This is from a movie that might make you look at him differently as well: www.youtube.com/watch

I'm sure it was a prepared skit. He wouldn't really be like that!

Love these!:) The purse on the console of the aircraft is the most subtle and my favorite!

I know what that feels like, it's the only time my cheeks turn red, when i Know people are watching me and judging me. It reminds me of a scene from a movie. I believe we all can feel that pain:P

You should see his episode in Ricky Gervais's "Extras." You'll never look at him the same way again.

I agree, most of us don't really need anything, but I think that creates a couple of unusual challenge. We don't have much and know others don't either. So to give might create the feeling in the person receiving the gift that they are obligated to reciprocate and that of course creates guilt. And the second challenge is that people do need to feel loved and appreciated. I think we need to focus on heartfelt cards or even emails. Christine at my job told me at work today in a meeting that she would not leave her dog with me if she needed a babysitter. Later she sent me a really nice email that made me feel appreciated and cared for. She also told me that she would not trust anyone with her "fur baby" not just me)

oh that's so sad. I think the little drummer boy is a dumb song anyways.

I saw this documentary, too, and thought of a couple I know who decided against the implant for their newborn.

Two years later they decided to proceed, but the delay meant diminished success: His brain doesn't perfectly process sound have, and his speech will never be quite right because of the missed 2-year window of opportunity. His parents can understand all he says, but I never could.

It must be a horrifying decision, but I've never grasped the concept of deaf culture, though I understand ASL is a beautifully expressive language

re: Another Birthday Feed

That's awesome. I love it when I get to celebrate my birthday for a whole week or even two. I prefer to just use the "it's my birthday" excuse to do all kinds of fun things on and around my birthday. You can convince people to do things with you just because your birthday is close. The conversation usually goes something like this. "Hey you want to go to the club on friday?" "It's kinda like a birthday celebration type thing!" They don't want to decline because they think this is your only birthday event. The trick is only use it on on group of friends at a time. ;)

re: Wow, Thirty-Nine Miles To The Gallon!

That is awesome. When we bought our current car a few years ago (Honda Accord) gas mileage was not an issue, but now we see how valuable that is!

re: Wow, Thirty-Nine Miles To The Gallon!

willburns1 — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:34:47 GMT

That is pretty cool I wish my car had that feature. My jeep gets like 12 mile a gallon it is awful. I can't take it on trips because one it's too loud and uncomfortable and it only get like 15 or so gallons highway. So yeah I need a new car. Something that gets over 20 would be nice.

re: Anyone Else Hate Budget Rent A Car

I don't think that we have ever used them, but thanks for the heads up, definitely won't rent from them in the future.

Well I think the problem might not be they need to make exceptions because people can always find exceptions to why they didn't do something. Maybe they just need to make the punishment less severe penalty. Like they only charge you for the gas and maybe the time it costs them to pay someone to fill it up.
