    Everyone I know and everyone in my family (mom and wife) all have Costco cards.
    I hate that place.
    I have a Sams Club card.
    That place is a breeze.
    Foodcourt is better too.

    Sam's Club was cool...had one 10 minutes away, we shopped there all the time. Better stuff than the other bargain bodegas...then one day we went and the sign read " Sorry, Sam's has closed. Thanks for being loyal customers. "
    So, it's back to roadkill...

    Peter Tork dies at 77... 10 year battle with tongue cancer
    [​IMG]

    Bandmate Micky Dolenz posted on Twitter: 'There are no words right now...heart broken over the loss of my Monkee brother, Peter Tork.'

    He and Mike Nesmith's The Mike & Micky Show is currently touring the US until March 16. Australia and New Zealand dates are scheduled for June.

    Nesmith posted on Facebook: 'Just got the news that Peter died. I am heartbroken. -Nez.'

    'Peter Tork died this AM. I am told he slipped away peacefully. Yet, as I write this my tears are awash, and my heart is broken. Even though I am clinging to the idea that we all continue, the pain that attends these passings has no cure. It's going to be a rough day.'

    Loved the Monkees.
    I never cared they were not a real band.
    They were real enough later.
    And the songs are long lasting.

    The Monkees was my weekend morning view when I was young. Loved that show. They may have started out as a parody, but they were talented, they could sing, and ultimately the songs they did sing were great....some even timeless. That is what ultimately matters right?

    RIP Mr. Tork.

    negro just means black in spanish
    comes from the latin niger
    of course we pronounce niger as nigh-jurr because...
    but in latin it was pronounced knee-gair

    all latin countries i've been to refer to the darkest skinned amongst us as negros, pronouncing it like nay grow, not knee grow, nay gra, not knee gra
    if you aren't quite that dark you are moreno or morena
    and all the other variations of color description
    skinny people are flacas and fat people gordos
    there's like a million ways of describing people and its usually done to your face and not to be taken as an insult
    now if you hear huevon, mamon etc. you are being insulted
    at least thats been my experience

    The last time I said negro is when Obama's birth certificate read 'African American' when it should have read ' Negro' in the race description, considering the year in which he was born.
    Lol.

    appears Mark Hollis the leader of TalkTalk has passed
    not sure how many here even know who this band was but he was a really creative guy
    he more or less turned his back on uber fame to stay true to his vision
    RIP and remember life's what up make it
