Any thread I have is going to bounce around from topic to topic ..I don't feel like clogging Soxtalk up with a bunch of different random subjects ..so I just ask my random Q's wherever I want!! LOL

OK ...NOW I am interested to learn more about you guys!!! ...Favorites bands/groups?!?!?! Mine = Guns N Roses!! ..Lately my truck has played nothing but Salt-N-Pepa though ...AND I just noticed that both of those are groups with "N" in the name ..odd!!

QUOTE (The Beast @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 10:15 AM) At first I was like "There is no way I"m watching 8 minutes and 20 seconds of this" ...I totally lied to myself!! haha ..I like to learn I guess!! Very interesting video!!

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 09:51 AM) f*** So I cant breast feed my kids? This has been such a roller coaster of a day. Yes you could, but you would have to take pills to produce the milk!

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jun 17, 2010 -> 08:57 AM) LOL. I thought I was giving a false fact. I will breast feed my children then since it is a possibility. LOL Did you know that new born babies' breasts swell and if you pinch it, milk will come out?! It's something the mother's hormones do to the kid! I did it to my kids all the time!! HAHA ..It was funny .."How do you scare a bee?" ..then you pinch the tata and say "boo bee" lol ....When my oldest got older, I had to stop because he thought he was gonna ask me "Momma, how do you scare a bee?" ...HAW, sucks for the kid, I already knew the answer to that one!! !!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 06:23 PM) Definitely. Plus, you're a female poster with a picture on display, so really any thread you start will probably end up being at least 5 pages. I didn't start this thread ..it was a part of a different thread and somebody made it it's own thing ..the "swear filter" thread birthed this one!! lol ...I like my picture ..it's the only one I have in one of my CWS shirts!!

QUOTE (juddling @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 11:03 PM) did you know...... orginally hired to play the part of Red Foreman on That 70's show was Chuck Norris. That would have changed the whole show there. not necessarily for the better either. Ohhh I agree ..I probably wouldn't have watched it as religiously as I did!

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 06:08 PM) The plague origins could be a myth. http://www.snopes.com/language/literary/rosie.asp Its not conclusive, and I was told the same thing about the plague reference., it just never seemed to make sense to me. Great ..now I'm thoroughly confused!! lol How are we ever to know the real story ..?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 06:08 PM) This is an interesting thread. Rather random isn't it?!

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 04:03 PM) Why isn't it just called an M? Haha I wondered the EXACT same thing!! lol

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 04:21 PM) Not sure what you mean by that, if i recall we've already signed the catcher from Tampa, who knows about the other one's we drafted. Are you concerned about playing time for your boy Chase? I found him on there after I posted that!! lol No, not at all. The 2 that have signed are going to GF.

NEVERMIND ....FOUND HIM!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 12:47 PM) The problem is that no, you wouldnt, and that's why it was so bad. You would have a family that needed tending to, land that needed work, and good that needed to be purchased from the market. The thought of diseases being communicable was not fully understood. (Hell, some towns burned and/or banished Jews because they thought they were the cause). And with the lack of sanitary conditions then, even hypothetically locking yourself away would not have worked. Rats were ever prevalent and the fleas they carried would find you. Avoiding contact with the infected was virtually impossible unless you were massively wealthy or royalty. It was a joke ya silly goose!! haha I think it's just a smidgen morbid that the nursery rhyme, "ring around the rosy", is about the plague. My family, on my mother's side, has always been very involved in Renaissance Faires, I learned about this when I was about 11 years old ...I was genuinely creeped!!! ( One of the faires in which they own booths is in Bristol, Wisconsin actually ...not far from Chicago at all!!)

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 12:35 PM) I was actually just about to say that. That would have been terrible! I would have been such a hermit back then ...I would have been in my home trying to invent hand sanitizer and bug spray!!

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 12:07 PM) Any time before showers and toilets scares the mess out of me HAHAHAHAHA Great answer!!!! I love it!

OK So, I was watching the military channel, and I started thinking about how life must have been way back in the day as a Jew in the days of Hitler ..and honestly it scared the mess out of me!! In my opinion, that had to be the scariest way to live .. ever!! It got me curious to know what you all thought? What moment in history do you think would have been the scariest to live? ..Whether it be dinosaur days or whatever, I wanna know!!!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 11:17 AM) I know a man named Chase Whitewood. You're not serious?!?!

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 11:04 AM) Your last name MY last name to be, yes, you are correct ..Bren Nicole Blackwood ..me likey!!

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 16, 2010 -> 12:05 AM) Chase Blackwood is a catcher in the White Sox Organization, but has a cooler last name than 'Flowers'. HAHAHA what the crap?!?! That's hilarious! I honestly never thought about his last name being funny/cool until people on here started pointing it out!

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 06:48 PM) To REALLY REALLY mess with people, "Hello?" (Person starts talking as if youve answered).. Seconds later... BEEEPPP! Did you knowww ..that Matt Harughty was released today?!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 05:26 PM) its true, really is I feel for you!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 15, 2010 -> 05:15 PM) Chase black wood is something rich girls did at my high school in order to piss off their daddy. BAAAHAHAHHA ..I'll have to talk to his mother about her name choice for her baby boy!! ..The guys on Chase's team get mad at him when he uses any other color bat than a black one! Weirdos! Too bad his middle name is Martin and not "ing" ..I totally would have done that to my kid!! lol JK!!
