I like Orlando better than Miami but generally don't care to go to Florida at all.
I was there right after the recent conflict with Lebanon this year. But people there just go about their business and don't let it bother them. It was kind of tense in the Temple Mount area and in East Jerusalem and Bethlehem. But in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem proper it was completely relaxed. I...

The people in Israel I found to be very welcoming and the relaxed atmosphere really made me feel at home. El Al Airlines...
My sister married an Argentinian a few years ago. They got married in a civil court ceremony which took about fifteen minutes and only seated about 30 people. But they had two large receptions in rented facilities downtown the following two days. I don't know the technicalities of getting...
I realize you were not disparaging rednecks. And I had not heard of the "Redneck Manifesto," but just a read a review. It sounds like the author hits a lot of good points. This one especially that was mentioned in the review, "he shows how 'white cash' has always pitted 'white trash' against...
I really don't want to get into an extended debate. Rice has a lot of credentials in many different areas (NSAdvisor '01-'04, six years Stanford U. provost overseeing a 1.5 bil budget from '99, professor of political science at Stanford from '81 receiving awards for Excellence in Teaching and...
I think Dr. Rice would make a good president. But you're right that she's not running and probably wouldn't get elected if she did. But the race disparity between the parties has more to do with political ideology than "old prejudices." There are plenty of old prejudices in the Democrat party...
