[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=Sienna]Kaise... where do you live. I don't know about you, but where I live, it gets mighty cold for the large part of the year. Ever hear stories of kids coming in off the street into those shelters with their shoes quite literally frozen to their now-dead feet? That certainly sounds pleasent! Besides, what are you going to eat or do with your life? How many child hobos ever get good jobs or ever move on in life? You can plan and come up with ideas all you want, but in the end running away will just ruin your life. It's a bad idea. You say you can stay with a friend, well, ok, that works - except that if your father finds out (WHICH HE WILL!) than he has legal right to bring you home. Even than, you think you're friends mother will EVER agree to let you stay there for 3 years knowing what she knows? So, option A: run away and become a hobo. Beg for money, become bitter and heartless and as bad as your father. Piss away your future and probably die. Option B: put up with it and become a better person... be strong and stand up for yourself, and if he physically attacks you, call one of those child helplines. Than you can get the hell out of there when you're 18 and make your own life and future. Red pill or blue.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[QUOTE=ChibiHorsewoman][color=darkviolet][font=lucida calligraphy]I'm surprised that there isn't an Olympic thread made yet. I know that the games aren't until next month but I figured why not start early. I can't wait to watch hockey. Maybe the US Womens will show everyone else a thing or two about how the game is played. That's all I have to comment on. So what is everyone else eager to see? Hopefully this will stay up fopr a while and we can post scores too. Whoot![/color][/font][/QUOTE] [FONT=Times New Roman] [COLOR=Sienna]Have you looked at Canada's roster? It's stacked! I too await the hockey excitedly... pretty hard to imagine Canada not winning. Especially the mens. Good luck, though :animesmil I also like the downhill skiing and the snowboarding, as well as the speed-skating. Go Eric Guay![/COLOR][/FONT]

I was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, where I currently and have always resided... don't let my Czech name fool you. Oh, and for John: Are you refering to [i]the[/i] Ottawa, or is there some Ottawa I've never heard of. Ottawa, as in the capitol of my beloved Canada, is hardly a 'town', so I was wondering if this was a misunderstanding :animesmil

The absolute greatest instrumental of all time is Rush's 2112 Overture. There is quite simply no instrumental that even comes close, with the exception of another Rush classic, YYZ.
