Toilet Seat Poll
This keeps getting better. I misheard the price, it was over $100 closer to $175 with shipping. Carved and painted wood seat and cover. Has a nice fishing motif, and he doesn't even fish. I keep asking him to take a pic and send it to me. She said she wanted him to sit and think about her and what he was losing and this would be the reminder. I said, if she had sent you some good porn with her, you'd really think about her, but my suggestion was probably not followed.

Old Timers History Question
I am looking over some US History materials and came across the Era of Good Feeling, the time right after the War of 1812. The term is new to me, I am wondering if I was day dreaming back then, or is this a new milestone being taught.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 02:38 PM) "Ok, girl, I'll go see your tyler perry movie, but first, I need you to open this box." Remember this is coming from a guy that went out with the guys to see AC/DC on a Friday Night at the Aragon Brawl Room and went to see Barry Manilow, THE Barry Manilow in Saturday night. Go and enjoy yourself, but let her know it is because you respect her, and want to meet her friends. But of the s*** that a relationship goes through, this ain't nothing.

Stimulus Bill Redux
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 09:01 AM) We are doing exactly that right now. The government is expanding at an enormous rate right now. It isn't a lower cost solution. Government jobs cost more than the private sector counterparts. But don't the people on public aid get like $50,000 a year, drive luxury cars, etc.? What I was thinking is the difference between their benefits and wages is the "cost".

Bill James handbook 2010 predicts Tyler Flowers
The chance of Flowers needing to be taken out of a game seems rather remote and I could see a team risking a pitcher having to bat and only carrying two catchers.

Where will Beckham and Alexei play in 2010 ?
What this really does his highlight the amazing flexibility that the Sox have. I can't think of a year where there are so many chances to upgrade, but not because the current roster sucks so bad, but because there are some players who are young enough, and athletic enough, to learn/go back, to a different position. Too made there wasn't also a similar financial freedom.

Stimulus Bill Redux
Why didn't we start some massive public works projects? Have the government start hiring more? Moving people off the government unemployment roll and onto the government payroll, seems like a lower cost solution.

Financial News
QUOTE (Cknolls @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 09:57 AM) And nothing will change until they amend the union pension benefits. This is not that hard people. Cut the benefits, make the employees pay more into their benefits/healthcare, or make it a mandatory 65 years until you can retire. Yes, it is a hard choice, and no politician has the balls to even mention it, but that is the sad reality. The benefits are not going away, and are only getting worse. Punting on the issue does not solve it. Employees look at their total compensation. So it really doesn't make a difference if the base pay is $50,000 + $5,000 into the pension or $55,000 and the employee puts in $5,000. Hell, pay them $65,000 and make them contribute $10,00 for their health care. And it seems we have called for pay cuts in every sector, and I'm asking this seriously, I am not an economist, how does it help if everyone takes a 10% pay cut?

Book Thread
Just finished Where Men Win Glory: The Odyssey of Pat Tillman by Jon Kraukauer of 5. It was more the last three decades in Afghanistan with Tillman as a sub plot. Plenty of harsh words for the military complex all the way up to the Commander in Chief, so hard core GOPers may not enjoy it as much.

Toilet Seat Poll
I was talking with a friend of mine, said a woman had hurt his pride. Told him that she loved him so and turned around and let him go. But before leaving, spent $100 on a toilet seat, charged to his account. I was interested to learn that it is possible to spend $100 on a toilet seat. I am sorry, for $100, I want a custom molded to my ass toilet seat.
