  1. I have recently read that the US government is preparing for his death :)) but I was not expecting it to be so soon. If its not true, it would not be the first time we hear false statements about Castro's death.

  2. wow. I never heard of this before either. Amazing what some people are capable of doing to their own children.

    (my first thought was...I wish I knew of the procedure cause I really don't like my big size..)

  3. Like others have said....I would wait 'til she gets here and then take her to the jewelers///mall ..>> let her choose the set she likes... That is what we did and it was still a special time even if there was no surprise.

  4. This is genius. People will still tip. Not all, but some.

    You are sooo right. My brother mows the lawn for 3 of my parents neighbors for free because they are old and he just gets along with them and wants to help them. Once in a while they do give him around 5 dollars. He refuses to take them and they put it in his pocket or give them to my other brother to hand it to him... :lol:

  5. I can't open the link either.

    Man offers free lawn mowing to lose weight

    Fri Jul 7, 7:57 AM ET

    ####### RAPIDS, Minn. - A local man who has struggled to lose weight is hoping a lawn mower will help him shed between 30 and 50 pounds.

    After working up quite a sweat mowing his own lawn this summer, Darrell Nelson thought that he could get a good workout by mowing lawns for other people as well.

    So, on the Web site Craig's List, he placed an ad offering to mow lawns for free.

    He figures if he eats better and mows a lawn per day nearly every day of the week, he will be able to keep an exercise program going. He said he has a hard time keeping commitments to himself, but he will stick to commitments he makes to others.

    "This is no joke or gimmick," he wrote on the Web site. "I need to lose weight. I have struggled on sticking to exercise programs, including just walking, for quite a while now."

    Nelson is a former power lifter who's about 5-foot-9 and 258 pounds. Since news of his ad spread, he has fielded calls from the media, strangers — even some women who have asked him out on dates.

    "My life has been turned upside down, man, unbelievable," he said. "I was planning on doing five lawns: Mine plus four others. Now, I'm doing six lawns: Mine plus five others. ... I was just trying to do some yards and lose some weight, and it just — voila — away it went."
