QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 12:34 PM) how did he recognize her from 20 years ago? I've seen pictures of my wife when she was 12. She's pictures of me at that age as well. I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult...

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 12:12 PM) Really.. I could have swore I heard that since this was created that something like 34 newborns have been left with no questions asked.. That may be state-wide. I was talking about Rockford only.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 11, 2005 -> 08:49 AM) Actually it's hospitals, police stations, and fire houses. http://www.safeplacefornewborns.org/statefiles/il.html Illinois: You can leave your baby, up to 3 days old, with a staff member at any hospital, fire-station or police station in Illinois - no questions asked. IIRC, the very first person to actually take advantage of this in Rockford was just last year. Not very many people do even though it's been all over the news and newspapers...

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) I just think that no one.. regardless of race, gender, family status, or worth is anymore at risk than anyone else. I guess it depends on what you define as a "bad home". Maybe it's the kid who's parents don't pay enough attention to them. Maybe it's the kid who's parents already abuse him/her. IMHO, it's those types of kids that would be an easier target compared to one that has parents who are very involved and have a very open relationship with their kids. Would the teacher have started some kind of relationship if she knew the kid would go home and tell his parents what was going on? On the other hand, I would agree that anyone (no matter race, gender, etc.) is at anymore risk than anyone else from some Joe Blow child molester who just happens to like the way they walk down the street.

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 02:10 PM) amazing that a quarter can be 1,000 times the amount it's supposed to be.. The same thing happens when a particular person signs his/her name on a ball/card/napkin etc...

Is it illegal for a teacher to have a sexual relationship with a student or are these teachers getting arrested because the students are under 18? If the students were over 18 would it even make the news???

Old as the hills but... The beginning of eternity, the end of time and space. The beginning of every end and the end of every race. What is it?

I suddenly have a Van Halen song running through my head...

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) They were deducting 401K funds WITHOUT your permission..?? Umm.. you better make a fuss about it. It's against the law and you should report them. It was called profit-sharing. I don't know if it's the same thing or not...

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 11:49 AM) Wooh, good. Brian's last company f***ed him on his. He filled out all the paperwork and his current company sent it in, but they still cut him the check (something like 1/3 of it went to taxes and penalties). Same thing happened to me. I had a second job and they were taking money out when I didn't even want them to. I got a check when I quit and had to pay penalties because of early withdrawl. It was only $30 so I'm not going to make a big fuss over it though...

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Feb 4, 2005 -> 11:38 AM) Found this interesting tidbit about Ferris Bueller's Day Off: I read that Mr. 3000 would have been about a player on the White Sox had they not hosted the ASG when they did. Talk about right place wrong time...

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 12:33 PM) He's still a Sox fan, jeez. :rolly No kidding. Anyone happen to know who Farmer or Rooney's favorite teams are?

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) not for the devil rays! It's not like its the Cubs or something... If I had a chance to play professional baseball and it happened to be the D-rays who drafted me I sure as hell wouldn't say no... Even Jerry Hairiston, who grew up a Sox fan, is playing for the Cubs.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 12:19 PM) how can he just leave us like that? the d-rays? c'mon! :banghead i bet u its because the money, just like with maggs. i really liked dave. maybe hes sick of the sox underachieving? PBP is something he's wanted to do for a long time. Even if it is for the D-rays. Traveling to different stadiums all around the country and a bigger paycheck are bonuses...

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 3, 2005 -> 09:44 AM) EMHD is by far the best show on TV right now. They can come and rebuild my POS house. Right after they slap the FHA inspector that passed it when it never should have been. He was under investigation right after he inspected our house... :headshake

I guess my situation might be a little different because I have kids. My wife comes along with me to Soxfest and Sox games because she doesn't want to be stuck at home with 3 kids while I'm out having fun. She doesn't drive so she would literally be "stuck". I have an occasional "guys night out" and she'll have an occasional "girls night out" though. Her best friend is supposed to be planning a SB party but I think it's just an excuse to have a party. I doubt either one of them will watch much of the game...

I have a male cousin that is gay and for a long time lived with another man. When I was little I never thought anything of it. Especially at the age where I was watching cartoons. I didn't even know the words 'gay' or 'lesbian' existed much less know what they meant. This is as bad as when they tried to say the purple tellytubby was gay because he carries a "purse" (they call it a bag on the show).

QUOTE(Allsox @ Feb 2, 2005 -> 11:53 AM) HEHEHE....Only on SoxTalk can I see avatars of Contreras hugging Fidel, Shingo huggin Southpaw and a poll rigged Chicago style You must not have been around when we completely destroyed a poll on chicagosports.com. That was fun.

I loved the chicken cordon bleu from Arby's but they took it off the menu last december. Bastards!!! I've been craving Long John Silver's for a little while and they are finally building a new one up the street from us. They tore down the only one in town about 5 years ago or more. Does Boston Market count? It's a bit of a drive to get to one for me but it's always worth it.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 02:30 PM) That seems like an interesting one. I'll let someone else take it though. I'm sure it's possible but I've only seen one George Burns movie. Most of the movies he made were way before my time...

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 28, 2005 -> 02:10 PM) That was pretty hard. I had to look up which movies Jason Ritter was actually in. Hell, the only one I knew was Freddy vs. Jason...
