I have my better, more relaxed jumps when i get a good song stuck in my head that i can sing to myself on the ride up as i think about what i'm going to do, Red Hot chili peppers "Tear" has become my favorite for this. ___________________________________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

This case is a little older so sorry if this is a repost but search turned nothing up and the first i heard about it was on rita cosby tonight. Pamela Rogers Turner is going back to jail for contacting the boy she had sex with. Also made a myspace account with a racy video in an attempt to contact him. link to story: http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&ct=us/1-0&fp=4458a801113c6316&ei=Wx1YRIrACMSGwwHm8s3ECw&url=http%3A//www.nbc4i.com/news/9135994/detail.html&cid=1106207385 *warning next two links are sexually suggestive* link to myspace page (screen shot only, page has been removed from myspace.com): http://www.badjocks.com/pamela-myspace.htm link to video: http://www.badjocks.com/images/rogersturner/teacher.3g2 ___________________________________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

Curious, I know youre religious bu i don't really know how you'd answer this, would you support a company's "rights" to not hire sexually active male homosexuals? Anal sex is illegal (many states), sexually active gay men have anal sex. Also, if you answer yes to that question what about heterosexual men who engage in anal sex with a woman? Should they also not be hired because it's illegal (most states)? ___________________________________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

I thought i answered that here: So Merry Festivas. "Which is to say Christmas, as in Yule. Yule log. Not a log. I don't have a log, but I mean, you know, if I had a log. Not in the sense you think you think I said I did. Good golly" ___________________________________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

Actually Jan. 6th is just the day that greek orthodox churches celebrate the epiphany. Which could mean christ's nativity or his baptisim. I had always heard that if you look at the accounts of Christ's birth in the bible, it was most likely in the Fall ___________________________________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

For the same reason you celebrate Christ's birthday on a day which, by close examination of various passages in the Bible, he was not.** Because that's a day/time "almost everyone" celebrates. I use the word christmas because it's convienent, and i don't think Frank Costanza's Festivas will ever catch on. **Some of the possible reasons christmas is when it is has more to do with: (i copied and pasted the following) -- The 25th December was celebrated in ancient days as the birthday of the unconquerable SUN god, (variously know as Tammuz, Mithra, Saturn, Adonis or BAAL) centuries before Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem. -- Nowhere in the Bible are believers in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob required to celebrate Christmas. -- The early Christian church did not celebrate Christmas. Instead it celebrated the sacred festivals mentioned in the Bible, in Leviticus chapter 23. -- In order to win Gentile converts to the Christian faith, the Roman Church, centuries after the apostolic era, adopted this ancient pagan winter festival of the SUN god and renamed it 'Christmas' mistakenly thinking that it would honour the SON of God. Another few hundred years and i predict there will be little to no mention of Christ on christmas, but the holiday will still be celebrated as a day for putting corporations in the black while we put ourselves in the red ___________________________________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

Just a quick thought but let's say the oil companies were in big trouble finacially, wouldnt' the government bail them out like the did with Chrysler in the early 80's and then again with the airline industry after sep. 11th. That was billions of dollars of our money used to help out corporations in trouble. So by that rationale shouldn't a very successful corp. give a little back? ___________________________________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

sorry but i post as i casually talk. ___________________________________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

I work in an elementary school and me and 3 co-workers were thinking of all being characters from the wizard of oz, but it now looks like someone beat us to that, so i'm looking for any ideas on what the four of us could be. we are thinking possible being scooby-doo characters but i don't really like that idea since i would be shaggy and that really doesn't require much dressing up Any ideas? BTW i hate disney so nothing from a disney movie. ___________________________________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

The place i had developed trust relocated and Unfortunately, this new place i went to wasn't a quick oil change type place, it's called budget brakes and auto service, a local repair shop i thought i could develop a new trust with, but they lost that pretty quick. now i have to start over again in search of an honest repair shop.... wait is that an oxymoron ___________________________________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

When they told me i needed the service done, that's when i told them i had already told them. If they then would have said, 'oh well we were just going by the mileage' then fine i would not have been upset. But after i told them i had it done, they lied and were like, "oh well it doesn't look like it was done", they were trying to cover their asses so they didn't look stupid ___________________________________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

Well i took it to a 4th place and spoke to a 5th place on the phone. Basically what i've gotten out of it is that the 2nd place probably didn't even look at it and just went off their computer and my mileage to determine that i needed the service done (which btw was NOT how they made it appear, they made it sound like they opened it up and both those fluids looked like shit) Also, out of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th guys i talked to they pretty much all agreed that i probably did NOT need the brake fluid flush. Most of them said that was only done in case of contamination or if i drive in hot climates (i'm in michigan). So basically auto mechanics just moved into the number 2 spot of professions i hate, still behind lawyers, and now ahead of insurance agents/adjusters/workers ___________________________________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

Because I DID get the service done at the first place. Now, 3 WEEKS LATER a second place is telling me i need to get the service done. So either a) the first place didn't do it and i paid for nothing. or b) the first place did do it and the second place is lying to me. ___________________________________________ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin
