I wasn't aware there was an age..

I lived with my mate Dave in his place for a while back in England. He's the same age as me. ???

Presumably it's a law over here?

If it is then there are double standards because at the moment in the eyes of the U.S Government i am on my own, nobody is under any legal responsibility to take me in.

Here's an interesting little tidbit for my fellow Canadians.  I learned this yesterday and it's something i've always wondered about ...

Ever see this little logo on an album before?

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y7/whistledog/MAPL.jpg

The CanCon rule requires that Canadian radio stations play (i believe) atleast 30% Canadian music.  That logo means that the album contains Canadian content and it gives a Canadian artist a better chance of having their songs played on the air :)

Often certain sections of the logo will be highlghted in white, signifying that the recording is not 100% Canadian ...

M - the Music is performed by a Canadian
A - the Artist is Canadian
P - the recording was Produced in Canada
L - the Lyrics were written by a Canadian

Unfortunately I had no camera on me.

I couldn't believe how preserved the pencil looked. They must of not known for years. There were also signatures from Mae West and Al Jolson, but Jolson's was covered in plexi-glass.

Rightly so, I hope they do the same with Gable's as it's way too valuable - actually all of them were just fun to read and deserve equal preservation. They also had drawn some funny drawings of an opera singer and an old fashioned football player. Recent signatures had been added to continue the tradition.

In the United States, absinthe is not a controlled substance but its sale in bars and liqour stores is banned. Absinthe is still however legal to purchase and possess in the United States . In most of the European Union, absinthe may be sold as long as it stays at 10mg of thujone. In Canada, absinthe is completely legal, and on sale in some liquor stores.

Unlike most other internet based absinthe shops, our absinthes contain the original levels of the psychoactive ingredient thujone. It is thujone that produces the celebrated "absinthe effects".

The best cure for something like that is videocam.  If this is not at the addiction phase you can stop it
by showing someone how they look when they are soused.  It is one thing to be a pretty sight, a whole
other thing to see yourself for yourself!!

Howard you have a good heart.  Where I come from, NO gift would be seen as an insult.  The old adage is true "it is the thought that counts".  Yeah, perhaps a 2-month-late anniveraary plaque is late, but it is still a celebration of your relationship with her.  Very odd response from her, it seems.  :-\\

Is that another rule of hers?? That it has to be Hanukkah related?

I can understand her wanting you to get a job and all... because that is for your own good, and she probably needs to know she won't have to be supporting you for the rest of your life if you decide to stay together... but a gift doesn't have to be Hannukah related... she should appreciate the fact that you went out and got her something.

it's an out of print movie....and I happen to have 2 copies of it.  I found one at Goodwill years ago...and then I found the other one at a local video store...they are trying to get rid of their VHS movies...so I picked it up for $2.  It doesn't play all that great...so I am hoping that my other one does.  That movie FREAKED me out as a kid...and it still is kinda creepy to me, even now. ;D

But this guy was walking towards the parking lot. He was trying to cross the roadway in front of an oncoming car (mine), and insisted on proceeding. It's almost like I wasn't even there or something.

My own name has variant spellings (Jeffrey and Geoffrey, although the latter is probably used more in UK). And my mom, whose name is Janis, often gets her name spelled the other way (Janice, which is probably more common), even after she tells others the proper spelling...which is even listed in her email address!

By the way, my friend with the "unusually-spelled but common-sounding" name... her name is Netosha.

Yeah, 8am-4pm. There are a number of elements to the course; I have finished some of them, including Electronic Calculator, the basics of the Windows operating system, and Microsoft Word 2010. Currently I am working on level 1 (out of 3) of Accounting, and Microsoft Excel 2010. At some point I will learn Business English, Quickbooks, among other subjects.

Which is helpful.

My first experience with word-processing software probably dates back to the early 1990's; I was about 10 or 11. The computer in my dad's office, a little B&W Mac computer, had Microsoft Word on it, but of course it was a far cry from what we know now. And on my 13th birthday, in July 1993, my grandparents gave me and my family a Mac computer which was new then, but became obsolete rather quickly, and had Word Perfect Works on it. Less than five years later, in early 1998, I was a senior in high school and taking a computer class in which we used Mac computers and learned various software programs, including the then-current version of MS Word. That same year, my dad's office's computers were upgraded to Windows 98 with Microsoft Office 97 programs. So when I started college in August 1998, I became quickly acquainted with the Windows operating system, since the computers at my community college had Windows 95 and/or 98 installed as their OS. And I learned how to use Word, catching on quickly with that.

A friend on Tumblr is boasting about her 1984 Victory tour program and it looks like it got rolled underneath the Jackson's tour bus. I have the same program, but mine is in near mint condition, and stored at the moment between two pieces of cardboard to keep it flat and unbent.

I paid 22 dollars for mine. I'm afraid to ask what she paid for hers. And yes, mine was purchased post-death.

...one of my friends is an idiot.

I've never met a Black person who's ever called "A Different World" a boring show.
I think the show was incredibly positive portraying Black people of all SHADES in college, attending college, having majors and ambitions and addressed social issues of the day such as the AIDS crisis, Apartheid in Africa and the LA "Riots" following the Rodney King beating.
But...it's boring.
There weren't many shows on TV when I was a kid where a girl who looked like me (Kim) was studying to be a doctor.

And what kills me is this same girl spends all day, day in and day out on effing Twitter lobby for equal and civil rights, Black Lives Matter etc, but is sinking a show that probably helped inspire a generation of Black kids that more was possible for them in a Pre-Obama world.
It annoyed me greatly.
