If someone is slain (killed), then of course it is homicide. There is no need to "suspect" it.<BR/><BR/>The comment, "They may be on to something," is irony. <BR/><BR/>And <B>stop using "gonna"</B>! It maybe OK in informal chat and IM use but not here because it's <B>NOT</B> a word.Vanessa Vailehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647639725252430851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37860137.post-10293991289160449092007-02-20T08:21:00.000-08:002007-02-20T08:21:00.000-08:00GinyinI am sorry to hear about your father.

It is maybe his the last Spring Festival. It is really sad. I will stay at their house to see if I can do anything for them. Hopefully my kids will remember the time they spend with their grandpa when they grow up. See you two weeks later.ginyinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17154083935676732163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37860137.post-29728660622377621332007-02-15T10:18:00.000-08:002007-02-15T10:18:00.000-08:00JorgeHow is it a 'tip'?
