Since Dunn is having a historically bad season, no, it's not revisionist. Plug in any other player in baseball* and the results are better. *I'm not going to actually bother checking WAR or VORP, you get the point.

Jesus hates deficits. It's right there in the Bible, Matthew I think.

Bachmann: God sent the hurricanes and earthquakes because he's upset about the deficit. No, that's not an Onion link.

Others, not so much. And both might be healthy, or both unhealthy, etc. The target weight ranges make broad assumptions. Yeah, my little brother's the exact same way, so's my grandfather (well, until the metabolism slowed down and the whiskey gut kicked in). One of my friends was as well until he went on a 4k calorie plus 2+ hours at the gym daily routine. But as you say, BMI and weight ranges ares just a general guideline.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 29, 2011 -> 08:59 AM) To me, the whole paper vs electronic for bills and other documents, should be easy to solve. But of course, it is made difficult. Case in point - I changed a lot of my regular bills, like cable/internet/phone, ComEd, gas, etc., to just automatically come out of my credit card, and also only send me an email bill. Since everything happens on it's own, I was just throwing the bill out anyway. But then, due to some confusion over an old versus new account, when we got a new credit card (from expiring), Comcast updated our OLD account that had been closed for months, instead of the new one. A bill was missed, then another. Meanwhile, they sent no extra emails, made no phone calls, sent no mail. So of course the bills I got just said "your statement is ready to be viewed", and I didn't know anything was wrong. Until they cut off our services. This should be abundantly clear and simple. If someone is on e-bill, keep it that way, but if something has gone wrong - like a missed bill or the like - then you should call, mail, email something other than "view your bill", ANYTHING to get their attention, before actually cutting off their services. Pissed me off, especially since it was them who put the new card info to the wrong account (and after I told them this, they did indeed remove the late charges). E-bill can be great, if used properly. Comcast is great for that, I had essentially the same thing happen several times.

that's after working out all summer and adding weight. Runs in the family.

I'm 6'3" 165 lbs

It's still real to me, damn it.

States Rights! Are all these pledges something new or is this pretty standard Republican politics?

I don't, I think the only one I watched was parts of the first Survivor.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 03:03 PM) Remember how things went for the folks who didn't/couldn't evacuate before Katrina. You can only tough it out as long as you have food and water. I don't know exactly where you live, but keeping a week's worth of fresh water in my apartment would be nearly impossible, and I'm going to at least guess that "Space" is a lot more expensive in NYC than where I live. One thing I learned from The Road: if it looks like the world is ending, fill up your bathtub.

Right, which is why some people like myself and Milkman are repulsed that these shows exist and are so popular.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 26, 2011 -> 02:33 PM) Actually she became famous for first being friends with Paris Hilton who got famous for being a drunk whore. The key point is that none of these people really have any redeeming qualities.

Ron Paul usually gets attention for his Austrain economic policies and isolationist foreign policy, but one thing that's usually ignored is that he's a staunch social conservative.
