catesta

Tod, you don't know what you're talking about. Norah Jones is the daughter of Phil and Erma Jones of Hempstead, Long Island. Phil is a plumber set to soon retire. Jean is a homemaker, and proud of it. They have three other children: Phil Jr. age 26; Darlene age 20; and Ella age 16. You're probably confused as their next door neighbor is Wally Shankar, podiatrist. Please stop spreading disinformation ya elitist scum or I'll have you banned.

Mine actually should appear as C.A. Testa. First initial, middle, and last name. From the word "testa" = head, derived from the Latin "testam" = shell, used as a nickname for physic or intellectual characteristics. Examples would be "strong-willed" or "of great intellectual ability." That sounds about right to me.

You don't know the half of it.

Right you are. B)

Ten High! Damn, we got us a party.

Thank you JM. The right thing to do here is start a bunch of irrelevant, offensive, and non-pertinent discussions. Use 3D, see any contradictions here?

Babe Zaharias, looks like she could be related to Berigan's chick.

Weizen thanks for the link. I completely forgot about that. Now it does make a little sense.

You want a babe? I'll give you babe...

Okay, I'm in the club. Can somebody run that list of perks by me again.

This one soars me past him!

This post here ties me with Johnny E as number 10!

I knew you had something going for you.

I was raised with a high sense of my ethnic heritage, and I would not have wanted it any other way. I am very proud of that. The older generations of my family only married other Italians. I think one of the main reasons for this was because of the neighborhoods they lived in were like an extension of the old country. This is not the case today. To be in touch with our history (if possible) is a good thing. There is nothing wrong with taking pride in being Irish, German, Italian, Mexican, Jamaican, Asian, or whatever you may be. In most cases ethnic festivals or holidays are shared and celebrated by all kinds, not just that particular group. People need to find the middle ground. I share my ethnicity with my friends, and they all seem to love the fact that I do. My wife is Mexican and loves having the experience of her families culture as well as mine. The key is keeping it all in perspective. I can feel a special connection to one group of people, but still want to connect with and experience the dynamics of all the others.

I think the problem may be in not knowing how to answer the questions. I'm putting some thoughts together, and will get back to you.

Yeah but, sometimes I just look at the pictures.
