QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 12:47 PM) Call them back and tell them you'll estimate the usage the next few months. It's only fair. I'm guessing you meant this as a joke, but we had an issue earlier this year and they actually asked us to read our own meter and call them back. I was like.. "ummm.. ok".

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 12:01 PM) Did anyone here by tickets for spring training games?? I bought some Jan 18th and still haven't receiverd them. Just wondering if thats the norm. We will called 'em.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 12:39 PM) I'm sure the only thing he has worth that much is the Beatles catelog he owns. I would rather see it owned by a greedy ass record company than to see that bastard Jackson own it anymore. He doesn't own it.. him and Sony own it. And he used his % years ago to secure another loan. If he owned it, there would be a lot more of it being used commercially.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 11:42 AM) O.K., that makes sense. The one article I read said that autopsy proved the mom died of a gun shot to the head. I just thought "ya know...I don't have a college degree, or a job in the field, but I bet I could figure that one out". LOL... one would think. Sounds like there was advanced decomp... Thank you CSI

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 11:30 AM) I just find that weird. Why is an autopsy needed? The bodies were discovered days after the murder (decomposing) and they needed the autopsy to determine cause and time.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 11:16 AM) I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere, but I know Roenick has severe gambling issues. I think his family wanted him to go through detox or whatever for it. Supposedly he did spend time in 2 different centers in AZ last year.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 11:14 AM) Yeah, TiVo does too, which is what I have, I have just heard of others having problems like getting cut off. You know how to go into the recording options and have it record 10 minutes past the end..?

Looks more like a rapter then a T-Rex to me.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 11:05 AM) FACT - You people know absolutely nothing regarding Saddam's WMD's. I don't know if he hid them or moved them and you don't know if he turned them all in and decided to be a nice boy. Nobody here knows any FACTS. Saddam didn't want us to know facts. Instead of saying one guy is full of s*** and speculating, while you in turn do your own specualting....just debate your opinions. You don't have anything concrete over anybody else. Word...

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 11:02 AM) That's the trick, it starts at 11:05 or 11:06 and some services list it at 11:00 Well they came out at the end so the key is to be sure to get the end...

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 10:55 AM) I am unawares as to if Humidity is bad for caulk... However, I am entirely sure that cold weather is terrible for caulk as it tends to become brittle and freeze before it properly dries. This I know for sure... Caulking in extreme cold weather just doesnt work for the longterm, it almost always cracks after a short period of time. I remember when I had the shower in the downstairs bathroom at my old house remodeled they told me that I couldn't use that bathroom for at least 24 hours and better if it wasn't used for 48. But it getting brittle makes sense, too.

QUOTE(kevin57 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 10:46 AM) I like the new look. The newspaper article about the seat replacement project not being finished for the upcoming season gave two reasons: 1) post-season play that ate into time, and 2) cold weather. Now #1 is certainly a valid factor, but #2? This has been one of the mildest winters on record. So, it was doubtful from the beginning that this project would have been completed for the 2006 season. That's okay...but just admit it. I believe it has to do with humidity more then temp? Caulk - someone correct me if I am wrong - will not set correctly if it's too humid..?

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,184325,00.html Jacko Kicked Out, Cut Off by Arab Prince Thursday, February 09, 2006 By Roger Friedman Today will be the seventh week in a row that employees at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch have not received paychecks. And now I have really bad news for them: Jackson has been cut off and kicked out by Prince Abdullah, son of the King of Bahrain. He is no longer, I repeat, not doing it anymore — not funding Jackson, his kids and nanny in an extended stay in Bahrain. The first clue that this was the case was Jackson's traveling last week from Bahrain to Germany, and then on to Italy — on commercial flights in business class. There was no more private plane. But now I'm told that the prince has been informed by his family, the al-Khalifa clan, that Jackson is no longer welcome to unlimited generosity from the Bahraini royals. In fact, Jackson is aware of this. Sources tell me that he had found a couple of wealthy families in Dubai who helped him out, but their largesse was limited. "Jackson is essentially bouncing around the United Arab Emirates looking for handouts," my sources say. Compounding this now dire situation is a sharp, harsh reality: Jackson's $270 million worth of loans owned by Fortress Investments are due on Feb. 20. Fortress had given Jackson a 60-day extension, which began on Dec. 20, to resolve his problems with it, but nothing's happened. Now Fortress will either foreclose on Feb. 20 or make a deal with Sony Music. Sony, I am told, doesn't want Fortress to foreclose and send Jackson's loans to a public auction via bankruptcy court. Sony has been negotiating for weeks with Fortress, sources say, to avoid that development. But either way, Jackson's inability to deal with reality and his financial problems constitutes a veritable house of cards. And it's all about to come crashing down.

