OK, that sounded cheesy enough, but here be the real situation. I spent quite some time trying to decide whether I wanted a new Zippo or not, and if so, what I wanted on it. (I know... not the most crucial of life's decisions, but hey. Deciding on Zippos is about as special as desiding on tats for me. Also, I'm cheap and wallet's tight. I cannot pick ANYTHING flippantly.) So I finally decided I want one with a fairy on it, and am having a hell of a tie finding one. Have searched both retail stores and online sites, and have come up empty-handed. Therefore, I thought I woud turn to you all. Have any ideas where I should try next/ Or, by even greater luck, do you know of the whereabouts of such an item? If so, please do me the grand favor of dropping me a note. (privately, preferably.... I am now on the digest form of the list.) For yet another V-Day, I ended up completely empty-handed, so as pathetic as it is, I'm treating myself to a gift. (A girl gotta do what a girl gotta do, ya know?) So, if you have any tipe, please pass them along. Much appreciated!

The billions of dollars we spend on the military in this country is bloated. The recent accidents occuring in the armed forces have been attributed to human error, not equipment failure due to old, broken down equipment. How is it exactly that Clinton deplorably "treated" 'our boys and girls'? I suggest you stop basing all your vies on Rush Limbaugh's venomous rants, and start looking at facts: When one drives a big hunk of metal at over 200mph, whether it's a plane in the air or a car on the ground, there's a good chance someone IN that hunk of metal could die a fiery death. Let's not skew THAT fact into a political ballyhoo. I'm not saying that the aforementioned deaths are not tragedies--I'm just frankly surprised that such deaths aren't more frequent. Face it; what made Dale Earnhardt a 'hero' in the first place? It's because he was able to drive a car really fast for several decades without dying. Game over.
