Under the Announcements it says that all men must register with Selective Service when they reach 18? What is that?
Bear in mind I'm Canadian so be nice if this is a stupid question.
Try to use "sincere commendation" in your reply :D

The U.S. doesn't have a draft into the military, but they want to know where all the people are that they might one day wish to draft. So you have to register, and you have to let them know when you move. Of course, we all have social security numbers, and George Bush listens in on our phone calls, so you'd think they'd know how old we are and where we live. But no joy.

Cool, thanks.
We don't have anything like that here. Seems a mite stalkerish to me.
I give you an "N" for needs work. I feel you were sincere in your reply but I"m not sold on the commendation portion. :-)

I write in code, like God. In this case, you take every third letter, translate it to its Latin equivalent, with a resulting sentence that -- in english -- says, "You're cute as the brass buttons on a bug's great coat". Or something like that, my Latin's not too good.
And I'm a drittle lunk. ;-)

Thanks, Elsewhere. If you have access to KM's, then does that mean you can log in on JW dating sites and blogs, etc? Don't they ask security questions from the KM's sometimes?
Of course, we all have social security numbers, and George Bush listens in on our phone calls, so you'd think they'd know how old we are and where we live. But no joy.

I heard today that the prez is trying to get permission to log all websites US citizens view for a two year period. He claims this is to help him find terrorists and cut down on child pornography. John Dean says beware, he is taking away your liberties and freedoms and yes, he can become a dictator.

I can't believe I never noticed how hoaky this stuff sounded years ago. Consider the supposed householder's comments on a witness visit: "They listened to me with great compassion, and when they were leaving, I felt so much better that I agreed to another visit." Have you ever met anyone who talks like this? I sure as hell haven't. I also noticed a spot in the schedule for "donation acknowledgments." I don't remember such a thing when I went--something about not letting your right hand know what your left hand is doing.

In the good old days they used to be much better for litter-tray paper, but then they changed the paper to stuff with a bit more shine. Now it runs off more.
I vote they go back to a more absorbant resource!

Now that Else has give us a copy of June's KM, FHN, maybe we can all find the secret password that'll get us into those sites. LOL Gee, that'll be fun....or not. I get bored pretty easy and those poor little dubbers just aren't that amusing most of the time.
LOL, LT. Too bad the one good use for the KM has been ruined.
