I really hope all sides keep fighting. As long as the compromise isn't let's all get what we want, it will be better.

My ethics are grounded in Christian beliefs. My ethnicity is German.

I believe that most of the time, "national interest" and any "White House" pressure to follow policy, toe the line, etc, is a good thing. I believe if he was having differences, keeping them internal is the right thing to do, in most cases. (I know we can come up with a hypothetical to the contrary). Later, as kind of a post game analysis, these types of stories come out, I think that is good for going forward.

And Favre is a Viking

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 09:00 AM) So basically you are saying that everyone someone just cries "liberal" bias is enough to discount a story. Got it. Of conservative bias. I think we have all read enough quotes around here to know fact from fiction, but some still sneak by.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 22, 2009 -> 11:56 PM) I'm pretty sure I was the 1st pitcher in my HS to throw a no-hitter. I caught a no hitter. I think I was so much more nervous than the pitcher. It was a non league game, and we were clearly no match for this team. Still, it was very exciting. The game was almost called in the 4th because of the "slaughter" rule.

A couple that will never be broken! HS Cross-Country course records on courses that have been developed into housing areas. Several HS track records. 880, 2-mile relay, and I believe I still have the mile record. I doubt my 880 record will ever be broken, since they do not run that distance anymore. I also went my entire senior year without being defeated in a conference or regional Chess match.

If the numbers are large, it shows what a big, and costly problem this is. If the numbers are low, it shows this is not as big and issue and will be cheaper with a smaller impact on the system. So either side would have their point added and subtracted from. Bottom line, the lack of health care for so many Americans is much more likely to negatively affect their lifespan before another terrorist attack or other such event that we invest out tax money to.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:19 AM) It takes some adjusting to the food but she should be fine. At Illinois, most everyone ends up leaving for an apartment after freshmen year, which is what I did. Except I am of no use in the kitchen which has made quickly realize I was lucky at hall to have a dining hall in my dorm, ha. She's already talking about that. She is also talking about going the RA route. She would be a good one. Personally, I'd like to see her that.

I'm not expecting to be too interested in the playoffs. I would not be shocked if the team went on a tear and caught the Tigers, but I would be surprised. The more likely scenario is the Tigers experiencing a key injury or a terrible slump.

This will really depend on how tight the race is. I do not see them calling up more than a couple guys if it is a dog fight. Fields and Flowers for two. Maybe an arm or two.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:08 AM) Yeah I had a corner too which really worked out well. Food is not very good, but that's about the only complaint with Bromley. Everything else is far superior compared to living in one of the public dorms. Not having choices of where to eat would drive me nuts. My son is at Texas State and they have seven or eight campus dining halls plus all the food exchanges at Blimpies, Zatarans etc.

I work for the Boy Scouts. Membership, money, and summer camp programs. B.A. in Psychology and English. Would love to be teaching, bit there are precious few HS openings in Texas.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 24, 2009 -> 08:00 AM) I lived there last year. Awesome place. It seems like it. I was up there for new student orientation over the summer. She is rooming with a friend from HS and they were assigned a corner, which they really wanted. I've heard mixed reviews about the food, but complaining about dorm food is always in style.

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.

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!

Kayaking is much better than karaoke or knife throwing. I just thought I would share that with y'all.

Now I am wondering who will have posted the "N" before me.

Kentucky bourbon?!

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
