Now aint this a hoot! (Con)nolly obviously doesnt represent me on this issue either. Just what we needed was another "task force".

Connolly and the supervisors have resisted pressure from Prince William County and other jurisdictions to follow their lead in trying to drive out illegal immigrants.

Under what circumstances are you meeting FCPD? Personally, I have only met ones that belong to the American Legion, NRA, and a hunting club. Ive only been pulled over once in the last 30 years. When my kid was 16 and really "getting into" driving, I let her put the annual stickers on the license plate. She put both of them on the front tag and I didnt realize it until the week after.

As I sit here reading these posts, the FFx County Police and Fire Dept. sirens are blasting away, heading towards I-66 and Rt. 123 Interchange. Several sirens and I cant tell how many. If I were the one who called 911, Id hope they'd have enough resources to deal with the situation. Its not unusual to hear a helicopter over head several times a day.

How much floor space? How high the ceilings? Perhaps if the current owner would share that info with you. Homeowners Association fees are important. How much do they go up each year? I moved from a small single family home in South Arlington to a TH in Fairfax. Better deal. Electric stove and heat/AC. Better deal there too because the electricity rates dont fluctuate nearly as much as gas someti

First of all, I have watched many people get carried away with themselves over real estate investments over the past few years. I thought they were going too far over-board as they are not real-estate professionals. (neither am I).Speculators and "flippers" have created a monster and they will pay the price. I was also shocked as to how many people bought into ARM's. They, (the ARM's) are a disas

As this story is often told, I just shrug and say, "This is what happens when people take sports so seriously they let it rule and ruin their lives."

Yes, they are felons when they cross the border illegally. No question there. Mexicans Without Borders is advocating and supporting criminal activity.

Saw in the news this morning that illegals in PW are going to boycott all businesses not displaying a specific sign for one week. Good! Ill go over to PW and shop next week.

You have just been screwed by what we referred to in the Army as "the green weenie" 3 years is a better deal if you should decide that you dont like the Army. You may have a way out of 6 yr. but you'd best be camped on that Recruiters doorstep until he gets it resolved. If you show up in a dress, they'll definitly send you home, but it will be etched in your legal record for the rest of your life
