  1. I taught all 4 kids to drive. You notice I have no hair. ALL of my kids had to have an adult around way into their teens. In some cases, that just meant having a parent in the theatre, at the concert hall, at the mall, it all depended on WHO the kids were and what the event was. On the PLUS side I would not have seen Weezer or Goldfinger if I had not taken Nikki to the shows. I also ALWAYS talked to the other parents to confirm plans, made sure I had a phone number for sleep overs, and when the girls started dating, the guy ALWAYS came to the door, no pulling in the driveway and honking the horn. Now that the youngest is in college, I talk to her about STDs, date rape drugs... hell she asks ME questions sometimes because she knows I will always tell her the truth. None of the 4 kids have ever been arrested, 2 of 4 have tried drugs, all have done things that make you gray but they have been better than I was at their age!! Back to the question from LabattBlue: NO WAY does she go alone without a parent around. She may hate you now, but one day she will understand. Fezmid, PLEASE check back on your opinions about this when you have kids.
  2. First, I do not think the Bills would move north. Tagliaboo said: Second, the Bills would not be the Bills anywhere else. The Toronto Bills? Los Angeles Bills? Give me a break. If the Bills leave Buffalo, I have no team.
  3. My brother has been a carrier/clerk for about 20 years, and is a preacher too. He likes the job. He lives in rural Pennsylvania and it is a good paying job with great benefits. With a little luck, he may be the post master in a small town soon. My grandfather was a carrier for over 30 years, from the 1920's to the 50's ! I turned down a position with the post office in Penfield, NY in 1980 and kind of regret it. The biggest problem at the time was that they start you part time, usually work you at least 40 hours, but could not promise anything. I had a wife, three kids (including a baby), and a newly purchased home; I needed the promise of at least 40 hours/week.
  4. What an incredibly thoughtless thing to do!
  5. I got 82% with an average error of 38 miles out of place.
  6. I like you better when you are bad.
  7. Don't ANYBODY pinch this guy, he is living a dream! Enjoy yourself, Doc!
  8. Yes, the distractions almost cost him his job back in his 2nd or 3rd year - too much bad press about non-support of his brood.
  9. Hmm, a local dish perhaps - like armadillo road kill stew?
  10. Actually, I think she did mean her psychotic nerve.
  11. Cindy, did your ass see it's shadow? I need a weather update.
  12. I have not seen this on the wall and thought it was funny. This is a link to the Bud web site and a commercial you will NOT see on Sunday. You can skip the hype and just click on the "ad" you won't see. No Fun League
  13. Do you have some ideas? How would you deal with the current QB situation? Dumping Drew and having him lead another team to the SB seems to be a stretch. Bledsoe is not Lamonica. I agree it would be nice if they could do something truly innovative, but that requires full support of all the egos involved too. BTW: I do not think they are listening to the fans much.
  14. OK, this woman is disgusted with the idea of having to screw any old butt ugly man who has a credit card. What about you guys? Any old slimey skank who wanted service would be an acceptable job for you? What makes you think you would even get the job after your employer saw your photo?
  15. I am honored. Are you the artist? But GOD that would make an ugly wall!
  16. My opinion: Star Wars was a terrific film. It reenergized science fiction, action flicks, and launched a few careers. It was great as one movie. The sequels were just additional fluffernutters. LOTR was also ONE MOVIE, in three parts because of the length of the story. Taken in that context, I have to say they are a tie.
  17. Hmm... I think I smell a Wumpus!
  18. yes, rockpile like beer hammer sounds hammered
  19. Now there's another random musing! How you be, Mark?
  20. Perhaps the cap just could not absorb two #1 salaries. Anyway, I vote "No". Rock has spoken.
  21. Why? Check out his TV spot "No Deal to a bad deal for New York" The ad says Pataki is going to allow out of state tribes to build gambling casinos in NY. The Oneida Nation urges New Yorkers to contact Pataki and tell him "No Deal to a bad deal for New York" My question, and forgive my ignorance concerning the affairs of state governments, federal governments, and the rights of the Oneida Nation. IF out of state tribes open casinos in NY, won't that bring JOBS to NY? Since the Oneidas are NOT technically a part of NY, why should I care which nation NY state deals with? Shouldn't NY make the best deal, and go with it?
  22. I get an hour, but I take it at my desk (pack lunch at home). I usually do not get interrupted but sometimes I do. I make up for it when I go out for a Plate and take 2 hours.
  23. TBD History <sigh>
