I'm confused by the thread title? Mexico?

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 07:50 AM) No, I did that! I did follow the rice, but I didn't use crutches. I didn't walk much in the days after and I did wrap it, ice it and put it up. Crap. Maybe I should go back to the doctor? (sorry my parents are useless on this topic--and I figure someone else's parents can give me good advice.) I'm with Southsider on this one. You need a Doctor and some disposable underclassman to run around fetching you stuff, making you dinner, and cleaning the house.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 07:43 AM) You are wrong. He has the right to pay for 18+ years. And if the kid isn't his, and he finds out later, he STILL has the right to keep paying, because according to the courts, since he acted like the dad, he is the dad, regardless of any possible deception that may have been in play. That only makes sense in the context of what is best for the child. And thankfully, in this country, we do value protecting the interests of children over adults. Sometimes it just doesn't seem right and fair, and probably isn't. I recall a case where a man sued the bio dad of his children. Poor guy thought he had not one but two kids and later found out both were this other guys.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 07:42 AM) :headshake Kap, Rex has Bea Arthur and I have Tommy "The Hammer" DeLay. I need a GOP hero, and a great Texan like DeLay fits the bill perfectly. I am also beginning to take a liking to Frist

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 07:40 AM) Scroll down and read. Intersting guy, and an easy explination to the pictures. I understand a collector's mentality. For some reason the FAQ didn't display on my computer.

Kap, think about this for a minute. One fundamental difference when considering the SUPREME Court, is there are no more appeals. How far back to you want to apply Supreme Court standards? Based on your standards, anyone who was already approved should be waltzed right in without discussion. Hold the phone, OMG, we have to continue any mistakes we make all the way to the Supreme Court or else the GOP will be upset. Do you want everyone voted on for an Appeals court to be put through the same process as a Supreme Court nominee? That's what would have to happen. And you would still have the issue of what they did as an Appeals Court Judge, or would that not be relevant? The fact of the matter is, each step up the Judicial ladder, should require greater and greater scrutiny. It would be miscarriage of duty for the Legislative branch to just rubber stamp any Appeals Judge to the Supreme Court. Did the White House check this guy out? Or did Bush say, he's already been confirmed, he must be good, no need to look any further? But I guess any chance to rip on Dems should be taken. :headshake

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 07:32 AM) He's married with a son. I'm shocked. I was picturing a fat 15 year old . . .

Let's also be careful in declaring a victory when our leaders meet in secrecy. I have an mistrust when our government needs secrecy, especially our elected leaders.

What are his chances of ever reproducing?

The good citizens of Sugarland will make certain that DeLay isn't going to jail.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 04:56 AM) Just called my senators and congressmen. They got the message. Go get the oil! Send the first $5 per gallon gas is YASNY. Americans have always bought American made first. When this gas is $5 and the nasty Arab stuff is $2.50, the Arabs will see what American Patriotism is all about.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 10:59 PM) How long is it normal for a sprained ankle to be swollen and painful? No more than a week. IIRC, you didn't follow RICE with the initial injury. Rest Ice Compression Elevation You should be fully healed in 2-3 weeks, at your age, and I'm guessing being average weight and fitness. The swelling should have been negligible in 4-5 days. You may have a severe sprain there.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) Maybe some provision could be put in so that in documented cases of abuse there is an "out" for a woman not wanting to say anything. In most cases, however, the husband does have a right to know since the baby is half his. Can paternity be determined that early? How would it work if the woman said "I don't know who the father is?" regardless if she knows or not?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) Uuum, Tex, whats the point of the green? Top be fair, it was a three-day holiday weekend . . .

We have the theatrics and drama I'm sensing the roar of the greasepaint and the smell of the crowd All hat and no cattle Stirring up dust When something of substance actually happens, I will be overjoyed. Until then, I'm not impressed.

The average politico in the US is still light years ahead of the rest of the world. Our system allows for average people to do extraordinary things. But we can't disturb the balance by neutering the judicial branch or silencing the press. Now if we could get both parties to stop buying success with spend and don't tax deficit spending, we might have a chance. I also hope more people here do as I do. I may defend some of my favorite candidates publicly, but these leaders also get emails when I think they are screwing up. I will be very embarrassed if my hero Tom DeLay winds up in jail.

One step closer to Hammer Time '08

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 08:02 PM) Suprise, suprise... the NY Times prints more shotty journalism. the paper is a joke.. they know it, i know it, everyone knows it. The Times is as perfect as the humans that work there and the humans they cover.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 04:41 PM) Stop looking through my bedroom window, dammit! FlaSoxxJim, I served with Jaime Presely. I knew Jaime Presely. Jaime Presely was a friend of mine. FlaSoxxJim, you're no Jaime Presely.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) You're right, of course. But Miller's involvement just pisses me off to no end. And you are right that she was a shill. She was promised some exclusive scoops and she ate it up. I guess the NYT ombudsman has reccomended she not even be allowed on the newsroom anymore. Has anybody ever had a Pulitzer Prize revoked before? No but several have been reviewed. The most famous also led to war

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 10:01 AM) Anything by the Beatles. I'm not familar with Anything, what album was it on? :finger

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 09:54 AM) What is the average rate down there? Florida also doesn't have state ic, their pt rate averages just above 4% on new construction. It depends on the local stuff, but last time I knew, it was around 4% with I believe a few places approaching 5%.

If only the Brewers kept Pods, then they would have won the WS Amazing the ex-player bashing that goes on. I figured since Lee didn't leave via free agency, there would have been less venom :headshake I can't wait to find out what a greedy bastard Konerko is and how it will suck for him in LA, NY, or elsewhere

QUOTE(mreye @ Nov 1, 2005 -> 09:45 AM) They'll never get it. :headshake Why would I care about OPS and slugging from my leadoff man? We should care about the on base percentage. The slugging is secondary. Which is why the stats geeks need to refine the OPS to reflect position in the order. It may be 75-25 for the lead off guy and 35-65 for the cleanup hitter.
