Are any of you traveling for the holidays? I'm lucky when it comes to traveling - 15 minutes north for Christmas Eve and 15 minutes northwest for Christmas Day - no planes or trains for me, just automobiles. If so, will the raised terror alert alter how you travel or anything you do while traveling? How much attention do all of you heed these warnings? Do all of you think that with the raised alerts and then nothing happening, that we will have the 'crying wolf' mentality and then not pay attention to them? Brian and I heard the warning last night in a news 'commercial' while surfing the channels after a hard day of furniture moving - a great big 'You Rock' goes out to my brother for helping all day and not b****ing once . Anyhow, we heard the warning, but not sure if there is anyway we can be more careful. How do all of you respond to the heightened terror warnings?

-> tex! LMAO!!!!

Tex gets locked for satire, but the porn-r-us forum is considered acceptable. Un-dirtword-believeable (Anyone remember which show had this line in almost every episode? to those who can.).

Another sad story of elf-knapping... Elf travels the country...

I'm screwed if this is true - I have a green car. Is there really a lack of worth while things to study in this world? Maybe I should have kept my silver Tiburon after all...lol EDIT: This is a yahoo link, not sure for how long it will be valid...

Who knew there were so many degrees of 'dead.'

Damn, I am soooooooooo far behind - I just hit a 1000 and I joined November of last year!

I'll be damned. I could have sworn yahoo had an article saying it was a done deal. Eh, not interested in either anyways. I guess that means the Sox will go after them.

I thought the Cedeno and Cirillo trade already went down?

I'm sorry. I can't stand Tom Cruise and I can stand Cameron Diaz even less.

Don't lock him up yet. The guy is way too inconsistant and seems to scare way too easily. I'm not down on him yet, but I am not completely convinced either...

I understand that, I just wonder why the union is still operational in MLB in this day and age...is it that the players are afraid it will be the early 1900s all over again - prick owners with too much power or what is the reason for have a union for a bunch of multi-millionaires (or in some cases hundred-thousandaires) who have agents to watch their backs....

Since most (almost all) players have some form of an agent or another and coupled with the kind of money they get (heck what is the minimum salary in the MLB - 300,000 or something like that), why is the union still needed? I understand that the union is need in the minor leagues, but why does is it still exist in the majors? What is it that they do that they agents can't handle? Are they afraid the owners will grow too big for their britches if the union dissolves/disappears? Unions have their place, but I don't think major league baseball is one of those places at this time.

Cheap bastards - $50 in gift certificates?! At least give her $50 in cash or a check. I'm sorry I ate there last night (got home late because I went with my sister to take Nathan (her son) to see Santa - 4 1/2 months and didn't cry!).

This story is beyond bizzare.

How many times have the Sox 'rebuilt?' How many times have they got it right? Screw rebuilding. Sell Jerry Sell!!!!!

LOL!

Guten Tag Herr Soxfaninbeverly! Wie geht es? Viel Glueck!

Glad to see they did.

Sure, what the heck not!

Who will give Nomar that much? Salaries seem to be lowering, not rising...

I thought someone posted something about Wright being included on this trade??? Maybe that was at the other site...been reading so many guesses at this trade, my head is spinning!

Easy - when your insurance is an HMO and the only doctor(s) that are available are men, that's where we go.

I hope everything turns out okay - my mom had them when I was 7 and she had some compliations from them.

One time during communion at the church I used to go to, several bats swooped down at the parishoners...it was hysterical watching everyone freak. The school kids (of which I was one) just watched in amazement.
