Kevin Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Marc , The news here has been saying that the Mexican drug war is getting big and spreading across borders . Any comment ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 It is the worst I have ever seen it in Mexico between Federales and the cartels. There have been huge gun fights just south of the border, so it does not surprise me that it would go north. I have not heard of any specific incidents, though, in the US.

Lea Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I've been thinking about this a lot myself. It's scary and sad on so many levels. And ditto what Kevin said Marc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Thank you, I will be careful. I am not as worried about the cartels as I am about the local Blood set. They want to kill a cop because the PD just south of my area shot and killed one of their guys who was shooting at them. Their department and mine have been upping our enforcement on them lately due to complaints of intimidation, narco sales, and an increase in violence. This could be a busy summer.

Shawna Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 My nephew is a cop in Tucson, 2 hours from the Mexican border. The drug runners there have been laying out traps for cops, calling 911 and then sitting in wait for them, and have killed a couple of them that way. It's a hugely tough thing to digest, knowing he's out there responding to calls not knowing what's around the bend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Don't matter and really don't care at all, but just curious; where do 2 and a half thousand posts go when they no longer appear beneath one's name? Edited March 9, 2009 by Guest .. and don't tell me they go beneath Edna's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'd hazard to guess and somewhat ponder, down to the no-zip sorting bin's file cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Don't matter and really don't care at all, but just curious; where do 2 and a half thousand posts go when they no longer appear beneath one's name? Have some of your posts gone AWOL? I've never heard of that happening. How odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcM Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 They were sent to a bank that will remain unnamed in order to make up for their poorly managing their posts, and thus loosing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 that is really strange, Ron. Are you talking about your own posts? you've been robbed? This is a question for Nikos, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Yeah, I had about 5600 posts about two months ago and I recently noticed I am back to 3 grand and some change. I just wondered how they go away. I honestly do not care ... they don't matter in the big scheme of things. I really like Marc's answer though and will accept that as the fact. I am only doing my socially consciencious part to bring equity to this world. Why should I enjoy a large amount of posts, when there are those who have very few.

edna Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 It happened once when the server crashed... it ate hundreds of posts from many songfactors... Edited by Steel2Velvet on 03/09/09 02:24 AM. Reason for edit: .. and don't tell me they go beneath Edna's. I would gladly share my zillion posts with you or with other songfactors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 question for native speakers: does "biweekly", "bimonthly" etc mean "twice a week (/month)" or "every two weeks (months)"? googling I found contradictory results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 "biweekly", "bimonthly" "every two weeks (months)"? That's the way I've always interpreted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 It means both. But for no particular reason at all I think of "every two months/weeks/years" first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 It means both. great, that just asks for misunderstandings, doesn't it? ah well, at least it seems it's mostly used in the "every two..." sense thanks for your answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 It means a week that can go both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 great, that just asks for misunderstandings, doesn't it? ah well, at least it seems it's mostly used in the "every two..." sense thanks for your answers It surely does ask for misunderstandings. Doctors use the two interchangably in writing prescriptions, and it's up to us to interpret which he means, which is usually easy, but what about the time it's not? I make more calls to verify intent than you can shake a stick at. Oh, and in the medical world bi-weekly = twice weekly most often, exactly the opposite of what it should. They should bring back the fortnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJonSurfer Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Biweekly and bimonthly are technically two different things. Take the mortgage business for example: If you pay monthly, you pay 12 times per year. If you pay bimonthly then you pay twice a month or 24 times a year. If you pay biweekly you pay every two weeks or 26 times per year. (52 weeks divided by 2 = 26). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
