I agree with this 10000000000% (yeah, my math is off, but gimme a break - I'm have a crappy day ). A teen needs parental permission for ear piercing and can't get a tatoo, but should be able to get an abortion without parental permission? That seems a little bassackwards to me...but then again I am half Polish .

How is a ball that is less than a year old going to take a supposed many year curse away? By the way, MS Outlook blows. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

(both my parents have diabetes, but theirs is age onset diabetes. Dad takes insulin and Mom takes gliburide (sp?) - she's lucky to only have to take pills for it.)

I agree with CW's sentiments about your mom. The driver is lucky it wasn't Brian that saw it cuz knowing his Irish temper and driving skills, he'd get the dog, chase the driver and then...either do to the driver what they did to the dog or call the cops...maybe both.

What is the deal Marist Alum and the Cubs? Brian graduated from there and was a Cub fan until a few years ago. Another reason to add to the list of why I don't like Marist.

Was he? I knew the other one was (can't remember his name).

Thanks for the replies - I honestly didn't know how easy moving from 3rd to 2nd would be.

But, then again, aren't we all?

Is it that easy to move from playing third to second?

Ouch. That hurts thinking about it.

All (or at least a large majority) the guys that rebuilt our house were union. Good for us because the guy's union insurance covered his sliced hand (wasn't watching what he was doing when cutting the soffet (sp?)).

But what did my people do to be brought in the middle of this? Isn't it clear we have enough problems of our own?

Hey damn it, leave my people (nerds) out of this!!!!

I heard about that last night. He's had the same show for ages and now all of a sudden it's a problem?

97.9 was doing their morning show where they are destroying the ball. As soon as I heard that, I didn't tune back this morning. The only good that comes out of this is money for charity. Otherwise this whole thing is a waste of money and time.

I don't think so, but I guess it is always possible. The dog only had a leather collar, no tags or anything. Whatever the case is, I hope the pooch is okay. I know abandoning dogs on the expressway is common on the Ryan (obviously the median is crowded with the 'L', but that doesn't seem to stop people).

I'm hoping to see the little Latvian to be truthful, but I will be happy with whoever is in net as long as the Canes win. The last time they were in town (2 years ago), they had Baraso (sp? or as Brian calls him Barasshole) in net. I figured there would be tons of tickets (who wants to see the Canes or the Hawks this year lol) thats why we didn't order them.

I was thinking that myself.

to that. I really hope so, not just for him or my PK card collection (heehee), but for the team. GO SOX GO CANES GO SENS GO CYCLONES GO J BURTON GO RUDD!!!!!! Sorry had to get that outta the system.

Hey - I'll be there on the 17th (I think it's the 17th ) in my Canes jersey! Do I have to go thru ticketbastard or can I get tickets the night of the game (it's not a big game or anything so Brian and I were planning to get the tickets there)? The little Latvian did great in his 'come back' last night.

Good luck to the both of you. I am sure the job is yours for the taking.

LOL! Thanks - I needed that.

This morning on my way to work on the tri-state, there was a huge slow down after the 83rd street tolls. After a few minutes I realized what was causing the slow down. Someone abandoned a dog on the median. The poor thing just sat there watching the cars go by. I called 411 to get a number to report this, but the number they gave me (Illinois Agricultural Animal Welfare or something like that) was to an office that wasn't open. I called my mom, but outside of 311 (which my phone wouldn't connect to), she wasn't sure who to call. I tried calling Brian, but he was still asleep. Knowing him, he would have drove and got the dog himself. One person did stop and everyone was driving really slow (about 20-30 miles an hour) so I hope someone else had better luck getting a hold of some help for the dog. When I got to work, one of my co-workers gave me 312-744-4000 and said they (City Hall information) would be able to give me a better number to call. Does anyone know of a better number to call in this situation? Or is this the right number? How can someone do that - abandon a dog on an expressway? If they can't care for the dog or they don't want the dog anymore, can't they take him to a shelter or find a decent home for the dog? :fyou to the jagoff that did this (and to the other jags that have done such a thing in the past - my mom said this happens often).

'Homicide' was an awesome show.
