The world has ended for my daugher
QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 03:16 PM) Bad dad. This would not have happened if you did her homework for her.. She would have gotten that first B a looooong time ago. She is heading to the International Baccalaureate programnext year, so I hope she learns to adjust her thinking on grades.

The world has ended for my daugher
She just received her first B. After 9 years of all As, she ran into a teacher from hell, and pulled a B. It is mostly her fault, but can dad tell her that? Noooooooo. I tried talking to her bedroom door, but the door doesn't seem to be to receptive right now. I also know she received a high A the first 6 weeks and will finish the semester with an A, but she doesn't want to hear that either. Ahhh over achieving, type A, personalities.

GOP Backing Away From Tough Immigration
QUOTE(mr_genius @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 02:23 PM) you keep insisting that is what the GOP wants, but you're wrong. what does the president want? what do most of the GOP want? Well from here and elsewhere, it is the most conservative that have spouted off ideas like expelling them. The conservative talk show hosts have spoken that Bush is wrong. It certainly isn't the Dems who are talking expulsion. Does anyone have any idea how remote and long our borders are? How are we going to pay for the ultra tight border? To stop undocumented workers? What a waste of money. But of course the usual GOP plan would be to cut taxes and then we'd be able to pay for that.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 02:08 PM) Why the green? 13 should be enough to win. They need to score exactly 13, I hate rooting against, but I think you are correct, 13 should win it.

GOP Backing Away From Tough Immigration
QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 01:23 PM) Theres one important difference between American poor people and illegal immigrants. American poor people actually belong here. Well go ahead and expell all of them, I'm certain we will find 12,000,000 people to take their place. Dumb and short sighted, but if that's what the GOP wants. :headshake

Income Tax Deadline Ahead
QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 11:51 AM) question... If you don't owe anything, do you have to file? Do you mean you had no income? Then no. And there are certain minimums on income. But the bottom line is that most of the time, if your receive a W-2 that you paid income tax during the year, you need to file a return*. *Not a substitute for actual expert advice. YMMV.

Ozzie hints at Bmac closing, possibly
The whole modern closer thing has spun out of control. It seems now they have to be part psychotic, and have a razor thin point of great / suck.

Income Tax Deadline Ahead
QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 11:39 AM) I actually got money back this year (albiet very small) for the first time in 5 years. Gotta love mortgages. Send 'em more during the year and getting a bigger check, and a warning I am amazed by people (not you) who look at this like a savings account. They knowingly overpay during the year, giving a zero interest loan, and enjoying a big refund, that they reduce by paying for electronic filing and a cash advance. Why not pay the correct amount, put the oberpayment in a savings account, and earn interest?

Duke Lacrosse Rape Allegation
Meanwhile, any team that hires a stripper should probably think twice. Tossing another bone out there, do we think if this had been Duke's basketball team they would have been so quick to cancel the season? I believe, not a chance. It is pretty easy to cancel a non-revenue sport.

Black Alternate Jersey
Is pitcher's choice a team thing or an established custom around the league? I'll join those in saying it's the first I knew that, I assumed the team had to notify the league in advance if they were making a uniform switch. I figured there was a schedule laid out at the start of the year since some of the uniforms corresponded with special events. Google search, Diamondbacks have the SP select.

Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 09:51 AM) The boots always fit huge and loose on their legs, so they move around, not to mention, it's summer, aren't they hot as hell? Not unusually hot. Your feet and lower legs are always in shade. Actually sandals and stuff with the sun beating down, are hot also. The desert dwellers learned a thing or two about surviving in heat and sun. Loosly wrapped, garmets covering the skin are usually cooler. It is also one of the times in the out of doors where cotton actually works well. In cold weather cotton kills.

Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 09:46 AM) I saw a lot of this when I was in Cali. recently and now I'm seeing it here these past few days that we've had warm weather. Women wearing shorts or short skirts and huge cowboy boots. WTF? I'm not sure I like it. Anyone? I prefer jeans and boots myself. The skirts and boots just seems a little weird. BTW, a great fitting pair of boots is about the best feeling on the feet. I have a pair of Justin steel toe ropers that are more comfy than slippers. Two for one
