I am in a civic club where we have to bring prizes worth about $5 that the members draw for. It is my turn to do this about once every six months. The members range in age from 21 to 90. About 75% male 25% female. Any ideas of what I could get?

I hate bringing something with no originality like a coffee mug.
grimfan:
Man, I'm drawing a blank on that. It's hard to pick something generic without being common, like mugs. Especially with such a wide age range. Wiyh so many men, maybe something sports related? But that might not work for the women. Some sort of food, maybe? A flashlight, a small one, might be handy. I wish I could be more help. I'm just not thinking of anything. Hope you figure it out!

Remember the ad that kept flashing up at the top of Suicide Girls a few weeks ago for the CD Mellowdrone Box? Did anyone else check them out besides me?

Apparently this is the first full-length CD for the L.A. band. I don't see them reaching rock-legend status, but I am really enjoying this quirky album. Some of the songs are dull, but quite a...

I am seeking solace in a lot of music at the moment but i'm using it as more of a distraction than anything else. you can pretty much garner my mood by what i'm listening to. Sometimes i'll try and force a different mood out of myself by listening to something i'm not necessarily up for but either way it's all good distraction... like girls.

As far as tweaking decisions, the dials are popping so i'm attempting a major reset without the manual. but who reads manuals?

These things all come to an end eventually, it might not be the resolution that we hope for but it's resolution never-the-les and i'm a big fan of resolve.

I'm gonna check out that band you mention.

I don't know what it is about her in this video but it certainly caught my attention. I trust from your tone that not all the girls from little rock are blessed with the finer side of Ms. Lee?

I don't get butterfingers over here but they do remind me of this awesome choc nut waffer thing that i couldn't get enough of when i was last in the Czech Republic... thinking about it makes me wanna book a flight this minute.

Has anyone ever completely ran a stoplight that you knew was there but just forgot? I know this sounds airheaded. But today I was driving along thinking "why is the car in front of me stopped in the middle of the road"?

Then after I was through I realized I ran a red light. At least no cars were coming.

I drive through that intersection...

Thanks darling.

Oh boy were you lucky! Glad to hear no one was in the intersection.

A lot on your mind? Hopefully it's all good and dirty things wink
taiko:
Hay Dreu, yeah I have done that a couple of times, these days living and working in the city centre, I do not have those issues as i took my car off the road due to lack of use

Laters !

My grandmother died yesterday. Don't worry this is not real sad.

Grandma was 96 years old. She had 5 sons, 13 grandchildren, 29 great grandchildren, and 11 great-great grandchildren. She married grandpa and had her oldest son when she was age 16.

Out of all of those descendants, only 1 person was not alive when she died and that was my father. My father died...

There is this dude in our town named Paul Tay. First off, let me say that I appreciate political courage of any kind. It is hard to find in today's world.

But on the other hand, this guy is annoying the shit out of everyone. Bottom line he likes causing traffic jams to get his point across, but no one understands what his point is....

Sunsetme: Thanks for the comment and I really like it. What's amazing is your message acknowledges death and mortality and you sent it on the day my grandmother died! Don't worry I am not freaked out by it.

Yeah, Layne Staley died of overdose in 2002. Interestingly AIC has hooked up with William DuVall of Comes With The Fall to be their new lead singer, at least for the tour. Look at the myspace sites for both AIC and CWTF if you want to see and hear.
musim:
I'll probably be at Snog. I'm trying to find a free way in since as much as I like their music I think they're rather ignorant. Plus my friends are the ones bringing them to town. I have to prioritize with my school schedule though. You know how it is, you're mechanical.
