  1. QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 05:10 PM) Haha it sure looks that way by what I said, but I am not. Just curious because I am an RA and was wondering if she lived in my building. She's in Bromley. She joined like five organizations over the weekend. So far she's enjoying it.
  2. I was azway from the computer, I hope the beer and poker worked out. Did you have a chance to play any cards? Happy Birthday!
  3. Kayaking is much better than karaoke or knife throwing. I just thought I would share that with y'all.
  4. Now I am wondering who will have posted the "N" before me.
  5. QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 06:50 AM) Strongly in favor of. Anybody holding a contrary position is obviously doing it wrong. Which is why they say if sex is a pain in the ass,
  6. QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 21, 2009 -> 06:21 AM) Why is it that Democrats think of Senate seats as property that can be handed down or transferred to a relative or political crony? Because that's how it's always been done.
  7. Now that my daughter is there, I realize how much it sucks to lose the mascot. Damn, the hats and s*** just suck without him. /stupid rant over.
  8. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 08:20 PM) He was looking at a long term eight figure commitment (thinking in the mentality before the economy collapsed)and the Sox had younger cheaper alternatives? Shhh, your quoting facts there pahds.
  9. 48 next week. Thanks to technology, I am actually hitting a golf ball farther and straighter than in my twenties. The bifocals help my reading, various drugs regulate my blood pressure and lower my cholesterol. IIRC YASNY is 51 or so.
  10. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 11:14 PM) I don't buy that at all. You are talking about adding the people who have been least able to afford care before to the system, and there being no incentive for them to keep care to a small of a level as possible. Once this happens, it becomes like welfare, social security, or any other program that people are "entitled" to. Unless someway that has been publicly discussed happens to discourage people from seeking care, there will be an explosion of people seeking medical attention. Like I said earlier, the cheaper something is, the more people that will buy it. When something is "free" there is nothing to stop you from using it for everything. At least now, people have the fear of their credit being ruined, or being hounded by bill collectors to stop them from seeking care for no reason. After Obama-care, there won't even be that. As I said there should be some co-pay to prevent overuse. With such an obvious problem, I would be amazed if it was not addressed in the program. It is free for those that go to the emergency room intending not to pay. There was an earlier comment by Alpha that the plan allows for the government to draft your bank account to pay for the services, so that would seem to address that there will be a co-pay and there will be strict collections, both would work to help solve your concern.

  15. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 19, 2009 -> 07:29 PM) You're right, there isn't. But there is a guarantee that any money some 17 year old high school catcher gets, the guy in the union won't be seeing. Isn't there also a case that any player's contract sets the table for other contracts. So if some untested draft picks makes X then the union boys could argue that is the new market price and push for X+5 or what not. Rookie contracts push the prices up for everyone.
  16. QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 10:33 AM) Embarrassing fart moments. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/lofiversion/...php?t24709.html actually there have been a few.

  19. What a difficult case. And genitalia will not be the only determination. That is what makes this so difficult.
  20. From landing strips to toothbrushes; from music to last meals, we have covered a lot of subjects in my six years here. What's left?
  21. QUOTE (brookfieldjim @ Aug 20, 2009 -> 10:10 AM) Long time reader, first time poster. I've really enjoyed reading this site over the last few years but felt I needed to comment on this post as I was thinking this very thing yesterday. As a fan of this team since 1982, it's really amazing to see how much this organization has changed in 27+ years. Welcome to Soxtalk, please don;t take two years before your second post.
  22. In the 90s the Sox filled the void between the end of the Bulls season and the beginning of the Bears. Mercifully, that was a very short span.
