QUOTE (knightni @ May 23, 2008 -> 04:30 PM) If she did volunteer work, it might help. Maybe she could teach tumbling and gymnastics to underpriviledged or mentally handicapped kids. Active in Girl Scouts, does some charity work, and about to do a lot more. Covering all the bases. Weird thing she is very conservative and wants to go into journalism. I hope the professors can fix her.

QUOTE (Balance @ May 23, 2008 -> 03:03 PM) I typically buy beans from a local corner cafe (The Common Cup) in Rogers Park. They have Intelligentsia coffee; I like most of their beans. I have them grind it up for me. I don't mind Starbuck's; I think they have some good coffee (and I actually drink their plain coffee as opposed to their candy-bar-in-a-cup drinks), but I try to support local businesses instead of corporations when I can. I was never a fan of Dunkin Donuts coffee. I found it weak and too reliant on dumping tons of sugar in there. The place by me, Moonbeans is almost a classic coffee shop. Kind of dumpy, but clean. They've been dicking people around with their internet connections, free, free with purchase, free with purchase of pastry, charging everyone, etc. that I boycotted for a solid 6 days.

I thought of that as office coffee service, not home brew.

I will point out up front I am a hypocrite for the next statement. I have said that people should not have to speak English to work in America and I stand by that. Likewise, consumers in America should be allowed to speak any language they want. But, to require customers to use any description other than small, medium, large, and extra large should be boycotted.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 23, 2008 -> 02:49 PM) The ladies on "Friday Night Lights". From the mom all the way down to the daughter. They do try to make it look authentic for Texas

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 23, 2008 -> 03:05 PM) You folks should really change to 25 posts per page. it's just annoying otherwise. 50 makes more sense to me. I have a quick connection.

She is an amazing dancer and teaches tumbling and gymastics.

QUOTE (shipps @ May 23, 2008 -> 02:13 PM) Well my posts per page is set at 5 so I hope hope you would accomodate me also. New Page

My daughter, the really hard working smart one has wanted to attend NU for years and is now close to graduating (entering senior year). she has a 4.0 in the International Baccalaureate program, etc. But she worries it still is not enough? Anyone with experience to share? Her class rank is 25/400

QUOTE (shipps @ May 23, 2008 -> 01:01 PM) I would be soooooo confused if you didnt keep track of this. Just a little public service I try and provide those posters who have their settings at 50 posts per page.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:42 PM) Oh, I hear you, but I also think that (and I've said this for 5 years around here) there was/is more to the Iraq thing then we will ever know. Both ways

It really sucked on international flights. Fourteen hour strecthes and fighting all the way to go to sleep.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:42 PM) I hate that feeling, that happens to me a fairly decent amount just sleeping regularly. Scares the s*** out of me when I wake up. I keep thinking I have screamed when I jolt awake. At the time it really sucked because I was on a plane every week and catching some sleep was really nice.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 23, 2008 -> 01:34 PM) In my opinion, it's more related to interests that we're all not aware of. I agree, but I really dislike that whole "we're not aware of" reasoning. Seems as if we entered into a war or two based on "stuff we do not know about" and trusting leadership.

QUOTE (Felix @ May 23, 2008 -> 12:19 PM) I've thought about it, but I don't generally sleep well on planes. Whatever, I'm just going to go sleep early tonight, it'll be easier. Sometime about 10 years ago I stopped being able to sleep easily on planes. I developed this sensation of "falling" asleep, as in I feel like I'm falling. Not a good feeling on a plane.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 23, 2008 -> 01:20 PM) I think that it's interesting that Bush gets no credit at all for trying to deal with North Korea by "talking"... do people ever stop and think that there are some reasons why we "talk" to some and not others? And, oh by the way, I'm sure that Iran and the US can find each other to talk, if the need should ever arise. Votes? Public Approval Ratings?

QUOTE (Felix @ May 23, 2008 -> 11:39 AM) I have a flight that leaves for Utah at 6:45 tomorrow morning. Man, that's going to suck waking up at ~3:30. I'd stay awake all night and sleep on the plane.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 23, 2008 -> 11:16 AM) Smallville. I'm not familiar with that show, is it the gay movie you were staring in?

Thank you. Wouldn't it then also be fair to say a producer in the US would also want to be paid similar prices?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 23, 2008 -> 11:15 AM) You are a freak. All you had to do was accept my offering of sunscreen but no, you thought you could handle 8 hr's of sun. Turns out you couldn't even handle 15 minutes of sun in the bleachers. Than again, I couldn't handle a middle finger 3 times the size of my other middle finger. Well OK, that is probably more information than we all want to know . . .

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:48 AM) But you do want a large penis right? What are you offering?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:50 AM) Which sounds really good in hindsight, but ignores the history of price targets that OPEC used to have. Hell their targets were in the range of where we are trading, minus $100. It makes much more sense that if prices had never gotten up that high in the first place, they would have stayed perfectly happy with crude oil in the range of the price targets, or a little higher. I'm kind of losing you here, could you elaborate?
