Joe Ferguson forever

One thing we thought about when deciding to stay put were the seasons. We really like to see them change, especially the spring and fall. We have a relatively short winter averaging about 10 inches of snow. I had to salt and clear the driveway twice last winter. No big deal when you're from WNY. pretty certain we wouldn't enjoy a 2 season area. And I always remember the advice of a good fishing buddy: "Don't leave fish to find fish".

Take a child's game in eight letters. Change the sixth letter to a C-H, and phonetically, you'll get a popular animated children's character. What's the game and the character?

playing devils advocate: There are 4 sides to most buildings. therefore at least 52 windows He may have jumped from one not tested by the penny drop and left the window open.

trump is the most litigious man on earth. Musk is the richest. Why is trump not suing Musk?

No. we are one of, if not the only country that allows it. How crazy is it that the intent is for patients to ask for expensive (sometimes very expensive) meds when something else may be indicated. It must work or they wouldn't spend. This is costing the healthcare system a great deal.

maybe more than 1 solution? If something obstructs the fall of the penny from each floor and the obstruction is large enough to stop a jumping human, he would not likely die from a 1 story jump. But I await the accepted solution

there are patios oficreasing size on each lower floor. the penny lands and stops on the patio below with each drop. he couldn't have jumped far enough. So he must have been killed on the 2nd floor?

send it to npr. you might win their Don Pardo voice on your answering machine or some NPR branded wine.

Mountain of Virginia. We worked here 30 years then retired. No place I'd rather be.

NPR's quiz. Last weekend. Solution to come next Sunday I think. The tree has got to be beach (beech). The beginning is more difficult. Q: This is a phonetic challenge in four parts. First, say a letter of the alphabet out loud -- like B, C, or L. Then name something you might carry around in your pocket. Say it twice. Finally, name a variety of tree. Say these four things in order, and phonetically they'll name a nice place in the United States to vacation. What is it?

I figure $30. Broke even on the first few trades. At that point he has an animal he has $60 invested in. Then he sells it for $90.

I was a Rockefeller Rebublican til I met my wife. We are now extinct. Rocky was cool. Built the 2nd best State University system in the country. Cali has the best. Education is good.

nope. including myself. kinda tears down your argument.

ya know, these aren't just typos. It's barely discernible. Yes, I think they know more than you.

I'll stick with Bill and Melinda. We all want to assist causes that target our aid priorities. It's our money, it's our choice, it's our right. And we believe it's morally sound. You can stick with Homer Simpson. And if that carwash pays for aid to a flooded regional area, I tink that's just fine (We don't do carwashe). Wine tastings get bigger bucks.

he studies include US metro areas. I think social scientists have thought more deeply on this subject than you're capable of.

Science. In this case social science. Within the criminological literature, there has been considerable research devoted to understanding the relationship between homicide and social protection, both within the United States and utilizing cross-national samples. Despite the measure of social welfare or social protection used, the results have shown a consistent significant negative relationship between social welfare and homicide. Within the United States, for example, the significant negative relationship between social protection and homicide has been found across standard metropolitan statistical areas (DeFronzo, 1983; Messner, 1986), cities (Sampson, 1987), and even a specific city over time (Chamlin et al., 2002). Cross-nationally, the research has found significant negative relationships between social protection and homicide utilizing different measures of welfare spending, including a decommodification index (Messner and Rosenfeld, 2006; Savolainen, 2000), percent GDP spent on health care and education (Pratt and Godsey, 2002), welfare spending (Gartner et al., 1990; Pratt and Godsey, 2002), and the amount of social welfare spent in US dollars for each nation (Savage et al., 2008). Regarding their study, Rogers and Pridemore conclude that: One key aspect of social protection is that it is meant to act as a safety net for citizens in times of economic downturn or provide a better living standard for citizens who live below or near the poverty line. Ultimately, the aim of social protection is not to reduce inequality but to address absolute deprivation by raising the standard of living of those who live in poverty to a level that provides the minimum necessities to survive day to day. The moderating effect of social protection found within this paper supports this view. We found that nations with higher levels of social protection not only have lower rates of homicide, but also that the strength of the association between poverty and homicide in these nations is weaker. Therefore,while there are many more direct goals of social protection, one important indirect effect of providing greater social protection is a reduction in violent crime.
