4 hours of Guitar Hero III with 2 other couples and their kids!!
x
Thanks - He actually wants guitar lessons (sm)
I think we are going to have to work on finding other children who are interested in the same things as him. He has many interests, just not team sports or sports involving a ball. He does have some interest in roller hockey though...so I think I will try to encourage that
Suggestion on 2nd guitar
There is a rechargable battery pack that you can get for the black guitar but is NOT available for the white guitar. It's about $14-20 and well worth it! The wireless guitars eat batteries and even run them down when they are powered off and not running. We now remove them from the guitar whenever we aren't playing.
...trying to learn like cooking or guitar, etc.?? nm

They may be Guitar Heros, not the other kind! nm

She is my new hero. sm
Natalie on Winehouse as recorded to People Magazone: "On the seriousness of Winehouse's troubles, Cole – who over the years has battled her own substance-abuse problems, successfully – observes, "I mean, she could die. This isn't something that's cute and fun just to throw around in the press. The girl really has a problem, and I think for those of us who have been in the business long enough, we know the sacrifice it takes. This is about discipline and hard work, and you don't get to just do your drugs and go onstage and get rewarded."
My hero's
1. The military - They volunteer to risk their lives knowing they will be deployed to dangerous regions so that we can be free (although I am prior military I have never considered myself to be a hero back then, but then again we weren't fighting the same enemies. Back then Russia was our biggest enemy - nothing compared to what soldiers go through now).
2. Police & fireman. They too risk their lives everyday for us.
It sure is hard to find honest, trustworthy and honorable people now. Not everyone in the professions I listed above have those qualities you mention, but out of any profession I would say them. Teachers are another profession I would look up to. I don't consider them hero's, but I do find most of them to be honest and trustworthy.
Thanks you are my hero. I am new at this - only 30 years or so LOL
Some day I will actually get it.

A dog came out of nowhere and stopped a knife-wielding robber from accosting a mother and her young son on Monday afternoon. (Pet Pulse Illustration by Tim Mattson)
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- The wandering 65-pound Pit Bull mix might have seemed menacing to some passerby, but one woman will always remember him as her "guardian angel."
The dog, which authorities think is lost and not a stray, successfully thwarted a robbery attack on a mother and her 2-year-old son, who were held at knifepoint Monday afternoon.
The Florida woman, who has been identified by authorities simply as "Angela," was leaving a playground with her toddler son in Port Charlotte when a man approached her in the parking lot with a knife and told her not to make any noise or sudden movements.
Angela didn't have to do either to protect herself and her child -- a dog mysteriously ran to the scene and charged the man, who quickly fled.
"I don't think the dog physically attacked the man, but he went at him and was showing signs of aggression, just baring his teeth and growling and barking. It was clear he was trying to defend this woman," Animal Control Lt. Brian Jones told Pet Pulse.
"I don't know what this man's intentions were, but it is very possible this dog saved her life."
The exceptional part of the story, Jones said, is that the dog had never met or even seen the people it quickly jumped to defend.
"You hear about family dogs protecting their owners, but this dog had nothing to do with this woman or her kid," Jones said. "He was like her guardian angel."
After the alleged thief ran away, Angela quickly placed her son, Jordan, in the car and tried to drive off. Before she could, though, the dog jumped into her backseat, waiting with her for the police and animal control officers to arrive at the scene.
The dog was transported to a local shelter and if his owners don't step forward within five days, Jones said, Angela and her family plan to adopt the savior she named "Angel."
Animal control officers and shelter workers believe Angel is lost, and not a stray, because of his good health, sturdy weight and mild temperament.
"It's funny, that someone's irresponsibility could have saved someone's life," Jones said of Angel's possible owners.
For Angela, it doesn't matter where the dog came from, just that he was there when she needed him most.
"I don't know what his [the thief's] intentions were -- I don't know why he did it, but I'm glad that -- we call him Angel -- I'm glad that Angel showed up because I don't know what would have happened," Angela told NBC2 News.
For a small town with a population of 46,452, animal control officers were kept busy Monday afternoon. Jones says they department also responded to a report about a boa constrictor in a church parking lot.
The snake found its way into a car engine and was able to be removed without being harmed. It took three people to move the massive, seemingly random placed snake.
"It's funny, because we aren't a big place," he said of the Gulf Coast town. "And we can go for four or five months without the media contacting us about a story. It's been a busy week."
Officers from the responding county sheriff's office canvased the area and were unable to locate the suspect described as being in his 20s, tall and dark haired.

According to Dave Ramsey, my hero...sm
He says if you have cards you have paid off or no longer use, you need to call and write the credit card company and let them know that you want the account closed. And that you need to keep checking with those institutions to make sure they have actually done what you asked them to do. IMO, I would do the same thing..cancel them completely and then cut them up to boot. Hope this helps.
oh my God - you're my hero Xanax .
Way to go
That guy, the dog's owner, was Marcus Luttrell, a war hero
author of Lone Survivor. He was the lone survivor of his Navy Seal team on a mission in Afghanistan. This dog was given to him during his rehabilitation to help with recovery when he came home. It just makes me sick!
Anybody hooked on the PBS War series?
it's so horrifyingly fascinating and sad. It has a way of taking you back to that time. I had no idea how much the public was lied to by the media about what was going on. I hear it's doing great in the ratings.
Not hooked, but I saw it last night and it was very - sm
interesting. Never really knew that much about WWII. Not surprized the US government lied about stuff back then. Guess some things will never change.
Ah, that hooked totally just did not fly
with the question of the medicine. This medicine is for my grown daughter and she is having a difficult time and just wondering if anyone ran up against the same. Thanks.
I could easily get hooked too. That is why I
do not watch those shopping channels anymore.
Anyone else hooked on Project Runway?
Finale is tonight! Who do you think will win? I think it will be and want it to be Michael. 
Yes! love it!! I got hooked last year!
I don't agree with the polygamy lifestyle either, but never seen it before. Maybe that is why it is so fascinating!!
I hooked up with my dear friend after 30 yrs
She was my first roommate - We lost contact because both our phone #s were and still are nonpublished for 40 years.......her son is my godson - we all rehooked up, I flew to see them in the mountains - it was TRULY LIKE 30 years HAD NOT PASSED! Yes, we all look older but it was like we just picked up where we had left off. It was a great feeling. And her son and I see each other 4-5 times a year, he and his children stay here regularly.
Hope you find the same!!! Old good friends are hard to replace.....
Can't afford to be hooked to anything, except typing right now!!!

I love them too...a friend of mine got me hooked..
I am now on 9...Stephanie Plum is a great character. I love the East Coast references because I grew up in Philly, so TastyKakes have a special place in my heart!
Does anyone bead? Just tried it and I'm hooked!! Any good web sites? Thanks. nm

I'm hooked on this show. Was surprised it didn't
Yeah and I can't wait! I got hooked on Jericho and
was sooo disappointed when they canceled it. It didn't just go on hiatus, they flat out canceled it. But, thanks to many, many fans and sending all those NUTS, it's going to be back on at least for another 7 episodes. I hope they get great ratings so they will write more episodes. I was bummed out that Gerald McRaney didn't want to stick around. Oh well, he'll just have to be fondly remembered.
Does anyone read the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum books? I am hooked! sm
My MIL gave me the first three and said I would love them. I did but too much because I stayed up until 3 last night to finish the last one! I went out today and bought 4 through 13! I feel like a junkie but I absolutely love them!
