I really f***ing hate certain people I work with. Most know what I have taken on here in the last 6 months and others act like I do nothing. I have a great big :fyou for you b****. I am really trying hard to a not and b not call my boss and tell him to take this job and shove it where the f***ing sun doesn't shine.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 11:23 AM) I don't know about that, but if you only make the minimum payment, you sure as hell will never pay off the balance. We always try to at least pay two and half times the minimum. Us too (if we can a little more that as well). We don't typically carry this much balance, but with the wedding, it racked up a little more than we expected. With his new union job and most of the wedding stuff paid off (or we have cash reserved to pay for those items), we hope to payoff as soon as possible after the wedding.

Ozzie really needs to put Konerko down in the lineup. He is a terrible #4 hitter.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 11:20 PM) Every other post I see on this board deals with how some player will help our team in the postseason. Am I the only one who doesn't think it's a lock we make the playoffs this season? No, you are not the only one that thinks that way - I am taking it one day at a time.

There was an awesome lightening show last night as the clouds from the second storm that didn't give my area any rain passed through. I hope the system that is head towards us doesn't break in two and go around Chicago like so many storms have this summer.

oh well. . . if only. . .

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 05:09 PM) Quit! Then I am relagated to listening to the radio...could be dangerous for other drivers out there one way or another...

Do I stay or leave work?

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 05:06 PM) Look at this. 8-6 Detroit. Sox should be celebratig a victory right now instead of clawing themselves back into this game. It happens - it does make me happy that they did something in the ninth though.

LMAO!

QUOTE(Y2HH @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) Farmer sucks. I hate their "how about a long one here" thing constantly. If it were up to our radio announcers, we'd have all home run hitters. That is something that annoys me as well.

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 02:56 PM) How long before Paulie's completely bald? My mom has a running commentary on that. She finds his bald spot absolutely hysterical for some reason lol.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:21 PM) Well I am glad I didnt leave my Bassett hound outside to soak up the sun then. How bad was the rain? It rained fairly heavily for at least 15 minutes. I think it is still raining a bit, but it is hard to tell for sure.

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Jul 20, 2005 -> 01:00 PM) im getting crushed by those storms here in the northwest burbs so im guessing we should have a delay. Lots of rain. I hope my neighborhood gets hit with as much rain as we just received in Rolling Meadows.

QUOTE(upnorthsox @ Jul 19, 2005 -> 02:58 PM) Why should a couple of teenage girls know who Nellie Fox is? I think we sometimes get a little to full of our selves in what we think is important baseball knowledge. Should I be upset that they or anyone here not know who Lamar Johnson is? Sorry, but the fact that they thought he was a current member of the White Sox made me laugh (especially when in the same breath the kept telling the guys with them the were "die-hard" Sox fans).

When Brian and I went to the Grandstand (I think that is the name of the jersey/hat/souvenir shop on 35th) in late April, there was a girl in her late teens that was with a bunch of other people in their late teens and not one of them knew who Nellie Fox was. They kept asking each other if that was one of the outfielders. All I could do was shake my head in disappointment.

From nbc5.com: Will County Declares Drought Emergency POSTED: 10:21 am CDT July 19, 2005 UPDATED: 11:06 am CDT July 19, 2005 JOLIET, Ill. -- The drought plaguing Illinois is forcing authorities in Will County to declare an agricultural emergency. A spokeswoman for county executive Lawrence Walsh said the declaration will allow the county to receive federal and state disaster funds if they become available. Spokeswoman Tammy Reiher said more than half of the county's farmers have lost at least 40 percent of their crops so far. And she said 20 percent of farmers report that 70 percent of their crops are a loss.

Depending on date, I would definitely be.
