What is interesting and important is how many people agree and will pass it on. It becomes "true" in the sense that three or four years later, it is still in circulation.

Welcome to my world. Areas we previously used for camping are impossible now. Too many stops along the way. Meanwhile, if you are from a different country than Mexico, and can reach the beaches of Florida, you are welcome to stay. If you are from Canada and wish to stay in the US, you automatically can for 6 months, it's 30 days for Mexicans. Although Senator Cornym ® of Texas is working on changing that last inequity in the law. You were lucky, you don't "look like an illegal". Imagine if you are a Mexican-American. Perhaps third or fourth generation. Your border experience would have been different. You are correct, it is sad.

Wow. I know with a high profile murderer like this there is a propensity to try and pin as many unsolved cases as possible. I didn't realize he may have had victims outside Wisconsin.

35 in Chicago, 10 in Texas. I was an avid winter outdoors person. From ice fishing to black and white winter photography I found every excuse to be outdoors. It is so much easier to deal with the heat and humidity than the cold. Never having to say, crap I forgot my gloves/hats/scarf/boots etc. But you have to pay your dues with one summer. Once you are acclimated, it makes all the difference in the world. 100 degrees with 40% humidity means drinking an extra glass of water and the ice in your margarita melts faster. -10 with wind means bundle up or die.

BTW, has anyone lived in both extremes?

Of the two examples you give, one can kill you quickly and result in fingers and toes to frostbite. I'll pass on the boots, hats, gloves, long underwear, chapped lips, numb fingers, toes, and nose. Hmmmm, where would I rather be?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 06:13 PM) I will say I'm cool with snow so long as I don't have to deal with 110 degree heat with humidity (which I occasionally actually do have to deal with). If it's cold, you can keep on adding layers of clothes. If it's hot, you get stuck sweating your ass off in underwear. Both ends of the scale are a b****. The 100+ days of 100+ degrees down here can wear on you. I spend most of those months down at the Island so it isn't too bad. And like Chicago winters you go from a climate controlled home to a climate controlled car to a climate controlled office.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 06:26 PM) Ted Haggard issued a statement today proclaiming that he was now "completely heterosexual" So am I. Big deal. What a moron.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 10:41 PM) This might have come out incorrectly.... Ted Haggard promoted Colorado's marriage amendment last year, where he was a pastor of a megachurch. But if people who support gay marriage bans want to use this as a reason to ban gay marriage, they ought to put their money where there mouth is. I believe they need to put something else where their mouth is. That's the whole point I can't believe this is America in 2007. Equal rights for equal people seems simple enough for me. All men are created equal.

Happy Birthday Y'All

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 5, 2007 -> 09:25 AM) You whiners aren't the only ones dealing with the harsh winter weather. Hell, I almost couldn't wear shorts outside this weekend it was so nipply. The real test for me is if the Tevas have to be replaced with real shoes. No Shirt No Shoes No Problema

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 12:12 PM) why is it a bad idea to try to break the best known possible link between climate change and human interaction? Because it may benefit liberals and that is always a bad thing. So be a good conservative and pollute! Drive extra miles today. Use more oil! We are so in trouble when we even divide up something as important as our environment as benefiting liberals or conservatives. Like breathing cleaner air is a bad thing.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Feb 6, 2007 -> 11:23 AM) Maybe the dino's drove around in big SUVs, worked at big factories, and were too tied to Oil. Maybe we don't want to be the dinos . . .

Liberal agenda? What are we doing to try and protect our environment that is wrong and would be part of a liberal agenda to take over the country? For example, I just don't see where driving less, and using less oil, is so bad.

I am so conflicted with this area. I see a flag being raised or lowered and I stop and show the proper respect. Most others don't even notice. I see a worn flag and wish the people would replace it, yet I am grateful it is even being displayed. Like Nuke, my workday, when I am in the office or at one of our satellite facilities, begins with the raising of the flag and ends with retiring the colors. That doesn't make me more patriotic, nor does it make me a better American. But I do believe strongly in that respect. I treasure living in a country that allows for the freedom to choose. To not stop, to not pay attention, to not care, that doesn't bother me. Blatant, active, willful disrespect does. I will support your right to sit quietly, but respect my right to salute and recite the pledge. And by the way, also respect my right to offer a prayer to my God as I will respect your right to offer a prayer to your God.

The quality of the experience on your computer is directly tied to your system. Your connection, memory,. display, etc all come into play.
