[uncleshag]

Full moon is great, the snow is
sadly, gone. I have some nice pics
of it though. Best way to enjoy it.

You never get snow do you?

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

I'm still trying to figure out how to use the remote control for the cable.

It will sometime before I tackle more than one thing.

[uncleshag]

Sad that some countries turned down Israel's
offer for help.

Israel has more experience than anybody in
finding and retrieving bodies.

God be with all the people who have lost loved ones. Our hearts break for all those who have lost their lives in the horror of this tragedy.

[SevenofNine]

I just read off Kydto news wire just now now I reading on BBC wire that they think 60,000 while Sky news saying more than more like 66,000

70,000 is pretty bad if Kydto wire is right

Depend on what wire you surf

Speaking of wire service Interfax has interview with Jailed Yuko oil chief he claim that Vlad stole his company

YEAH probably for back taxes and he got busted on oil for food scandel with Fox news

Speaking of Fox news there is report that back in da day Russians were connect to oil for food scandel with smuggling Russia oil to Iraq

OH OH

[luvie]

I want one of those--eliminate some of the "stacking" that goes on with our equipment!

[Kathy in Alaska]

I'm working on the remote control thing for the new DVR. The directions leave something to be desired.
