I also stopped and spoke to two tattoo artists at two different shops and they told me not to worry about anything, either. Also, I might consider going the "flu shot on the ass" route if the girl giving the shot is hot. And this time when I say "hot", I mean the type of girl I consider to be hot. You may also want to ask the nurse or a Doc about it. Does anyone know if veins move? A "stick needle here" tat might be kind of funny.

useless to resist. It's the offseason, and until some trades and stuff happens, this is about it.

The issue is probably more will the tat obscure any redness that would normally be visible at the injection site. One of the ways they can tell if you are having a reaction to the shot is redness around the injection site.

knowledge of the alphabet is not needed to be a professor

in case you wanted to know, the fruit versus veggie had to do with taxes. The country wanted to tax tomotos as veggies, the seller wanted it tax free as a fruit

TEX Rangers in 6 The last time a Texas team was in the World Series, I really couldn't cheer for them

y'all is so much more useful than use guys

We just never know what we will learn when we log on.

Up was not a horror moviem but check out Knight's list for soxtalk's top 40 horror movies of all time.

Character, Party, Resume Their individual policy views and meaningless until they achieve some sort of leadership position. It's gonna be the party. In the senate I am much more willing to vote GOP because of the nature of the debate than in the House.

I am at least starting to have some respect for the groups like the Swift Boat guys who at least identified themselves and made their accusations. Of course it is easy enough to assume that whomever is paying for the ads has a biased agenda.

Very nice touch my hat is off to you I'd be interested in reading from those that like the genre, what makes a great horror movie? The scared teenagers getting slashed just doesn't seem that difficult of a genre, perhaps that's why we have all the copy cat stuff. It seems that horror and comedies just never receive any respect.

I was in San Antonio this weekend and could not stand the ads. The b.s. that is tossed around is just embarrassing. And yes, it is from both sides. And I've sent letters to a couple campaigns telling them how insulted I was about their ads, but I assume they just figure I wasn't going to vote for their candidate anyways. Which is somewhat true. NPR just did this story yesterday and highlighted the "cookie cutter" ads that both sides are using. I believe when a campaign makes a false statement like that they should be liable to run and pay for an equal number of ads setting the record straight.

Maybe they will understand I am serious. I wish I could just ban them, but I don't have mod powers at school

Keeping these guys from lunch for basically being obnoxious assholes in class. They never listen, always disrupt. So we're going to be spending some quality time together.

One of the things I like about baseball is every field is different. Hockey has gottena way from that. Of course football and basketball have all been about the same.

Eventually the two knuckleheads I am keeping in from lunch will cave in.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 04:52 PM) I gotta call B.S. on this Tex. The groupthink that has driven the last 2 bubbles isn't going to go away. There was every reason in 2001 to think that the Stock Market was a risky investment, but books called "Dow 36,000" were still published. Housing bubbles had happened and popped repeatedly throughout history. California had one in the late 80's. There's the legendary Florida land rush before the depression. Hell, there is every reason to believe China has a monstrous real estate bubble going right now as we speak, and their interest rate increase today probably will wind up being something similar to what was going on in the U.S. market in 06 or so. If things like leverage aren't regulated, the same groupthink will take over, some wizard will convince himself he's come up with the new security, and bang. Good thought. I will agree if you placed some sort of time on that. I think this pain will be remembered for many years. But as a new generation of home buyers enters the market they will probably believe they are smarter than their parents.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 27, 2010 -> 08:05 AM) I'd always had great luck with computers, in terms of not ever having any major hardware failures. Then yesterday, I dropped my laptop, and the screen is now toast. I can hook it up to the TV and see the computer itself is fine otherwise, which is a relief. But it doesn't project well on the TV, and I'd be taking up the one TV in the house. So now, I have a debate. I see that they sell replacement screens online - and I found a manual on how to do it. Looks like major surgery. New screen is $80, but a lot of time, and who knows if I'll screw it up. Or, I can buy an external LCD monitor for like $200, and turn my laptop into a desktop. Easy, but I lose portability. Or, since its a 3 year old laptop with s***ty Vista on it, maybe now is the time to just get a new laptop. Anyone every changed out a laptop screen before? My laptop has been a desktop for a year. I was planning on getting a new computer and never got around to it. Now that checking email and stuff is easy on my phone, I feel less and less of a need for a laptop. I may just pick up a new desktop PC

I am the "gadget guy" around school and the tech department dropped off a wireless tablet from eInstruction the InterwriteMobi. Basically I can project whatever is written on the tablet for everyone to see. It will also "telestrate" notes over images and act like a mouse. I am trying to think of some projects to use it. I would prefer it be in the students hands, not mine. http://www.einstruction.com/products/inter...mobi/index.html

I believe this also ends the last of the "safe" investments, real estate. People will now understand that there are risks and values can fall. I remember buying my first house, conventional wisdom was buy more house than you could currently comfortably afford because your income will rise and the value of the home will increase. It worked wonderfully for me because A and B happened, now I realize how foolish that move may have been.

Jersey Shores is yet another reality show I will never watch. Not that I'm some high brow intellect, but it just seems stupid.,

Just wondering.

Mine would cost about that. Adding just my kids costs me $400 per month. We are a medium sized school district with the best salaries in a four county area. This is one area we lag ever so slightly behind other districts.
