After all the damage that New Orleans has suffered, the city managed to rebuild the Superdome and get the Saints back to where they belong (I wished they would have stayed in SA) and now they get the Hornets back home for basketball. That is such good news.

I hope that city is repuilt the way it was. It will be a bummer to miss out on the old Mardi Gras...

the San Antonio Saints can stay in NO for a little while longer...

I type fast too. But I find the backspace key fast. A lot of times when I type I need to make sure I spell correctly and I can't expect spell checker to fix all my mistakes. When writing a paper for english or the SAT or TAKS or whatever else, I need to spell everything good. you play how you pracitce, in this case I write how I practice

up here in Rhode Island everyone either roots for the Giants or the Jets. I myself am a Jets fan. The Giants managed to lose to the Dallas Cowgirls this year, so I don't root for them anymore.
