QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 29, 2008 -> 08:57 PM) Weak ass celebration here. That is exactly what I just said. All that jumping on eachother. Then they got up and just stood there. Odd.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 29, 2008 -> 01:40 PM) From what I understand: They were trying to put another source of income over near the "smokers" area of the park. Since so many people are having to walk down to that outside part of the park, why not put something over there for them to do. There will be no smoking there like at Soldier Field soon so I doubt that's the reason behind the renovation.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 06:14 PM) Steff, what birthday party did you decide on and how did it go? Doing it at the Children's Museum. Her birthday is next month so I'll let you know how it goes after it goes. :-)

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 03:06 PM) I hadn't seen the report from yesterday about it. I do know that the final draft hasn't been publicly issued yet. I also know that problems with the gusset plates were also discovered as early as 2003. The NTSB is not difinitive about the cause. They won't say anything more than the plates may have contributed. There is also strong evidence that the potassium acetate, used to keep the bridge of black ice, played a role. Also, in 2001 cracks in the cross girders were discovered. It's obvious that 1 thing alone didn't cause it. It was 40 years old.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 02:33 PM) We did ISR with both of our kids and I highly recommend it. My wife and I can remember back to a time when our very young children were fearful of the water but the kids certainly can't. As far as they know, they've been swimming since the day they were born. With ISR I think a lot depends on the particular instructor. Ours was great – did the lessons right out of her pool at home, and for our youngest kid I even bartered and gave her kids free guitar lessons in return for free swimming lessons. I met this instructor at a babies-r-us event and I really like her. She must have explained things to be 400 times so she's definitely got patience! Thanks for the nod. I got a ton of ref's, but it's nice to get one from someone independent. They are expensive, but well worth it for my piece of mind. Thanks!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 01:09 PM) Yeah, stratch that... I didn't realize they meant alone! No she did the lessons with Ang. Wow. I did those with Bri in March then taught her how to float, blow bubbles, wear a life vest, etc at home. I couldn't do this even if I knew how. It's going to be hard.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 28, 2008 -> 01:01 PM) Madison did it before our YMCA closed, and both mom and baby loved it. I wish we could go it with Alexis. She did ISR or swim lessons? They are not the same thing.

Just enrolled Bri in ISR classes, http://www.infantswim.com/home.html , they start next week. Anyone done this and if so I would appreciate any feedback. TIA. Steff

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Oct 27, 2008 -> 08:26 PM) I agree. I saw it in theaters and boy was that a god awful film. I heard they're planning up to 9. One of the worst movies I've seen. We originally wanted to see Changeling, but the closest theater was in downtown(I'm out in Oak Lawn), so we thought Saw V would be great considering it was sold out. Big mistake. They have signed deals to 7, but I doubt it will survive past 6 and that will only be to kill Hoffman, IMO.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 25, 2008 -> 11:39 AM) Steff...should I wait and just rent it? I'm sure you'll hear about it before it goes to rental so it's just up to you if you want to see it before that happens. Totally predictable from the way they left it and I had really hoped that didn't jump the shark... but they did. And bad. I think this will be the last one I see in the theater. 2 more are supposedly in the works. I honestly can't see where there is to go from where they are now. So disappointed.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 02:17 PM) When's the last time we've seen a good old fashioned city wide riot? It has been too long, I'll tell you that much. IIRC, 2 Halloween's ago in Detroit. Before that... one of the Bulls celebrations I'd guess.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 01:53 PM) I have a good excuse... newborn. lol I told my wife we are on a spending freeze, I dont think train tickets or downtown parking is going to fly with her. Pfffttt! Take the baby with!! Bri says Hi from her 3rd Bears game

We're going. Looking forward to see where they go with things. Should be interesting to see how the dead guy still has a major lead. And I'm thrilled were going to find out what happened to Jeff's daughter.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 23, 2008 -> 01:43 AM) Oh, steffffffff...If it's Halloween, it must be SAW! Oh, yes. Saw 5 this Friday. I'm shaking like a leaf. It's been Christmas every October since 2004 for J4L. I was going to send you a PM. Jim and I are heading to the Brew-n-view tomorrow night. It looks like it's going to be wrapping up quite a bit of stuff. Have you read anything about it on House of Jigsaw?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 16, 2008 -> 12:39 PM) FWIW, he never claimed to be making $250k now. His concerns were if he bought the business that he currently works for. FWIW he appears to be FOS and his concerns were all an act.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 15, 2008 -> 10:20 PM) Didnt watch the debate (just got home from the Celtic thunder concert), but I love this moment. McCain's like "Zero? Oh s***. really? crap. now what do i say?" If he had paid attention last week Obama said then that small businesses would be exempt to the fine and he would have avoided looking like a dumbass on that topic.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Oct 15, 2008 -> 10:00 PM) Thats important. Barack basically explained his ideals of socialism when that happened, it surprises me that nobody sees the significance of Obamas answer. Because to the folks on Main Street that can't pay their bills it's not important. They fall into the tax break bracket.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Oct 15, 2008 -> 08:59 PM) Did John McCain spend more time talking about Barack Obama or himself? He talked about Joe the plummer more than anything else.
-
QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 15, 2008 -> 10:22 PM) Well I thought Obama won. McCain was more aggressive but the bottom line was that Obama was more Presidential. Thats what Obama needed to prove in the debates, not that he was smart, not that he knew about policy, but that he could be on the stage and be a President. And this debate showed that even when McCain threw the proverbial kitchen sink at Obama, that Obama did not back down, that Obama did not sink to attacking back bringing up things like Keating 5, or acting with any sort of contempt like McCain, Obama did not almost cry when he was talking about people calling him a terrorist (as opposed to McCain who seriously looked like he might break down talking about the Wallace comparison). Obama did what he needed to do in this debate, and thats why I believe the numbers will most likely say he won. I thought Obama was purposefully timid and just didnt want to do or say anything that might hang himself. From the way he acted you could tell that he feels its his election to lose and barring him doing something ridiculously stupid he thinks he will win. And in regards to this, why is it Obama's responsibility to make Lewis apologize or correct his comments? If McCain has such an issue with it he should confront that himself. I agree Obama was conscience of his body language and in control of his emotions. Several times he even "moved on" which I thought was impressive.
