Thanks for your good wishes to me. And of course, the best way to walk around my beloved mountains are listening "hey joe" by hendrix, and of course in a gadda da vida. . . I hear that doug ingle just comes one night with that sentence. (I believe the singer from iron butterfly)

See you later. And thanks again.

" In-a-gadda-da-vida " the other day I learned that the singer of Iron Butterfly was "high" and he tried to say that he felt in "the garden of Eve", but he was so dumb that the only words he was able to utter were "In-a-gadda-da-vida".... baby.... don't know that is true (am I right?) jajajajajajajajaja I remember the Simpsons when they played that song while father Joy was celebrating Mass and it ended up being a mess hahahahahahahahahaha

Whenever my mother listens to that song she starts to "dance" .... and makes the peace signal with her fingers, but don't you tell her that I told you this, she will get mad at me hahahahahahaha... my mother loves ROCK!!!!! I guess you also love Pink floyd... Deep Purple... oh what about Janis Joplin my favorite...."oh c'moon c'moon c'moon c'moon yeah baby! break another little piece of my heart now baby...have another little piece of my heart....." or what about "Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz my friends all drive Porches...."

Going out this way, while still in office, allowed his family to collect1.3 million in benefits that would have been impossible had he been removed from his political office.

CatGirl says on Feb 1, 2008, 11:27:

Hola Loid: BTW - I took at look at the link you sent to me looong time back about genetics etc.. Do you have any peer reviewed studies? I typically prefer that type of literature and studies. Genetics is the up and coming.... the recent studies I was referring to was how they are looking at DNA behavioral impressions. For example: You have a talent for something (art, music etc) or "just know" how to do something and have never been taught or no one in your immediate family has the same talent or intuitive knowledge. Or feel like you "belong" in a city or country that you have never been to before. ....Anyways, recent studies suggest these types of situations are genetic. You will find that if you go back a few generations - a family member was an obssessive painter - etc. But the studies so far lean more towards genetic impressions related to repetitive tasks or obssessive tasks done by a past family member. Hope this makes sense? If not - just forget about it, cause I can't explain it any better jajaja

(response to your post on my page) That was it - you sent it to me in a response to my comment that I was interested in genetics. Again, it was a while ago I apologize for the late response. The link had a lot of info to look at and I was away on vacation for a bit. So I thought "better late than never" - since it was directed at me ;), thought it would be best to give you some type of feedback. Since you don't recall jajaj - no worry, no prob.. just forget it.

gringoloid: Our argument, for one reason or another, got heated on pow wow's post titled "South American turning Socialist." I have no issues with that at all. However, I took a look at another of pow wow's posts "Sexist Shit" and I found one of your comments to be a bit of a stretch.

Your statements on the "Sexist Shit" post:

"i was called 'uneducated' yesterday...........and tomtom33 was called a 'junior high school student.' this is uncalled for andthis is the real goal of americans posts.

And then I made the mistake of calling someone 'LaQuack', which I apologize for."

Here is what I asked tomtom33 on the "Socialist" post in response to him claiming that "the government is the people, all of the people."

Lcacique: "did you just read that out of a Junior High School history book?"

That in no way is calling him a Junior High School student. No way. It may not be polite, but it certainly does not signify that I think he is a Junior High student. Especially when one considers the claim, because it is something we have all heard over and over again in school; however, there are a variety of reasons to question it (no matter your political background).

Although you did not choose to apologize to me for the Laquack comment, apology accepted for what it is worth.

Look, if you or any of the other members want me off the site (especially sense one individual claims that I have chased at the very least one person off) ask me. It's that easy.

VISA RENEWAL GL it went smooooth. I went 2 weeks before it expired. Got it on the same day, so I should have gone with maybe 1 week left on the visa. I did get 2 years!!! jeje. Very friendly but it took a while. I got there at 9 am and had the visa in hand at 1:30pm. Try to be there at 7am and you may be out at 9:30.
I did ask them your question if you should renew now. NO. Your visa will be validated from the date of issue so you would be losing 2 months which, when it comes to getting your residency in 4 years, you will be short of 2 months. You should do it maybe 1 week before expiration. PM me if you want a phone number of a lawyer that I spoke to at MRE and you could have it done without leaving Medallo.

"I have a feeling there has been a change in direction on this website this past couple of days.

I take Thanksgiving day off and look what happens.

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS FINALLY SOME ENFORCEMENT OF THE RULES!!!!!

A highly racist non-american pbher was deleted.

I don't know who is responsible.........but THANK GOD FOR NEW MODERATION!!!!"




Gringoloid, I assume that you are talking about LDW. He was not a racist, he just didn't like Muslims or Islam. Those are not races.

The reason he got deleted was because he was discussing the gang-rape of a Swedish girl by a group of Muslims. He pointed to specific parts of the Koran which state that it is okay for a Muslim to rape an infidel.

We all know that Desi lives in Sweden and that she is always talking about what a great country it is. I can only conclude that A) She didn't like people criticizing her country, or B) She didn't like that she was losing a debate, or C) She thinks she knows more about the Koran than LDW.

Anyway, that's what happened, and you'd better hurry up and read this before it gets deleted as well.
