The old axiom of believing nothing you hear and only half what you see no longer applies.

Not far north of HH is a park called Donnelley Wildlife Management Area. It is along Hwy 17. I've seen spoonbills, egrets, herons, wading birds like sandpipers, and eagles there. Also lots of large alligators. If you take a drive over to Savanah there is a very nice train museum with an operating turntable.

Enjoy your trip!

It's all relative -- a piece of change, maybe not. A 100.00 bill definitely! A beautiful woman, maybe just fall down beside her hoping neither of you get up!

Great marketing, poor cash-flow management -- they still lose money!

I signed up for one of those a few years ago. I can't remember the details but all that was required was to sign a postcard and return it. I think I received a grand sum of around 13.00!

Sam's just got in a new version of the Epson -- pretty basic model but the price is right -- 179.98.

Many years ago I worked as an apprentice in a manufacturing jewelry shop. We made jewelry as well as set stones and sold high-end jewelry. One day I asked the owner of the shop why someone would pay 1200.00 for a gold Rolex when we also sold gold-plated Rolexes for 350.00. I told him they were indistinguishable and no one would know the difference. He replied, oh, but the owner would. (Before someone chimes in that Rolex never made gold-plated watches, you need to check the facts -- they did). As you can see, the prices reflect prices from about sixty years ago before the US went off the gold standard. In fact that happened while I worked at the shop and gold was 38.00 an ounce one day and something like 375.00 a day later.

That's for one life -- you get 8 more 30-day warranties.

Some schools have blockers set up so unwanted content can't be accessed by students.

Interesting: The ingredient in the bag of Turkey testicles is Chicken testicles! I can see it now -- mom sends her 12-year-old to the store to buy Turkey testicles and comes home with this. The kid gets raked over the coals for getting chicken, not turkey!

I believe in any situation the Franklin formula should be used -- take a sheet of paper, draw a line down the center, and in one column list all the negatives of the thing in question, and in the other list all the positives. I believe that while the UHH negative column will have its share of entries, the positive side will be much longer. There are smart, knowledgeable people on this forum who are willing to give their time to educate, encourage, and direct others, and to "throw out the baby with the bath water" is a disservice to those individuals. Should you choose to stay, I suggest you post some helpful commentary that is not (as you claim vitriolic) to help balance the scale.

I'm not sure why I and others are commenting on this post since if he is sincere about departing, he will never see our response.

By The Way, I am made from sterner stuff. Of course, you are -- you're from Brooklyn!

Thanks again everyone for the suggestions. I did decide to get the z40 f2 (in fact it arrived today). It looks small enough and it gets great reviews.

We defeated Germany and helped to rebuild it into a World power, We defeated Japan and helped rebuild it into a World power. We spend billions on billions to rebuild and prop up countries, yet what have we done for the "Banana Republics"? We have taken their labor and resources and not given them back an equitable return.

While I am against i*****l i*********n, we need to understand where and why it is as it is. We need to modify our controls so that we can deal with the immigration problem in a positive manner.

If we need to, why not set up a city near the border to house immigrants for six months to a year? During this time we would do due diligence to ensure their status and determine if they should be allowed citizenship. This would not be a free ride. They would be required to learn some English, understand our laws and Constitution, and learn a sk**l that would be marketable in the US. They also would receive minimal assistance and be required to work within the temporary community as laborers, cleaners, and anything else that would assist in their upkeep. When they are properly vetted, but before they have completed the other requirements they could receive work visas and be allowed to leave the immigration city for work only.

Some may ask why the requirements when people from Africa, Europe, and Asia do not have to go through such scrutiny and training - I'm talking about i******s. I do not endorse our present policy of just letting anyone into the country. They need to meet specific requirements and if they do not, they should be quarantined until a determination of their worth to our society can be established.

Don't be fooled, we need immigration -- the legal kind. Three and a half million Americans die off each year and while the birthrate is very slightly higher, I expect that to change in the next ten to twenty years as the baby-boom generation dies off. The birthrate in the US is in a constant decline (with a slight bump up in 2020, most likely due to C****-** and people staying in more). Without immigration, we will be a diminishing society.
