I don't mind try'n - I'm not scared". I'll post back with the results. Thanks TheeMahn.

RESULTS: I'm still alive and kick'n. I noticed no problems. I saw it doing all kinds of stuff in terminal, but when it was done it said that changes would be made after a reboot. I re-booted and no problems. The updates were still there however. I went into synaptic and removed all language-packs other than english and re-booted. I'm all good now, no more language pack updates in update manger.
Long story short: Was it worth spending all that time removing the language packs from synaptic just to not see them any more in the update manager? NO - I pull down 500KB/S on cable modem, it would have taken me less time to just install the updates.
- The original point to the question was to further educate myself in a "easy way" to ignore updates that I feel are unnecessary because I never use the program or service.
- What I've learned here is what I already knew .... Synaptic will remove the program/service and you will no longer be bugged by the update. But I do wish there was a way to just tick a check-box that says "Ignore update" or "hide update" so it won't show up and bug ya ;)

Call me Mr Lazy.
Since I update what I want, when I want,
I just right clicked on Update Mgr icon, unchecked Show notifications.
Out of sight out of mind! :D

I've done that before myself, but I don't mind getting updates and having the latest is ok with me. I just didn't want to download 35 MB worth of something I was never going to use.

Many users roll through this forum, I would prefer them not do so as far as what I posted... I love each and every one of them, but many are not so computer savvy as you, I deter people from doing as of such. Thousands will view this, well now a thousand posts later I done smoked my computer, I wish I would have read 2 posts later...
