greg, Most people are independents. You don't really need to identify with a political party. To be honest, I actually beleieve that is detrimental to the country for people to do.

So the rental debacle ended with my girlfriend writing the Illinois AG and the AG sided with her. The company cut her a check for the remaining $200 they owed her. She only lost the $80 for the application fees which is should have happened in the first place.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 07:27 AM) I do. The non-compete only qualifies for sales people leaving and deals they'd been working. I think I'm in the clear. I countered asking for 12% more. I'm told they'll respond today. That said, I'm taking the job either way. It's too important to my family's future. I could work at this place, worry free, for the next 30 years. Loyalty is overrated. Companies treat employees like numbers anyway. You have your family to worry about. This is a no brainer.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 6, 2014 -> 01:30 PM) There is no compelling reason to make a choice, each side is on the take from special interests or their own party. Nothing ever changes and if it does the next election will be about changing those changes. When have we ever had an election where its about keeping things the way they are because it great right now? Its always whats wrong, and how to right the ship. The f***ing ship never gets "righted" QFT

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 12:33 PM) It's joking of course, but it does seem to work out that way. The Republicans are trying to kill off their base and the Democrats are trying to keep them alive. POTD

I see it this way. Now Republicans have two years to clean their image up or there will be another Democrat president for 8 years.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Nov 5, 2014 -> 12:27 PM) I think it's the latter, 37% of yesterday's voters were 60+. Still, it's the Democrats own fault. They pass Obamacare, less old people die, and now there are more of them to vote Republican. Are you telling me Obama pigeon-holed himself to lose senate and house power by keeping Republicans alive to vote against him?

Dude you should see some of the young voters who think they are too hip and cool to vote. It's funny because they don't realize they have a lot more power than they think. Put the bong down young ones before it's too late.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 07:34 PM) signs placed around college campuses in Atlanta: If people fall for this, they probably shouldn't be voting anyway.

Not worried too much. It's game 2. Hopefully this team gels.

If he pitched all year, we might have got a 1st round pick instead. Stupid, stupid Hahn.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 30, 2014 -> 06:13 PM) Okay Conway Twitty version of Patrick Stewart...and no as cool as Heisenberg. Congrats, take a screen shot.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 30, 2014 -> 03:35 PM) Congrats on falling upward man! I know that has to be a rarity in life. I'm really fortunate.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 30, 2014 -> 01:55 PM) Because he insisted you were fudging your hours? Well he basically told my agency there wasn't a lot of work and he didn't understand how I was working 40 hours a week. So instead of telling me to go home or come back later, he just got upset and stupid. I didn't really see myself there long term but I just got a 20K raise. So obviously it was in the cards for me to get this gig.

Got laid off on Tuesday and just got an offer for a new job today. Man it's nice having marketable skills.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 30, 2014 -> 10:24 AM) Nullifying the power.

Where were the elite Royal hitters?

Warriors going to win this game? WTF

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 29, 2014 -> 10:35 PM) My friend just said this was one of the most intense series of the past decade and that the Giants were the underdog. No. This was one of the worst World Series of the past decade and the Giants were certainly not the decade. I could see why the Giants could be the underdog with the Royals steamrolling there way into the world series.

Peavy is trash. I don't know what it is about the guy but he's just not a winner.

This world series has just been plain fun outside of yesterday's game. Whatever happens it has been entertaining.

Is Bum better than Sale?

Who do you guys have tonight and do you think it'll over/under 7 runs?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 28, 2014 -> 08:42 PM) I have a feeling Eric Hosmer is the biggest douche ever. Based on what?

I have been interviewing and I can go back to the old gig if need be. I just found the situation odd because I keep to myself and don't talk to anyone. I do good work too. I never had any intention of staying on as I'm going back to school next year. I just think the guy is racist. There are no other black people who work at this company.
