I have spent the last 6 days doing some deep research on gun violence in the world, after my esteemed collegues Felice and Wtrav02 and I got into a dispute, I hope that doesn't shock anyone. You may wonder why I'm going to post this. Well when Larisa and I first met I told her I owned firearms. She had this perception and I think many women in the FSU also have this perception that the states is nothing but a wild west show when it comes to guns. The statistics are really interesting, especially for our newly married friend from Belarus. I got the statistics from FBI.org, Bureau of Justice, UN website, that was painful to me, and Nationmasters.com I was disappointed that Interpol refuses to publish these statistics, but what can I do. Hollywood does a great disservice to us in the FSU, but that doesn't really surprise me much. For us gun owners you will be able to explain some things and for the gun control people I think you are going to be shocked. None of this will be fabricated from my bias, it is information I have found and will reproduce without my bias. Then you can make the call.
Internet telephone systems using the local TV/internet cable are just now being advertised heavily here. You can even have your regular phone number transfered over. The system uses VoIP and is said to be exactly the same as regular phone service. As you say it just plugs into a special modem attached to the cable. I did check with my local service and for me here in the US it would cost me MORE to call to my girl in Russia ($.19/min) than using the prepaid phone cards. Cost for the digital phone service here is about $40/month. At that price I see no reason for me to switch.
Actually the voices in my head said I should stay at home and clean them today but I felt I should go to work instead.
Sooooo I brought them with me.
I don't want them to be lonely.
However they are only a little bit loaded.
I am going to lunch now - the cafeteria should be completely full. Lots of people. Lots and lots of people. :)))
JMO keep you grenade, I prefer My Remington 700 300 Mag. It's like the old bell telephone commercial, you can reach out and touch someone, up to 3/4 a mile away.
I have ordered it on the net, half the price as in the shops. I am really curious how this VoIP will work out.. They tell me it is great.. and if it is, then it is just fantastic.. I can call all over Europe and USA for free, some parts of the Baltic states and Russia I have to pay a small amount for. The first 100 minutes every month is free for these countries! :)
OK, could not pass this up. I found this from a 38yr old from Latvia, "First of all I want a man. Is it too much to ask for? Not older than 60. With its own brain and genitals. Normal man with normal job." Own genitals???? She must of had a serious disappointment in her life.
