I am thisclose to buying a Ford F150 4x4 from a friend in the north suburbs. I have a few options for getting it to Texas. One I am exploring is shipping, anyone have any experience with a shipper? Also it has a light duty snow plow which I plan on selling. Anyone need one? It was $400 new, I'll take less than half that if you will remove it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2012 -> 10:56 AM) because it isnt impossible. Just a change of direction. Correct. Of course not many people would like to think about how nice it will be if it works out.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2012 -> 08:28 AM) Well we both know Kenny never trades anyone, and he always has the same roster. With caulfields predictions of doom and death, and fathom's worrisome assessment of Robin Ventura through 26 games, and Marty needing to trade everyone and anyone, we should really start to think about the Sox quitting the AL and moving to the Independent league. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 6, 2012 -> 09:14 AM) why the green? it is true Fixed. Just pointing out that Cowley would fit better here than we like to think. BTW, great post earlier.

I've been busy the past few days and honestly not following the team. Imagine my surprise this morning as I read this thread. I kept looking over my shoulder to the window, half expecting the sun not to rise. I don't like that the team is in a position that they feel this is a necessary step.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 4, 2012 -> 03:41 PM) If the Sun Times employs a person to portray a misogynist, then truly, anyone who links to that paper should be embarrassed. I'm not certain why you quoted my post?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 2, 2012 -> 10:59 PM) Wait you created this post before the game vs Cleveland for the first place? JINX! Everytime I see your avatar I think who is that kissing a dog and why is the dog wearing a green shirt

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 3, 2012 -> 12:29 AM) I wanted to use another example. Michael Richards/Kramer from Seinfeld. He was (rightfully) battered and vilified for comments he made while in his "comedian mode." So if he says things like that while either on stage or in the act of personifying Cosmo Kramer (but theoretically not the "real life" Michael Richards), is that not also excusable under the same protection? And what is the difference? It really depends on who wrote the script and the intent. If an actor is hired to portray a racist, etc. and delivers a credible performance as such, it is wrong to call them a racists.

How many more years do we have him locked up . . .?

This is rapidly becomming my favorite thread. I Cowley Controversy and Comments.

Or controversy as he pitches 7 1/3 giving up 1 earned . . .

I would like to see the 2-2 plan. It is a 33% reduction but you only lose one game per year. Actually I'd like to see it dropped all together but you can't put the cat back in the bag.

Not one of ours. The rental company rented the jet skis to two adults and the dad and his friend allowed the kids to operate the pwc without the proper training. These units had 115 hp engines with top speeds around 50mph. The kids were cutting in and around the fishing boat, doing donuts and finally lost control and steered right into the path of the fishing boat. That guy has to live with the accident. Sad all the way around.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Apr 30, 2012 -> 02:46 PM) So my parents decided to become permanent campers like us. Since they are going permanent, they decided to upgrade from their 23-foot expandable to a 29-foot travel trailer. We went with them to look and found one that we fell in love with. So now we are upgrading from a 12-foot pop-up to a 32-foot travel trailer. It's got an entire room with 4 bunks in the back and a TV hookup, so our kids can have their own little space. I just got the call that we've been pre-approved for the loan. Got to go up and finish the paperwork this weekend. Hopefully we'll be all be camping in our new trailers within the next 2 weeks. Anyone interested in a 12-foot pop-up or a 23-foot expandable? Both are going up for sale real soon. Actually I am looking for a pop up but the shipping to Texas may be too much.

People add stuff to their cars and don't believe they are NASCAR wannabees. People add stuff to their bikes without thinking they are Lance Armstrong.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 30, 2012 -> 11:41 AM) Is it Getty Images? They are well known for this type of action.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 30, 2012 -> 01:49 PM) Yeah, one tragedy is a good reason to ban DUI. And I'm for banning the equivelent action in concealed carry laws. The legal limit for DUI in most areas is .08%. People are allowed to drink as long as they do not reach that limit. I believe people should be allowed to carry, however some actions should be punished. Threatening with the gun would be one such action.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 30, 2012 -> 12:05 PM) And thousands of people do drive home intoxicated without incident. yet you want to ban things when one tragedy happens.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 30, 2012 -> 08:00 AM) Or, we place limits on Alcohol and arrest people for misusing it. I think that you've just made a great comparison. Legalized concealed carry laws are just like legalizing DUI. Thank you for agreeing it is a great comparison. Of course you then tried twisting it in an illogical manner to suit your argument. Legalizing CC laws is like the 21st Amendment, legalizing alcohol. We then arrest people for misusing guns or alcohol. You can safely carry a concealed weapon, you can not safely drive while drunk. You seem to believe that anyone carrying a weapon is automatically placing everyone else at risk like a drunk driver.

Sure Balta one bad apple and all. BTW instead of comparing guns to cars, let's compare guns to something that does not serve any valuable purpose in our society, alcohol. You start looking for stories of irresponsible gun owners and I'll start looking for irresponsible drinkers and the damage they do. If we apply the same standards to everything else that you apply to guns nothing will be allowed. This weekend a 13 year old kid died in a jet ski accident when the operator was irresponsible. Let's ban jet skis. Utopian societies where all risks are eliminated does not work.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 29, 2012 -> 05:28 PM) So what you are saying is that the Mexican government is so rife with corruption that when banks report to a government body that the information is readily available to cartel and other unsavory characters to use for nefarious activities? i can believe that, seriously. With the oil down there the country should be rich, with no need to send its poor northward. But we all know it isn't Perhaps in your end of the country they are sending their poor. Here, the wealthy arrive to invest, educate their families, and pursue the American dream. Over half of the real estate on South Padre Island is owned by Mexican Nationals, over 80% of the new business start ups in our area are started by Mexican Nationals. And think about all the professionals that immigrate here from everywhere else on the planet. It isn't because they are all poor. Mexico has few privacy laws. Just like we know how much Obama gifts to his children each year, tax reports and such are public information.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 29, 2012 -> 03:25 PM) I think that may be a little overboard, but I do think that there is a lack of profound respect for guns in general. Usually by the anti crowd. The anti gun crowd blows guns way out of propertion more than the small minority of legal, law abiding gun owners who think of them as toys to be played with. I've been around a lot of gun owners, soend a lot of time on various Scout gun ranges, and I can't think of one that acts like Balta has painted some gun owners to act.
