I graduated and got to see Michelle Obama...regardless of politics she gave an incredible speech at VT. As someone who has been here since 07, it hit home.

Pretty awesome last 2 days and...

Pie for a fellow Hokie grad. Everytime I listen to 'I can see for miles' by The Who, I wonder why they use the imperial system over the metric system considering they are British.

I was doing some work on my buddies computer that involved downloading some pictures to post online. When i went to pull them from the file folder i stumbled, honestly, on some lets say "naughty" pics of his gf. Should i give him hell or keep it to myself?

You should make copies and PM them to all of us. Duh!

Although I live in VA, I own a couple beach properties in NC and was looking forward to enjoying my sunset years there. Now that they've passed this constitutional amendment banning civil unions and gay marriage, they're effectively back to the 19th century and have lived up to everyone's stereotype of being a bunch of stupid rednecks.

And for all of you who think this is just about gay marriage- go look again- it denies rights to any type of living arrangement not a man-woman marriage. So, yeah, if you live with someone and have kids- guess what? Odds are you have no parental rights if something should happen to that relationhip.

It also really bother me that the entire thought process behind this comes from relegion and relegious beliefs, yet it becomes a constitutional amendment. Whatever happened to the separation of church and state?

I spent 20 years fighting for the freedoms we enjoy in this country and I'm pissed that we are now attempting to legislate morality inside people's homes.

Yeah I voted against it but maybe you shouldn't throw rocks if you live in a glass house...

That only a union between one man and one woman may be a marriage valid in or recognized by this Commonwealth and its political subdivisions. This Commonwealth and its political subdivisions shall not create or recognize a legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance, or effects of marriage. Nor shall this Commonwealth or its political subdivisions create or recognize another union, partnership, or other legal status to which is assigned the rights, benefits, obligations, qualities, or effects of marriage

I found that if you get up before sunrise, you don't have to worry about closing the shades before going to bed. 30sec each day in the bank!

Trust me, I know VA isn't a whole lot better. However, there is a huge difference between a statute and a constituional amendment. NC went where no one else has with this. And I'm thinking if you were adept enough to track down the VA statute, you're also bright enough to know the difference between an unenforceable statute that has not yet stood up in a civil union case and a state constituional amendment.

You're right, I do know the difference. Unfortunately that isn't a statute in Virginia, it is a constitutional amendment that passed in 2006. North Carolina was the 31st state to pass a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and 20th to pass one banning homosexual civil unions, not the first.

I get up every morning and play 21 for an hour before work. Today, I hit 13 twice and ended up losing 21-9. I guess it's ok, because dragging the game out is the only way I get any exercise...

My right thumb says my Dad telling me at 4 to always cut away from you was not just for shits and giggles, even if you think you know what you are doing.
