Oh. I'm repused by country. Sadly. It was Lori's favorite. So I hate it. No. I hate her. I actually like Garth Brooks. Tim McGraw. Kelly Pickler. Shania. Gretchen....etc. If Lori sings them - which she did, non-stop - - in a Janis Joplin (on a bad day) voice......I hate them. I'm a Doors fan. And....I can sound like Morrison on a good day. *bum bum bum bum* "People are strange. When you're a stranger. Faces look ugly, when you're alone. Women look ugly - when you're unwanted. Streets are uneven, when you're down. When you're strange, faces come out of the rain... When you're strange......" Imagine me singing that exactly like Jim.  |

Oh. *bum bum bum bum* "People in danger. When you're a stranger. Fecaes look ugly, when your alone. Women seem wicked - when you are squatting. Streets are uneven, when you're down. When you're strange, fecaes come out of the rain... When you're strange......" Imagine me singing that exactly like Jim. Fix'd [well I dont know why its fix'd but I noticed faces sound a lot like fecaes...] |

Are those the guys with the beards? At least one of them? I may be thinking of Kenny Rogers. |

yep, Oak Ridge boys. hehe, Oak Ridge, TN, small city. In reality it doesn't feel much like a city. It's small, comfortable, clean, and friendly. It was a great place to grow up in. Full of nature, and of green areas. I loved that place. Although, I do remember that when I entered my teen years, it was getting kinda boring. But it is a great place. I like blues.  |

Vix: I'm going to do an impromptu 'Exclusive with' here and now.
1) You were born in the U.S. How old were you when you moved to Mexico?
2) Are both of your parents Mexican? Are they dual citizens?
3) Is your first language English? If so, how did you learn spanish?
4) Why did your family decide to move back to Mexico?
5) If you're a U.S. citizen, why would you WANT to have dual citizenship? Not just U.S. citizenship with a Mexican visa?
6) You're not really into furry fandom, are you?...... I'll have to take you to task if you are.

OH. Elvira. Now I know who you're talking about! I like these guys. Just never knew their names. and, Thanks, Danny. I'm glad to see you share my perspective on this, too. I was hired to do this and that. Not reveal my life history. Though, like I said, I'm getting a ton of support from the boss man. I just wish he'd send some extra financial support this way... |

Not just U.S. citizenship with a Mexican visa? 6) You're not really into furry fandom, are you?...... I'll have to take you to task if you are. ok I'll answer your questions.  1. I was 13, it was September 11, 2004. 2. Yes they are Mexican and are dual citizens. 3. Personally I can't be too sure. I speak more English than Spanish, but according to some home videos I used to only speak Spanish before Preschool. Then I forgot some Spanish, and basically spoke English throughout my life until we had to move to Mexico. There I had to relearn it. 4. This question's answer is a long story. I'll try to make it brief. My dad used to work in a Laboratory in Oak Ridge. He later discovered a fraud and well, tried to blow the whistle. After a long trial, he lost well everything. Job, house, savings, our college intuition savings (i'm not lying on this one), afterwards he moved back to find a job since the place he used to work at didn't let him find a better job around in the US. So for a better way to sustain us was was to get a job back in Mexico in the IMP (Mexican Petroleum Institute) where he worked and sent over a share for us. It wasn't really enough to cover luxuries but only the necessary, like food, water, home. But... A crisis came and he got laid off. So then he came back to discuss the issue with Mom and decided to move back to Mexico because we didn't have money to pay for anything, we then sold everything and moved to Mexico. Later after a year of economic/legal/social torture and a year of finally being able to see my father again (after a long time) we were climbing back up to stability and getting used to our new life. My dad now is one of the best people I have ever known in my life. It's amazing how he persisted to help us. He's the head of department of systems of the UAM university. he get's paid well and we are much better than how we were 6 years ago. Best part is that he loves his job and has some fame in the scientific community. 5. Well, I never really had a choice. Law states that if I was born with Mexican parents in the U.S. grounds, I have both nationalities. 6. I'm not 100% furry. I'd say more like 65%. :3 |

Jesus, Vix.
I'll bet Liberals were behind the entire business with your dad blowing the whistle - weren't they?
Are your parents conservatives?
Are you conservative?
What was this "fraud"?
PM me the answer, please, unless you feel comfortable letting everyone here know.
We're all Conservatives with a brain, here.
We'll understand.
Every block I can gather builds a bigger wall against the liberal madness sweeping the nation.

Truthfully I'm not so sure.  The fraud was about this "Revolutionary Machine" that had to deal with some sort of fusion process. My dad did certain runs, measurements and found out that the thing wasn't even capable of reaching certain temperatures and was nothing of revolutionary. He finds out that the company only let out false info to get the research money from the government. and well yeah that's how it can go I guess. |

o vix
i cant imagine living in a different country I know lots of people have lived in 2 countries in their life but I wonder
whats different and whats the same?
i know that probably has a long answer but I would find it interesting to live 1 place long enough to understand it and then moving to a whole new country how that can be different

Yeah, It is best to keep private stuff private at work. Sorry you have to go through all this.  As for future relationships. Please don't cross yourself off the list just yet. You are a very talented and handsome man. Any girl would be lucky to be with you. Let your heart mend for awhile. |

Vix: Was your dad part of the Fleischmann-Pons cold fusion debacle? It made huge news back in '89 but, was quickly defunct'ed'ed....ed. If he was the whistle blower on that one..... I salute your dad for the gall that he showed. Tell him I said so (if that was it). Beans: I'm on the 'Retired' list as far as the dating/relationship scene goes. I'll probably take a few year hiatus and then.....well, I'll be too old by that time. What I need is a Blind/Deaf/Mute woman who doesn't understand English braile. I've already addressed the problem with my 2012 public knowledge problem. Aido, Vix and Jersey have already got my back on that... Beans. You will be my newly appointed "Western Coast Intersect Secretary". You will be my eyes and ears on the west coast. Keep me informed of what the liberals are doing out there so I can intervene in time. Yeah! The perfect woman! |

I don't think so. My dad tangled up with this company called Lockhead Martin.

It's terrible that big business was able to treat Vix's father like some gangster to fallen member situation from the 1940s. I am glad that by making the best of this your father has still been able to provide a good living and a quality life for your family.