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 10:39 AM) Will this be replayed tonight? If so, remember to extend your DVRs, it cuts out the last 5 minutes. Usually it's on at 11pm, right?

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 10:29 AM) This made me spit my coffee on my keyboard. It's the Grammy's!!! No one cares about the awards...they want to see the bands!!! Now if the show wanted to gain back some cred...it should have a short showcase of up and coming bands. That's my .02. Clean it up.. Not no one... one here. If it was focused more on the songs rather then the over the top performances and the mixing of celebs and butchering of songs I wouldn't mind.

True http://www2.oprah.com/tows/slide/200602/20...9_284_109.jhtml Many people were touched by Ryan's story, including two very special people: Mark Buehrle and Scott Podsednik from the 2005 World Champion Chicago White Sox! Mark and Scott want to show their appreciation for what Ryan gave up to help those in need. First, these Sox reps give Ryan a White Sox jersey—with his name on it! "It's not over—it gets better," Mark says. "We'd like you to wear that on opening day! We'd like you to come out and throw the first pitch at opening day! Mark and Scott have more news for Ryan—before opening day, Ryan and a guest will be flown to White Sox spring training in Tucson, Arizona—to work out with the team! Ryan is also now an official part of the White Sox family. Scott presents Ryan with the organization's Roland Hemond Award, which recognizes those who give of themselves for the benefit of others. "As a recipient of this award, the White Sox are going to fly you and a guest to the 2006 All-Star Game in Pittsburgh," Scott says. And as a coup de grace, the White Sox are going to pay for Ryan's season tickets this season!

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 09:59 AM) "Installation of the new green seats, however, won't be complete until next off-season. As the Sox played deep into October, culminating with their first World Series title in 88 years, they lost valuable time that could have been used to install the new seats. "You can't caulk under a certain temperature," Boyer said of the seat installation process." Couldn't they replace a few sections at a time during the season when the team is on roadtrips? They probably will. Brooks said at Soxfest they were going to present the worst case scenerio and hope for the best.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 09:49 AM) I really liked Kanye's first album, but it's unfortunate he's turned into an arrogant prick and stopped worrying about his music quality. I don't have the first one but bought the second one to see what he was about... So I'm not far off in not realizing what all the hype was about from #2?

Oh.. one more thing on Kanye... Why nominate a song that's deemed offensive.. ? I don't have a problem with Gold Digger.. or the use of the word in the song (I'm not black either) but why nominate it and tie his hands while performing it?

:headshake http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.ad...S00010000000001 37-Year-Old Wife Charged in Disappearance By CHARLES ODUM, AP DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. (Feb. 9) - A 15-year-old boy whose 37-year-old wife is due to give birth to the couple's baby this month was found in Ohio after disappearing from a juvenile home, authorities said. His wife, Lisa Clark, was charged with hindering the apprehension of a child in connection with his disappearance, said Douglas County Sheriff Phil Miller. She is expecting the teenager's baby in about a week. Richard Mecum of the U.S. Marshals Service said authorities tracked the boy to a residence in Cleveland through a package Clark mailed. The package contained a cell phone and a hefty sum of money. Posing as a delivery man, a deputy dropped the package off at the home and was able to determine that the boy was living there, authorities said. Mecum said the residents were unaware that he was a runaway. Clark, who was lodged in the Douglas County Jail, is expecting the teenager's baby in a week to 10 days. Her attorney, Dan Sammons, said last week she had no role in his vanishing and had no idea where he was. The two were wed in November. Clark, who was previously charged with child molestation, was released on bond on the condition that she not have contact with the teen. Clark has said she still hopes to make a life with the child groom and their baby.
