I'm in our usual place now... it is finally working again. I am ready to hurt somebody at my house;) Please come in and chat.

Due to problems with the chat room in the Boy Scouts group, I have created another Boy Scout chat room in msn chat. Go to chat.msn.com and search Boy Scouts. My username is hops_scout19 instead of hops_scout(This message has been edited by hops_scout)

Personally, I think abortion is just plain wrong. On the matter of the death penalty, I would like to quote Lou Holtz. "I dont chose to displine my players, I enforce their decisions." It's not the exact quote, but it's close.

Laura, it depends on the cover you get.. you can get a cheap vinyl cover for a buck 50 or a nylon cover for almost 9 bucks.

Rooster, I would consider it a threat.. she did say that it could get her thrown in jail...

I AM a den chief.... so if needed, I may be able to answer some questions.

DS, I havent been to Cuba, but I've been close;) exactly 90 miles to be exact;) can send you the picture if wanted and am able.

In there now..... hoping somebody will join me.

True Story This is a small, but true story to give you an idea of the kind of man and the kind of woman we have in the White House right now. As you may know, the President and Mrs. Bush visited the Washington Burn Center on Friday 14 September. Among those they visited was Lt. Col. Brian Birdwell, who was badly burned in the Pentagon attack. Mrs. Bush went into Brian's room, spoke to him for about a minute, all the time as if they had been life-long acquaintances. She then turned to Brian's wife Mel, who at this time had been at the hospital for probably 2 1/2 days, and apparently, according to Mel herself, was dirty, grimy and had blood on her shirt. Mrs. Bush hugged Mel for what Mel said seemed like an eternity, just as if Mel were one of her closest family members. Mrs. Bush then told Brian and Mel that there was "someone" there to see him. The President then walked in, stood by Brian's bedside, asked Brian how he was doing, told him that he was very proud of them both and that they were his heroes. The President then saluted Brian. Now, at this point in time, Brian is bandaged up pretty well. His hands are burned very badly as well as the back of him from the head down. His movements were very restricted. Upon seeing the President saluting him, Brian began to slowly return the salute, taking, from the accounts so far, about 15-20 seconds to get his hand up to his head. During all of this, 15-20 seconds, President Bush never moved, never dropped his salute. The President dropped his salute only when Brian was finished with his, and then gave Mel a huge hug for what also probably seemed like an eternity. No further comments. Pray for our leadership. Thank God for what we are, have, and will be. As a note to those of you who might not be familiar with military protocol, the subordinate normally initiates a salute and will hold it until the superior officer returns the salute. In the above incident, President Bush acted in the role of the subordinate to show his respect and high regard for the injured man.

I am pretty sure Cuba is a big no and I doubt you would be able to travel to Colombia because of their current civil war and drug problems. I'm currently taking Spanish in school.

At least Boy Scout uniforms are all the same... be back to explain more later

We pay our dues and recharter fees at the same time--in January.

What was a myth??? You've got two sources, no myth there. Somewhere I read that they were told they COULD leave their posts, If they WANTED to.

http://stacks.msnbc.com/news/969061.asp?0cl=cr This is what I have found on this topic. There was an article about them last year sometime in the Boys' Life featuring an Eagle Scout who is one of the Guards. FOG, are you always critzizing something? They do something to honor men and women who have died for this country and you are just worried about your tax money.:(

Anybody know what ended up happening in this case?

FOG, I answered you. They know, and really havent pushed it. My mom would prefer that we wear the helmet, but doesnt force us to do so. Also, this was before high school that I didnt wear a mask. Next, your gonna be telling me I shouldnt rock climb because it, too, is dangerous and no helmet can prevent injury if you fall.(This message has been edited by hops_scout)

I only wear that stuff because they make me. No, OGE, I dont mind though it doesnt matter because you're free to make those choices. Thats what is so great about our country. If I'm in the bullpen, sometimes I wont wear a mask. I wear one when there is a batter there because they have a metal bat in their hands. I know I should wear a helmet, I just dont like doing so therefore I dont. I'm adventurous and risky usually. I dont wear a helmet when I rock climb unless it is required by the scouts. FOG's right in the fact that I should wear a helmet, I'll admit that. Some people make choices that others feel they shouldnt have made. As you probably have seen, I am not afraid of much. Including posting my pictures, name, relative location, etc. Most wont do that. I dont care that much. Choices, Choices, Choices....

so Mr. Steele, why arent you hiking it with her???:)

"Inattentive drivers are everywhere." I dont think a helmet is going to help that well in that type of situation. My parents know I seldom wear my helmet, none of us do. I've flipped my bike before. Did it hurt? Well, yeah, but it hurt my hands and knees, not my head.

"$10" I dont know where you go shopping, but I cant recall ever seeing a helmet that would fit anybody but a toddler for less than 17. I have a helmet, but seldom wear it. Why? Because I dont like wearing and I know the area I ride very well. If I was going off road or on a Scout thing, then I would wear it.

In there now with Buckeye

Buffalo2, I know what you mean, sort of...... and I'm guilty of this... I have sewed before, but very little. I do webdesign on the time. Which is easier and which is harder?? That cant be answered because what's easy for me is hard for a lot of people and something some can do easily I struggle with. Also, it helps to have an interest;)

We got ours last night, but we arent allowed to start until October 4th.

Pounder, what are you guys shooting?
