I'm with you Wheels. I've got the added annoyance of not being a fan of his. He was certainly a musical genius, but he had some serious mental health issues. While the courts acquitted him of child molestation, they did not declare him innocent. He also settled with another child/family. An innocent person does not settle charges like that. JMO

HELLO Wheels: Me too; Do you know I live from 5 or 10 minutes to Michel's family and the traffic in the street is crazy. The city is Encino and we have a famous street called Ventura bld. and the fans and Media is really really crazy. But you know "I understand them" but you know I like a lot "BILLY "...................................Yeeeeeeyyyyyyy

I hope I'm not offending anyone by saying I am so sick of the Michael Jackson coverage that I am not even watching the news anymore. The internet is just as bad but at least I can ignore most of it. Since so many people are interested still I can understand when they report something new like the decision to have a memorial service for his fans but for crying out loud they are issuing endless stories of speculation and non-news.

I keep wondering what happened to all the stories we usually consider news? Have all the world leaders, politicians and criminals in the world sat down to watch this spectacle and therefore there is no other news? Is Ahmadinejad getting down to Thriller? Has Kim Jong Il put on a white glove?

Thanks, Wheels. Today I am exhausted and I really don't want to work. I am probably going to come in tomorrow, too, just to catch up.

Hi Wheels. I'm fine. Just logging on this site was rather strange earlier today. But I guess it corrected itself.

Hi Maiden. How are you?

Bug, Completing the entire course in only seven months must make for some very fast paced classes. It can't be easy working a full day and taking intense classes at night. We're all really proud of you.

7 months.

Final on Thursday? Good grief they must be cramming a lot of information into you guys fast. At that rate heads really will 'splode. This sounds like one of those courses of study where you can't miss even one class or you'll find yourself way behind. Better buy a bottle of vitamins. I forgot - how long is the entire course?

I've 'sploded. Final on Thursday. Buried under paperwork here at the Mighty Campus Health Center.

Calgon, take me awaaaay!!

And my sister who lives in Arkansas goes home with several rings of pickled bolonga.

Sounds like when my uncle comes here. He leaves with a box filled with Polly-O Mozzarella cheese LOL When my dad comes home from CA, he comes home with packages of salami he likes from out there LOL

I took a friend to the airport this morning and took her two suitcases to the car. They were unbelievably heavy and I had to laugh when she told me they were full of sweetcorn from her parents farm packed with ice packs. ha...only in Iowa.

I'm glad Manny feels better and that T-Gal's pup didn't get traumatized.

I think every station is covering Michael Jackson. Takes ya back in time.

And Scarlet...after school is done, are you thinking about switching jobs? I can't remember if you had mentioned. I can't picture Barb letting you get away.

Manny's feeling much better. He's even forgetting his leg hurts and is running. Silly dog :)
