I don't know if I'm entitled to start 2 threads, but this will be my last, I swear<g>. I thought it might be nice for all those who were cheated the first time around completely for whatever reason and were planning to try again to have their own thread. I feel as though we need to have a...

I have to vent. I just HAVE to vent. Mods, I know you're going to read this post and will want to remove it. But please don't. This is a post more in the line of "I just HAVE to let it out"--I've had to deal with a hellish situation the past month and BELIEVE ME I will never post anything like...

Hi everybody, just taking a break from my normal home in FYM to post here. I know if I posted this thread there, it would be moved....so.... I know someone posted a thread about the trailer but this is for the upcoming book too. As you know, the fifith film in the Harry Potter series is coming...

..and that US Troops will stay in Iraq past 2009. In addition, he quoted Bush as telling him that "he is setting up Iraq so that his successor will not be able to change our destiny." This is not conspiracy theory. I, and thousands of others, saw this report on ABC news Friday night (last...

From CNN Wire: Orhan Pamuk has won the Nobel Prize for Literature. I have to go on the record and say that as an ethnic Armenian, I rejoice. His government not only will NOT be able to shut him up now, but will have to put up with a worldwide surge of interest not only ALL of his writings...

Apologies if there is a thread on this already, but I have not visited PLEBA in a long while. If you have not seen them yet, go to U2.com and watch the three "A Day In The Life..." featurettes. I laughed so hard I almost lost my dinner. It was hilarious. I am an Edge gal, but anyone can love...

Ever since observing the end of the 40 days of mourning for my Mom back in December, I have dropped out of (that is, not attended) my chruch for a while. That is, the local Armenian Church. I get the weekly newsletters, but only glance thorugh them. Some things that remind me of Mom I can take...

That's what the poster titled this thread I'm linking, and it's a good title.... The FBI sending detectives to interrogate a college professor, and then questioning his students outside his office afterwards about his life. Here we go down the slippery path of dictatorship...
