She says we are going somewhere this year. We went to Italy a few years ago. We are retired and have the time and means but I have no good ideas about where to go. We live in the south and can fly or drive. Passports are current (if needed). Give me some ideas, maybe some places that you have been to that you enjoyed.

Would armed teachers or security guards made a difference at Newtown? How do you feel about training and arming school staff who might volunteer to go armed?

I installed crown in a neighbor's home couple years ago. It is about 4 inch stuff bought at the big box store. It is painted and was caulked to the popcorn ceiling. Last year about this time I noticed that it had seperated from the ceiling in many areas. During summer months it looked pretty good, winter started, the heat (gas) was turned on and the stuff came loose all over the place. The exceptions seemed to be on the outside walls of the house. It would seem to be a problem with humidity except the neighbor runs a humidifier in the house. I also have the same stuff in my house and have had no problems. (Same heat source, same crown from same box store) I'm not talking a little seperation but in some places it was almost a half inch. Any ideas?

Rent is due on the 20th, tomorrow, should I wait and see if the world is going to end on the (22nd ?) rumored date or go ahead and pay up. I hate to think I paid my rent and did not get but two days use of the property. I would rather use the money on liquor and women.

from a computer. Attempted to start internet and a security alert notified me of a toolbar from Besttoolbars.inc was not recognized and could be dangerous. I clicked on "Do Not Allow" and hit the red x but it kept coming back and would not allow the internet to start without it. I checked as best I could on its background using another computer. I wound up allowing it to run but then went in and disabled it but I'm still concerned. Anybody know anything about this outfit and how to get rid of it completely?

in American infantry units? Go on Youtube and watch the downloaded clips of troops in action in Afghanistan or Iraq. I'm not talking rear support troops like truck drivers, MP's or clerks. I'm referring to troops (soldiers or marines) that are the front line folks exchanging bullets with the bad guys, you rarely if ever see a soldier/marine of color. What's the deal?

I was in the infantry (1st Inf Div) in Vietnam 68-69 and we had plenty of black troops, of course the draft was in effect at the time but I'm sure some them had to have enlisted. The ratio was overwhelmingly white to black (probably 3 to 1) but there were also a good many black NCOs in the infantry units but there doesn't seem to be as many now.

Is it possible that African Americans are scared to take up arms in defense of our country?

when he wants to go outside or just to get your attention. He has a bell next to the door that he rings to go out but he has started nudging people with his snout when he wants attention. I've had other dogs but this is the first Westie that I have had and the first dog of any breed who pokes with his muzzle.

What additive would you add and where? What would you do to kill a lawnmower engine without any tampering being obvious to the casual observer? I have a neighborhood kid that is really aggravating the neighbors with a stripped down riding mower. It needs to die and go to lawnmower heaven.

Obviously there is something there he wishes to conceal. What do you think it might be?

Fox may be considered conservative...MSNBC may lean liberal. Which main stream media outlet do you consider the most liberal/conservative and why. Do not forget Wall Street Journal, NY Times, etc.
