  1. Yeah - there is a post in the sports bar. Godspeed LLB! I'll still cheer for him, unless he's up against the Hurricanes...that is if either team exists after the lockout...
  2. Not really Jon, more like scott. I can't say I have a high opinion of him, but that's cuz I haven't seen too many games. I'm just repeating what was said to me.
  3. All the Mariners fans I know...okay, I am referring to the one that I live with lol...don't have that high of an opinion of Garcia. Be that as it may, he would make a good 4th starter for us.
  4. What do they have to offer Seattle who was reportedly going young?!
  5. We have one and it is well worth it to us!
  6. I contacted one place about that and waiting to hear back. It's just a pisser when you think you've got the place and there is something they have neglected to tell you...
  7. LOL! Money isn't really the issue, just location. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to drop a huge wad of cash on this, but I would like to find something local with a decent hall.
  8. Sounds like this company and the last company I was with (but my boss still managed to get me as many raises as possible - we were the only sox fans there so we had to stick together lol).
  9. Does anyone have any suggestions or know of decently priced reception halls on the southside of Chicago? We had one picked out (actually still have a hold on it), but after 2 weeks of communications, they just told us their minimum for a Saturday night wedding reception is 250 - we have 150-200 at this point. While we still have plenty of time, I don't want to wait too long to get the hall being that we have already set the date with the church and don't want to not be able to find a hall that is available.
  10. I didn't bother watching either. Brian watched the first one and if Cameron Diaz hadn't been in it, I don't think he would have gotten through the first 10 minutes of it. :puke
  11. Man arrested in 2000 strangling of teen Just saw this... :puke
  12. Hopefully they will be filtered before being asked (to weed out inane questions).
  13. It's a part of a larger group - I have to confess that I don't know for a 100% certainty. I know it was private before it was bought out and from what I understand I think it still is. The guy that owns us owns the Memphis Grizzlies. We are on pace to have something like 6-8 million in sales, what that translates into profits, I am not entirely certain (but from what has filtered down, the big cheeses were excited about the sales prediction). What I do know is that they said we are becoming more profitable this year after a slow period. This company has been in business for about 80 years or so (sometime in the twenties it began).
  14. LOL! I just saw that and was going to quote it.
  15. I hope that worthless wife of his does as well..f***ing b****. Sorry, but to not give a voice to your dead daughter (killed by your husband) is sickening...
  16. I read this on NBC yesterday...it made me sick. It's bad enough what happened to the little girl, but then to not have one family member speak up for her is unforgiveable.
  17. Thanks for pointing this out to me - just read the yahoo article. Irbe is very close to retirement - something like 37 I think. I love the 'The Little Latvian Bastard' (a nickname Brian came up with for Irbe). If it gives him a chance to play for a team that is willing to let him play instead of relegating him to AA hockey (he was on the Johnstown Chiefs for awhile), Godspeed LLB! Since he is gone, Carolina needs to get a goalie to platoon (or take over the starting role) with Weekes because he has yet to prove he can handle a full season as a starter. Besides that, there were too many problems between him and the team last year. Also, I say platoon instead of signing a big named goalie because the just signed Cam Ward who I think is supposed to be an up and coming goalie and should be ready in a year or two (if they think it'll take longer, go for a good goalie, what the heck).
  18. Where? No I know has gotten a raise in something like 3 years (and yes I know more than 2 people smart ass).
  19. Where are these manufacturing jobs being created? It sure doesn't seem to be around here unless there is some creative accounting going on... There have been (and still more each month) factories shutting down completely or shutting down and moving either south of the border (Mexico, not Missouri) or to China.

    Jury Duty

    Jury duting and voting are things that I make sure I do. Jury duty because, God forbid, I end up at the defendant's table, I want to think I will get a fair trial and voting so I can whine when the other person wins lol.
