aug. 29, 2003 a 15-year-old italian who hitchhiked to sweden in search of a girl he met on holiday got a helping hand from police who drove him the last stretch of his journey on thursday, swedish media reported.. the starry-eyed italian was so infatuated with a 17-year-old swedish girl he met in the united states earlier this summer that he left milan to hitchhike the 1,240 miles to the stockholm suburb of taeby.. but before he could reach his goal police were called to a gas station in the small swedish town of linkoeping, where a "poorly dressed" boy who "looked a little confused" had been observed.. "he said he wanted to go to stockholm to see his flame who lives in stockholm," a local police duty officer, mikael kinnaa, told the news agency tt.. after running an identity check, police found that the teen had been reported missing by his parents, and that the young girl of his dreams did indeed live in taeby and knew him.. however, she had not actually expected him to visit.. swedish social services would normally have taken the teen into their charge, but the swedish father called the boy's father in italy, and they agreed to let him spend time with the girl.. police, touched by this display of southern passion, drove the young romeo the last 110 miles to stockholm early thursday, where he finally set eyes on his juliet again.. but this romeo's love turned out to be unrequited, and within a few hours the swedish family unceremoniously bundled the broken-hearted latin lover onto a plane back home to milan.

i debated about posting this, because it's embarrassing but i decided to do it just in case anyone else falls for this one.. i have 3 websites where i market nutritional supplements, and i get thousands of dollars in orders each month.

at the end of july, i got a very large order ($10,500) for one of the products.

i filled the order using the credit card numbers provided by the customer.

I too run a number of commercial websites and have lost many many thousands due to credit card fraud. It really stinks.

she is going to take all his money.

Bendrr, that reminds of the time I was in Alabama at a bar and I told a few redneck jokes to my friends. We all thought they were pretty funny but apparently this one particular local took exception 'cause when I got up to visit the men's room, he followed me in! Got right up in my face and was pretty pissed to say the least! He got so worked up he actually pulled a razor on me!

I believe he would have cut me too if he'd found a place to plug it in.

Friends

the dictionary defines a friend as a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.

this definition seems fair enough, but at what point do you really know someone, and how much trust is needed?

i think everyones ideas of what a friend should be like are broad.

There's no friend as good as a colored friend.

A tourist walked into a curio shop in San Francisco. Looking around at the
exotics, he noticed a very lifelike, life-sized bronze statue of a rat. It
had no price tag, but it was so striking he decided he must have it.

He asked the owner, "How much for the bronze rat?"

"Twelve dollars for the rat. One hundred dollars for the story," said the
owner.

The tourist gave the man twelve dollars. "I'll take the rat. You can keep
the story."

As he walked down the street carrying his bronze rat, he noticed that a
few real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and they were following
him down the street. This was disconcerting.

He began trotting. Within a couple of blocks, the herd of rats had grown
to hundreds, and they were squealing.

He ran toward the bay. He looked around and saw that the rats now
numbered in the MILLIONS, they were squealing loudly, and they were coming toward
him fast.

Scared, he ran to the edge of the bay and threw the bronze rat as far out
into the bay as he could.

Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the bay after it, and they
all drowned.

The man walked back to the curio shop. "Aha," said the owner, "you have
come back for the story?"...

"No," said the man. "I came back to see if you have a bronze Ted Jaracz"
