River,
That's a classy Grandma and a classy dress. I wasn't fortunate enough to have many memories of my Grandmas , but lots of those memories remind me of my mother. It's funny what you remember about people. Little acts of kindness that didn't seem like such a big deal at the time. One of the only memories of my Grandma was her double tying my shoes. Now why would I remember that? Guess it showed she cared.

A Tribute to a Life

I don't know why, but I just want to share this with you. My mother is probably less than two weeks from leaving us. One of my daughters wrote the following, and it was edited by another daughter. What can be a more beautiful tribute to a life than this?

Dear Grandma,

You have been tired for so long. We will miss you very much. Over the many years, we have told you how much we love you, but do you realize the impact you have made on our lives and how much you influenced who we are today?

For you, Grandma, we would like to say, “Thank you”.

Thank you…

Boooo Waaaaa

Instant GRATIFICATION::: Now that's a topic I like to talk about, but not tonight, I've got a head ache.

Thanks for your input, in stead off me, you have planted the seed and now we all shall watch it grow. This little girl is on a 54% draw back sense the first time she was mentioned on this web sight. At that time, I like you, enjoyed the sensations that she generated in my blood steram. The thought of the Latino nation, having their own place to express themselves, turned the light bulb on in this poor fools head. A place with a cause, a co. with a product, a slogan with with the right gingle, is where a person has to look to get an edge on the market now days.

QUE PASA (what up) is as cool as it gets in this pig neck lovers brain. Who knows their lose my be your 54% gain which my make you set stright up in the saddle and say you heard it hear first and am dam proud to be a menber of the best stock picking web sight on the web. Was looking to start a blog @ Que Pasa .com last night, about the current price & a perfect time to enter, instead I took a nap & my wife woke me up and said to get my ass to bed. Maybe at a later date we will try to convert some new members to this fine sight. Good Night All;;; Marlin

P.S. Thanks for your time & energy

[riverbabe]

In your spare time, log on to this web site, and send me back your thoughts. Just trolling for a whopper here, who knows might be the next GOOGLE, or at least make an earnest effort at the project. My e-mail and profile name is invested. Put some pictures in thier, to make the night pass, last night. Marlin

PS Call letters are QPSA on the naz.

Quepasa Corporation operates a Spanish/English language Internet portal and online community targeting the U.S. Hispanic and Latin American markets. The company's Website, Quepasa.com provides users with access to bilingual menu of resources that promote social interaction, information sharing, and other topics to Hispanic users, including blogs, chat rooms, culturally relevant channels, email, message boards, news, postcards, radio, user forums, and video. It also provides businesses with marketing tools and solutions designed to enable them to reach its community of users. In addition, Quepasa offers performance-based marketing capabilities that consist of Internet and categorized directory search. Its offerings enable marketers to display their advertisements in different formats and in different locations on its Web site. Quepasa sells its marketing services to businesses through online and direct channels in the United States, Mexico, and Latin America. The company was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Initial thoughts: I like this site immensely. It is a social networking site similar to MySpace or Facebook but its focus is on the Latino community and seems to be popular with that community and is growing in subscribers. The only thing is, it is FREE. IMHO, eventually it needs to charge a subscriber fee at least for the matchmaker service. Its only revenue right now is ad revenue. It is operating at a $11.5M loss approx. per 2006 year.

I think this could be a takeover candidate by Yahoo or the like. It is definitely not a Google. Is it a potential Whopper? Well, doggonit, if anyone wants to invest in a possible candidate selling at a very small price of $2.79 for a possible long term hold, I guess it's not a bad choice with future potential. For now, I will abstain because I am looking for instant gratification! River
