Listening to him was so funny. Where did he go to school? Did he ever take a science class?

That's what being a C U Next Tuesday will do for you.

I've been turning to the NFL Network... a lot, lately. Some of these classic games are ^. And, now that I am home, NFL Live on ESPN has been a staple of my TV diet.

My personal "best" was 5 HD visits in a single day during a tiling project. I'm always forgetting stuff.

Our house needed a fair amount of stuff done when we bought it - in either '05 or '06, I reviewed my credit card records - I had made something like 100 total transactions there.

My mom is the garage sale queen. I started selling bottled water and soft drinks. It was very profitable.

I saw that and am hopeful. Plus, I'm still waiting to hitch a ride on the 345.

This further continues my goal of driving ALCO crazy by flirting with teh equator, at best. :)

Time Warner doesn't bother to carry NFL Network and I am seriously :rolleyes: about that. I renegotiated and got a much better rate when we moved into the house but I want to get Dish Network or something when football season comes around. The only issue I have is that the deals they offer come with required professional installation and they decided, for reasons passing my personal understanding, that drilling holes into the roof was the best way to install the dish.

I do not want holes in my roof. Nay, I will mount the dish on the eve with a small extender. But most of the, "professional" installers won't do it that way. So I dunno what to do. I'd go to a bar but they all allow smoking here; that was one of the few nice things about California.

Would it scare you even further to know that he has a law degree? And that he obtained that law degree in IAH, at Texas Southern?

I live in her district unfortunately. Mrs. photog72 and I will vote for the other candidate, WHOMEVER that is. We cannot stand her.

Yeah, this is our first house so I was always forgetting stuff I might need. I also didn't have a running stock of stuff because we were in apartments before where it was not needed. I'm slowly building a collection of stuff though. I need to build a workbench before too long, but I haven't had the time (or the saw) to do so yet.

That you have a big mouth? :p:D;)

Shocking. Just shocking. :rolleyes:

Zing! That one was over the fence. :D

A C-bomb reference in Teh Box. I figured if anyone was laying odds as to where that would come from, the favorite was not the one who pulled thru with it. :D

Hmmm. Not as much as "irritting necessities".


Many years ago, I was an HR Director for a Law Firm in the City of London. As such, I sat on the salaries committee, which was always headed by the Managing Partner of the Year.

My firm had about 450 people - 50+/- partners, maybe about 120 associate lawyers, about 100 +/- secretaries and the rest were support staff of differing descriptions.

The year I was pregnant with my elder daughter proved to be my last with the firm - my choice - due to the, what I consider, egregious attitude of the managing partner that year.

I am sure I was somewhat "hormonal" being 3 months pregnant while sitting in committee, but when it came to deciding on the salary increases for the secretaries, (bearing in mind we had given HUGE increases to the associates and some support staff), he huffed and puffed and grunted "God, they are such irritating necessities, given them the basic increase" and with that he closed the meeting.

I was both speechless and furious. I walked out of the meeting, made an appointment to "visit" with him, met with him, told him what I thought of his disgusting comment, and resigned, effective when my maternity leave ended (so he legally had to pay me for my maternity leave :D).

I have never forgotten that statement. It was so demeaning to those girls that worked so hard for the firm.

And, I got to spend time with my new baby without feeling guilty about giving up work!
