Wow, this has been a sad month in terms of sports. I'm also saddened for LA Angels Pitcher Nick Adenhart who got killed in a horrible accident. They will be both missed.

There are very few good baseball announcers left.

This is weird - I was in my 6th hour class, and my throat/neck started tightening up. I couldn't swallow, and kept feeling like I was going to gag. It lasted until 8th hour.

Supposedly it's some form of panic attack?

[ruhgster]

could it be some kind of allergic reaction? I don't know if a panic attack last that long, or is as mellow as you're implying it to be (I think you'd be having trouble breathing and would have to go see the nurse or something, unless that did happen too).

That's a good question. I have been having allergy problems lately, but I'm not too sure if that's it.

I was about to buy a song from iTunes, and noticed that some songs are $1.29 now.
 Meanwhile there are some music videos that have dropped fifty cents to $1.49.

[Tyler]

Yup, just another reason I don't buy from iTunes.

Apple did it to please the record companies so they would allow them to sell DRM free music. Now there is tiered pricing...

$.69 - Impossible to find
$.99
$1.29

The record companies control how much they sell it for but at least it's DRM free.

That's expensive.

Will someone give me the complete and utter synapsis on why my picture was taken off my account?

At least five users have gone to an administrator last night and have said that it was highly offensive and felt uncomfortable, thus this administrator went in and removed the image. That's what I know -- I will not give names nor will I give the name of the Administrator. I have a feeling if it is put back up it'll be taken down again. I'm not an Admin, and I'm testing the borders of the line again, but an offensive image like that (flipping the bird) shouldn't be your avatar, especially with the young members.

Administrator: Gary
People who did it: Evan, Zach, Saenz, Gil, and Ana. I don't feel like adding more people, and also, I got to go to church.

I can feel it in my spirit.

It is not my fault, there is no age limit to be on here. He needs to impose an age limit, cuz, I am 28 and ain't getting any younger.
Oh well, it got the point across.

Epic fail. Use duster... though not to suck with your mouth. I watched that on A&E on demand on "Intervention". This lady was sucking the aerosol.

Oh yeah...

Why should I care anymore about what happens here. The kids will be kids, and the "meteorologist-ettes" will be like Howard Stern... So good, I threw my Sirius out the window.
