Scotland Wants Bulgarians and Romanians to Come

http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=69397

Well I guess all efforts to get descendants of Scots driven out during the Jacobite wars, or driven out during the Clearances have failed utterly. At least I've never seen any campaign to encourage thisMost of them could no longer point to Culloden on a map, would no longer cry if you sang them 'The Skye Boat Song' or toast the 'King Over the Water' at a dinner party. In fact most of them barely know they ARE Scots!
Maybe Romanians and Bulgarians are a good replacement then!

White Bread Puts You More At Risk for Diabetes

http://in.news.yahoo.com/041107/139/2hqsy.html

My mama didn't allow that in our house! We did black bread or whole Thewheat or corn tortillas. White bread literally sticks in my craw, I don't like it! I don't eat it, when I order a hamburger, I order it without the bun whenever I think I can get away with it. The only white flour in my diet is if I eat a cake or cookies. My daughter is a baker so obviously I'm not out to boycott cakes and cookies! :) I just don't eat lots of them, and I don't eat white bread at all.

Yeah I'm not really very pleased with the results of the Mg vote.

More Milo, Milo, Momo, Momo, Slobo.

Or perhaps Mama Mia might more accurately describe Milo.

I suppose its a bit tedious to ask but what were you doing when it happened? When did you hear about it?

which event are you refering to? If it was Montenegrin independance I was at home, and got the news first from the Internet, and posted it, pretty close to immediatly, Sept 11, read the post for that day, I was sick in bed, and not really awake when I heard the news I was suffering a high fever. I didn't even realize I was awake, I had the local news channel on, anyway my daughter called, and asked me if WW F***ng three had started. I told her no, it was not WW F****ng three just a really BAD terrorist attack. I went and poured myself a stiff drink, for the coughing and turned on the news again. Then alled my clients and told them I would not be making any cold calls that day, because I figured that it was a dead loss on two counts, the attacks and my illness. He was totally fine with that.
I spent the day glued to the radio. I didn't call anyone. The chat room I used to go to, was a total zoo. I didn't work for a week, and when I got back to work, the results were so dismal, I knew my job was going to go away.
Reaction locally was pretty terrible, people were angry and sad. A lot of people here enlisted too. This is that kind of town.
