You know, when all that was going on, I was working in the desert helping to train Marines who will be going to Iraq in a few weeks. (You probably wondered why I haven't been adding to my average of over 10 posts a day... now you know!) As far as dates go, they are only numbers! I have the number "666" twice on my California driver's license. When I was a seminary student at Southwestern in Fort Worth, Texas, one cashier at the school suggested I change my number.

"Why?" I asked. "This one is so easy to memorize!"

Post once more and you'll have 777, which is, as we all know...



...111 more than 666.

Because of my constant traveling back and forth between the United States and Southeast Asia, I have actually missed important dates because, as far as my life was concerned, THEY DIDN'T HAPPEN!

Let me give you an example:

I leave on a flight from Los Angeles to Singapore, on Singapore Airlines nonstop. If I leave on flight SQ19, which leaves at 9:15 tonight from LAX, I will arrive at Changi Airport in Singapore Thursday at 6:40 in the morning. For me, I just had a very long Tuesday night. As far as I am concerned, June 14, 2006, never happened.

However:

If I leave Singapore on Saturday this week, again nonstop on Singapore Airlines, I go on flight SQ20 which leaves at 4:10 Saturday afternoon from Changi and arrives at 5:25 the same afternoon at LAX. Such a quick flight!

:lol:

Well, Ken, first off, she's now Dan Schultz's age...

She did a made-for-TV movie in 2004 with John Larroquette called "Wedding Daze" according to imdb.com:

Sadly, imdb doesn't mention if she ever got her teeth fixed.

Must've been their Christmas show when they all got together to "wrap" gifts.

Did she tell you it was a term for tunes with no discernable melody? elody? elody? "L"ody? "LOD"? :lol:

Rap actually comes from the term, rapport, a cohesive feeling that salespeople try to get from their customers. That stuff the emits from my next-door neighbor's subwoofers does not convey that cohesive feeling. It makes me want to throw I rock through his front window. But I wouldn't dare do it!

I thought I was the only one who felt compelled to throw a rock through a window when hearing rap. I also have a need to throw up, too. I assumed a lot of people have that.

No, we in California feel the same way. I also want to roll a 1967 Chevy Impala over when it pulls up to me with its subwoofers that are so big that the week's groceries have to go into the front seat due to the waste of trunk space on electronic equipment.
