@KKat
why do south american latinos refer to others as SA....what does this mean?
Sorry for late response Kat, been working long hours two last couple of days.
Its actually Mexican slang
or essaye(pronounced SA) means friend in spanish
da pools' correct although the spanish word for friend is "Amigo" its better translated as "mate" or in American English, "hommie" or "dude."
Not sure of spelling, but "Ora Laaaeeee!" Translates into "right on"
Hey PS.
@Basket: dip your toe in the water then take the plunge.
Anyway, catching up on the Japanese tragedy, Shabu land is a tragedy reaching epic proportions. Kinda more dramtic when you see the wreckage in an orderly, developed society. Fuckin Hell!!! Didn't realize how bad it was getting until I saw CNN in a patients room.
I've been worried about the reactors. If those readioactive long lasting isotopes get in the upper atmosphere, we're down wind, could be carried to our golden shores.

I remember people were still sketched about chernobyl when i was in Europe Summer of 86'. There are 3 or possible more chernobyls developing.
Spun be glowing in the dark.

time for the iodine pills.
@ Ructions and all other Paddys, Happy St. Patricks Day in advance. May it be safe and festive. St. Patrick, I believe, was enslaved by the Irish, escaped his enslavement and then returned to Ireland to banish The Snakes from the island and help rather than condemn his former captors. I think this is a lesson of hope, action, and forgiveness for all of us.
