Typed my name into a Person search and found a lot of info on my realatives, their ages, my age(s) (some were wrong). I think that somehow I should have the right to have this stuff stay private.

You ever gonna "come out from among them", or if not, perhaps you'll also have "their end" shall be according to "their works" noted in 2Cor 11:15; Their end (noted in Heb 7:23, not allowed to continue the human race, by reason of "death")?

How much time expires do you suppose you have?

Do you really believe life + death ends with life?

Anybody know why some of my backup copies of my DVD's won't play in my DVD player, but they will play on my computer. Do I need a newer DVD player? I am using high quality, name brand blank DVD's to backup.

I have a squirrel (or squirrels) in an inaccessible part of my attic. I can hear it running around above the 2nd floor ceiling in my 50-year-old cape-cod-style house. I have two small attics with sloping ceilings on the sides of the bedrooms upstairs, if you can imagine what I mean. However, there is apparently another small attic above the 2nd floor ceiling, inaccessible from the inside.

A few months ago, I heard one up there. I borrowed an extension ladder, removed the triangular gable vent at one end of the house (looks like this: http://www.architecturaldepot.com/pc/FTRLV48X12/gable-vent-triangle/), and found that the screen previously installed was inadequate; an animal that could fit through the aluminum louvers could easily push the screen out of the way because it was not very secure. I installed new metal screening and stapled it in.

Squirrels are back. I have no idea how they're getting in. How do I get rid of them? Do those high pitch sound things work?

Mother seeks $100 million in son’s death

By Phil Ray, pray@altoonamirror.com




HOLLIDAYSBURG — The mother of a man killed in a triple homicide last year plans to sue the federal government for $100 million, court documents state.

Sandra Miller of Altoona is the mother of Stephen Heiss, who died Aug. 28, 2005.

Miguel Padilla was convicted and received death sentences this month for killing Alfred Mignogna, owner of the United Veterans Association building; Fredrick Rickabaugh Sr., UVA doorman; and Heiss, a patron.

The jury wasn’t told that Padilla is an illegal alien.

The civil lawsuit notice, filed by attorney Art Cohen of Hollidaysburg, blames the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for allowing Padilla to remain in the United States.

Padilla, 27, came to America as a young boy with his mother and brothers to escape an alcoholic father.

He graduated from Penn Cambria High School but never became a U.S. citizen.

He was involved in a stabbing incident in which the victim was his then-father-in-law.

ICE never took Padilla into custody or attempted to deport him.

U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, R-9th District, spoke of the case on the House floor, saying ICE did nothing about Padilla.

Most of the money sought is for punitive damages because the government did not take any action that could have prevented the homicides.

An attorney with ICE declined comment Wednesday. ICE has asked Cohen to provide it with more details concerning the Padilla case.

If you tell me that you believe in heaven and people like Hitler, as long as they confessed their sins before they die might be there. I wouldn't think that's heaven. Not to mention, so many of the self-righteous bigots claim to be going there, and I'd rather not deal with them... so doesn't sound too heavenly to me.

My son is nearly 8 months old and is nursed after his bath before he gets a story then laid to bed. I don't know why but I'm skeptical about not being there for his bedtime routine. It's probably more traumatizing for me then it will be for him. I would just like to know other mom's feelings and when was the first time they weren't there for bedtime. Thanks !

Do you think maybe someday the America will wake up?

Those were different times. We live in todays world! You cant compare the times of pilgrims to todays illegal immigrants. We have different laws. A different country. Everything is different. Is it so hard to understand that ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL! Who cares about history? Who cares if the mexicans claim they use to own Texas. Guess what? They dont NOW!!!!!!!!!The truth of it all is that illegal is illegal. Its that simple. Start acting like you really want to be an American by following our laws, and shame on you all who support crimianl activity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If a female, who online games with your partner, and who you always thought was just his friend, sent him an email like this, after meeting you both for the first time, what would you do?

“I just wanted to thank you again for having me, it was great to meet you finally :) and I had a great time! (hope you did too?) I can't remember the last time I talked so much or for so long, although I am afraid I lack the people skills to talk very well to more than 1 person at a time, and was worried I was leaving you out too much, Jane is more chatty so tends to steal the spotlight, she’s nice tho, I like her. I kept wishing I could talk to make sure you
were ok when you were being quiet, I never did work out if you were feeling left out, or just tired or if you just like to listen, or if
you wished I would go home so we could play the game lol ;) I almost called you by your character name a few times too *blush* ooops! Hope I didn't cause any trouble!"

Grrrrrrr...

At the Premier last night she tried to read me, Karen Walker gave me a ride there and when we stepped out of the Limo, she had the nerve to ask why I was wearing that same old dress again. I was getting to go off on her when Karen (who of course was drunk off her ***) slipped and fell face first on the Red Carpet after I help her up, Joan was gone, I never did get to read her. What is wrong with her?
