I'd like to say, "yes", but I drive a mini-van.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 28, 2010 -> 11:21 AM) That is pretty freaking sweet. But what do you do if you do the tip and they say no...you take the money back right? They know the drill. If they can't do anything for you they'll give the money back. But, it's always a nice gesture to tip (a couple bucks) for them trying anyway.

I don't know a lot about the working out or diet, but I do know a bit about the running... I would chill a bit on it. Run 5-6 days per week at most. If you must do something, trade in those days for lifting. I'm constantly in "training" mode for one race or another, averaging about 25-30 miles a week and I never run more than 6 days per week. Your body needs the rest.

They picked up 54 and 8 in '94, and IMO this year is more "toxic" than '94. So, yes, it's very possible.

I went to 1 year of high school with Geoff Jenkins in California - the same high school of Jerry Manuel and Chris Bosio.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 6, 2010 -> 08:39 PM) This thread has taken a fun Chicago-centric turn. Here's one. Remember when Shelly Long was the cute-as-a-bug Homemakers Furniture Girl? "It's not low price furniture. It's good furniture at low prices!" Going back a little further, remember when an unknown kid named Gary Coleman was on the Harris Bank comercials? Harris Lion: "Yoouu should have a Harris Banker." Li'l Gary: "You should have a Hubert Doll!" I had one! We still have one around somewhere. (My grandmother doesn't throw anything away.)

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 31, 2009 -> 04:02 PM) so there was a bunch of threats, and we were supposed pick out exactly when, where, and how... Got it. Yes, because that was a Republican Administration.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Dec 28, 2009 -> 11:12 AM) It also says that those puffer machines are $160k/each. According to the ATA there are 526 airports in the US which offer commercial/public service. Assuming that on average, each airport needs 5 of these machines (more in LAX, ORD, less in Rockford, Bloomington-Normal, etc) that means that the total cost of putting machines in their necessary spots would be $42,080,000. The current US population is 308,248,249 people. Which means that if we implemented a per/person tax of 13.7 cents, we could cover the entire cost of these machines, nationwide. Shoot double it to 27.4 cents per person to cover any costs associated with maintenance and repair. Please tell me you're not serious. This is the same FAA that just threw a $5 Million Christmas Party and the same government that wastes untold amounts of $$$$. That $42M will very quickly be $42B when the jackasses in DC get their hands on it.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Dec 28, 2009 -> 09:59 AM) She's backtracked on that today. I heard that this morning. She's saying it worked after the initial incident - we were able to contact all other flights in the air, etc. In other words, after the first horse got out of the barn we were able to close the barn doors. I hope the 278 people that horse almost killed can sleep easier knowing the "system worked."

"The system worked." Seriously?

Guys, I'll find out and update later. Obviously, I'm having a hard time getting ahold of her. One update though, they let her husband come back home for the time being.

Fire Guts Soldier's Home They're accepting donations at the Portage WalMart and Demotte State Bank in Cedar Lake. This is a family friend. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 05:08 PM) Beckham would have to lead off if we really added no one. I dont think they want Alexei getting tons and tons of at-bats. I was also glad to hear some of the comments by Kenny that speed at the top isnt the end all be all. Beckham can put himself on second base quite a bit. That's just crazy enough to work!

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 02:20 PM) besides anyone in the Federal Government, correct? Probably. I've only heard it as a trivia question. Probably means county level.

I believe they're the only person that can arrest the Sheriff.

I love how those that complain about Fox News and the like probably don't even watch it. And don't give me the, "I watch Fox News all the time" line, because it's easy to claim that on a forum. We'll never know the truth unless I'm sitting in your living room with you or you're a Nielsen Family. Yes, Fox News leans right - even somewhat during their news segments. That's why I watch it. MSNBC leans left, so I've heard. I don't know. I don't watch them. Not that Fox would want to move to the middle when they're so popular, but at this point it would be next to impossible. The commentators that are willing to come on there are from the right - the Karl Roves. Do you really think Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid is going to go on Fox? I also think it's funny how the OP says Fox "calls" themselves news, but all the others are actually news. Even though I watch Fox News I'm smart enough to realize that Beck, O'Reilly, etc are OPINION, but they're more than not my opinion, so I will continue to watch. And another thing, are you serious about requiring "Opinion" on the screen or banning the 24/7 news cycle because what they report is not what you believe to be legitimate news? Wow. Maybe Beck is more right (correct) than I thought.

I'll give you the first piece or real advice in this thread: Tell her you'd love to meet here friends and hope they have a good time at the movie. Meet up later for a late dinner, etc.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Nov 3, 2009 -> 11:37 PM) I'll save you the time, they're lizard people and they don't mean well. It's a remake of an 80's miniseries. I'm 35 years old. I realize that. I just thought they did an incredible job recreating it. I like the similarities and love the additions, like the sleeper cell of Vs, etc.

F**king awesome!

Great job, Rex! That's not too crazy about the GPS watches. Mine's usually about the same. The course is measured by the shortest distance possible. There's no way you'd be able to run exactly on that line. You running the Mini next?

QUOTE (qwerty @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 05:42 PM) I would have sued the living s*** out of them for this very scenario... then... and now. I have had several cases in which my schools have tried to persue something i had done outside of school, and they personally never got very far. I'm surprised pencils are allowed in schools anymore, not to mention a compass, scissors, rulers, etc. Compasses are so damn mean it's not even funny. Sued? For? Sports are an extra curricular activity. You have no "right" to be on the team. When I was in high school we had to sign something that said we would not drink, smoke, etc. during the season, outside the season, at school, outside school. If we were caught, we were off the team. Sue? Yeah, makes sense. That's how too many parents are these days: "I don't give a crap about my 16 year old drinking and driving and smoking weed, I just want him to play in the big game this Friday!"
