Yes.

Next question.

He is holding his CO boarding pass. It looks like he is declaring CO will go bankrupt.

Good m:rolleyes:rning!Actually, no -- I know several people who use the toll roads a lot more than they think, but swear that since they are not commuting in their car that they don't need EZ-Pass. Then they complain about sitting in line. True, I have no idea how much you really use them.

No, problem!:p It's all just fun -- I can't complain, since I'm not sitting in my car at long lines, nor commuting!

The pink bathroom from you know where just doesn't want to get done. I have to wait for some caulk between the tub and floor to set up enough so I can get more in place. Then I can change the toilet seat (old one works well as a work surface) and them I'm done.

Boy, that pink bathroom sure is putting up a fight, eh?!:D

Just final clean up to do now which I'll do either late tomorrow or early Thursday. It's done otherwise until it gets a proper makeover some year (yes I did this all taking into account the most likely redo)

Why is it that every day I get out of bed turns out to be a day on which I read, see, or learn something that reduces my faith in humanity?

You could get an Illinois I-Pass, which is compatible with EZPass. No monthly/annual fees. $10 refundable deposit on the transponder, $40 balance to open the account.

If you happen to be in the greater Chicago area at any point, you can acquire one at a Jewel-Osco grocery store, even.

Thanks for the heads up -- think I'll stick closer to home w/PA.

In that example, British English considers the team to be plural. American English considers the team to be singular. You're not British and your mistakes were tense and spelling related. ;)

Easily solved. Don't watch Fox News, CNN and MSNBC, and don't listen to NJ 101.5 You'll be much happier afterwards. I'm very serious about that.

In all seriousness, I try not to be...but it's getting to be more and more difficult. :(

But 101.5 speaks the voice of reason in many cases. That's the double-edged sword....it's fun to sit there and yell your agreement, but in the end you realize that it achieves nothing.
