Learn. Context is important for understanding. Many important things
happened before 1985.

You and quite a few other people. But then, I don't give a rat's a**
about the insides of a car, but it is a good idea for me to have a
general knowledge. And because I do, it is easier for me to talk to a
mechanic when something goes wrong.

Alot of people- from those who believe Rose's gambling exploits should
not keep him out of the Hall of Fame, to those who say you shouldn't
even say his name in the general vicinity...

Don't want to hear it- I spent 9 years in band myself, including a year
at Kahuku High School in Hawaii- that year they were 8th in the nation
and I got more sunburn (being a fish-belly white freckly haole girl)
than you can peel at!

Dab some unsweetened ice tea or white vinegar on it- it will help take
the sting out. A make sure you apply and re-apply sunscreen next time!

Hey- anyone besides me had portagee sausage?
