  1. Damn, I'm trying to decide if that's a good pet peeve, what do you think? You know some people just take a little longer to decide BEGOOD. I guess it kind of qualifies but is it just a peeve or would it be a pet peeve? Do they come in a different box? I don;t know if I should get a pet . . .
  2. I would also if we are talking temps, if we are talking girlfriends . . . maybe not. We are having almost perfect weather everyday.
  3. I do not follow the Cubs. Who is Mad-duex replacing in their lineup? Tell it it isn't their 4th or 5th starter. If he ius fitting into the 5th starter role, that is stout.

  8. God it's going to be a nightmare. Down here everyone assumes I'm a ScRub fan since that's the only team in Chicago I feel bad for y'all that have to live near them. I'm going to try and be happy for the fans. I realize they are the same guys that cheer the Hawks, Bulls, and Bears. We all love Chicago pizza. I may even get to the point that at least someone in Chicago wins a championship. I know some are even good baseball people that now an ERA from a Latte Still, it's a nightmare
  9. I am not going to a restaurant that is charging me for steak, serving me hamburger, and saying only if more people show up they promise to serve steak. Over and over again Sox fans have demonstrated they will support a winner.
  10. The only one that seems a little out of place is the Yankees.

    Smoking

    Smoking 'makes you more angry' Date: February 19 2004 People who get angry easily may be more likely to become addicted to smoking, according to a new study. Nicotine causes dramatic bursts of activity in certain brain areas, but only in people prone to anger and aggression, say American researchers. It is the first evidence that people with certain personality traits may be more likely to take up smoking and become hooked. It might also explain why some people find it harder than others to give up the deadly habit. Researchers, led by psychiatrist Steven Potkin at the University of California, Irvine, studied 86 people wearing nicotine patches. They were given tasks, such as playing video games, to characterise their personality type. Their brain activity was monitored before and after receiving low or high dose nicotine patches, or a fake patch. The scientists found that the drug stimulated parts of the brains of those with aggressive tendencies, even at low doses. The same was true for people who did not usually smoke. But more relaxed people did not show the same brain activity in response to the nicotine. At the same time, the nicotine actually made the angry personalities more aggressive. Dr Potkin said: "They may smoke to feel better, but they don't feel better." Scientists suggested that the findings could explain why many teenagers take up smoking, at a time when hormonal changes can lead to increased feelings of anxiety or aggression. But more research is needed to prove the links between aggression and smoking addiction, scientists said. "We're looking for the variety of things that could make people likely to smoke, and this could be one of them," said William Corrigall of the US National Institute on Drug Abuse. Other factors, such as growing up with smokers, and the circumstances in which people try to give up the habit, could also affect why people become so addicted to nicotine. If doctors could detect those most at risk of becoming addicted after just a first few cigarettes, they could target them with smoking prevention programmes, the scientists said.
  16. Steve, where did you find the avatar of my neighbor
  17. Actually that isn't the spot, it is just in front of there and it is uncomfortable when you jam way up to check. By turning your head and coughing you will feel the out pouching. Let's all do it now
