I wasn't real sure on whether or not to post this because of the story of Katy's friend, but we can't let scum ruin our good time.

Oh, ya can't. It is apalling what happened to him....more so the treatment by the police and the hospital. That is unacceptable. Those people should be sued and held accountable for their actions.
However, in any major city, crime is an issue. I've been going to Manhattan since I was in HS and there is always a chance something can happen. No area anywhere is ever truly safe...

Oh, I know!!! Even in my area and it's pretty rural. It used to be if you heard of a murder it was some kind of domestic thing. Now gangs are starting to move in. It think it's because we're on the I-95 corridor.
jersey, email me. I have a stupid match story for you and I can't find your email addy. :eek:
The top 10 nominated cities, as determined by a survey of 900 adults ages 21 and older conducted by Greenfield Online, included: Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Martha's Vineyard, South Beach-Miami, New Orleans, New York, Orlando, San Diego, San Francisco and Santa Monica. More than half of survey respondents said that what makes a city sparkle is "breathtaking scenery" (61%) and "great night life" (53%). Online voters then had the opportunity through June 15 to select the winner.
All the more impressive, given that the #1 criterion for respondents was "breathtaking scenery", something New Orleans for the most part lacks (at least the natural kind).

I think the "breathtaking scenery" would depend on the number of male respondents and the number of beads that they threw. ;)

YYR, but sometimes that's what some of these kids need to put them on the right track. I'm not talking abuse here, but a well placed smack on the butt does wonders!

I know what you're sayin', Rosetree. :) Sometimes you do have to get the attention of the little darlings! I know neither one of us endorse child abuse.
Even if there are moments when you just feel like pinching off their little heads! ;) :D
