PERSONAL RANTINGS…BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
IT IS GREAT TO BE BACK FROM VACATION!!! We had a great time in Corolla/Corova … what a beautiful place - and the best part is that you feel like you're a million miles from home, but your not! We stay in the 4x4 area … you drive through Duck, all the way up Route 12 to the Ocean, turn left just before your truck winds up in the Ocean and drive 10 miles up the beach - CRAZY!! The homes there are giant and beautiful - right on the Ocean!!! It's totally affordable if you go with a few other families. Most houses have between 5 and 10 bedrooms. Aside from Theresa being completely freaked out by the different surroundings and 18 of my family members, all was awesome.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME GO: “ABSOLUTELY!!!”
According to a new, international survey by Match.com, there REALLY aren't many things you can do to torpedo a new relationship like being a bad kisser.
--33% of people say they've dumped someone because they were a bad kisser. (--Which means: Of the next three people you date, at least one of them is shallow enough to break things off because of your lack of kissing skills.)
--80% of people say that they can't see themselves having a long-term relationship with a bad kisser because it messes up the intimacy, excitement and sexual attraction.
--Using too much tongue is the number one bad kissing move. . . having too much saliva is number two. . . and bad breath is number three.
--The BRITISH were named the best kissers in the world. . . followed by the French, Italians, Spanish. . . and then Americans.
--The GERMANS were named the worst kissers in the world.

THINGS THAT MAKE ME GO: “UGH.”
We have a TERRIBLE story to tell you about from Louisville, Kentucky, today. . . it hits so close to home that it might pop up in your head EVERY time you're about to go on a ride at an amusement park for the rest of your life.
--On Thursday, at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, a 16-year-old girl had her FEET SEVERED OFF on a ride.
--The girl was on the Superman Tower of Power ride. . . that's one of those free-fall rides that goes straight up in the air, then speeds back down. The Superman ride at Six Flags is 177 feet high and drops at 54 miles-per-hour.
--According to witnesses, there was a cable on the ride that had snapped. And as the riders were going down, the cable whipped at all of their legs. (--On the free-fall rides, your legs hang down from the seats.)
--The 16-year-old girl was just in the wrong seat. . . the cable got caught around her legs. . . and as the ride went down and the cable pulled up, both of her feet were severed off at the ankles.
--She was taken to a hospital. She's alive, but there's no other word on her condition.
--The accident happened around 5:00 P.M. . . and Six Flags shut down the ride. . . but KEPT THE PARK OPEN. Police are still investigating. (CNN)

--Dikembe Mutombo - 41 (While the NBA and all reports SAY he's 41, no one except Dikembe truly knows how old he is. . . and many suspect he's closer to 46. . . or 50.)
--George Michael - 44
--JIMMIE WALKER!!! - 60 (He used to be "Dynomite" J.J. Evans on "Good Times".)
