RE: parenting issue........
I would think that having a MySpace account for a youngster would be very socially important to them. I would talk to other parents and get their views on what age(s) they deem appropriate for their kids, and take it from there. Your kids may be crushed to not have MySpace accounts - as a non-parent, I just don't know.
I think it may also be appropriate for you to have their username + password. That may be the lynch pin, and hotly contested by the young person.
-Just reading now, so here is my first reaction to your original post.

RE: Texting?
If you are STOPPED at a light, is it still a driving(moving) violation?I sure don't know, but he was certainly 'operating a motor vehicle' on a public road. In that particular area I was drivng in, the county sheriffs/deputies and constables enforce the road laws like crazy, but naturally they can't be everywhere.

Texting?
Just venting....
I was sitting at a red light alongside a 20s something Bozo that was texting with two hands and thumbs, like it was going out of style. Even though he was in a pickup, my coach was taller as I was looking down at his thumbs going like crazy. He looked up at my slowly shaking head and frown, just as the light changed to green. We were both first in line on a very busy 6-lane parkway metro-loop.
When will these Bozos figure out that texting while on the roadway operating a motor vehicle endangers others lives? Never, I'd venture.
Edit spelling

RE: Could use some good thoughts for the kitties.. UPDATE Pg 2
Hissing was part of it when my little girl came home the afternoon after surgery in the morning. If you ask me, there should be some sort of follow-up pain medication that you can dispense once you get them home, and they become livid with the pain.

RE: Dallas Cowboys - what seems to be the problem?
Romo is one of those guys that plays mediocre for you but as soon as you trade him he would play like a superstar.I've always believed this too. For $67,000,000.00 I think Jerry has married Romo for the life of his usefulness.

RE: Getting RV Washed and Waxed::::
$550.00 is what a friend of mine paid for his 26' RV in Nacogdoches, Texas, a few months ago. That was to include a complete exterior fiberglass renewal. It was dull and was 10 yeras out in the weather.

RE: Full timing definition
I just have a quick question / clarification. When people refer to full timing, are they actually without a house and live all the time in their RV on the road and have no place to go back to?For some, and for others, they have one or more homes/lots arounbd the country and fulltime in their RV.

RE: Rockport vs RGV?
Been going to the RGV for ten plus years, but noticed on this forum that there are lots of smaller parks around Rockport and Aransas Pass. Would the Rockport/Aransas Pass area be as good as the RGV to spend a month or two in the winter? Any good restaurants in the Rockport area?Several around Rockport/Fulton - both RV parks & restaurants - although there is a new Walmart Supercenter and a new H.E.B - there is no Denny's or Waffle House - translation; you cannot get a restaurant-cooked breakfast after 11:00 a.m. Don't have any experience with Aransas.

RE: Vanishing Jobs
It seems the only safe jobs are to be on some sort of government-sponsored job, pension or retirement. All others are at risk - and even governemnt pensioners may get downsized in their benefits when municipalities, counties, states have to re-organize or go bankrupt because they cannot meet their promised obligations. There's just less money in circulation, and downsizing is continuing at every level I've heard about. At least that's some of the view I've noticed recently.

RE: How much monthly income did it take for you to retire?
I am shocked to find so many people ready to share there financial
situation, on a site like this.
I am shocked so many people still consider it to be so personal!
Who really cares?????
Bob has $8,000 a month. Paul has $1,200 a month. So what?X 2 I agree completely.

RE: Buell Motorcycles terminates product line.
I'm sorry to hear of this. As a motorcyclist for more than 40 years (currently own no bikes), I have owned many different brands but never a Harley. My most recent was a Triumph.
I'm sure I will take some flack from Harley owners, but I have always felt they never attacked the main reason I won't buy a Harley, lack of water cooling on their cruisers. Back in the day, nobody had water cooling, but in 2010 it is ridiculous to not offer it. My last cruiser was a honda VTX1300, my next bike will be another water cooled cruiser. Why? simply because they don't have the heat issues the air cooled bikes do.
When I was younger and we would ride to the AMA races in places like Road America, the drive through Chicago on a particularly hot early June Friday happened to co-inside with the 95th anniversary of Harley-Davidson. The ride was stop and go and the temps were in the 90's. We were all on either water or oil cooled bikes and the only thing that got too hot was us. But the Harley riders were another story. We started to see large groups of them on the side of the road. Some where trying to start their bikes others were revving them to try and keep them running. In a nut shell they were over heating. That taught a valuable lesson. If I am ever going to buy a Harley, it will have to be water cooled.
Having said all that, one of my favorite bikes is the Road King - the look as absolutely classic. Now if they were to offer a water cooled version... Untyil then I will have to settle for my next bike being something from the Japanese.You make some good points. Unfortunately - no manufacturer covers all the bases. Sometimes it is fulfilling to buy a vintage bike to re-capture many of the things you like about a certain line at a certain time of history. A buddy of mine does this and has a ball trading and collecting bikes.
Speaking of Triumphs, have you seen all the new retro Triumphs? I haven't yet, but am anious to see thye one that retros the TR4 and the 650 Bonneville bikes from the '60s. I saw two retro scrambler Triumphs out on the street in Omaha, NE., when back there a couple months ago.

RE: Buell Motorcycles terminates product line.
About 180 employees will lose their jobs, mostly in December.
You know, with all the money harley has taken from the market (you know, us) selling their bikes and portraying itself as "the" americon icon, you would think they would actually care enough to absorb these folks than to toss them out.Not unless they can figure out a way to keep them - by earning more money. If HD set their minds to it, there's not much they couldn't manufacture to cover most needs and wants of any potential buyer - IMO.
