I'll start thinking like that in December, Maybe January QUOTE (bobryansson @ Sep 14, 2010 -> 09:37 PM) The players performance, though not right now what we want, is not because they are lazy or don't care. Baseball's hard and they're playing better than most everybody. They are going to win around 90 games. They've even played well recently. Twins have just played lights out. We do have young talent. Some perspective. Hindsight is always easy. They're still my team, and I get frustrated, sure, but I love 'em.

What problems have you been having with T-Mo? I have been with them for years without any real complaints other than my Dash sucks as a phone. I am thisclose to picking up the Samsung Vibrant today and going a couple more years with them.

If we signed guys just to stop Minny from getting them, well that's kind of silly. As it turned out yeah having Thome probably would have made this race closer. But the decision to not sign *Thome* AT THE TIME was not that bad of a decision. It's almost like going back to a draft after 5 years and figuring out who should have been drafted. But honestly, I believe if we did sign Thome, we'd still be in this spot and people would be ripping on K-Dubya and Oz for going into the season with an aging DH who couldn't play full time.

This kid is amazing and coachable. We discussed a strategy for the race, I explained about being patient at the start with 150 runners all heading for the same turn. At 1/4 mile he was in 30th place out of 150. At the 1/2 mile mark he was in 1st, by the end of the race, which was dropped to 1.2 miles, he was 30 seconds clear of the field and just cruising along. I'm going to start running him against 8th grade for the last couple meets before our district meet to get him some extra work.

I have one of the top 7th graders in the state running for me. I thought I was nervous when I ran, I'm dying right now getting ready for a huge meet today. He'll be running against a couple hundred local kids at 2 miles. He had been racing 1,500 over the summer. I've been pointing him towards our district meet in October, but it is hard to not want him to just win every race. I also recognize he probably needs me the least, I have twenty five other runners to worry about as well.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 02:49 PM) That problem doesn't always go away when you are married. You get stupid stuff like "you're not an authorized user" or "your name isn't on the account". Kind of, but I learned the hard way that when you are married, a spouse can open an account using your SS# and you are liable. For example, if you mother f***ing psycho b**** soon to be exwife, living in her own place, can't get a f***ing electric account in her name because the stupid b**** can't balance a check book and bounced dozens of checks, she can open one in your name and SS#, legally. Later when she stops paying the bill, they will shut off your totally up to date, never been late, electricity because you didn't pay *her* damn bill (which you never authorized to be in your name). All this without you even knowing she's behind and your account could be shut off. not that I'm still angry or anything.

My next birthday will be so nifty Tex will be the big fifty I really do not feel like it at all. I wonder sometimes how old my students think I am.

I'm purposely avoiding talking about a small town mayor, state rep, etc. I'm talking Congress, Senate, Governors, and major city Mayors. Do they have to be a little dishonest to keep their office? Do they have to bend a few ethics rules? Is raising campaign money always a dishonest process? What standards can we realistically hold our officials to?

Living in sin and loving it. I checked off engaged because we will probably do some legal thing sometime. It has really brought home some of Rex's points about gay marriages. I see how frustrating simple things are when you are living together, in a very committed relationship, and the electric company won't talk to you because you aren't married.

Actually I am planning on this as a gift for my girlfriend. None of those newfangled gadgets for me.

And isn't the goal of a grassroots effort to gain powerful supporters?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 11:24 AM) Oh please. You could propose a plan for health care right here in this forum, and I could label it StrangeCare - is that an insult? I just don't see it. I believe it is used as an insult way more than a neutral label.

While I usually dislike unitaskers, especially in electronics, this is one where I'd want the best format and screen for reading, no compromises.

I am thinking of getting one and wondering what anyone is using one and what they think.

Balta, great post.

Happy Birthday WinoDJ

Every university I know of consider it a terminal degree, thus holders are eligible to become professors.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) I am both happy and sad. Same here. I remember when his dad died, I was really young, but I remember thinking "who else knows how to be major?". So basically anyone under 25 really doesn't know Chicago without him as mayor.

This may get ugly quickly, but I'm interested.
