what this place would turn to if England actually wins the World cup? The mere thought of it just gives me the creeps.

I hope this note finds you doing well!!! December 13th of this year marks the day that our lovely mother turns the big 5-0!! This is not only a day to celebrate, but also an occasion that should last. We toyed with the idea of throwing a big 50th birthday party, but decided instead that a SURPRISE vacation would be the gift that would allow her to cut loose and really celebrate the event. Mom has made our birthdays feel so special and memorable, so in honor of her big milestone, Jennifer and I would like to send her (along with Earl) on a Mexican vacation. Jennifer and I will be funding the majority of the expense, but would like to ask for contributions to help make the vacation a truly special one. Any donations will be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Mom will be so touched to know that all her family and friends joined together to give her an unforgettable celebration. Thanks so much!... more »

I still have some ducks I shot earlier this month. Now, I've bags of frozen duck breast.
I'm thinking of a cold duck salad to go with Thanksgiving Day dinner. Any ideas? I am thinking NOT a rice salad as it's too stuffing like.
I vaguely remember my mom's. It was waldorf salad like I think.
In any case, a salad with berries would be good?
Thank for any ideas!

ok, here's another post I'm going to regret, but I dont' know what to do.
A bit after my husband found out I was pregnant (which we both actively planned, I didn't trick him or make him) he suddenly demanded a divorce, and demanded custody of our 2 and 3 yr old, told me to get out of our house because it was 'his' house, and pretty much as given fa about this new baby. He's basically been v cordially nice to me, trying to get me to decide the financial side, ie he's in complete control of our finances (all of mine having gone into our life and houses here in Norway). He's gone to the sonograms as I asked him to, but I didnt' know til the day of that he would go. Sunday he talked about names for the baby, but he and his family, though cordial and nice to me, never ask about the baby ( I don't even think hes' told most of his family) etc.
For months, since August, I've tried to m...

Or George Bush, or Ronald Reagan... because they were "White"?
Barry is really unpopular, if you ignore the racists who like him.

How much were you paid for your first job? I've just had to look up the minimum wage and it's $12.50 an hour.
When I was a student and worked in a department store I was on $8 an hour and thought I was raking it in because I was earning so much more than my friends who were working in supermarkets. Even when I left that department store 7 years later I think I was on $11 an hour

I'll go ahead and start the thread to make posting faster. We'll see if this one catches on and the other dies out (but it can continue also with different themes).
First subject: movies containing film or video made by the characters themselves
1. The Blair Witch Project

In Scotland, Santa's reindeers are fed carrots. What are they fed in the rest of the world?
P.S. The Royal Mail in Britain has very kindly established an address for children (and all) to send letters to Santa:
Santa Claus
Reindeerland
SAN TA1
The service is FOC, as long as the letter has a stamp (standard 1st or 2nd class) on it. You dinnae even have to enclose a return stamp.
I'm willing tae bet the RM would reply if they received such letters from overseas, if people use the same address and put 'United Kingdom' at the bottom.

My son turned six today. SIX!
We're having a birthday party on Saturday evening. He has made a list of who he wants to invite etc. There is one little boy, who seems to be a part of his posse, who he has left off the list, because the little boy is a bit of a ratbag and my son is worried that the kid will try and blow out the candles on his cake and just be generally naughty. The little ratbag looked thoroughly disappointed when he wasn't handed an invitation, so I talked to my son further about it, saying that it might be nice to include Ratbag as he seemed so sad, but he was adamant that he doesn't want this kid to come.
Would you tell your kids that they should include people they don't really like and maybe make them invite kids along to kind of keep the peace at school or would you just give the little ratbag the two finger salute and be done with it?
To be honest I'm...
