Welcome!

Being a Cardinals fan, I hope he does NOT end up there. He can play like nobody's business but he is too much of a distraction.

Good job!

My mom and I met him at a game sometime back. A true gentleman.

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 06:55 PM) Even if you DO have a no tresspassing sign you can be sued.. and lose. I remember a few years back some dumb arse broke into someone's home or workplace (bar or something) and they guy shot him. Well, the home/bar owner was sued and lost. What a screwed up world we live in today.

Happy bday.

I've been enjoying the new season. There were some rough spots, but overall, hysterical.

Congrats! Owning a house kicks ass!

QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 11, 2005 -> 09:27 AM) Welcome, guys. Just some "positive, non-complaining" things I was thinking about. After the last few days at work, I needed to see something happy! Thanks!

Woohoo! Now if the phucking phone in my cube would stop ringing . . . all would be right in my world lol.

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 09:37 PM) FWIW (it probably doesn't even matter), but the Angels just decended into hell and managed to grab a couple of runs against Oakland. Indians are losing as well.

Woohoo! Now I can logout and go hop in shower and then grab some Zs.

What happened?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 09:05 PM) The Sky Dome was the scariest I've ever been to. For me it is the new Soldiers' Field. Brian and I went and once we got to our seats he looks at me and says, "I take back anything negative I have ever said about Comiskey's upperdeck."

You know you don't have much time with your significant other when the most you have seen them in 36 hours is waving at each other while traveling on opposite sides of I-294.

GO PK!!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 08:55 PM) Yeah, even though for a second, it looked like the police had the kids hands behind his back waiting to cuff him. I thought they were too (I clicked back and they were fishing the guy off of the net), but I think they were just trying to steady him.

It's not the leprechaun, it is the term "Fighting Irish" that is demeaning. It may not be intended as something demeaning in this day and age, but it is based in a stereotype.

What's the chance that the shuttle program will be on moth balls until the next generation of shuttle is ready (I thought I read that the expected date was in 2010, but not sure)?

Couple Credits Bunny With Saving Woman's Wife Couple Credits Bunny With Saving Woman's Wife Rabbit alerts Man To Wife's Condition POSTED: 8:03 am CDT August 9, 2005 PORT BYRON, Ill. -- When she purchased the $10 baby rabbit at a yard sale, Darcy Murphy had no idea it would save her life a few weeks later. Darcy and her husband, Ed, had planned to get their children Dylan, 7 and Callie, 9, a pet, but wanted to wait until after Darcy gave birth to the couple's third child, expected in June. At the beginning of May, Darcy Murphy was at a yard sale by herself and saw the baby rabbits. "I made the mistake of holding her, and then I had to get her," she said. Robin the rabbit lived in the Murphys' living room, located just off the master bedroom. On Friday, May 13, the Murphys went to bed about 10:30 p.m. About 3 a.m., Ed Murphy woke up to the sound of Robin making noise in her cage. Hesitant to get up because he was afraid he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep, he tried to ignore the racket. "The rabbit was jumping up," he said. "I thought the rabbit was going to knock off the top (of the cage)." Finally, he went into the living room and opened the cage to see what was going on. He thought he heard his wife lightly snoring. He decided to lie back down on the couch to try to go back to sleep. "The rabbit would not quit hitting the top of the cage. She was going wild," he said. He put a garbage can on top of the rabbit's cage so it wouldn't get out and went back into the bedroom. This time, Darcy was making noises like she was having a bad dream. But when he looked at her, her eyes were wide open. "She was staring straight ahead," he said. After trying to wake her up, "I just grabbed the phone and called 911." He gave the operator the necessary information and then dropped the phone and ran to the kitchen when he remembered his wife, who had been diagnosed with gestational diabetes several months before, had learned in a class at Genesis Medical Center's Illini Campus to keep cake frosting in the refrigerator in case her blood sugar got too low. When he got back in the bedroom, he could hear the operator saying "Sir, are you still there?" He told her why he had dropped the phone, which confused the operator because he hadn't explained that Mrs. Murphy had gestational diabetes. "All this lady knew was she was unconscious and I'm shoving frosting in her mouth," Ed Murphy said. A few minutes later, the paramedics showed up and took Mrs. Murphy to Illini where she stayed for five days until her blood sugar levels were under control. Mrs. Murphy delivered the baby, Brenna, or "Brenna Bunny" as the nurses liked to call her, on June 13. "It was the most scary thing I've ever been through in my life," Mr. Murphy said. Typically, he's a very heavy sleeper. He said he hasn't seen the rabbit act like that since and hadn't seen her do it before that night either. Mrs. Murphy's obstetrician, Dr. Anita Pinc, said gestational diabetes is a carbohydrate intolerance during pregnancy. Hormones secreted during pregnancy can make the body unable to process insulin. Mrs. Murphy's insulin levels were increased throughout her pregnancy, but later in the pregnancy her blood sugar changed so she didn't need as much insulin. When her husband couldn't wake her up, she had gone into an insulin shock from too much insulin. "She wasn't waking up. I guess the rabbit was telling her husband 'Wake up, wake up. Something is wrong with your wife,"' Pinc said. "It can be really scary. They can go into a hypoglycemic coma and sometimes even die from this. It was very good the rabbit woke them up and saved her life."

Happy bdays!

Poor lady!

I hope his kids never read that their dad wanted them out.
