  1. I have XM and have had it for a few years and I LOVE IT. I really don't know what i would do without it, particularly on long road trips. They are merging but i am not sure if it will be for awhile.
  2. Rather than vote, I would love to see those women who have a "tramp stamp" i think they are pretty cool and some are quite beautiful and creatively designed
  3. No. Our top-tier health care is probably the best in the world. But calling it a system should take into account all of the users, not just the ones who have access to it because of either insurance or money. Wendy W. You make a good point. Its a myth that the US has the best health care system in the world. In fact, out of most industrialized countries, the US is far behind in quality and health outcomes. For those that are willling to pay at some of the specialized hospitals or integrated systems, yes, they will get the most advanced technology and latest treatments. But as far as what is available to the population, it is very tiered. The question of health care coverage and whether individuals have a RIGHT to health coverage is truly a philosophical question. Some believe it is a commodity like any other and that the market should prevail and that it is a decision that belongs to the individual. Others believe that everyone has a right to a certain standard of care and coverage. The problem that we have here in the US is that we have both systems.. its the dirty little secret. We have both socialized medicine (45% of the country is under govt. health care) and the rest are either private/employer based coverage. And even those that are not covered, can get care at the ER as hospitals are required to provide care. in my view, there is a definite need to do something in our health care system. It is definitely hemoraging badly. For those that want a market system -- well, there is no market right now. For those that want single payer government -- well there is no one government system. Its really going to take the involvement and hard decisions by every group -- and that includes the consumer who right now doesn't want his choices limited but wants everything to be free and wants to eat all the donuts in the world. Face it -- health care is a commodity like everything else -- and there is a limited amount of money to spend. So at some point we have to make some hard decisions, before the system blows up. just my little opinion.
  4. The music didn't skip. They started the wrong track, it threw her off, and while she was trying to figure out what was going on, her voice magically started singing without her mouth moving. I stand corrected!
  5. I can't believe i know this but it was Ashlee Simpson. She was lip synching and then realized the music skipped and tried to hide it by doing some stupid dance on stage. Then she ran off. Hilarious
  6. i am curious about the 3 women who voted yes.. ouch!
  7. Chick fil a is the best. However, it always seems that when i want to go its a Sunday and they are closed (i believe Chick-fil-A corporation is owned by Mormons or something? Is that right?)
  8. Lincoln Park, Buck Town, Wrigleyville neighborhoods are one's i recall. I know that new revitalized areas have become big but i haven't been there consistently for a long time.
  9. While I am sure that it depends on the individual, it seems that guys don't realize a good thing until its gone and then they do realize it and want the girl back. Or he is in a different place than the girl when they meet and he isn't ready for commitment but once he loses her, he realizes that "hey, maybe i can commit after all because she really is worth it" And then, sometimes she is still there or sometimes she is not. Or it just might be that once the pressure is off the guy realizes that he was with an exceptional woman and once he commits then both sides are equal.
  10. nNe of my favorite things to do on sunday morning is to buy the paper and go to brunch with my boyfriend and just sit there pouring through the entire paper. Throughout the entire time we sit there and read certain parts to each other or get into a discussion/debate on the various articles. Plus I love reading the travel section and dreaming about trips i want to take. Otherwise, no i don't read the paper every day. Jut bits and pieces of it online. i wish I had the time or energy.
  11. Does that mean he got some?? hahaha.. thats for ME to know Mister.... Honestly he did not because of those flowers, but that gesture, among many other thoughtful and kind gestures/actions, did result in me thinking of him a different light. He and I had always just been friends (although I knew he liked me much more) but his constant support through some rough times and consistently being a friend, has resulted in something a bit more. So who knows, your "investment" in flowers may help. But don't count on it
  12. i second what you said -- it might just be the shoe that is the wrong fit for your foot. That can make a world of difference. You may need different support than that shoe provides. However, i usually replace me shoes after 6 months -- and I run about 20 -25 miles a week. And then keep them around for kicking around the house shoes.
  13. i was having dinner with a guy friend of mine and somehow the topic of flowers came up ( i honestly cannot remember why). Anyway I mentioned how much i love gerber daisies. He of course had no idea what they were and i told him what they looked like and why i liked them. Well, the next day i had a dozen HUGE gerber daisies delivered to me in a beautiful vase. I was completely surprised and touched by his thoughtfulness.
  14. every couple months it seems
