Woohoo! I was starting to freak out not hearing/seeing anything lol.

I wish I was - stuck at work .

I the way home yesterday I threw on 1000AM. The three dingbats were going on and on about the Reinsdorf interview and how the Sox (and they mentioned Boyer's name specifically) set the whole thing up and that Reinsy knew what the questions were gonna be. Nothing like beating a dead horse and this was after the 9th inning Sox win and that was all they could talk about. It reminded me why I don't listen to that show. I know, not topic related, but close enough lol.

I got a call the other day from a recruiter looking for someone with experience with capacitors and RF. First call in a long time. At my last job (up to about 6 months before the lay off), I was getting calls every other day. I miss them lol.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) If it has a CD drive it should have a headphone jack. I think it would work, with like walkman headphones, even without a sound card. Someone who knows more about computers than I please check me. You could always try it out on one links in this thread first. I thought the same thing and tried that when I first got this computer - nothing. It's not a big deal as I am going to have to request a new/better computer soon. With all the programs I need to run at once, this thing (it was someone in customer service's computer prior to being mine) isn't keeping up too well.

At my first job (I am not counting the babysitting I did from age 13-16), I started out as cashier, worked my way up to customer service desk clerk and then night manager. The job wasn't too bad, but there were some customers who were total asses. From there I interned as an R&D engineer then I graduated and got a job as a design engineer. After laid off from that I am where I am now - applications engineer.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 08:22 AM) I heard an interesting interview with a Professor at Notre Dame. There are three basic physical needs that all humans have. 1. Air to breath 2. Temperate climate (natural or man made) 3. Food and Water If a terminal patient asked to freeze to death, or be strangled, we would not allow that. Why would we allow them to dehydrate or starve? I think the Pope was following that same line of reasoning. We wouldn't strangle them, but ventalators are removed quite often (I've witnessed it twice). But, I agree about your thoughts on what the Pope's line of reasoning is. I've decided to start attending mass again (with the help of the priest that is marrying Brian and myself as well as the Pope's passing). I am looking forward to mass on Sunday. Never thought I would hear myself say that again.

QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Apr 7, 2005 -> 02:14 AM) 10,000 people is just pathetic. I don't care what day of the week it is. Then don't pay attention to taday's attendance. With the weather expected for today I would expect less than yesterday.

Bruce Wolf was harping on yesterday's attendance this morning (I really hate that trollish looking jackass). I guess I will have to avoid his sports report tomorrow on 97.9 as with the weather I don't expect it to be any better.

I have allergies and fighting off a chest cold (so far the extra vitamin C I am taking is working!).

I drive a Mercury for which I just sent the last payment! I luv my Green Mercury which I have named Freddie! (Please tell me someone outside my family gets the joke.) Seriously though, my Cougar has been good to me and I hope it continues to be good to me!

I must confess I was thinking that (Pope's funeral could be a terrorist target). Let's home they have more decency than that.

I didn't see this here or the sports bar - merge/delete away if it is Bo Jackson Files Defamation Lawsuit Bo Jackson Files Defamation Lawsuit Newspaper's Source Denies Saying Jackson Used Steroids POSTED: 4:21 pm CDT April 6, 2005 UPDATED: 4:50 pm CDT April 6, 2005 CHICAGO -- Bo Jackson filed a defamation lawsuit Wednesday against a California newspaper that quoted a dietary expert who said the former two-sport star used steroids. The lawsuit was filed in Cook County against the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, MediaNews Group Inc., MediaNews Group Interactive, Inc., sports editor Jim Mohr and three other employees of the newspaper. "I've got nothing to hide," Jackson said at a news conference before the White Sox's game against the Cleveland Indians. "If anyone wants to check into my medical past, go get blood tests, go check up on those blood tests and see if there was any anabolic steroids in it. You're more than welcome." Jackson is suing for unspecified general and punitive damages. His lawyer, Dan Biederman, also said they want the newspaper to print a retraction. Steve Lambert, the editor of the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin and The Sun of San Bernardino, said it was too early for the newspaper to comment on the lawsuit. "We're still investigating the situation," he said. In a story published March 24 under Mohr's byline, dietary expert Ellen Coleman was quoted as saying she knew personally that "Bo Jackson lost his hip because of anabolic abuse." Jackson, the only player to be named to the NFL's Pro Bowl and appear in baseball's All-Star game, injured his hip playing for the Oakland Raiders in 1991 in a playoff game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He did play baseball that season for the Chicago White Sox and had a hip replacement the next year. He returned to baseball in 1993, playing for the California Angels, and retired in 1994. He won the Heisman Trophy as a running back for Auburn in 1985. Jackson said he found the story from the newspaper online, and at least one person called him about it. Biederman said he then contacted Coleman, who denied making any statements about Jackson. She provided the lawyer with a videotape of her speech at a Riverside, Calif., sports forum to back up her claim. "At no time during my speech or while speaking individually to Jim Mohr did I use or mention the name Bo Jackson," Coleman said in a signed affidavit. Jackson, now a businessman who lives in suburban Chicago, talks to children about health and nutrition issues. He denied ever using or even seeing steroids in any form. "I'm not going to sit here and say, 'Maybe I did or maybe I didn't,"' Jackson said. "I didn't. Never did. Never had to do." Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) Nothing wrong.. you just know how I can't stand to give him credit for anything.. LOL! That's okay, neither can I lol. Thanks to you and elrockin for the clarification though.

What did Willie do that got that part of the thread going? I am reading through it but missing something...maybe this damned headache I have has something to do with it lol.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX f***ING WINNER! I need to take off to do work more often. I left and the boys were down 2-0 and I get back and they win 4-3!

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 03:33 PM) Does Crede ever NOT swing at the first pitch? Just curious. [vent] I am so sick of f***ing Crede. When can the Sox just give up on him or find a hitting coach he will listen to/respond to (not saying Walker is terrible, but can they find Crede his own personal coach?). He always has this terrified look on his face when he is at the plate - makes me want to b**** slap him something fierce (then again, could I slap him anyother way )!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRR! [/vent]

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 03:31 PM) Hahaha, when I read that it registered in my mind as "Crede, Uribe, POPS up next!!!" I guess I wasn't the only one who read it like that.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) Dye pops out to the 3rd baseman. 1 out. That's it. The next MFer that hits a pop up needs to do 50 push ups at home plate. That'll learn 'em!

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 03:15 PM) Matt Miller is in. We can't hit this guy. And who the hell is he, might I ask?

Damn and I got my hopes up. I should know better by now lol.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 02:46 PM) Uribe pops out to deep CF. 1 out. WTF is with all these f***ing pop ups???

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 6, 2005 -> 02:45 PM) Crede has my vote for pick to stink for the game. How much longer does he get before the Sox cut their losses on him?

This game is starting to put me to sleep.
