I was just thinking about the Nanny-gates that have come up through the years. Does anyone know what the requirements are if you only employe someone on a per job basis? For example if you employ a guy to paint your fence one day, do you have to report it and pay taxes? I didn't think so. We have not employed a live in maid since moving down here, but we have had a woman come in twice a week on a per day basis. I never even considered the possibility that she was an "employee" and I would have to report the money we paid her as "income". Anyone here with knowledge in that area?

I was a little surprised at Joe Lieberman being mentioned. Kerik was the first cabinet pick that I really didn't like. I thought Bush was doing a very good job of re-staffing up until Homeland Security. I am starting to remember why I liked Bush right after he took office the first time.

There are stretches out near Big Bend with zero, nada, zip, FM radio stations. That has to be the only place in the US. I hit scan and it just kept going around and around the dial. There were a few AM stations, I could here Rush for part of the dive lucky me Kap, one time heading out to the Davis Mountains after a prolonged rain, the purple sage was all in bloom. For that drive, West Texas was the most beautiful landscape I'd ever seen. The mountains, the flowers, the cactus were just incredible. The one thing that I was disappointed in was the stretch with all the wind mills. I thought it would look cool, they are an eyesore. Now I know why wind has so many opponents.

I promised a Soxtalk cap to the winner, PM me to discuss.

We started a pick the loser way back when, was a winner decided?

Trades usually involve a team with an abundance of something sending that to a team that has less and vice versa. With modern baseball we have to include money in the mix as well. So what do we have an abundance of in the system that could be traded? Starting pitching? Closers? Middle? Utility players? OFers? IFers? Money? Power Hitting? DH? What area can we afford to drop a little in without destroying any chances? Where are we clearly worse than most teams?

Not bad for a first attempt. My son is teaching me photoshop. I really want to get this into flash and have the tail fly up and a poof of gas come out . . .

Nice guy, loyal, worked hard. Greedy bastard owners cutting him while he's injured. What happened to loyalty? I sure hope players don't start acting like the owners. Alomar, Kelly, and now Danny. :headshake

Funny post of the year OMG!!

Critic Because Gage was so kind While out to lunch with her, do not forget to chat endlessly about your man-crush on Buerhle, chicks dig that warm sensitive, not afraid to show your feelings. Seriously, this is really easy because it's blockbuster, go in when it is slow, just ask her out and if she starts laughing, just transfer your membership.

Could someone give me three reasons why Randy Johnson would want to finish his career in Chicago? Money? Championship? Hometown boy? He has his pick of teams. What would move Chicago into prime consideration?

Some new members appear confused by our policy regarding 4-letter words. Despite popular thinking, some 4-letter words are frowned on here. For new, and old, members I offer this substitution guide. Banned word Cubs -- Official sub ScRubs Banned word Sosa -- Official sub Shamee While not quite official and not exactly 5-letters, it is becoming increasingly fashionable to substitute greed son of a b**** for Maggs.

Do the laws against double posting apply where the poster is, the server is, or the person filing out the complaint? I believe it calls for the death penalty on some anal WS bulletin boards, fortunately not here. This has got to be the most bizarre argument I have ever read here, and we've had some bizarre ones. Anyone catch the irony of the thread being titled "Whose story do you believe?"

steff, I think it's heaven forbid Heaven for bid is usually on late at night with a toll-free number to call with your credit card for instant salvation

but us talking about it added two to ours

I owe that kid $2, I bet him he wouldn't do it

I'd join you with that lung donation* But it always seems to come down to this kind of crap (purely made up) Buerhle, Konerko, and a prospect for Johnson. We can never seem to sign that over the top pick without giving up a piece that put us on the edge to begin with. I am beginning to believe we will need to really catch lightening in a bottle via our farm system. *but only to encourage and hold your hand while you were being wheeled into surgery

Problem is we cannot just *add* him to this team. We have to give up a lung. If it was simply adding him, I'm with you all the way.
