WillieStoke in Love
Let me add this. All the old married couples I know, who have been married 20+ years, didn't meet in a bar. Could just be the social opportunities in the 70's, maybe not.

Should the draft be reinstated?
With U.S. forces stretched thin and many reservists on full-time duty, some urge a draft for reasons of fairness and practicality. Opponents say it's unnecessary and dangerous

D.C. Council Bans Cell Phones While Driving
WASHINGTON -- Anyone wanting to talk on a cell phone while driving through the nation's capital better have a hands-free device soon. The D.C. City Council Tuesday afternoon gave final approval to a bill making it illegal to use a hand-held cell phone while behind the wheel. There will be exceptions for emergencies. Ward One Councilman Jim Graham was the lone dissenter. Graham has expressed concern about using police resources to enforce the law. The measure now goes to Mayor Tony Williams, who has indicated he will sign it. Assuming he does, enforcement would likely begin in July. Violators would face $100 tickets. New York has banned use of hand-held cell phones while driving since 2001, when it became the first state to do so. Officer, I'm not talking - I'm listening. It's my wife

Alomar--HE GONE!
This helps my off season plan of driving my expectations as low as possible. Currently in my mind we are in 4th with the Tigers charging hard. By the time the season starts I want to expect a 100 loss season. That way if we get swept opening weekend, I won't be suicidal.

Forum Behavior
How many forum members does it takes to change a light bulb? 1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently 7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs 1 to move it to the Lighting section 2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section 7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs 5 to flame the spell checkers 3 to correct spelling/grammar flames 6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid 2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp" 15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct 19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum 11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum 36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty 7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs 4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's 3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group 13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too" 5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy 4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?" 13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs" 1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

Somebody Found the Ticket
If someone lost a valuable picture would our answer be the same? Someone lost a valuable item, all the same laws would and should apply just like any other item. The courts would make a resonable attempt at determining the owner. When she came forward, her history (is she trustworthy? has she made other claims that proved to be false?). Our society doesn't operate on finders keepers.

I think...
No I opened and added the wrestling pic. As noted above, I locked earlier than I announced which blocked you in the middle of your post. I don't think it is always what was added but the fact that a feature given to a few was used. In my case it was a little joke. That may be viewed as being even more wrong and perhaps mockingly than you wishing to make a point on topic. While Steff was being kind, I assume others may call it a mod power trip, which I will be more sensitive to.

I think...
I have also been told that I closed the thread earlier than I announced. I checked my PC clock and it was about 5 minutes fast. So any posts that came in after I locked I am partially to blame.

Somebody Found the Ticket
I think the court would find it very coincidental that the numbers she's played for months all of a sudden someone else played exactly the same week she stopped. Courts have had to summon the wisdom of Salomon before. Look at Bonds baseball. There wasn't case law on that before.

I think...
Guilty as charged. I appologize to anyone who felt it was wrong.

Somebody Found the Ticket
I am not an attorney, but I would assume she could prove ownership a few ways. 1. A history of playing those numbers. Perhaps losing tickets, etc. 2. The stores camera may have had her come into the store at the time the ticket was sold. 3. Fingerprint or DNA evidence.

At least you wouldn't have to worry about a pissed off boy friend.- Sperm counts have dropped
With 1/3 the sperm, where do you go?- Brrrrr....
freezing my ass off. We hit 70 yesterday. Should be back up into the 80s by the weekend.- Sperm counts have dropped
Mr Silver Lining! BTW, what is 1/3 more of zero?- A Racy Poll....
- Palestine vs. Israel
In the archives my good man. At times we had great debate and at other times, some mud slinging. I had hoped it would die a natural death. Yesterday it dropped to page 2 for a while but came roaring back. Further debate is pointless, no one is changing their minds. We are just going to increase the flames. Let's learn from past mistakes. Brando, Kudos for a topic that carried on way longer than anyone would have thought.- Palestine vs. Israel
Anyone support at 10:20 a.m. lock? Give everyone one last chance to state their position, perhaps without any character assasinations?- Palestine vs. Israel
Do you mean Israel is only responsible for the Jews living within the borders?- Palestine vs. Israel
You said Arafat should be assasinated. Is that in self defense? - Sperm counts have dropped
