IMO.. this is bad. There are enough organized hate groups who find gay people to torment and attack without giving them an entire building to terrorize. So much for everyone being "equal".

I understand that Jason. Remember the very first week I was here.. and what I was confronted with? I believe you were included on the PM I sent out.. A lot of people don't post here because of stuff like that. The site is great. It continues to grow. IMO.. it could be a LOT bigger and better. Hopefully we get there sooner rather then later

SS.. I am not discounting what you're saying. But where are the new members? Who's responsible for all the "hits"? Who are the lurkers and why are they just "stopping by".. As for all the posts..

And of the 745 posts so far today, 322 of them are from just the above 10 people. There are only 110 of the 910 posters with over 100 posts (what I would consider "active" - but NO OFFENSE to those that have just reciently joined ) I just think it's weird for a site with 3 millions hits.. that we don't have a more diverse, and larger, group of posters. Just making an observaton..

3.3 Million hits.. and not near the rise in contribution you'd expect. Any ideas as to why that is..? Why are people lurking and not joining/posting..?

I have the seats from Old Comiskey, too. My grama just had to have them after she sat her butt in them for nearly 30 years.. My fav memoribilia.. three way tie. 1983 team ball, 2000 team ball, autographed season ticket from Carlton's last game framed with a picture of me, him, and the bike on the field. I also have a 59 team ball.. but my grampa gave it to me so since I didn't get it myself I'm not real attached to it.

I understand what you're saying. But it goes for a good cause.. so I'm OK with it. And the fact that my dad uses Mobil gas for work (round trip to CT each week) and gets reimbursed so it's like money not spent and it adds about $20 alone each month. I just found out that ADT Security is part of it too. We got a $10 "bonus" for signing up and $2 each month. Also, there are a TON more items on the "savings list" then I thought. I hadn't registered my Jewel savings card before which gets you double credit when you use the American Express. And they have some "specials" going on as well (i.e.. 6% on certain items within a certain date). If you can coordinate your grocery shopping, it pays off. I strongly suggest anyone who has a child in their life to sign up. Even if you don't have a child personally, you can name one (neice, nephew) and change it later. Hell, ya gotta buy the stuff anyway. Might as well get something out of it. My aunt has been in it since the first started.

LOL. Gas at Mobil counts, too. And Jewel just added a lot more stuff to the list that gets you $ back. Also there are several resturants. Usually I get $30 a month.. For some reason it was $77 this month. The only thing I can figure is that they are finally crediting me for some past stuff. I tried to get on to print my statement but they are having issues. Most of the stuff I buy is @ 2%.. so that's a LOT of back credits if that's what it is.

It would be for your kids at this point

College savings program for little ones. You get a % of purchases on certain things deposited into a "savings account". My balance went up a LOT (considering the % are like 2% to 5%). Over $60 in one month. Just wondering if anyone elses did. I haven't had an opportunity to go over the statement.

Just curious if your accounts just had a surge?

Ahhhh.. touche'

Bon Jovi - It's my life. Every morning it seems to be on when the alarm goes off..

Yep.

Who besides CW asked me to get them one..? I can't find the thread. PM me so we can work out shipping details.

:finger I don't have a penis!!

youd still get loans. its called generosity. oh wait, from a species that invented the atomic bomb, generosity is a damn rare thing Moron... if you let people borrow for free and not have a way to replenish those funds while they are being used (interest) you'd run out of money and someone would be SOL. I'm not buying that A's and B's story.

Interest pays for the cost of taking money out of circulation, processing the funds, and allowing people to buy bigger and better things. Don't like it, don't use it. Pretty simple.

No. That's not what they do. Do ya know what a credit score is? Do you know what a "debt to ratio" is? Do you know what interest is or isn't tax deductable? Do you know how to file a deed transfer? Process a quit claim? Those are just a few things a loan officer does. and then after they made money they added all this crap to it to make it confusing. loans, debt, interest. i wish our financial system was like that of bible times. gimme the money and ill give ya the merchandise. no debt, no interest, none of that s***. just a very simple idea Evolution. Supply and demand. Wants and desires. While you may be book smart.. you might want to brush up on that street knowledge a bit. The world is the way it is because of human nature. And I hate to burst your bubble.. but even in biblical times there was "interest" charged. A cow was left in exchange for a horse. You don't return the horse.. bubye to the cow.

No. That's not what they do. Do ya know what a credit score is? Do you know what a "debt to ratio" is? Do you know what interest is or isn't tax deductable? Do you know how to file a deed transfer? Process a quit claim? Those are just a few things a loan officer does. all money has ever done is cause problems. people kill eachother cause of money, people marry rich people cause they have money, money has corrupted us. so anyone who works with money can go and f*** themselves If not for money your ass might be living in a cardboard box under a bridge.. or perhaps you wouldn't be her at all because your parents might not have had the MONEY to get proper medical care and your mother might have miscarried.. or worse.. died giving birth to you. Sad, isn't it.

The Sox haven't won 10 in a row.

Hey, congrats!! You figured out how to look things up on the internet!

Even though we used Marte and Gordon to the fullest extent tonight, we really don't have to worry. We have the Devil Rays coming to town, and how many of you actually think the Rays would sweep us AGAIN? In our own stadium. I sure don't. *** STFU!!! Please. And p.s.. we didn't get swept. Especially since we're picking up more and more momentum, it just keeps adding up with excellent wins. *** Ahh.. just like after we swept Baltimore... Bottom line, we'll have Gordon and Marte fit and ready for KC and Seattle. Rick White can take care of the Rays, and if need be, we'll use a different reliever, Koch, perhaps, this could be another attempt to get himself together, if we score enough runs, fine, put Koch in, he couldn't possibly blow a 8-2 lead, or something like that. *** "He couldn't possibly..." Someone call Hawk and tell him his hair is safe.

And a Kennedy

Right down the street from where I work. I'll buy ya a beer.
