LOL .... My Dad was very dark for a Polack (I can say that ;) and our last name almost sounds Italian (comes in handy sometimes). Anyway, my Mom would relate the horror of her girlfriends who thought she was marrying a paisan, then were surprised when he talked to them fluently in the 'old tongue'.

Dear Miss Mommy,

I don't want all y'alls to think of me as an ingrate, but ...

Yesterday Cyber fixed my computer with five-second nail glue and (this was my idea) duct tape. It worked last eve and this morning when I was sending out long overdue e-mails, and I sent Cyber a FReepmail.

Then KABOOM, my Compaq Windows 98 DIED again. Cyber said he would try to fix it tonight with a soldering iron. We'll see.

I can start tomorrow's WFTD because I saved everything on my profile page, but I won't be able to reply because I have the most difficult time typing on these little flipping keys. It really hurts my fingers.

Does that make me an ingrate?

Mexico's 2 largest contributors to its GNP:

1. Tourism
2. Money wired into Mexico from emigrants to the U.S.

Vicente Fox will NEVER do anything to curb illegal immigration into the U.S....he has absolutely no incentive to do so.

But don't some of your taxes go to fund hospitals so they can use the ER like a private physician? Think of the children - you need to keep working so they can abuse the system, duh!

Fox News just broadcast that they were receiving hundreds of emails from people saying that any business that shut down today, proving they use undocumented ILLEGAL workers, would be boycotted from now on.

Yes. Our problems are exactly the same as they have been for decades; too many people using the safety net as a hammock.
