  1. Iron Maiden

    Megadeth

    Anthrax

    Blue Oyster Cult

    Motorhead

    Judas Priest

    Those are the ones I've seen in concert.

    Apocolyptica? You know, I've heard some of their stuff, and it seems to me that they can't make up their mind what type of band they are. It's not really a blend of different types of music. They're either playing metal, or something that's almost symphonic. At least what I've heard of them, anyway.

  2. I think the parents doing the hollering are over-reacting. It's done, it's over. Let it go. It was one word. If these parents don't think their children have never heard it before, they're not doing a very good job of parenting to begin with. They are out of touch.

    My kids are 10. I know they hear the 'f' word at least 20 times a day, especially my son, as he hangs around with boys. That's what they do. They play ball. They play in the creek. They cuss.

    They don't, however, hear it in this house, from their parents. All you can do is teach your children what you believe to be a decent way to live, and hope they follow your example.

    That's not to say I don't agree with Sue, though, because I do. There has to be some sort of limit on what filters through and gets into my living room on the TV.

  3. you worked on the gameboy games? wow! no, i've really enjoyed them because they are the style of game that i really like, i thought they got progressively easier or maybe i got better?

    i'm guessing that the pc/console games are better than the gameboy ones

    This from the one who stopped reading children's books long ago. :jester:

  4. what is it about Harry Potter that makes your world stop to give you the time in purchasing the book?

    Are there any others like me who are not into Pottermania?

    Hhhmmm...maybe because it's a good story? If it was crap, people wouldn't read it.

    Look at how Stephen King's sales have dropped off. You write crap, and evenyually, people won't spend money on you.

    I've never read one, simply because the whole witchcraft/magic spells stuff isn't my particular interest.

    My kids have them all. They're geeky nerds like their dad. They know the importance of reading, broadening their horizons. They can read whatever they're interested in.

  5. They've been down the beach for over a week. I talked to them every night, and they both reminded me every time. LOL.

    They got home this afternoon, and they're about to die.

    as far as who reads it first, that's Luke. Juli said she wants to read the last one, and hit the ground running for the new one.

  6. you know, i always think it's weird that i am the first person to listen to other's problems and try and help, yet i never talk to anyone about mine.

    You know, I could have typed this.

    (instead, I quoted it)

  7. Trek of the Penguins.

    A small budgeted film about the 70 mile trek Emporer penguins make every year in Anarctica. I have been reading about it. It's only on 74 screens in America, but, per screen, it is outselling every other summer release. War of the Worlds, Brad Pitt movies, all of them.

  8. I just read in the paper today that the hurricane that just passed through righted a sunken ship down in the Keys. I forget the name of it. The article said it is home to over 160 sea creatures, and nowm sitting upright, will be a great place for divers, as when they originally sank it, it turned upside-down, and the keel was sticking up out of the water.

    If anyone cares.
