it wouldn't matter if he was born out of state if the residence of his parents is in Alaska, he'd still qualify pretty easily for the PFD (just as any adopted child would qualify regardless of where they were born..) (and yes, I'm an Alaskan...)

oh.. there'd be talk.. and lots of it... most of the folk around here (I'm in Palmer, Alaska..) aren't all that fond of Sarah and her stunts. There might not have been much talk at the time, but there would have been later, after the failed run and she jumped ship.. and Levi would talk. I doubt that boy would turn…

first thought: Well, at least she has actual pants for a change. Second thoughts: too dang shiney and tight and man that has to be uncomfortable and constricting to move in. How is she seriously expected to put up a decent fight in that horrid thing. It should be looser, allow for movement and flow.. I like the fact…

also, speaking as an overweight gal.. heck, I'm probably considered obese. I have a very healthy diet, always have. Have kept tabs on sugar, have a low salt diet, etc. But I've pretty much always been heavy. Some of s genetic, and some of it has come about because of medical conditions. I have PCOS - which made me…

I agree as well. Hubby and I both still keep in touch with old friends of the opposite gender. I have several very dear and close male friends, one is gay, one is married, the other is single. and he has kept in touch with several of his old girlfriends from high school. Neither of us is concerned about the other's…

I still want to know why, since the format change, I can't log in to my account, only via facebook? I request a password reset, it arrives, and I try to log in with it, and still nothing. I get a message that the two don't match! (Yes, I have verified that I'm using the correct username as well.) It is very very…

I think I'm one of the last few hold outs who sits down with paper forms and all, and does it all by hand. I've never found it to be all too complicated as long as I pay attention to what I'm doing. We will likely switch to e-file for next year, though. Will most likely still figure it all out myself at home though.…

people can actually put cars in there?? mine is usually full of hubby's tools, projects and maybe a motorcycle or two, and all the kids' bikes.. rarely does a car actually get allowed in there..

I'm a librarian in a small community in Alaska. We do not offer e books directly, though we link with a service that offers 2 week download for more audio books then we can carry, and will, I'm sure, eventually be offering ebooks the same way.

the only birds we have fly into the window do so because they're drunk from the Mountain Ash berries on the tree in our front yard. None of them have as of yet been killed by this though.

I love that blog! esp now that I've just found out I have to go gluten free. Anyway, all of the ideas I've see posted are great. If You're pressed for time, Taco bar, Potato bar and waffle bar nights are also great. I love the crock.. some things I will dump in the night before, stick the whole thing in the fridge…

gracious..I remember watching that show, but I'd forgotten that it ran for 4 seasons... wow...

ew.. why would they punish us so in favor of IE8?? that's just plain mean...

@pugsnthugs: we live about an hour north of Anchorage and he works way up at the top of the state so it's somewhere around 800 - 1000 miles, depending on which site he's at. He's an electrician up there, so most of his works gets to be done inside, which is nice. Our son in law works up there as well now, too. Most of…

@pugsnthugs: agreed! my hubby works up on the north slope oil fields and is gone for several weeks at a time (right now he is 3 wks gone, 3 wks home, but he has been on a 6 and 2 schedule before - those get hard) plus was deployed through most of 2009. I faired much better during the deployment then a lot of others in…

we use live365 and like it. you can pay and be ad free, or not pay and have a few ads pop in once in a while and there are tons and tons of channels to pick from. it suits our level of need for it, which, arguably, isn't very high or often, but its a nice little service when we need it.

@Dr_Fysiks: same here. I have 8 active email accounts, (3 of them hotmail) i pretty much keep things sorted out as to what and who has access to each, though the 2 hotmail accounts that I use for spam dumps haven't been hacked much, the one I used for some communication (and im purposes) did get hacked and turned into…

@Ubernostrom: 40 here in Palmer, we had a bit of rain last night, but not much of anything today.

K, some advise from someone in Alaska who is use to driving in this sort of weather.

@kobayashimaroon: He might be a bit old for it at this point, but I know his son and a couple of his grandkids have done some acting..
