Hello If and when
the FPLA gets amended do you think there will be a lot of press coverage or will
it just happen and life will go on. Does anyone have any idea when the
FPLA might be amended. Has anyone heard if New York and Alabama are any

My gosh, folks, I wasn't very concerned about the quality of the water when
I posted this. I was only concerned about the quality of the SI used in the

The thing that makes it funnier (and tabloid-worthy) in the UK is where it
