  1. This is an issue that REALLY gets me going, but I will exercise restraint, lol.

    I still can't believe we blindly marched our children to the doctors to be vaccinated without questioning anything.

    Sharon, my sons are two years apart. When my older son was being vaccinated, the doctor rolled his eyes (yet complied) with giving him IPV (polio injection) instead of the oral polio drink, and giving DTAP (acellular version) instead of the regular DTP. I requested those after the reading I'd done about vaccine safety; of course, I was a hysterical hippie to be worried about that stuff, right? As it turned out, though, by time my younger son was getting his vaccinations, the doc had "revised" his guidelines to include giving the IPV and DTAP rather than the OPV and DTP. :icon_rolleyes:


  2. Gosh, I had no idea he was that old. I wonder how Tina has taken this news. I remember hearing her say once that no matter how awful the relationship, when you have a child together you're forever tied to that person in some ways.

    A rep for Tina Turner2.gif has released the following statement on the death of the musical legend’s one-time abusive husband.

    “Tina hasn’t had any contact with Ike in 35 years. No further comment will be made.”


  3. ^How tragic... Yeah...I think it's more about the psychology of the individual involved... It's not like we don't have people killing others for stupid reasons in our country. Aren't domestic disputes the number one killer in NY now?

    I agree with Ames. This asshole obviously had some problems that would be present regardless of his religious beliefs.


  4. I listened to the songs at the website below, and I think this may very well be Green Day. :038:

    Band's buzz: They might be Green Day

    By Shay Quillen

    Mercury News

    A spunky new garage band called Foxboro Hot Tubs is generating a sizable online buzz, fueled by rampant speculation that it's actually a world-famous East Bay band.

    "It sounds an awful lot like Green Day," says Aaron Axelsen,music director for Live 105 (KITS-FM). "My hunch says it would be. But at this point I'm just treating it as its own record."

    Tunes on the new band's MySpace site, launched in October, have received more than 100,000 plays, and an entire six-song EP is now available for free download at www.foxborohottubs.com.

    Reprise, Green Day's record label, is declining to comment. But there are plenty of clues that the band - whose music and visuals are "straight out of 1965," in the words of one of its songs - is Green Day, or at least a close neighbor.

    Foxboro is an upscale area near Rodeo, the East Bay town where singer Billie Joe Armstrong and bassist Mike Dirnt grew up. And one song, "Ruby Room," shares a name with a popular Oakland bar.

    Such speculation has followed the band before. In 2003, a year before the release of "American Idiot," a masked synth-punk band called the Network released a disc on Armstrong's Adeline Records label. Though the singer was a dead ringer for Armstrong, the band never revealed itself, even when it performed a show for Live 105.

    "This is in that pattern of things," Axelsen says. "It's cool they have this ability to take on an alter ego . . . and have a fun little side project."

    A new Green Day CD is slated for 2008.
