  my poor mum fell over on sunday and broke her hip.

  she was taken to hospital and yesterday had an operation to place a pin in the joint.

  this was obviously a worrying time for all concerned and my dad let us all know what was going on.

  we feed info to authorities who chase you, we warn off potiential converts by directing them to the real truth.

  hello i am relatively new here, and i apologise for my english in advance.. this is a very irrelevant and probably very stupid question: what does the word "borg" mean, or where does it come from?

  i understand it's used for the organisation, but i don't get why.. also, where does "kool aid" come from?.

  thanks and sorry again!.

  Mall Cop, sorry to hear you are having health problems. Glad to see you are getting a Bovine valve. That means you will not have to be on blood thinning medication such as coumadin. My brother in law has had a mental valve for over 25 years and has not had any problems. Hope everything goes well with you. Isn't great to have surgeries that can help us with our problems. I had a brain aneurysm in 1997.It was repaired by going through my femoral artey and into my brain where they repaired it with platinum coils. I have not had any problems since them. I will be thinking of you on Thrusday. Keep us informed on your progress.

  I love that version of the song too. I had never heard it until I started listening to Pandora on Gordon Lightfoot's Station.

  I remember at an old assembly hall where we worked and if I remember right, we brought in homemade pies to sell. Did anyone do that or am I dreaming? (W. Wash)

  JWdaughter, I remember doing that back in the 60s-70s.
