Either way - I probably wouldn't try to fight over it.
This doesn't apply to you, but I think the state of Florida should institute a 100% tax on tanning beds. The name of the tax should be the Anyone who is stupid enough to pay for something that is in abundance for free is likely to be stupid enough to pay this Tax. Sure, this doesn't apply to all of Florida, but it seems like the Tampa Bay area has too many tanning salons considering all of the surrounding beach areas.Quote:

When I was a kid (a long time ago), my brother and I ran over each other to get to the phone when it rang.

To me, some of those should have been disqualified since the people had been working on them for several years before the fair. I thought it was something that had to be done in a certain timeframe.Quote:

The new speed limit starts where the sign stands. By the time you get to the sign, you're subject to the new limit.Quote:

What I've heard is that it is a fertility drug. Manny claims the drug was prescription. This leads me to only one conclusion. Manny is preparing for a sex change operation. Think about it. That's why he's not appealing the suspension. It will give him time to have the operation and be back to baseball.Quote:

after the "show" was over, he saw the Tech logo on my fishing shirt from Techteamshop (i'll be looking for that endorsement check next week) and asked if i went to Tech. i started to do a "here's your sign" joke, but i decided to be polite and said yes. i knew he wasn't a Tech grad, so i didn't bother asking him where he went. someone else said, "where'd you go, lsu?" he said no, and i could tell he was starting to blush. he said, "guess again, we were big rivals." someone else guessed nichols. he finally reluctantly admitted "northeast."

True Grit is a pretty good movie and an even better book.
My biggest gripe with the movie is the standard one that the Rockies don't look much like the Ozarks.
Nothing on TV - watching Georgia and Ohio State softball. Georgia down 4 - 0, 2 outs, runner on first, best hitter on deck. Batter bunts, pitcher takes it and makes the throw to first and the play is very close, but the umpire calls the runner out.
I thought it would be a great time to try out the new TVOE replay, and when I froze the runner's foot hitting the bag, the ball was still a good 2 feet away from the glove. The umpire blew the call.
Does that bother anybody else? What is real is real, and she was safe. Will official's TV review finally take over other sports like it has football?
read a book.Quote:

Is there any other job in the world where a person can be so wrong so often and ruin so many well-laid plans and still keep their job??????????????????

Stay cool man :glasses2:
Yes, very dry heat. That, combined with the sun beating down cosntantly, is what makes it hot. Otherwise, to me, it really isn't that bad. I'm one of the most "out of shape" people here, but I'm not near effected by it all as most around me are.Quote:

Dry heat is also terrible on engines. Humid air pulls heat off the radiator much more efficiently.Quote:

I just think they are a waste of time. I guess they probably do reduce static to some degree, but I just suspect that their helpfulness is overstated.
They are useful to wipe down a stinky dog or to stuff in a spit cup.Quote:

They are also useful for when you have an old washer that doesn't have a dispenser for liquid fabric softener. They really do soften fabric. But, I will quit using them once I get a washer that has a dispenser for the liquid stuff. Just don't have time (or the attention span) to babysit my washer to wait for the right cycle to add the liquid.Quote:
