I'm bringing some steaks and some beer. What're you all bringing?

And for our friends who can't join us: Happy 4th! Very Happy

I'm bringing myself. You're welcome. Wink

Seriously though, I'm just a phone call away. Let me know what's needed and I'll see about getting it done.

Happy fourth to You all too!

Except Aran, who I wish an especially happy 4th of july because it is just another day in Britain, and every day in Britain should be happy.

Oops! Did I say "steaks?" I meant Korean BBQ ribs, you know, the short ribs. And some beer.

In my case, I'm glad I was born here in the U.S. Had I been born in Mexico (or moved there like my Dad wanted me to), I'd be cleaning up horse manure for roughly 5 dollars a day, begging my own relatives to let me do their chores in exchange for food and clothing.

Here in the states I've been slowing improving my quality of life both on my own accord and with help from my friends. Speaking of which, I wouldn't know any of the guys in the strips, which I have to say are really great people.

My mom has a saying which she drove into my skull while I was growing up: "Better poor but independant here than poor and humiliated there". I've seen first hand what life in Mexico's like. My mom is 100% right.

How many times do I have to tell Dave what things mean? To take the piss out of something is to poke fun at it, insult it, joke about it (at its expense) and other such actions.
