Game 3 in just a moment 
[Becks] Wednesday, June 02, 2010 12:22:14 PM 
Yeah, our group will be tough, NZ have already been written off by many, but I think we will cause problems for those teams. England does have a tradition of getting eliminated early, so you guys could well cause an upset I'm looking forward to the friendly against you guys this weekend, we're getting up early on saturday morning to watch it.

Thats a pretty tough group. Slovakia was first in our qualifiyng group. Italy is always a danger, and Paraguay are far from being write offs too. Well, you will have the same advantage that we do, anyway - Italy is usualy a bit to confident for their own good, and that usualy works against them.

Anyway, we have England, Algeria and the United States (tough luck Guido - maybe if youre good boys we will let you have the second place), and I really hope we can beat England, since they have a wonderfull tradition of getting eliminated in the first round.

Yup. Youre playing against us. We will see - I dont know much about your team, but its a match between two teams who qualified for the cup, so no opponent will be easy.

LOL Strat! We have Italy, Slovakia and Paraguay. We played Italy in a friendly 1-2 years ago and they only beat us in extra time. We just beat Serbia in a friendly a few days ago too, they're ranked 15th we're 78th LOL!!! So we're doing well in the friendly stages. I hope you guys do well too!  Who's in your group? 
Hey! I just realised! We're playing you guys (Slovenia) in a friendly this weekend! LOL!

As you say, here's hoping. You will certainly be in my thoughts, Joe. Been in many a country when the politics just went south in a big way. Strangely enough, it is usually around a major event like the WC or the Olympics. Sending good vibes your way that it not only calms down but STAYS calm.

Vail, I am so glad you tell me this. Craig tried to order me a copy as a surprise gift but I found out about it and now I'm like a kid before Christmas.. I keep harassing the postman because it should be arriving pretty much any day now.

Becks & Guido, I will gladly keep you up to date with the WC. Thankfully politically things have sort of been ok. There have been a lot of major striking for higher wages strategically done in a few weeks leading up to the WC but they came to an agreement so that seems to be ok. 
I believe there is a more visual presence of police force etc but I think it will be ok. I pray that it will be. The government is calling for everyone to just chill out and 'behave' during the cup. Lets hope they do.

Ah, KEWL, Joe! Do keep us posted as to any pertinent "inside" info on the games. I am one of a handful of Americans who actually enjoys watching the WC. Alas, like ice hockey, they really don't televise much (if any) of the games here. Sometimes I luck out and can see it on the Spanish channels but it is hit-or-miss.

Speaking of "miss," I noticed and missed ya! Wondering about the political situation, in fact. Things calm down, I hope? Take care of yourself and the family.

Becks, it is so cool here! The spirit is so cool! We've got everyone with their supporting country flags flying and every friday the whole country is wearing our national team's jersey. The kids are all hyped up and at school they've got a little count-down board in the classroom. Some of the teams are arriving already and it is such a festive feeling.

I was offline for a few days (glad you all missed me so much lol) I got back today and everything is overflowing! Spending the morning getting all my mail etc sorted.
Anyways.. I hope everyone is having a great day. We've got the World cup in a few days, 9 I believe so there's all the soccar hype going around now. I just hope it all goes well and people enjoy their stay here. Anyone coming out for any games?

Morning to all and a VERY Happy Memorial Day. Spent most of yesterday in my usual style; perched in my recliner and barely able to move. Practice today so I must find a way to muster up the strength I will need to get out the door. Anyway, it is nice and WARM here in the desert and THAT  means a little less pain for me. Always a good thing.

Friday went very well. Another rockin fun night in Vegas. Crazy people and loads of fun. I swear, its like an entirely different breed of human being is out after midnight. The people are SO very different from the "day" crowd! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!  Hope you all enjoy the day. For those that are lucky enough to have the holiday "off", enjoy it! Light up the barbeque and spend a little time outdoors! I did that last night (steaks and shrimp) and likely will do it when I get home this afternoon!! Now THAT is what summer is really all about, no?  Here's a pic from Friday! Enjoy your day, gang!!

[joedraper] Thursday, May 27, 2010 2:16:07 AM 
Yep, I hate to say this and I swore I never would but here goes (lol) Back in my day, we had discipline. You wouldn't dare speak to a teacher, parent or adult the way some of these ungrateful brats do. I'm still pretty strict on the discipline/respect thing. My children know how far to push and what consequences happen when they go too far. And I don't have to beat it into them. Discipline takes work from both sides and these days some parents just don't give a damn. Shouldn't be breeding because that is just what they are doing. Pumping out kids and then expecting teachers to deal with them but don't  you dare discipline my little so and so. Bull shit. We need discipline and responsibility back.

OMG! I feel so old and cranky after spewing that out lol.

I've got a friend who teaches teens and she started off lovingh her job. She went from junior school upwards and she hates the teens. She says they've become disrespectful, sexually harras her and can get intimidating. She says she'd teach little ones anyday. 

The toddlers/ under 6 year olds are cool. Whenever I go to pick my two up from school they all stampede me. I have no idea why but almosst every kid at the school wants to come home with me, they all insist on showing me their new tricks on the jungle gym etc. I dig kids but I don't think I'd be able to teach them. I have some days where I have up to 3 extra at a time at home because when one of mine asks to bring a friend for a play date, there's normally another two who want to come with. Lol. I love seeing how their imaginations develop. This parenting thing has been a very nice journey for me and I'm keen to see what type of adults they will turn into one day.

They love music, are funny as can be and are pretty much a joy in my life.

Sounds like you had a good day Joe, and a long one. Got to admire teachers. The good ones are professional kid wranglers. They know how just a glance in a noisy direction will result in silence and good bahavior. The little ones up to fifth grade are easy, it's the tweens and teens that are pains. lol My sister is a teacher and refuses to teach grades above level 5. lol

Hi gang!

Just got back from listening to a friend's gig. Was a nice chilled laid back semi acousstic set. Very cool. Baby sitter was a  no go so we had to take the kids with. They were fine as long as they were stuffing their little faces with food but when that finished and they'd downed all their soda then they were not interested at all  lol. Zoey was dancing a bit but got tired so we called it a night and came home. I must say that I've just heard the most stunning local version of 'Wish You Were Here' They just had two electric guitars, toned down and vocals.. It was hauntingly beautiful. Highlight of a very cool night musically.


I also survived a 3 hour trip to the fire station with the kids. I volunteered my time to help out with the field trip and I tell you, I have a whole new respect for teachers. I was pooped after 3 hours with help.. how they do it all day for 5 days a week I have no idea! lol

Enjoying a nice cup of tea and then a good night sleep lol.

Nope, neither. I live outside the city limits (meaning across the street). No natural gas, no city water (actually thankful for that...not as expensive with a well), have to pay the trash collectors directly. I live about two minutes from the firehouse but still have to pay a "rural" fee to have them come out to try to put out a fire. Not that they could ever do so. Can't make it up my drive and no hydrant.

Ahhhh...you'll have to move to the "things that are making you super-happy" thread for the full answer to that one. Still waiting on the guy is the short version. Got a backup as well but the first guy was one of those "means what he says, says what he means" sort of fellow. I think he and I and his wife are the only three people on this planet who refuse to get cellphones. Oh, except for Tim Robbins, I hear.

Speaking of super-happy, congrats on the NHL win. I READ about that online. While I pay a small fortune each month for satellite, see if I can find a channel to offer the games (or even ANNOUNCE the winners) without paying extra. I do have three channels playing "The Nanny," though. So I have that to fall back on.
