This blachan chili, if you could figure out how to ship it cheaply to me :)

My brother last time shipped some stuff to me, shipping fees of $70++ were way more than the stuff worth.

Maximum facepalm -_-

Flying to Seattle on 6 May 2014!

LOL, I'm just the investigator level master (or should I say master level? ;) )

The Backstreet Boys are in London, UK at the mo, doing promo for their documentary "Show 'Em What You're Made Of". The movie will have its European premiere tonight.

And some of my friends went there and yesterday they were searching for the hotel the Boys' are staying in.

We were trying to help them with it, looking through pictures posted by fans.

And somebody posted this picture and it was enough for me to find the right hotel :P

She was nuttin but a love note being passed around in a middle school classroom, ya ancient geezer......

1. We cannot stand it, oj nie. Of all people to blow P-math, Niki-B, ma'am!

2. What about studying P-math as a refresher course, huh ma'am?

How dare you use the word "blow" in the same sentence with the word "Niki"!?!

Steve - you've inspired me to put a backgammon set on my wishlist for the next holiday. I remember my nanny had one and we had one or two around the house, but they must have gone missing over the years.

Awesome, now buy me a cross bow...... :)
