'TYPEWRITER' is the longest word that can be typed using one line on a keyboard

STEWARDESS....is longest word that can be typed using only your left hand..ie...if you know how to type..

Worth all our support...taking place in my part of the country, although, I'm sure there will be swimmers competing from all parts of the country and beyond...lets all get behind them....
I spent two weeks at home recently...and I couldn't believe the sense of comaraderie, sportsmanship, team spirit that the Tri Ath club has brought to the community....they are all fit buggers...I had to flee... anyway...win or lose, I'm sure they will  put up a worthy attempt.

Thanks for your help...Fitzpatricks seems to be the spot...will pass on the info to them

My sister and family are holidaying in South West France at the minute.  Looking to watch the Ulster Final....They are in the Charente Maritime region...Nearest towns are Royan or La Rochelle.  Does anyone know any bar in that area that might be showing the Ulster Final.  Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

Joe and Anne O'Connell (nee Coleman) who were killed in a car crash in Iowa on Sunday evening.  I had the pleasure of playing camogie with Anne in NY for a few years.  She was a star and an absolute lady.  She also played for Galway and Joe was a Kerry County hurler.  Recently they had resided in Madison, WI.
Their three children were injured in the accident, which happened on a family vacation.  My deepest sympathies to the O'Connell and Coleman families and a full recovery is wished to all of their children.

RIP Anne and Joe

I have a yellow Lab...great dog...but don't sign on for a big dog unless you are willing to put the time and effort into exercising them...Mine gets two hour long walks every day, rain, hail, snow or sunshine...keeps him very calm and happy....it works out ok for me too, a bit of exercise keeps the weight down and I hate gyms.  Got a big fenced in yard for him during the day while I'm at work.

I concur wholeheartedly, although I don't know about Lieberman... I would prefer Bloomberg than him...Pailin is just wrong, wrong wrong...She can wink and "Joe Sixpack" till she is blue in the face...she isn't impressing anyone but the right wing extremists...
People want tolerence and understanding...not snarking and barking....my way or the highway...
I also think the election of Barack Obama will go a long way to putting the ugly history of this country to rest.  We can't deny there is an ugly history..I think he will be a powerful example of how far this country has coming regarding race relations...I really, really hope he wins...btw, I really like Joe Biden too...

I'm wondering when we can expect to see "Joe the Plumber" with his own reality TV show...Maybe himself and "Joe Sixpack" can team up....
McCain was def more aggressive, I guess he had to be...Obama was his usually cool self, he just comes across as very calm and in control..
I watched it on a split screen, so you could clearly see the reactions when the other was speaking...McCain in my opinion looked angrier.

You know, on a separate note...I could have lived with McCain....but Pailin freaks me out...I dislike her more than I dislike Guliani and I think she sunk McCain more than any other mistake he has made.  Suspending Campaign, Postponing Debate etc etc....Independents, especially educated women just don't like her....I won't call her stupid, coz you don't get where she is being stupid....but she comes across as incredibly ignorant and sneaky as a fox..
I think she absolutly cannot change peoples opinions of her, which were formed after watching her interviews...The fact she refuses/or isn't allowed to give anymore is resonating with voters...

She'd wanna cram a little harder.  I don't care what end of the ticket she is on...I wouldn't vote for her for class prefect...

Oh believe me, I don't underestimate her at all...Like yourself and half the electorate....I live in Hope. 

As to opposed to Obama/Biden or even McCain himself. I'd have seriously considered giving McCain my vote had he gone with Joe Lieberman (as he allegedly wanted to) instead of choosing Palin to win over the right wing base. He ain't getting it now. The Democrats have plenty of faults, but the christian right section of the Republican party makes me want to vomit. Its sad that McCain (whom they slimed so grotesquely in 2000) has decided he needs them.

I agree completely with this sentiment.....I said previously on this thread, that McCain has the ability to reach across the aisle...(failed immigration bill). I noticed that any mention of immigration was conspicuously absent in his speech tonight... However, his choice of Sarah Palin as VP is abhorrent to me personally....I think it proves that the Republican Party is still owned by the extreme right wing of the party...I believe if he had have picked ANYONE ELSE (with the exception of Rudi (Barf) Guliani), he would have had a great chance to win this...My vote is for Obama, absolutely no doubt in my mind..

Dont' you love being married

The Honeymoon Is Over Downs

Apologies to DrinkingHarp....I misread your statement about shovelling Stew's driveway... I'd be very surprised if you have to make that trip...

Fair play to the Republicans....they are doing their very best to put a good face on this....whatever you can say about them, they are very good at showing a united front...but I have no doubt whatsoever that there are many high ranking and grass roots Republicans who would just love to kill John McCain right now...

He really has been very effective in the past few weeks of casting doubts about Obama's experience....He has just negated all those gains....A very minimal number of disgruntled Hillary voters will vote for Palin....she is the polar opposite of Hillary

I never thought this was McCains election to throw away....it was always going to be close....But I believe he lost it today...As recently as July Palin said to a CNBC analyst "What exactly does the Vice President do every day"!!!!!!!!!!!  I don't think she'll have to worry about learning...
I wonder what was in Romney and Pawlenty's closets that made him pass over them....Barack Obama will be the next President....Whoever was going to shovel Stew's driveway better head to Home Depot...
