I switched anti-virus programs and just now realized the version of Norton I bought doesn't have an anti-spam filter. What's everyone using? I get most of my mail through gmail and don't have a problem with that, it's my Outlook 2002 email that is the problem right now.

Interesting. The dialog worked so well by saying Zeppelin 4, but Physical Graffiti adds an interesting twist.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 11:28 AM) I know the OKC families got nothing. I don't know about the Pentagon. IIRC they questioned it when the 9/11 Fund was established.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 11:16 AM) "And five, now this is the most important, Rat. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV..." And of course, in the very next scene they cut to, the Zeppelin song they are playing in the car is.... Kashmir, off of #%#@*&*!! Physical Graffiti and NOT Zeppelin IV. Can you feel my pain? I always thought that was on purpose, showing that he was still a bit of a nervous, sweet, insecure, teenager. Are you thinking it was a mistake?

QUOTE(mreye @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 11:14 AM) I think the people accepting these trips and gufts are worse. What kind of a person accepts all these trips from someone they know has a problem? That's the other problem. I am certain that some people smelled the money and suddenly became her friend. It seems to me she was trying to "buy friends" and probably didn't succeed. No doubt some relatives came out of the woodwork also. A terrible tragedy happened down here about 15 years ago. 21 elementary school student were killed in a bus accident. Almost all the kids came from very modest means, many of the families lives at or below the poverty level, many were first generation immigrants. All of a sudden, these people, who were masters of stretching a $20 per week grocery budget, were asked to manage hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some went out and bought "dreams" like new homes and cars. All were criticized for their lavish spending. In reality they were ill equipped to handle what was a lifetime of income in one check. They fell prey to con men and their own shortcomings. Even when steps are made to schedule payments, companies are out there that will advance you your settlement, giving you dimes on the dollar.

Some people just cannot handle the sudden loss of a spouse in a senseless act of terrorism. In the middle of the grief, they are given millions of dollars. There are stories all over the place of lottery winners who wind up broke, or worse. And they haven't suffered a loss.

It does show that money cannot replace a person. It also shows that the money will not heal, or buy happiness. I disagree that she was "lucky enough to have her husband die" :headshake

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 10:00 AM) Pardon me while I got all philosophical for a second, but I think part of the reason we exsist, is to serve as a learning tool for other Sox fans. Especially when you factor in the age difference between some of the posters, basic questions are to be expected, and if we want to help them along their trip of learning, these are minor inconviences. Also questions like that are harmless. Southsider, why did Ozzie have our pitchers batting this past weekend? That sux and is really stupid. Kenny should hire a new manager, then fire himself.

What a treat. We scheduled this Boy Scout trip to Houston a long time ago. It turned out to be Scout night so we got cheap tickets and the pitching match ups changed and Clemens was pitching. Nice to see Scott Schoenweis drop in to offer up a couple base runners and lose the game. I felt so bad for Roger. Gives up 1 run, leaves with a 3-1 lead and "Lights Out" wasn't. The "stros won in the bottom of the 9th with a 3 run walk off HR. I have to ask. I just did not like the stadium. All the services, the concession areas, etc. were very nice. But the weird slope in center field including a flag pole that is in play, the giant glass wall, etc. just seem so weird and unnatural to me. It is probably the worse layout of any stadium I've been to. Everything else, from the parking to the concessions were great, but the inside design and layout drove me crazy.

pollo guisado taco and a Big Red soda I was heading to Chicago Dogs and they were too crowded for me to wait.

Probably a good idea **********2k5 (avoiding the problem subject) I'd be interested in hearing how people would describe their ideal Soxtalk site?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 07:37 AM) Seriously, does any album flow together better than Sgt Pepper? did you catch both references?

http://www.chicagocrime.org/ Interesting site, using Google maps to pinpoint high crime areas.

Telander is by far, my favorite sports author. I'm surprised he committed to radio. I always viewed him as more of an in-depth, feature guy vs. a little bit of everything for a radio show guy.

I would like to point out that the moderating team is a large cross section of Soxtalk. Not everyone is an old fart like YASNY. With that comes a very healthy debate on the back side of how to make this site friendly for a wide range of posters. We have created forums and sub forums with this in mind. Some posters have a majority of posts in forums other than Pale Hose Talk. Others, never stray from White Sox Baseball threads. We hope there is room for everybody who wishes to be friendly, courteous, and kind. We have many examples of heated debates that did not step over and become rude. Unfortunately, we have some current threads, over silly topics, that have become rude to the point of needing to be closed. I've always used the party analogy. You come to the party, meet a few people, make a couple "friends", share some stories, hell get drunk and sing Brandy, Your a Fine Girl, at the top of your lungs and no one will care. Get drunk, call the guy next to you an idiot, piss in the corner, disrespect the guy who is throwing the party, and you *will* be leaving. Sometimes until you sober up, sometimes when many pages from the calendar have turned. If you think while suspended you can come in through the bedroom window, protected by a silver spoon, it will be a very long time before you are welcomed back. And normally when the drunk is tossed out, the party gets better.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jun 9, 2005 -> 09:43 AM) Congrats!!!!!! That is soooooooo exciting!!!!!! (Plus, baby girl clothes are way more fun to shop for....) That is sooooo true.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jun 9, 2005 -> 07:14 PM) The problem lies just as much w/ posters, old as well as new, who are impatient and carry grudges from one thread to the next. The 'riffing' after a bad idea does seem to drag on and on. It's easy to blame the problems on newbies, but I don't see that. Jmho. I have a ton of respect for a few posters who go toe to toe in one forum, never agreeing, and can bury the hatchet and agree in another. For example Nuke should be living as a Neanderthal in a cave and is an absolute idiot on foreign policy and politics in general, but somehow is a genius when it comes to baseball.
