Sexism Always looking for the angle no one else see's. You are good.

6.9 sure. 8.8?

I am no Chile supporter, But I would bet they handle this 8.8 100s times better then Haiti with that 7.0.

I have experienced a 7.6, and find a 8.8 unimaginable. 8.8 quake

In these days of environmentally correct light bulbs, this is staying way under the radar. A disaster if it goes though. pebble mine

Not sure what you're getting at. When I said "collage fund" I meant any investment , not anything specific. Hell, invest in in the Red Army if they have a IPO and you think you can get good returns. $75,000 can do a lot of growing between 5-12. Also I said put them in a PS when they are a little older.

I agree.

Long time since I so looked forward to a hockey game.

Or in my case, that I have made racist post's[without providing examples, of course] But really, Rather then dumping $75,000 to get my kid to the 5th grade[ K-4] I would rather put the cash in a collage fund,and put them in a private school when they are a little older.

They would all be Braille screen's.

So all this occured to you because you where able to program contacts to a cell phone?

I think it was more about quality of education, but my God, 15 grand for kindergarten? Are they fluent in 3 languages when they enter the 1st grade?

Then you go on to recommend Mcnabb

Oil $5/gal, not gas. That's $210/barrel.

I could have swore I put my keys in that pocket.

15K for kindergarten? Must be awfully comfortable nap rugs.

Not a phone, But I left a Garman GPS on the tail of a 4 seat airplane I was flying during the pre flight, still in the tie down. Well, hour in to the flight I realize it's missing, and immediately remembered what I had done. Get back to the airport and just in case if it's my 1-million shot day, I contacted airport maintenance to see if they would drive down the runway I used and take a quick look. Well sure enough a few minutes later here comes the maintenance guy in his truck with a big grin on his face. Antenna a little tweaked, but still dutifully reporting lat/long. Given the spot on the runway where he found it, it hit the asphalt at a minimum of 60 MPH.

Sackless wonder.

BAD- Perhaps if you had said 'poor' or "minority" kids your accusation of my limited vocabulary would have been justified Do you know what bad means?

I take it you watched Bill O'Reilly today.

Nicely put and so true.

? I didn't see any woman there. Really though, it was sad.

Calibration is much too precise a word. The damn thing was a full 3" shorter in hight then the standard tire.

Interestingly enough, Chrysler provided a space saver donut as the standard spare on their 90's AWD minivans. I have talked to [unhappy] owners who used them. The transfer case was destroyed before they even got off the shoulder of the road.

Now now don't you know sarcasm When you see it? BC.
